This touching story draws you in from the beginning. Camilla is laid back and quite shocked that Erik is interested in her. They have similar issues when it comes to their fathers that effects relationships in general. Can these two who are so un alike when it comes to being in the public bridge that gap and garner a relationship that can lead to something meaningful? I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of tis book for an honest review.
GREAT STORY!
There is so much to love about “The Nordic Lighting.” First of all Hockey! There is something warrior like to this game. It’s two clans facing off to do battle, it’s a little blood thirsty and totally thrilling to watch. Camilla’s description of the game is so good that you want to jump up a cheer for your team.
Second is the love story, it’s so sweet and heartfelt, with a sexy viking, and a beautiful paralegal, she continues it to a very happily ever after for years.
Wonderful characters, well written, great storyline, everything you want in a good book.
Happy Reading:-)

This starts off as a seemingly light story with loads of heat but you find there is a lot of childhood baggage along for the ride. To say that Maya and Erik have daddy issues is putting it mildly. These two have a world of pain and anger to get through to let their demons go.
There was actual hockey in this book, a lot of these “hockey” books don’t contain much about the sport only about the bad boy player antics, which thankfully Erik is not.
Maya is a young black woman going to her first hockey game and she sees Erik for the first time. Something electric happens between them but she dismisses it as no big deal. Erik thought otherwise and tracked her down in the hopes of going on a date with her.
There is loads of chemistry between these two as they take their time to get to know each other and the secrets that are coming out.
I liked that the author did not have Maya go to ghetto speak when she was with her friends. Her female tribe pretty much covered all spectrums, plus her roommate being white helped make her more rounded.
Erik big Norwegian with an equally big heart knew what he wanted and went after it. He was totally comfortable with himself and didn’t mind making himself look a little foolish to get the lady. He was also not a man dog, which was so nice.
They had some stumbles but they handled themselves like mature adults and didn’t create needless angst.
There is some intense heat with these two and they do melt the ice a bit. Along the way they learn a lot about themselves, each other and finally see the other side of the coin with their parents.
Loved getting to know the family members of both of the characters his morfar/grandfather is a real hoot. You come to have a better understanding of the other family members as the story unfolds.
The only real big stumble for me was the stirring up of bad media stuff due to them being different colors. You figured out who the culprit was almost from the beginning and it just felt more forced than anything. Yes there would have been some blow back from his fans and possibly some of their friends, didn’t have an issue with it being addressed just the clumsy way it was handled.
Great story both of them were very likeable and you enjoyed them getting to their HEA. Plus as a reader you will also learn some Norwegian and some Swedish words.
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Eric and Maya both have daddy issues, there was instant love at first sight. The book was a page turner, the book certainly brought out steamy with emotions.
Thank you for allowing me to review your book.

I received this book as an ARC for a honest review.
I enjoyed Maya and Erik’s story. I’m curious to see if the author writes more stories using Maya and Erik’s friends.
Is it fate, is it lust, or is it love? I enjoyed Eric and Maya’s story. It was a sweet with some heat and no cheating. There were some issues, some mild intrigue, and enough “hockey” incorporated to flesh out the story. Not as drama (read action) as other books in the series, but still very enjoyable.
Run over by the Zamboni
The Nordic Lightning is an interesting story that was quite enjoyable to read. The story-line is not heavy or dark but is sweet, lovely and romantic in this opposites attract story between Maya and Erik. He is a professional hockey player for the Brooklyn Blades and is a Swedish import. Can you say really fast tall, blonde, handsome, sexy and panty melting??? She is a para-legal who is not athletic and knows nothing about hockey.
But one their eyes connect they are run over with the Zamboni!!!! If you don’t know about ice rinks then look this up.
Their relationship, really a courtship, is realistic and wonderful to read. That does not mean that there are not some steamy hot love scenes in the story also. The supporting characters are wonderful and not only helped move the story along but also added quite a bit as themselves.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This is a great story with wonderful characters that had been glued right to the end. This is the second book I’ve read by Camilla Stevens & look forward to reading more.

AN INTERNATIONAL INTERRACIAL LOVE STORY WITH GOOD VIBES
Maya meets Erik Sorenson, the Nordic Lightning, at a hockey game where she knows nothing about hockey. Love or lust at first sight and they are thinking about each other for the next few days. With a bold move, Erik finds a way to meet Maya. Both, having father problems, hit it off with surprising ease. Throw in bad past relationships and the culture differences, it’s surprising to see how well they get along. The big eye-opener is how well Maya, a black woman, was received by Erik’s family, Scandinavians, much easier than their relationship was received by the Americans.
I received this story for free and am giving my honest and voluntary review
I’ve read a handful of books by Camilla Stevens and The Nordic Lightning is one of my favorites. Loved the way the author brought Maya and Erik together and how once they finally meet in person a spark is ignited. This is a heartwarming romance about two people who work hard overcoming their past and finally getting their HEA. This is a well written book with believable characters and a page turning story.
Maya Jackson was just helping out her friend when she agreed to take her son to a hockey game that his father was to busy to attend with him. Little did Maya know, that this one good deed would send her life down the fast lane to love.
Erik Sorenson lived for play hockey because that’s the one thing he could count when everyone else had failed him. So used to just focusing on the game, Erik is knocked for a loop when in a full crowd of many shouting fans, he only has eyes for Maya.
Once these two finally meet they connection seems to be more than just a passing crush, but will experiences from the past prevent them from trusting what they have found together? The Nordic Lighting was a sweet romance and Maya and Erik were a joy to get to know. These two both came with their individual issues with their parents that they both had to work through but they seemed to help each other when one was having a tough time with forgiveness of past transgressions. The author did a good job in the characterizations of Maya and Erik along with the family dynamics that made them who they are. If you’re looking for a sweet read with a little family drama I think you’ll like The Nordic Lightning.
I absolutely love Hockey Romances so I was all over this book like nobodies business . I found Camilla Stevens writing to be totally enjoyable and I absolutely loved the premise of this story. Hot as hell hockey player falls for the woman sitting in the stands who is so obviously out of her element at a professional hockey game. The budding romance between the Scandinavian hockey God and the Brooklyn native is a real page turner. If you love sports romances as much as I do then you should definitely add this book to your TBR List.
A great sports romance read with just the right balance of sports, romance and feels. “The Nordic Lightening is a quick fun read that I enjoyed right to the end. This was such an amazing read that I will be looking up other books in this series. Well done Camilla Stevens on a great book. Happy reading!!
I really enjoyed Erik and Maya’s story. These two definitely were opposites but I found that endearing and loved how despite that, these two were able to find happiness with each other. Of course, that’s not to say it was an easy road as they both had to confront issues they had with things that had happened in their past. However, seeing them work through those obstacles together, and all of their great chemistry as their passion heated up the pages, kept me engaged and wanting to find out how their story would end. I loved this installment of the international legacies romance series and can’t wait to read what’s next. Great book!

I love a good hockey romance and Nordic Lighting delivered. The writing was well done and the characters pulled me and kept me interested. With the h/H being an interracial couple I thought it gave a totally different perspective to a common sports trope. Looking forward to reading more from Camilla Stevens.

I think this may be my favorite book by this author. Erik and Maya were perfect together. The way they met was so cute. His pursuit of Maya was sweet. They both had issues from their childhood which gave them an even greater bond. The issues with their families were very well written. It was heartwarming to see the growth of this couple.
There were lots of humorous events throughout the book which added to the entire story.
These books make you want to get on a plane and see the country. Norway sounds beautiful.
The other characters in the book were also interesting. I would’ve loved to see Zia and Grigory get together.
