Savagery by Emma MacKenzieMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
In 10th century France, 18-year old Cherine Cadet only knows one thing: that the life of a peasant isn’t a life at all. Tired of working in utter poverty for an unfeeling Lord, with only her indifferent family and love-struck best friend as company, Cherine dreams of the day she can run away from the future set-up for her, even if she knows there’s no real escape from her destiny.
Then, in one brutal instance, everything changes. A Viking fleet led by the powerful nobleman and warrior, Rolf the Walker and his right-hand man, Erik the Axe, arrive on the shores of the Lord’s estate. In minutes, the entire land is up in flames, Cherine’s family and fellow serfs are killed, and Cherine comes dangerously close to death herself. She is saved only by the fierce Erik – but a new lease on life comes with a cost.
The descriptive above from the author totally drew me in, as well as the cover!!! I just love Vikings, almost as much as Highlanders... LOL
Be careful what you wish for! Cherine wanted more in life. I don't think being a bone fought over by to Dominate Vikings is exactly what she had in mind. Looking back was not an option for her. Village, family, comfort zone all GONE. The only person trying to make life worth living for is Erik. Say hello to tall and quite killing machine Erik. Who treats her with nothing but kindness. Only hang up is he is grooming her so to speak for another. Just when Cherine gets use to Erik in comes Rolf. Rolf ruthless, sexy and kinda freaking crazy. The type who has no use for the word "NO".
I really like this book, 3 stars due to the fact I am a greedy girl.. I wanted the story to be longer.
If you are looking to get lost in a Historical Viking love triangle this is the book for you! First time reading the author but I am very much looking forward to more much more of her work..
Read on Readers!!
