This is an action packed romance with a cast of strong characters centering on Gisla and Enzo. Their chemistry is hot but neither are ready for this arranged marriage. There's a lot of conflict and both are fighting their true feelings. I enjoyed watching them work through it all. Set in the Viking era the author does a great job describing the times,characters and scenes perfectly. It's well written,moves quickly and smoothly and I loved reading their story.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.

This is more like a 4.5/5 because level of toxic was high in this story. This had “Taming the Shrew” vibes and a lack of reasoning behind a lot of the decision making. The storyline and plot are captivating and the dialogue, especially inner dialogue, is enticing. I had to see what was next because the characters are not predictable. Normally that would bother me but the storyline kept me going. I wish Enzo went through more pain and discomfort from hurting Gisla the way he did. I needed more desperation from him and restraint from Gisla due to the toxic level of conflict between them.

The Shieldmaiden Princess:
Gisla's story is a very dramatic one who is ordered by her brother the king to marry a bishop. She is a lusty heathen and he a Christian with some faults of his own. This makes for a very interesting story not to miss. There are many surprises as we follow the couple coming together and finding happiness.
Each story flows nicely into the next book
Adult advisory.

Gisela is a fierce, strong and stubborn character. She is well written and likable. The storyline is very entertaining and kept me hooked. I liked Gisela and Enzo together but I'm on the fence about Enzo. This is a very entertaining read.

3.5

Juxtaposition

Gisla is a heathen (great) a shield warrior (cool) whibis stick with Enzo and his holier than thou stuck up his A.

I would have preferred she off’d Enzo.
