Publisher Description
It is 850AD and Norse warrior Rolf lands on the shores of East Anglia determined to take revenge on a Celtic clan. Following a fierce battle, where the Celts are savagely killed, Rolf comes face to face with the daughter of the slain Celtic leader. So stunned by the beauty, along with the courage of Brigid, he is convinced that his Three Fates of Destiny brought them together. Resolved to make this woman his own, he spares the lives of the captured Celtic women and children and takes them back to his homeland across the ocean. Strangely drawn to the Norseman who is so sure they are destined to be together, Brigid must fight against succumbing to the wishes of the man who killed her father. Nevertheless, to save her fellow Celtic captives from slavery or worse, Brigid must keep a bargain with the Norse leader—a bargain that will see her tied to him forever. In present day Cornwall, naturally shy Rolf shares his secluded lighthouse with his wolfhound. An artist, he delights in the rugged scenery and ever-changing weather. While in the nearest bookshop one day, he meets a newcomer to town. Brigid’s unusual personality strikes a chord with him. Not only are both convinced they have met before, but their fascination for Viking and Celtic history forges an unusual bond between them. Outspoken and forthright, Brigid sets out to break down the barrier of reserve and caution Rolf has erected over the years. Is it simply whimsy or can lovers across centuries be reunited?

True Love, Soulmates, Destiny, and Fate!!
This book will make you believe in true love, soulmates, destiny, and fate!!
This book takes you on a whirlwind romance of two characters across two different time periods that shows no matter what setting they’re in – they were always meant to be together!!
At first, we see Rolf and Brigid in a more complex backdrop, during 850 AD. Rolf is a Norse warrior that just invaded Brigid’s homeland. Rolf killed the Celts there, including Brigid’s father. However, after seeing Brigid, he is instantly drawn to her and decides to make a deal with her. If she agrees to be his, he will spare all the captured Celtic woman and children. She of course agrees, always thinking of others, even though she at first repulses Rolf.
Okay skip ahead a bit and now we are in present day Cornwall. Rolf and Brigid bump into each other at a local bookshop. Now, they don’t know that they are reincarnations of those two earlier characters, but they are drawn to each other and feel like they have met before. There is serious instant attraction and it’s super cute to see the chemistry and how well they fit back together.
The second half was definitely more my favorite part of the story. I loved the characters interaction trying to figure out how they knew each other and just how well they fit back in each other’s life – like no time had passed. It made me think about those times when I meet someone and have that instant spark and feel like I know them from somewhere... Maybe I’m going to have to take that more seriously next time lol.
Although, as I just stated I like the second half best, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the first half being done exceptionally well with regards to creating the Viking ambience. The author did a remarkable job setting up the scene for the Viking raid on the Celtic village. It was very historically detailed, bloody, gory, ruthless, and fierce! Very Viking-ish if I remember my history lol.
It is clear that the author is well versed in her historical references which ups the ante to her romance writing as it gives them real-life and hard fact context.
The writing style is fluid, well developed, and at a steady pace.
All in all, I enjoyed reading this book and would absolutely recommend this book to anyone interested in a romantic, historical, reincarnation book.
