Myrna had vowed from a young age to take on the responsibility of her village and their people, learning her trade and healing them as best her ability allowed. So when Eithne returned from the shore with a great many Vikings in tow and immediately went in to speak with their ailing chief, she knew things were going to change. But would it be for the better or worse?
When these two come together, each with a past they’ve vowed to keep alive, it absolutely drew me in, brought their heat, and then melted my heart.
Ragnar is the third book in the Viking Surrender series, and I suggest reading book one, or the prologue to this series first. Myrna specifically picked Ragnar’s blade, therefore him as her husband, and while she expects his brutish behavior, she’s confused by the softer moments he shares. But when the truth of their pasts shows an unlikely connection, can Myrna heal her marriage like she heals lives?
I was so intrigued by this story based on the blurb and I’m so happy with how everything played out! It’s so easy to see how Ragnar is hurting from his past and it’s obvious to see Myrna’s strength as a person and as a healer, so I loved their romance as they came together to heal both of their own souls. Nothing came easy for this couple, except maybe their passionate connection, but even then, Ragnar fought his own emotions when it came to Myrna. I loved that she was able to fit missing pieces of Ragnar’s past into a puzzle she could solve and I loved that she gave him the option to live in the past or accept and thrive in the present and future. I definitely felt all of the feels in this romance and definitely look forward to the next book in this series!
In this story from the Vikings Anthology, we see Ragnar and Myrna wed. Ragnar is a mean, scowling Viking who lost his beloved wife because a healer couldn’t save her. He has vowed never to love again. Right away, Myrna has two strikes against her. She is a healer who Ragnar will never trust and a woman who Ragnar will never love. Myrna has also lost the love of her life, who she still speaks with as if he were still there. Ragnar however is drawn to her beauty, strength and healing ability and against all reason finds himself falling in love with Myrna. Myrna is attracted to him also and does not understand his anger toward her. The key to whether they can admit their love to each other lies in the Pict dagger that Ragnar carries and which draws Myrna to him. Can they finally open that lock to love? This is a romantic, bittersweet story, well-written with a unique plot. Great job!
Book three in the Viking Surrender series another well written story in this series. Myrna and Ragnar will have alot to overcome, but they are in for one huge surprise. Both of them have been married before and have lost their partners Coblaith and Talorc. I would say read this book. I read a copy of this book through K.U. and I am voluntarily reviewing.
