When Eadyth, a high-born Saxon maiden, inherits her father’s prosperous estate, her villainous uncle’s matrimonial schemes force her to take refuge in an abbey. But then her sanctuary is overrun by Viking raiders, and innocent Eadyth finds herself captive to two fierce Norse chieftains, each of them a mouth-watering specimen of handsome, virile masculinity.
Blond, earnest Hjalmar and hot, dark, bad-boy Leif are brothers in search of a new home after being unfairly banned from their own country. They’ve always shared everything -- including women. When they learn that their beautiful prisoner is an heiress, Eadyth’s captivity becomes an exercise in seduction, with the brothers competing for her hand in marriage.
The Viking pair’s amorous abilities are more than equal to their skill as warriors. As each seeks to outdo his brother in pleasuring their prospective bride, the inexperienced Eadyth soon learns that while having one superb lover is wonderful, having two of them--at the same time--provides sensual delights far beyond anything she might have imagined.
Now that she knows what she’d be missing, turning away either one of her ardent suitors seems a tragedy. But her uncle has not given up his plans to seize her property, and settling down with one of the brothers is the only way for Eadyth to regain her lands and protect her people. Can she find a solution that will preserve her estate -- and satisfy her would-be husbands?
This smoking-hot M/F/M historical romance is a standalone work (no cliffhangers) intended for mature readers.
If you are looking for a great story with some very sexy brothers that love to be just enough spice. This book is for you!!
Eadyth has been having a few bad days. First her father passes on, her uncle comes to her home and ORDERS her to marry his 9 year old son . Eadyth gets away as she won't stand for this, she goes to her other uncle that is an abbot at the near by abbey. Then Northernmen attack the abbey and now she is sitting across from two of the most handsome, sexy, charming men that she has ever met and they are asking her to marry one of them.
Eadyth just wants to go home, what's going to happen?!?!?!

Straight-up porn. Highly enjoyable, hide your surprise when reading it at Starbucks, porn.
This was a fun story with a Lot.Of.Sex.
Hot sex. Filthy and long detailed sex.
The story was fun... but I may call it more of a premise. About on the level of focus and depth of the ordering and having the pizza arrive...
I downloaded this and a few other books to get me through my half-globe multi-day travel to the US this week. Started reading it in a Starbucks at the stop in NYC Port Authority I had and found myself very surprised and very trying to keep my face bland and act normal reading as people started coming in for their morning coffee and the smut started getting well beyond normal romance novel smut.
Blurry and jet lagged and reading a fluff book I thought and found myself hiding arousal in a coffee shop... and continuing to read after weighing my priorities lol.
But in seriousness, I didn’t expect the highly dirty nature of this, the way the storyline veered hard and fast from how it would normally be handled, and how lovely it was. Something different, something unexpected, something that applies and relates more to the lives of some of us, and done without a “bad” dirty... happiness and sharing and joy and adventure. A strong female lead whose happiness and determination is the backbone of the pizza delivery... and an ending so sweet and loving.
Definitely porn for private moments if that’s what you like to find in a romance novel form now and then (or always, whatever your tastes...), oh yep.
I got hot and loved the Kindle page at the end of the author's list of other books. With titles making hopefully clear and hopeful!
Two brothers try to woo the same woman, onto to realize that she loves them both equally.
Eadyth's father is gone and she is the sole heir of Haxby Hall. Her uncle takes it upon himself to make sure she is safe and sound. By marrying her to his 9 year old son. Only Eadyth is smart enough to know, this is not right and runs away. She runs to the only other family she has, but that turns out to be a bad idea too.
Then the Northmen come. One look at her and they know. They want her. Leif is a free spirit who likes to roam and war. Hjalmar, is ready to settle down, farm and have a family. Eadyth is perfect. She has a title, land, money, and passion. She is feisty... the brothers love that. They are struck by her spirit and her beauty. When one of the Northmen tries to 'help' Eadyth leave Leif and Hjalmar, all hell breaks loose getting her back.
Can Eadyth choose? Does she have too? She loves them equally for different things. In the end she follows her heart.
This book is short - 206 pages - so it didn't take long to read. It was easy and enjoyable. I loved both Leif and Hjalmar myself, so I understand her decision. I loved how both of the brothers were willing to court her and win her hand in marriage. It showed that they cared. Frankly what they did in bed wasn't to shabby either!
This book delivers exactly what it promises. A bit weird that the brothers are so cool with sharing a partner at the same time, but let's just skip right past that and pretend they're good friends. Other than that, successful spice is successful.
There's a lot of misogyny and evil characters in the supporting cast (specifically her family). It makes good/bad pretty clear, and a much lower angst read than it could have been.
Well I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this book. But I was frustrated with Leif he was being obnoxious 😂 I loved most of the characters and liked the storyline. I was sure Eadyth was going to marry Hjalmar and I’m glad she did. Sharing 2 men is a tough job!! I’m happy with the outcome of AEdgar and glad Alfrith stayed with them. On to my next book. 🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜💜
I feel completely misled by the lack of negative reviews -- though perhaps I should've paid closer attention to the lack of ratings and reviews overall -- and I honestly cannot believe I had to spend money to purchase this book. What a mistake!
The plot is absolutely dreadful, and I say that having come into this read anticipating cliches and overused tropes. I would have been A-Okay with cliche upon cliche, had there at least be literally anything of substance at all anywhere in this book. This reads like a bad housewife fantasy. There's the absolute worst case of insta-lust I've ever read in my entire life, there's evil family members who care nothing for the heroine, there's petty Other Woman drama with someone who has been in love with one of the vikings for years, there's an annoying amount of Christian vs. pagan commentary that just feels shallow and perfunctory, rather than actually historically accurate or actually causing any issues for the characters. The writing was also nothing to write home about -- dull and very tell with no show at all, littered with a ridiculous number of exclamation marks, and somehow, despite this being an incredibly short story full of useless filler, it feels like it just keeps dragging on and on and on. Ohhhh, and don't even get me started on the sex scenes. Cringiest scenes I've ever forced myself to read. Just genuinely awful.
I have a thing against DNF'ing books if it can be at all avoided, but -- Dear God! -- did I want to DNF this countless times. Oh, well. I'll settle for trying to scrub this from my memory and never having to think about it again.
Save yourself. Don't you dare pick this book up, even on sale.
OMG! So good! This book places two Viking warriors in the path of one runaway maiden who tries to escape a forced marriage with her 9 year old cousin. Leif and brother Hjalmar are determined to have Eadyth for their own, one way or another. She agrees to marry one of the brothers, if they will re-take her Manor from her uncle, the usurper, and leave her people unharmed.
The characters are so well-written and it is so hard not to root for one brother over the other. Eadyth is a fantastic character. Although, she is afraid of the brawny North men, she bravely stands up to them. Definitely not a whiner! Loved her character.
The storyline is great, and so were all the romancy little bits. This is definitely a book for those icy cold winter nights---and/or days!
This was a spicy book. If you didn’t like Vikingns before, this book tries to sway you the other direction. These brothers try to court and woo a lady and become heir to a piece of land. The lady is running from a crooked uncle who wants her to marry her 9 year old cousin. While the brothers want the land, they both want the lady too. And good grief do they work for her. 🥵
A very well written and spicey adventure set in the late first millennium. Eadyth is torn between the affections of two Viking brothers who are instantly smitten by her beauty and intelligence. Which will earn her love and devotion? The stable yet fierce warrior whose kisses heat her heart, or the clever and willful adventurer whose smiles and green eyes make her yearn for the excitement and mystery of the unknown?
A Saxon highborn woman has agreed to marry a Viking warrior in order to save her family's estate. Question is, which Viking brother will she choose? Having both men court her and teach her how to please them sexually is so much fun. But when it comes time to make a choice, can she choose without breaking her heart or theirs in two.
Yes of course this is very saucy ( the clue is in the title) but actually it's a very well written enjoyable story. The heroines uncle tries to steal her birthright via a forced marriage to his son and when she escapes she is captured by raising Norsemen. Very enjoyable !
Straight erotic romances are my (not-so) guilty pleasure, especially ones with kilt-flopping Scotsmen and fur-donned Vikings. I'm late to the MMF threeway subgenre, but totally dug this horn-fest. Two hung muscled Viking brothers going at a gal in repeated sex scenes? Woot! The writing is a fun balance of the witty, serious, and sexual.
This was a surprisingly sweet story. Very much a romance with villains and Vikings and all the good stuff. Love scenes that are hot enough to make you blush! And a happy ending.
OMG I laughed and cried so much reading this awesome book. I just wish it didn't have to come to the end ! Thanks Lily for writing this wonderful story . So hot lol can't wait to read more stories from an awesome Author !
Omgod please tell me there will be a follow on book to this....not what I expected at all. But a very well put together book, with a great plot with twists and turns all the way through. I read this in one sitting as I couldn't put it down, I found myself willing the characters on more than once. Please do a follow on book as I'd love to see how parenthood treats them and how life is with Leif on his travels. You left us on a hanger there.

Claimed By The Viking Warriors was my first book by Lily Reynard. I never expect much when I download free books from newsletter or Amazon's free section, but this book was a great surprise. Claimed By The Viking Warriors is well written. I loved the well developed characters in this book. Ms Reynard has added plenty of drama, action and smokin' hot sex to keep the pages turning. I enjoyed Claimed By The Viking Warriors and would gladly read more from Lily Reynard in the future. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
I picked this book because the blurb sounded interesting, not really expecting much because of the cover and the fact that I had not read any book from this author, but I'm glad I did. Strong heroine that pretty much keeps a level head, steamy scenes thanks to the hot suitors and plenty of drama courtesy of greedy relatives. I had to suspend my disbelief a little with the ending (which was satisfying) because of the moral attitudes of the period this is supposedly going on, but other than that it was good and I'd probably pick up another of the author's books in the future.
