Golden Surrender (Vikings)

This is the 1st. Romance book I ever read. It inspired me on my. 40 year journey of reading. I loved this story so much I would finish reading it, turn it over and read it again I must re read this book at least 20 times in the last 40 years. This book was full of love, fighting, running and surviving. It gives a woman power back in a time when she had none. There's resilience, learning , understaning, concurring, forgiveness, and faith in your fellow man. Quite a book. Might just go and get it and read it again.

What a wonderful story. I read this book years ago when it first came out. Reading it this time was like I was reading it for the first time. Great characters, emotion, and detail. The alpha male was strong yet emotional. The fighting scenes were detailed and made the reader feel like they were right there. A great read!

This mixture of romance, history, and war turned out to be a very good historical romance. The two main characters, Erin and Olaf, are both strong-willed, proud and stubborn which made for some interesting feuding from the very beginning. The author fleshed them out enough to make you care about them, and like them both. Aside from the romance, which was very good, there were also some pretty interesting battle scenes as war raged on between the Vikings and the Irish. (Don't worry, these scenes aren't overlong.) The author did a good job of conveying the pride and dignity of both sides in the warring. I must admit I was slightly irritated by a few things Erin did, but I quickly overcame my irritation because of the interesting way that the situations were resolved. This irritation was also overshadowed by some of the admirable actions that Olaf took.In sum, if you like historical romances, this is a book worth reading.

This is the best book I have ever read. The main characters were beautifully written! Erin the beautiful strong-willed princess had me rooting for her throughout the entire novel and Olaf, stole my heart with his tough exterior but a true softy at heart. This is a story of suspense and love that is meant to be. It will keep you glued to each page, and make you cry at the wonderful ending. I loved it, and have read it again 4 times!!

I loved this magical viking romance. This book is the first to a trilogy, all three probably the best viking romances I have ever read. A must read and a must for your collection!!!

This was the first viking romance I have read. I thought they would be boring, I was dead wrong! I love how he was always telling her that she belonged to him. He was so forceful about it. How could she resist him. I loved this book. The first of a three part series. I read all three and they were all fantastic. This one was my favorite. It just seemed to me that there love was a little bit deeper. I love viking romance and I love Heather Graham aka Shannon Drake.
