Her Northern Knight

Norman Lords #2

by Hannah West

Alrek de Roch is a proud Viking fighting for the newly crowned King William, descended from a fearsome line of the best swords men in the North. After years in service to William, he along with his friend were granted each a title and lands. But to claim his new lands he needed to do two things, wed and bed the daughter of the last lord.

Darcee grew up as a man and would protect her home like one. When the Normans came knocking at her gates she was ready to fight for her home. But her step-mother let them in and the castle fell. Now to save her starving people she made a distasteful deal. She would wed the Norman, who would call himself her new lord, who was in truth a pagan Viking.

When to people so alike meet sparks will fly and a fire will burn. However will it be the flame of passion or the inferno of hate?

3.5 stars, I enjoyed the story, but as other reviewers noted there are a number of spelling and grammatical errors as well as modern language usage throughout. Darcee was given to Alrek by William the Conqueror in order to validate his claim to her land. She fights him to no avail and of course they end up married. There is some angst and bad choices on Darcee's part and they end up in love, but the reader really doesn't know why.
I like medieval stories and I am hopeful they might be making a comeback. Advice to the author - have an editor look at this book and clean up the details.

Sleek is not the same man we met in book 1. It just didn’t make sense.
