Sigh. Vikings. Yes please.

Borghild meets her childhood nemisis again, except this time he's the jarl and demanding marriage. Eivind is arrogant, ready to be a leader, yet hasn't stopped to ask what Borghild wants in this situation. Borghild is sassy and funny, she can take care of herself and is a perfect match for Eivind. Eivand is all man, yet is so tender toward Borghild. She challenges him to a holmgang.

I adored this story. Laughed out loud at their antics, loved the viking culture, loved their banter. The bath scene was gloriously funny and sexy. The ramps had me giggling.
