In a world of unrest at the minute it was nice to enjoy a romantic escape to the past, with a ‘Harlequin Historical’ book and this one in particular grabbed my interest. 

The storyline was a simple enough plot but with depth and detailed characters to really set the Viking scene. Having learned about King Canute at school it was interesting to read about him in a fictional sense. 

The way the story is told and portrayed, you get to alternately experience both the main characters feelings, emotions and thoughts as they occur, which always allows for a build up of story development and with secrets and twists along the way, I certainly had my attention engaged. 

This was my first read of a book in this genre, as I was drawn to the historical time line and premise rather than the true romance angle.  Although I was expecting a lot of ‘steamy scenes’ there was some explicit intimacy but nothing over the top or too frequent. 

If these books are your sort of reads or you’re a ‘Mills & Boon’/‘Harlequin’ fan already, I certainly recommend “Her Secret Vows With The Viking” and the author Sarah Rodi, I’ll be looking up her previous stories and keeping an eye out for future publications!
