Viking's Prize: A Medieval Romance (Medieval Heroes) Kindle Edition

by Tanya Anne Crosby (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 1,625 ratings
She saw her fate...
Beset by prophetic dreams since the time she was a child, Elienor knew the Norsemen would storm Brouillard castle—she saw it in a dream. She saw the death of many. And she saw him—the golden-haired Viking who would claim her for his prize...

He wanted revenge...
Jarl Alarik Tryggvason sought revenge against the French count for reneging on a bargain; what he got was a dark-haired beauty with violet eyes. Beguiled by her fiery spirit, she arouses him, body and soul... but in a land full of strife, Alarik risks everything to love the woman whose dreams hold their future in thrall.

Please note: Based on true events, this novel reflects a sometimes harsh Viking culture.

    Captivating!

    Wow, What an awesome book! From the first page and through out I was totally captivated. I literally could not put the book down. This was a fast read and one that you wanted it to last forever. It is also one of those ones that has such a happy ending that you just want to hug the book in the end.

    The characters are well built and you immediately feel for Elienor as she becomes the captive and taken away from everything she knows. she is feisty and strong willed and I love that about her. But hold up, the Vikings though are brutal savages in some instances may keep you in shock but there are a few who are sensitive and will have you swooning or your head spinning - LOL

    Alarik - the swoon worthy golden-haired Viking will have you melting, I fell in love with him instantly and I can see how easy it would be for the captive to fall in love with her enemy especially if he is anything like Alarik and to be king as well - LOL I'd be saying "take me!" LMAO! The romance between them built up slowly but climaxed in the end with some erotic spiciness that melted the pages.

    The story and its plot is beautifully written, the author did an excellent job capturing the feel of emotion between the characters and their circumstances. Showing the difference in reality of life styles between the vikings and the French was amazing. The feuding between the two cultures kept the deceit back stabbing and traitorous upsurging of ones territory on the edge of your seat exciting. The excitement never dulled and I only wanted more in the end.

    Brilliant Writing and I look forward to reading more works by this author. I recommend this to all those historical romance readers.

    Excellent Read!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Could be great, but writing style distracting
    Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    I feel like this could have been a great book. The characters were deep and the plot was interesting. However the reason I could not rate this higher was the writing style. The omniscient narration (head hopping) within paragraphs was just very confusing and difficult to follow. This could have been a great book with a limited third perspective that switched back and forth between scenes. I don't know if the writer purposefully writes omniscient narration or not, but from here on out I will sample her books first to see. It's a hard style to do well, and unfortunately, it added some real problems to the plot and character development, which is too bad, because this book has a lot of potential.

    I enjoy this author's work quite a bit, so I was interested in reading this work, which is a bit different from most of the others I have read. It's definitely not my favorite out of all of her many works, but it was quite good. I particularly enjoyed the character creation and the colorful descriptions.

    As usual, Ms. Crosby delights with just the right combination of romance, hot sex, intrigue, and violence. The little nun and the towering jarl were in denial over their feelings for each other right up until the very end, as usual. The little nun is hiding something, of course. Something that got her mother burned at the stake. Now she's met the people in her vision and she's afraid for the outcome. It will take betrayals and sacrifice by a loved one to bring these two together in the end. Recommended

    I finished "Viking's Prize" a few days ago and am delighted that it has lingered with me because I wasn't ready to let go just yet. Or, maybe I just wasn't ready to let go of Alarik! Alarik - Viking warrior, strong leader, handsome, virile. Yeah, that's probably it. No, that is really not it. This story was so much more than just a hot hunk intent on getting into his captive's panties (if they even wore those back then). Ms. Crosby wrote a very engaging story with captivating characters and a surprising amount of history. It really sucked me in and had me clamoring to know more about the era. Good job, Ms. Crosby, to get this girl who is not fond of history to Google King Olav (who is based on a real person) and Nordic mythology. Not only did I learn something educational, I learned I really loved this book and Tanya Anne Crosby's writing and plan to see what other adventures of hers I can immerse myself in.

    Ho apprezzato il ibro per il linguaggio ricco che usa, per i personaggi ben caratterizzati, e poi, in particolare, perché segue le emozioni, i pensieri dei protagonisti quasi in tempo reale, in presa diretta, con minuziosità estrema. Direi che è una caratteristica speciale di quest'autrice. Insomma è stata una lettura molto piacevole.

    If you've never read Viking books before, you might struggle with this one - and only because the English is definitely not modern and requires a lot more comprehension and reading skills compared to reading books set in modern times.
    It was an enjoyable read, though I found the romance a bit forced and weird... the 🌶 🌶 🌶 was nice, but I didn't really find any chemistry between them..... kept reading because the plot was interesting enough.
