Brothers of the Wild North Sea by Harper Fox

Her writing, in this instance, seemed better suited for the material, and at the encouragement of several friends I decided to try a historical by her. I never feel one hundred percent connected with the characters.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s absolutely lush and descriptive and transportive, but there’s something about it that’s very distancing for me. I’m not one usually for Harper Fox’s writing. Warning: contains battles, bloodshed, explicit M/M sex, and the proper Latin term for what lies beneath those cassocks. Yet old loyalties call Fen back to his tribe and a relentless quest to find the ancient secret of Fara-a powerful talisman that could render the Vikings indestructible, and tear the two lovers’ bonds beyond healing. And Cai, who had thought he would never love again, feels the stirring of a profound new attraction. But as time passes, Cai’s persistent goodness touches his heart. But instead of reaching for a weapon, Cai finds himself defying his abbot’s orders and using his healing skills to save Fen’s life.Īt first, Fen repays Cai’s kindness by attacking every Christian within reach. When Leof is killed during a Viking raid, Cai’s grieving heart thirsts for vengeance-and he has his chance with Fenrir, a wounded young Viking warrior left for dead. Heat soothed only in the arms of his sweet-natured friend and lover, Leof. He loves his life of learning as a monk in the far-flung stronghold of Fara, but the hot warrior blood of his chieftain father flows in his veins. Warning: Contains battles, bloodshed, explicit M/M sex, and the proper Latin term for what lies beneath those cassocks.His deadliest enemy will become his heart’s desire.Ĭaius doesn’t feel like much of a Christian.
