The Raider's Mercy: Where the Wolf's Heart Bleeds.

by Edge Walker

Fierce Viking raider Bjorn Wolfson never expected to find his destiny in a Saxon monastery. When he takes healer Aelfric captive during a raid, he gains more than a valuable prisoner—he acquires the one man who can save his life when a wound festers. As winter traps them together in Bjorn's northern settlement, an inexplicable bond forms between captor and captive, one strengthened by shared visions sent by Odin himself. But when Aelfric's vengeful brother arrives with Saxon warriors thirsting for blood, Bjorn must make an impossible choice between victory and mercy. Set against the mystical backdrop of Norse mythology, this tale of enemies becoming lovers explores how the greatest battles are fought not with axes, but within the human heart.

DNF-ed about 92% because I knew exactly where it was going: everyone is going to talk out their differences, sing kumbaya and live happily ever after.

This ^^ isn't even a spoiler, you can see it from far away (less than halfway through the book to be exact).

1.5 stars, but I am feeling generous and rounding up rather than down.
