Time traveling Viking werewolf (Fenris). Not really looking for his fated mate but found her (Chloe) anyway. It was a little different from other shifter romance. But I enjoyed reading the story. I look forward to seeing what happens with Rafe.
Loved it. The story, characters, plot, everything about it.
A Story Drenched in Love and Longing with a Side of Confusion…
Being a Norse gal, I’m always intrigued by unique love stories with a viking tilt to them. So, when I read the descriptive blurb for “Her Viking Wolf”, by Theodora Taylor, my interest was sparked. And after the first three chapters I was both enchanted and confused.
Here, Taylor presents the story of Chloe and Fenris. Chloe being a she-wolf in her mid twenties, engaged to the Wolf King of Colorado’s son Rafe. An engagement of an odd sort, containing mixed emotions, and unforeseen delays. Delays that have Chloe struggling to maintain a balance between what she is expected to be as the fiance of the wolf prince, and who she really is, a wolf with a penchant for all things simple and homespun, something other’s around her don’t quite understand. And Fenris, Viking Wolf King of the North wolves of Norway. Who, through sorcery spun by his loving Aunt is sent a thousand years into the future, right into the path of Chloe, his fated mate.
What follows is a fairly fast-paced, rollercoaster of a tale. One that will flip you from laughter, to anger, to soul cracking angsty love from page to page. It is an unexpected love so bewitching, so delicate and tender it will make your chest ache a little. All while pushing you unwillingly through a backdrop of heartbreaking sadness and deep longing. A rather unobtrusive juxtaposition at first. A quiet somber tone that pings softly at your heart, so subtle you don’t notice it straight away. Yet ever present and weighing throughout. A weight so heavy around both Chloe and Fenris’ souls that at certain points, you will cry outloud at the past injustices befallen them both. And if it were not for the cheesy language dialects, and the overlooked paradoxes the underlying plot of the book presents, it would have been glorious.
I fully understood the need to illustrate the obvious language barrier that would exist between a viking from the old world and a modern American woman. And while some of the words used throughout are indeed correct, the silly banter, and skips and jumps in understanding is nonsensical at times, farcical at others. Additionally, the overarching theme of time jumping presented here, is done so in a way that created so many questions in my mind, I had to stop every few chapters and just think. Think about how some events portrayed would alter others enormously, creating a conflict of events affecting both past and future. Also, the attitude changes undergone by the King and Queen of Colorado make your head spin, and will have you saying “wth” aloud as you try and understand why “A” is suddenly “Q”.
It is a bevy of confusing plot points and emotional mismatches that left me a bit worn out by the end despite the heartfelt love story within.
