Wonderfully written and told! A historical romance worthy of the genre. 
 Vikings! Scots! Irish! Oh my! 
 Givens weaves a tale of romance, danger and adventure that is truly wonderful. I could barely stop reading the book and got rather annoyed that real life, work and eating meals got in the way of sitting down and immersing myself in this world of danger and love. 
 Gannon is Irish and Norse so to Margaret he looks like the Vikings that raided her home and murdered her family though she knows from a seer that he's the man who will change her life. 
 Margaret is a strong and beautiful woman who appears to be the leader of her people despite her brother's title. Gannon soon realizes that Margaret holds his heart with little effort. 
 The adventure that ensues is actually rather shocking as Gannon and his brother teach the men of a neighboring keep how to fight off attacks from the Vikings that are coming to rape, murder, pillage and burn everything they come into contact with. 
 The adventure is perilous but the romance seems legendary. 
 Givens use of historical facts and storytelling are memorizing and thrilling. A book well worth the read.
