Fjord Lord's Captive: A BWWM Dark Omegaverse Viking Wolf Shifter Time Travel Romance
She’s a scholar who fell through time. He’s a Viking warlord who bows to no one. A prophecy binds them, and a primal instinct will bring them to their knees.
Dr. Seraphina James is a woman of logic, a brilliant historian on the verge of a groundbreaking discovery. Her entire life is built on facts and intellect. But when a cataclysmic solar storm she predicted—a real-life Ragnarök—sends her hurtling a thousand years into the past, she finds herself stranded, defenseless, and impossibly alone.
Captured by a clan of savage wolf shifters, she is dragged before their Stigandr, the Fjord Lord. He is a brutal Alpha who rules his people with an iron fist and a beast’s heart. He sees a foreign witch, a strange prize from the storm. But an ancient prophecy foretold her arrival, and her scent awakens the possessive wolf within him. He recognizes her for what she his fated mate. His Omega.
He is determined to claim her, to use her to secure his bloodline and save his people from a starving rival who will burn the world to possess her. Thrown into a barbaric new reality, Seraphina must use her 21st-century mind as her only weapon against his raw power. But when an undeniable, primal heat ignites between captor and captive, she finds her own body betraying her.
In a savage land where biology is law, can her intellect survive being claimed by a 10th-century beast? Or will the wolf who captured her body be the only one who can save her soul?
Fjord Lord's Captive is a full-length standalone BWWM Dark Omegaverse Viking romance packed with action, primal passion, and epic world-building. If you love possessive wolf shifters, brilliant heroines, fated mates, and enemies-to-lovers tension, you’ll be captivated by this steamy time-travel adventure. Guaranteed HEA.

See the notes I made while reading this frustrating book
In lieu of writing an actual review, I’ll just paste my notes. This story irritated me too much. What wasted potential.
###
Lots of research into this. Maybe this is author’s day job?? Enjoying the backstory of character. Very detail oriented. Learning some things here. Interesting.
Finally! A modern person dropped in the past and is scared. Realistically, who wouldn’t be. Writing is quite good. I can feel her fear.
Why am I scared of them catching her hiding under the bushes? Bravo author. You have immersed me into your world and sucked me into your character.
Okay. She’s a doctor, a historian. A scholar. How many times are you going to state that?
He’s really going to just leave her lying in the mud on the ground? Please don’t make me hate him. Hopefully author can make him not be an A-hole, the way many do.
Oh gosh. Did he just… without her consent? When did they even get naked? He didn’t even clean her up first? Is he clean? Got it. So he violated her and claim it was her heat. How revolting. Not great, book. Not great.
Should werewolves not have a great sense of smell? How are they existing comfortably with unwashed bodies and rotting food? What did I pick up to read?
Mercy! If a single tear falls down her grime filled cheek ONE MORE TIME!!
Did a Black woman actually write this? What is this crap about hair? Feels a bit too OTT and performative. Need to check author. This is bordering on heavily performative. Hate it. Chunk? A chunk of her hair came off in her hand? Is this jokes? Author are you taking the piss on readers?
How are they communicating with no translation? Did they suddenly become able to understand each other?
Hmm, lowkey hate this ML. He’s not giving dark and brooding. He’s giving unclean and Ahole. Biggest ick.
Now they need a translator. Got it (I really don’t). Author needs: an editor, better editor or beta readers because this is a mess.
Chapter 27 and 28 repeated. Just phrased differently. Like author wasn’t sure which chapter worked best so she included both versions. I’m confused, is Stigandr his name, or his title? It kept being used as his title, interchangeably with Jarl. Why would you bring 40 of your best men to a mere stag hunt that will take 2 full days, when you are aware of the threat of attack from another village who wants your mate?
Girl, what do you mean you’re a captive, AGAIN??? You were never anything else? Aren’t you a historian, scholar and doctor?
Why are the fighters that were with you, hunting, nursing injuries when you all returned to the long house together? They were not involved in any fights. Why are they injured??!!!
So he’s suddenly in love with her? Was any of this ever shown? Or is author just making him fall for her now that she needs to move to next stage of book?
Surprising little to werewolfing in a book touted as “omegaverse.” Maybe author forgot?
Soooo, they do have shield maidens in the village, and none of them grabbed arms to thwart Axel? *deep sigh*
Girl, please stfu! That man does not care that you’re a “historian, a scholar, and not a tool or weapon,” and frankly, neither do I. 😭😭
Author needs to learn how to write a strong FMC. Feels like author is trying to have her repeat this to have her come across as strong willed, but in all honesty, she’s just coming off as stupid and annoying.
How is that a deadline??! How??? He said “your heat is coming SOON.” He didn’t tell you WHEN. *sucks teeth*
“My analytical mind” *eyeroll*
Who is the narrator? This is why I hate first person POV. I thought he already took care of Axel? How is he now grabbing FML by her hair? Why am I even bothering to ask logical questions at this point? Let’s just get to the end of this.
I swear, I do not EVER want to read the focking words, “biological imperative” ever again.
Bruvvv, how are you pregnant? Ughhhhh.
Oh, there’s more.

this is not good….
I swear to you that this author cannot let 1 page go by without reminding the reader that the main character is a “scholar” or a “doctor.” Give it a rest, we get it already. Aside from these constant reminders, this is just a book filled with fluff. Theres no meat on this bone. Hard pass.

☝🏼 such powerful story concept.
I was lured into this one with the enticing BWWM trope set inside the brutal Viking era. This book had so much potential. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement.. but from a historical lover standpoint. This book focuses on the alpha claims an omega plot. This story is about the FMC being a broodmare delivered by storm to a wolf shifter alpha MMC. The FMC is basically an incubator for his heir. While this is exciting - and others might really love this story plot - I feel it would have been stronger to cut out all paranormal storylines. I could have done without the wolf pack omegaverse plot. The author created a strong black woman scholar FMC. This intelligent woman falling through time and using her cultural research to survive the brutal realities of the viking era would have been a powerful story. I’ve read a lot of mindless time travel romances lately. I feel like this author created a strong time travel plot, a FMC with an educated background and a story that stood out from others. It could have been a story focused on survival and a building romance that was rich in history. This is a very paranormal romance. I honestly debated giving this book a star rating because this is all my personal preference. The rating is mainly because I think the author is a very lyrical writer and had beautiful sentences stringed together. The plot didn’t hit where I wanted to hit- again from a historical standpoint.
I feel like this is a selfish review because it’s 100% my personal preference. But I’m completely WOWed by the plot concept here. I’ll be sitting here yearning a BWWM time travel romance now because of this. It’s unheard of. I love when Indie authors create an original story.

not sure what is wrong but these books, AI OR BAD EDITORS
My biggest issue is from chapter to chapter the inconsistency of where it leaves of and where it begins. She standing, she is on her knees, he is I front of her, but now he is sitting in his chair. Her hands are free but next chapter they are still tied. I stopped reading a similar book right before this because was 10 worst with this issue. They were in face to face talking, but next chapter he is watching her from cameras in another room and they haven’t met yet. Either these are AI, as they all have a 2025 publish date or everyone involved needs to beta better.
That being said, this one is interesting so far, characters are good, story is paced really well, …..really a good story BUT if it keeps with the above issue I will DNF as the mental recalibration I have to due to fix where it was to where it is , knocks me out of the story.

Cliffhanger…
This is why it’s beneficial to read reviews before diving into a book. I had no idea this was a cliffhanger, and since this is my first book by this author, I’m unlikely to seek out the second one. As many reviews have pointed out, significant editing is needed. **Spoiler alert**: at times, I couldn’t determine the point of view, and at one point, it abruptly switched from his to hers, without any smooth transition. There was a scene where Phina mentioned waking up to a heavy arm across her, and later, he was barging through the door! When did he get up? I appreciate how authors can recreate romance (omegaverse) effectively, but this particular book simply wasn’t for me.

Good read but needs better editing
The premise: stranger brought to them by fate, hero’s closest advisor is doubtful, heroine must earn trust in new setting.
I thought this was an AI rewrite as the story wasn’t fluid and reminded me of two others. There are several scenes where the chapter ends one way, and the next chapter is a rewrite of the same scene. So did the previous version occur or not? (He grabs her arm and pulls her up, then the next chapter it restarts but she has fallen to her knees and he doesn’t grab her arm.)
One moment they can’t understand one another and need a translator, the next they are communicating without a translator. It was bothersome but I continued reading as I wanted to know the ending.

The elements of an amazing tale but the delivery fell short
The bones of the story are really good but constant repetition of intellect and doctor make it choppy and prevent it from reaching its full potential. The characters could have been developed better without the constant talk of being a scholar. When the scholar realizes that she is no longer in her time, she just runs away with inner dialogue of how a she is a scholar and can think. It’s over the top and I think the author could have used more finesse in conveying that point.

Captivating
This literally had me on the edge through the whole story, I didn’t want to stop reading. The way it keeps you guessing or in suspense, this is a really great story. I truly glad I choice this story to read to start the New Year off 2026. From the end there has got to be a part 2. I’m surprised even more, I had to go back into Amazon to see what T.S. Wilmot had to read, this story was it and it’s not a cliffhanger. I couldn’t even follow the author, which I really want to do. This story I can see myself reading again a couple times over.

She was my ruin. And I would burn the world to keep her
This is my first read by this author and I love their style of writing. It held my interest, didn’t have a lot of sex scenes and sometimes that’s okay, this was still perfect. I love how they grew into each other, she wasn’t anyone’s doormat either. She knew her worth, what she stood for and didn’t back down which was a great thing. I didn’t see where it said anything about this ending on a cliffhanger so now I have to see if there’s something else to this story. All in all, it’s a great story.

Has potential BUT…
If there’s one thing that I despise, it’s a story description that says “steamy” and there is absolutely no steam whatsoever. It is a complete letdown in that aspect. This is barely a “romance” either. Zero romantic connection or words said to one another. Other than that, I got very confused about whose POV I was reading. It is not labeled. One minute I think I’m reading the FMC POV next thing you know I’m reading the MMC POV without warning. Anyway… I felt like waiting for a peak that never came.

Cool story
The storyline was pretty cool I loved seeing a bright black women, using her intelligence to solve problems and not letting the plot ran over her. I loved this. I expected more spice though, I think in the description it said something about a steamy romance, and there's not steam at all

Time traveling a must
This is my first time reading this author, and I truly liked reading this book. I read it from beginning to end without stopping. I love how each character is strong in their own ways, but came together in the end.

Cliffhanger
This is the first time I've read this author. Good read but be warned. It ends in a cliffhanger and has only one sex scene that was all too brief.

January 10, 2026
2.5. I have never both liked and disliked a book so intensely at the same time. This starts off well, and unlike the last book I read where a black woman is transported in time, this one actually deals with issues that I felt were specific to a black woman i.e hygiene and how she would deal with her hair! Yes, yes, survival and safety are paramount, but this is a must. The author takes pains to establish Serpahina's credentials, and it's admirable that she wants to be more than just a womb for a prophecy. At least, it would have been if Seraphina was even remotely likeable. I feel bad saying that because I feel like I'm supposed to cheer for her - for her independence, and autonomy, and credentials - yes, she was a Doctor, a scholar, a historian, who possessed an analytical mind...all great things. And now for the lady, perhaps a personality?? If I had to read that she was a Doctor and a scholar one more time!! We know!! Good lawd!! Why are we still talking about her analytical mind at 90%??? This was completely overdone. It's like the author wanted to build her up to be Stigandr's equal, but there were so many better ways to go about doing that instead of brow-beating us with her credentials. All it did was make it seem like she didn't realize where she was. Lady, look around!! You're in the 10th century!! Apart from which, her whole refusal to cooperate on the prophecy kind of got on my nerves. Ma'am, aren't you the one that studied this and knew what it meant?? Her resistance at every turn just made me not care when the raiders showed up. They could keep her, honestly. Maybe Axel's village has a hospital and a research library. Alas, Stigandr saw otherwise.
There were ways she put her knowledge to use that I liked - teaching Stigandr's people about hygiene and food preservation, and I liked the method the author used to bridge the language barrier. But this, too, felt repetitive. How many times are we going to talk about rolling the barrels? I liked that Stigandr started to see her value as a leader in her own right, and his queen. I disliked her bossing him around when she was 'nesting'. An alpha loving his woman is couple goals; her turning him into a beta will never be sexy to me.
Lastly, the whole rescue, sigh. It was fine. Once again, her analytical mind saw the solution *rolls eyes*. Also, it says that . I went back to check twice.
A mostly well written book that just needed some tweaking re repetition, and I would have rated this four stars. A+ on the cover!

A mostly well written book that just needed some tweaking re repetition, and I would have rated this four stars. A+ on the cover!
