Review: The Viking's Captive by Ingrid Hahn

Synopsis

Thorvald Longsword can’t believe all he has to do is kidnap the daughter of his jarl’s enemy to get his land back. Easy. But when he finally snatches the princess up and tosses her over his shoulder, the beautiful spitfire makes him question his determination to get his land back at any cost.

Alodie gladly agrees to impersonate the princess so the bloodthirsty Northmen will take her instead. While Alodie might be ready to die for her people, she wasn’t prepared for how her pulse races for the maddeningly noble captor whom she’d just as soon hate.

But what happens when Thorvald finds out she’s not who she says she is..

Review

This is an interesting read that I enjoyed immensely. It is an adventure that takes us back into the time of Vikings. 'Demons,' as Alodie likes to call them, are not what she expected when she impersonated her princess and gets captured in her stead. But Thorvald Longsword changes her mind about the Northmen and she realizes that they are not Demons. They are just men flawed and misguided at times, pure evil at others. Yet, at the end of the day, they are men and shouldn't be hated for what their kind did. Now, she is willing to open her heart to one of them but is he worth it?

Thorvald wants nothing more than his land. That is until he meets Alodie. She is fierce and strong. She challenges him in ways that he didn't even think was possible. He took her from her home and she might never forgive him for that. But he is willing to try one last time to make things right between them. Maybe there is a happy ending for them after all.

I loved it. Overall, it is a great read even though at times I found it a little annoying. I liked both Alodie and Thorvald and I enjoyed the story.

P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley.
