Well-researched, Well-written, Absorbing Viking tale
This is book 2 in the Heart trilogy (see list below), by Kathleen Kirkwood, a pen name for Anita Gordon. It was my first by her but definitely won’t be my last. I loved it.
I wish I’d known this was the second story before I began, as I would have read book 1 first. (The hero and heroine in book 1, Brienne and Rurik, are characters in book 2 and there are lots of references to their story and the characters from that story. I also had the feeling I missed some of Lyting’s story that took place in book 1.) It helps to begin at the beginning.
This second story is set in 915AD and begins as a fleet of Danish drakken dragon ships attacks Eire (Ireland) to rape and pillage. Ailinn, a poor relation of the princess Rhiannon, was seized with the other young women attending Rhiannon’s wedding. But Ailinn was not raped with the others, which infuriates her cousin, Rhiannon, who assumes it’s because Ailinn wore the bridal veil in a last minute switch of attire.
Once the Danes arrive in their homeport of Hedeby, Lyting Atlison encounters them and is drawn to Ailinn’s beauty. Lyting, born a Dane, lives in Francia where his uncle is Duke Rollo. Apparently (possibly in book 1) Lyting was spared some fate that caused him to want to become a monk, but his brother, Rurik, thinks Lyting should take a wife and settle down.
Lyting first tries to buy Ailinn, not to have her but to spare her a horrible fate. When he discovers she is destined for a harem in Byzantium, he joins the fleet that will carry her there. And then the adventure begins, and oh, is it ever an adventure: from Danmark (Denmark) to Constantinople, through dangerous river rapids and deadly river pirates.
I liked Kirkwood/Gordon’s well-researched, detailed writing—obviously based on impressive research. I could “see” the places and people they described, hear the birds and feel the movement of the ships. I could taste the heroine’s fear.
The author clearly made an effort to make this an authentic Viking tale set in the history of the time, hence women taken as slaves were mistreated and raped. No surprise there. Gordon does it tastefully. The author also made an effort to date the speech to the period, which I appreciated. (I prefer historicals that don’t read like contemporaries.)
There were a lot of characters to keep track of but the author did a good job of providing descriptions. A character list would have been helpful. And there were many place names mentioned (a map would have been nice). All the same, the story drew me and kept me reading. Trust me, some of the scenes will have you on the edge of your seat!
Lyting was a “to die for” hero and Ailinn proved to be the most honorable of the women, looking after her frail cousin, Deira. I recommend this story and will definitely read more of the trilogy, perhaps beginning with book 1.

Really waffling between rating it one or two stars. The writing, even by Purple Prose standards, is fairly painful. Filled with 'twill (15), 'twould (46), mayhap (67), 'tis (122), and 'twas (207!).
Heroine Ailinn is the most beautiful woman ever, ever, ever. Everywhere she goes all the men lust after her and all the women are jealous bitches. Hero Lyting Atlison is the most handsome man ever, ever, ever but at least he does stuff. See, that's my main complaint with Ailinn: she doesn't do anything. At the very beginning when she's captured by Vikings she swears eternal hatred of the Norsemen, but that's it. She simply goes along with her captivity and doesn't even try to fight back. A Johanna Lindsey heroine would have at least tried to escape. Ailinn just sits there and waits for Lyting to come rescue her from whatever she's gotten herself into.
Another woman, Rhiannon, is also taken in the same raid and is subjected to repeated rapes but at least she shows some spirit. ("I shall not simply take hold of my fate. I shall bend it to my own will with both hands. I have no intention of enduring a lifetime of abuse or of filling an early grave. I can see to myself. And I will survive.") If anyone had a defiant heart it was Rhiannon. So naturally this means she's a villain. It's the Law of Thermodynamics and Romance Novels. Can't have a secondary character overshadowing the heroine.
The couple finally makes it to Constantinople where readers get all sorts of porn - historical porn, architecture porn, clothes porn. If that's you Thang then skip most of the book and go straight to the last quarter.

What an amazing journey across medieval Europe!
Lyting rescues Ailinn when he sees her being sold as a slave, but keeping her proves to be much more difficult than he expected. As they journey back to his home in Northern France, they encounter danger and threats from all sides, and throughout it all they each try to avoid admitting to themselves and each other that their attraction is any more than skin deep.
This story was absolutely amazing in its scope and depth. It sucked me in right from the start, and I was spellbound as we traveled across the continent and were treated to a glimpse of the life and times in this exciting period of history. This book left me with such a book hangover after I was done - it felt like I needed an entire day to process my intellectual return to the present day. Truly outstanding, brilliant writing makes this one of my all-time favorite books.

Loved this second book in the Heart series. The story was packed with action and perilous moments had my heart in my mouth. I found the author description of the places to be outstanding. Constantinople ... l was there, seeing the lustrous buildings and vibrant colours, looking upon people from all walks of life, could smell and hear all the place had to offer. The attraction Lyting and Ailinn clearly had for each other blossomed throughout the story, culminating in full bloom passion and a love everlasting.... marvellous!

I liked the plot and characters a lot but it seemed to get bogged down in descriptive details.

Lyting is back! I was so incredibly excited to read more about Lyting, and have him as the hero of this book. He captivated me in book one, and again in book two. He is so honorable and deserving to find love. He is the picture perfect Viking in my whirling dreams. He is very masculine, and clever as a fox. Although covered in the harshness of his environment, he is still gentle and kind to the people that he loves. He melted my heart with his care toward protecting his kin, as well as the woman that he loves. Keep in mind he is a Christian man, so he does hold back his passions for as long as possible.
Ailinn is a lovely character. She is very likable. Although a bit timid, she has spirit. If I were to describe her in one word, I would probably say she is "sweet." I can see why Lyting took notice of her.
Rihannan - I would have liked to have smacked that girl, and hard. But every story needs a bad girl, right? She is Ailinn's stepcousin.
Deira - Oh, goodness, that poor girl. Her nervousness made me want to curl up in a ball and rock back and forth myself! She is the other stepcousin to Ailinn.
I chose to read this book because Lyting was the hero. I read the first book with his brother as the hero and really thought Lyting himself would play a captivating lead role, and he did.
The first book had me raging in fits at the end of it. But after I simmered for about a year, filling my time reading a bunch of other books of similar genre, I was more than willing to come back to this author for a second chance.
The truth is, Kathleen is truly brilliant with coming up with plots. She fills every page with marvelous detail and action. Her characters are well rounded, and easy to relate to on a personal level.
Almost every book that I read after Valiant Heart, left me with an unfilled desire to find another book that would provoke such deep emotions in me. The others were just flat. I read them, reviewed them, and didn't think about them again. But Valiant Heart stayed with me. So too will Defiant Heart.
What I like better with this second book is that it didn't actually rip my heart from my chest and leave me sobbing uncontrollably, then patch me back up only to do it again and again. This one actually let me feel just the right amount of attachment & turmoil without over doing it. I was very pleased for that.
I will warn you that Kathleen's writing will keep your attention up until the very last page. She has a way of letting you think the ending is near, and then throwing in another surprise or two.
Only one small issue I have with the book, but I got used to it quickly is the jumping from a present moment into a past moment. I can see why it is necessary, but she gives little warning that it's going to happen. It might throw you off a bit if you aren't used to it.
The plot was well thought out. The history very well researched. The ending, satisfying. There is a third book in the series that I will be adding to my list.
I did get overwhelmed with emotion once, but only once. And that's okay with me. :)
I highly recommend this book, and this author. It truly beats some of the quick self-published garbage that is being marketed these days in the Viking Romance genre. It has 366 pages of excellence.

The second book in Anita Gordon/Kathleen Kirkwood's Heart series sees Lyting taking a journey to Constantinople with the Irish slave Ailinn. Lyting appears in all three books and in each book I liked him the best so obviously I was pleased to read his story. Ailinn is fairly boring but that is okay because not every heroine can be a sassy brassy miss. After all its pretty rough being a freshly captured slave that does not speak the language of one's captors. Another reviewer here rightly points out that Ailinn can not be described as defiant. I'm thinking that this is really Lyting's story and it is his heart that is defiant. His heart falls in love in defiance of the decision his mind has made to become a monk.
The thing that is good about this book is the same thing that is bad about this book. All the description. My impression is that Ms. Gordon researched how a journey from Denmark to Constantinople could have been planned and what could have gone wrong. So we get long descriptions of types of boats, preparing the boats, sailing the boats, portaging the boats, falling out of the boats. Then there are the people on the route that need to be described. And of course the glittering Constantinople inspires many more chapters of description. Streets, eunuchs, shopping, aquaducts, cisterns, forums, visitors, courtesans, palaces, churches, ...And that is good when it fits in the story but for a lot of it I felt the plot was motivated by a desire to describe each thing she had researched rather than having the plot motivate the writing. Still It is nice to have a historical novel where the author fully places us in the period so I am glad I read it.

Captured during a wedding ceremony, Aileen and other maidens of Ireland are carried off by Danes. She is spared the rapes her friends suffer, because the man who claims her sees her virginity as a valuable commodity. He intends to make a gift of her to a corrupt official in Constantinople, who can grease his way in the silk trade.
Unfortunately, her beauty has caught the eye of his rapey nephew, who can't see past the end of his own pecker to save his life. Literally.
Fortunately, she also gains the notice of Lyting, the younger brother of the hero in the last book. Lyting is fixing to buy a church bell, after which he plans to become a monk. Yes, really. But he lays eyes on Aileen and has to save her. Fortunately, his brother also has a mission for him in Constantinople.
The story takes us along the difficult route the Vikings took through the rivers of Eastern Europe, and into the dizzying politics of the Byzantine empire under a very young Constantine Porphyrogenita (Purple-born) and his mother Zoe.
I knew I would enjoy this when I read another review that groused about the historical details. If you like to learn new things while reading a pretty good adventure, this is for you. Also, there's a pretty creative assassin lurking about, which makes things interesting, though it's handled in a way that frustrated me a little. My only real grumble, though, is that the characters spent more time than I like thinking about their feelings. I'd much rather just let a story play out and FEEL those feelings with them as their loved ones face danger, etc.
So four stars, but a strong recommendation for the series, because it covers a period and places in history that haven't gotten enough attention in this genre.

Really loved how the author began with the continuation of Rurik and Brienne and the birth of their first clutch of children before launching into Lytings tale of rescuing Ailinn. I did enjoy this book, however in some areas I felt I was actually reading a historical fact book not a fiction, little too much over-explanations of history and seemed to drift from the story. Little surprised when Deira was killed off, which seemed to trigger a line of deaths, disappearances and more abductions lol. I'm glad Rhiannon got her just desserts, evil mare that she was, but wonder what's become of her with the Petchenegs. Was not surprised with what happened to Hakon just at how early on it was in the book, then wondered through rest of book of when he was going to reappear and how but for him to turn up so late left me a little disappointed and with no actual explanation of how he survived the Steppe and travelled to Constantinople, odd and frustrating. But so glad all worked out in the end, I do love a happy ending ;)

An exceptional story
This author has shared a most exceptional story in "The Defiant Heart." It's truly medieval adventure/romance with great characters.
Aillinn and others are captured during a raid by Norsemen and carried away by ship. All are ravished by their captors except Aillinn who is singled out by the chieftain to be a gift for a trader from whom he seeks a favor.
Lyting is a Dane who is smitten by Aillinn's beauty and is determined to protect her during a shared voyage. He is traveling to Constantinople to deliver a message to the emperor and to uncover a plot to usurp the throne.
I enjoyed reading this book and hope to read more by this author. My deduction of a star is for the 25 or so errors in the book.

A good book of a young woman taken as a slave and was to be used to further silk trade about the world. A young warrior who seeks to become a monk pledges to return her to her home.
Ailinn was taken captive in a raid on her village. With her were many other women from the village among which were three step cousins. All the women but Ailinn were violated. She was being carefully guarded for another purpose.
Lyting tried to buy her at the request of his sisters-in-law. But she is not for sale. Lyting joins the man who holds her because they are both traveling to the same place.
There is lots of adventure in this book. An enjoyable adventure for the reader.

[Received this book for free through Goodreads]
While I liked the characters and plot, I found the beginning to be very dry. If I weren't such a stubborn reader I never would have finished it. Once I got a third in however it was much better. The main male kept cracking me up. Monk indeed. And I liked how the female lead wasn't, exactly, timid as period writers tend to do.

Good trilogy.
Good plot and storyline. Well written also. Highly recommended to historical Romance fans. I don't know why these thing make you have so many words to the review. It is annoying that it won't submit just the amount AdWords want to submit.therefore this will be my last. SQ

Took me longer than ususl to get through this novel. It didn't grab me and entice me to keep reading. Good thing I am a stubborn reader. I found parts of the story interesting, but a lot of it dragged and was a tad dull. I liked the ending though.

This story had nothing on it. It had me at a BORE for the first hundred over pages.
The hero and heroine know of each other's existence but barely made contact
It made me want to tear my hair out wondering when some interaction is going to happen.
NOPE. JUST SKIP THIS.

A fantastic sweep of history as a background to adventure and romance. Other reviewers can detail the story; it swept me along like the rapids on the river. The historical detail leaves me in awe.

This was the second epic novel in the series, I initially didn't like it as much as the first book, but the ending was brilliant. Again this would make a great suspense epic film. Well worth a read.m

Not my kind of romance. It moved too slowly and I was bored.

This read more like a History book then romance. Set in the Byzantine empire, the author gives vivid details of the country and political scene.
Don't have too much to say about this one.

Captivating... Kept me interested. Was easy to read and the history was very informative. I will read more books by Kathleen Kirkwood.

Lots of rape. Not in detail, but still disturbing.
I personally, really don't like this book.
