I read A Viking Too Wild to Wed on New Year’s Eve, and let me tell you, that was a great choice. I always love Lucy’s books, and I have read the other books in this series, which do a lot of work to set up Egill’s story.
Egill Eriksson has lived a bit of a wild life as he followed his older brothers and supported their duties. Now he’s living in Iceland with his older brother Hakon and his wife Orla and is reevaluating everything. He’s met a woman he actually wants to marry named Mildritha. The trouble is, Mila is a thrall, and while Orla is a kind mistress who makes it possible and attainable for her thralls to buy their freedom, Mila has no interest in leaving one form of servitude for another. She wants to be able to support herself and live a secure, independent life, and from everything she’s heard, Egill is not the kind of man to settle down and provide a steady income. But Egill can’t stop thinking about her, so when an opportunity presents itself to spend two weeks with Mila in relative isolation, Egill takes it, determined to change her mind about him.
Technically, you can read A Viking Too Wild to Wed without having read the other Eriksson Brothers books, but I would not recommend it. You should read Wedding Night with Her Viking Enemy and the novella Her Bought Viking Husband, which is in the compilation Convenient Vows with a Viking, before you pick this one up. Both Egill and Mila are supporting characters in those stories, and you’ll better understand the events that led to them ending up in Iceland. The entire setup for Egill’s plot in this book is in Wedding Night with Her Viking Enemy, so enter at your own risk here without having read them.
Lucy Morris writes a banger. This is less plot-heavy than many of her other Viking books. It’s more of two people in a phone booth rather than the fights and politics we see in many of her other titles. But that doesn’t mean the stakes are any lower. Mila is a thrall. She is enslaved to Orla until she’s either freed or able to purchase her freedom. That means she has zero agency over her own life, and if Egill were not a good man, he could take full advantage of her status as a slave for his own benefit. Egill is an Oblivious Man™️ and has no idea that Mila might feel conflicted about a relationship with him because of their mixed statuses until his brother points it out, and then he goes out of his way to give her control in every situation. It’s a great dynamic.
I don’t want to give away the plot twist, but if you’ve read the previous novel in the series, you know what’s coming. I really didn’t know how Lucy was going to write her way out of that conundrum, but I trusted the process, and she made it work in a very satisfying way.
This was great. I am always happy to read one of Lucy’s Viking novels, and this was no exception. 4 stars.

This was surprisingly decent for a HQN. It's been a long time since I read one I didn't have to write a ranting review about to purge 😂
Overall the plot was interesting and easy to follow despite the obvious connection with previous books about the MMCs brothers.
I wasn't too sure I'd like the FMC much at first but she grew on me. The more I understood her cold or rude behavior when it came to the MMC it became easier to like her. Although I hated how she judged the MMC so harshly and was glad when she realized how unfair that was after seeing how her words hurt him and after he responded so kindly.
The MMC was really ch as mring and incredibly likable. I loved his vulnerability about his purpose and direction in life. I love this approach on how to win the FMCs affection. He was always so kind and patient with her.
Truly this was a nice easy read. But I did hate the plot device of the woman from his last popping up and forcing him to keep his word to marry her. It was very obvious she was lying but even with the way the author portrayed her she was never meant to be a villain or evil woman. Tbh I kind of hated that because listen she was ruining the MCs happiness so I needed to hate her! 😆 But mostly I hated how lred it and obvious it was to everyone BUT the MMC. I get it, he had holes in his memory regarding his time being nursed from a head injury so he couldn't be sure of what she claimed or if she carried his child but the stupid man never ONCE questioned her. That right there was absolutely unacceptable imho especially when he wanted to be with FMC so badly and hated hurting her and disappointing her. Even when the FMC brings the inconsistencies about the other woman's story to him that might prove the child wasn't his he still didn't confront her. He just sadly said he gave his word to marry her. Like dude! Even in the brief part he actually remembered he remembered saying he'd see her married, not that HE would marry her.
Anyway. It was actually not bad tbh so yay.

Who could resist a charming Viking who is kind and loyal??
I was taken by surprise by how soft, steady and emotionally rich this book. Set in beautiful Iceland, the story follows Egill, a charming, kind-hearted, and fiercely loyal Viking, living with his brother and sister-in-law, Hakon and Orla ( I truly loved Hakon and Orla's story!), Egill unexpectedly falls for Mildritha, a thrall brought by Orla.
Having experienced heartbreak and betrayal from the people she trusted, Mildritha is determined to regain her independence and freedom. It's one of the compelling parts of the story how thralls lived during the Viking era. Despite Egill's open and sincere feelings, Mildritha wants nothing to do with him. I loved that her resistance wasn't out of stubbornness, but fear of losing herself again.
What makes this book shine is Egill's resilience. Despite Mildritha's rejection, he responds with patience, understanding, and genuine respect. Well, just when I thought things were starting to shift between them, chaos strikes! The tension that follows is gripping! I couldn't put it down, wondering how the story would resolve this love knot!
Ah, after a dramatic plot twist, the ending is surprisingly graceful and satisfying, with no long drawn-out melodrama while honouring every character's dignity. How genius of Lucy! I loved it!
Overall, it's a heartfelt, slow-burning Viking romance full of emotional growth, cultural detail, and characters that linger with you. Perfect for readers who love patient hero, strong heroine and second chance romances.
