Loved Bjorn and Rhianna, great ending to the series
Rhianna, stabbed Bjorn with in hours of meeting him. While his life lay in the balance, Rhianna was ordered by his brother the Jarl to do all she could to aid the healer in saving his life. Bjorn would determine her fate if he recovered, if he dies so does she.
Bjorn and Rhianna develop an easy friendship. When it comes.time for the Jarl to pass judgement, Bjorn wants her for his wife.
Rhianna panics, and runs. Bjorn goes after her and he learns the story of how and why she became a warrior. He slowly breaks down her defenses.
Just when the village is settling in, word comes that berserker’s are raiding along the cost. Rhianna is determined to be part of the fight.
A great second chance romance. A little steamy, spanking for punishment and pleasure. A nice epilogue to wrap up their story and the series.
This is another great addition to the Viking Surrender series. Bjorn is not looking for a bride but Rhiannon attracts him as no other has, even after she stabbed him. Theirs is a strained relationship that has a happy ending but there is danger along the way, one of which is an attack by berserkers, at which they are triumphant. This is a great story and I would highly recommend it.
This was an emotional story. One that touched on a subject that was far too common in times of old and yet was dealt with all the humanity and empathy I could hope for. From tragedy came strength and from that strength came derision from some and admiration from others. The story of Bjorn and Rhiannan was the perfect finishing touch to an outstanding series.

My review :
Still scarred from a painful attack, will a woman be able to find a man trustworthy of her affection…
First and foremost, download the free prologue to be able to understand this tale wholly.
Vikings : Prologue (Viking Surrender Book 1) by Ashe Barker.

From the very beginning of the prologue, I was intrigued by Rhiannon. I quickly grasped which traumatic event shaped her as the proud warrior she had to become.
She is not one to run away but the humiliation she faced after her recovery, added to her wariness towards men.
Why she refuses to wed.
Björk after a failed marriage never thought he would want to settle again, but he is dangerously attracted to the little she-wolf who stabbed him.
I do wonder if they relationship would have had a chance if he had not been wounded.
As Rhiannon was forced to stay in close contact with Bjorn to help him recover, she at first didn’t see him as a menace, so she grew accustomed to his presence. And soon she becomes at ease when with him.
So half the work was done by her rash reaction.
Up to Bjorn to understand her and accept who she is by winning her trust.
Their journey is a bumpy one but it suits their temper.
5 stars.
Warning trigger : past rape.
I read this novella in the bundle Vikings : Nine Warrior-Hero Steamy Romance.

Book ten in the Viking Surrender series is well written with a very good storyline. This has been a series that I will read again at some other time. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
In this the last story of the Viking Anthology, Bjorn has the final say on the punishment of Rhiannon, who tried to kill him on the day the Vikings arrived. Through his convalescence, Rhiannon has had to help take care of him. They have spent many hours getting to know each other and Bjorn admires her strength. He decides she will have an initial punishment and then they will marry. Rhiannon has a dark secret and refuses to wed him. She leads him on several chases but is secretly attracted to him. She is no match for Bjorn but will not give in. This is a passionate, wonderful story of strength over tenderness, steamy hot and action filled. It is a fitting conclusion to the anthology. I will most certainly miss this family of Picts and Vikings. Goodbye my friends!
