A MAGNIFICENT HORIZON
Unaware he is the second son of a powerful Viking Jarl, dark-haired Sean was raised in an Irish monastery, destined to become a man of letters. But then he offers shelter to a lovely young slave--and changes his life forever. For when Natasha is recaptured and dispatched to Russia aboard a Danish Viking ship, Sean knows that he must rescue her. With Viking blood coursing through his veins, he ventures through the high seas to an exotic land--seeking his heritage, his family, and his lady love.
AN UNCHARTED PASSION
Tasha had admired handsome, powerful Sean from afar and sensed that he was a man who would offer his protection when she fled her captors. Though their time together blossomed quickly into passion, cruel fate soon tore her from his embrace. Now, aboard a slave ship bound for Russia, Tasha is stunned to be reunited with her heart's desire, who has been transformed into a Nordic warrior with bone-deep courage--and to whom she will pledge her own destiny...wherever it takes her.

3rd in a series about the children of Viking Ragnar Longsword. This is about Sean, son of an Irish woman who's been raised in a monastery and works as a scribe, making books. As a young man, he's sent to a Viking settlement where he meets Natasha, a Magyar being sold as a slave. She escapes on his boat and their attraction is strong. The abbot who is Sean's uncle, gives her back to the Vikings, who take her all the way to Constantinople. Sean confronts the abbot, discovers his mother in a nearby convent and goes to Northland where he discovers his father, brother and sister. They help him get to Constantinople where the steal Tasha back again. They marry and return to Nortland where Erica (sis) has her baby. Ragnar is murdered by his brother and brother-in-law Torin is made the new chief.
Story stool well alone until the family started getting involved and you didn't know the background behind them or comments they made. Otherwise interesting book and characters.

I really enjoyed this book--the characters, the historical information, and a different setting than most Viking stories. Kodran/Sean was the kind of hero I like--a man who is not a violent man and yet still strong. I would highly recommend this to readers who enjoy Viking stories.
