Not usually a fan of dystopian romance, but dystopian Viking romance? Um, yes.

I read books 1 and 4 (??) in this series, and thanks to a sale on the whole series, I picked this one up, too. Hot is a given, and I'm hoping for some angst, too...

Jesus that first scene. I just covered my face. NO MAUD.

"As if she'd somehow shifted a giant boulder off of his chest with her soft, sweet little hands."

"There are no heroes, little nun. Only men and battle and the prices we all pay for the things we do."

"Her pussy was a blazing pulse. The plug in her ass was lighting her up and making her feel something like feverish. She thought she might love it. If she survived it, that was."

"You're a good, brave girl, little nun."

"Fire roared inside of her, lighting her up and making her feel heavy. Languid and lush. She settled back on her heels, spread her thighs open...."

I'm finding this one hard to get in to.

She was shivering, her eyes big and her legs shaking where he held them wide, keeping her tilted back and open to him. He stayed there for a moment, without moving, reveling in the tight, snug fit of her back passage. Owning her completely. Deep inside her where no one had ever been—and no one ever would be—but him.

“I know that,” Maud said softly. Not serenely. Her voice was husky. Broken, he thought. It had the same effect as her kiss. It made his chest hurt. It cracked him wide open, damn her, and he didn’t have the slightest idea how to wrap that shit up the way he should. Her blue gaze met his. Held. “Do you?”

Maud, you're breaking my heart.

I love Maud!

He kissed her as if this wasn’t new, this hungry taking. As if she had never been anything in all her life but his. His to toy with and taste, deep and rough and wet and hot. His to hold between his hands in an unspoken show of complete and utter command that made her tremble all over … then melt into the sweet, bright safety of another total surrender.
