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.
