Norseman's Salvation
Can She Survive His Cruelty - And Save His Tortured Soul?
Jolinn Gallarsdottir has trained hard to become a fierce shield-maiden. Hoping to impress Brosa Sorensson with her skills, she seduces him when he is vulnerable, in an attempt to win his heart as well.
Wracked with guilt over his failure to save his men, Brosa has spent many months attempting to restore his honor and once more gain the blessings of the gods. The goal is pushed further out of his reach when he beds Jolinn, tarnishing his reputation further. He vows never to let it happen again, though he cannot escape his thoughts of a dark-haired temptress with a sexual appetite to match his own.
When Jolinn's request to go raiding with the men is rejected, she stows away, disobeying her father's orders. As punishment, she is given to Brosa as his slave. Vowing to prove her worth as a warrior and his equal, she defies him at every chance.
Determined to dominate Jolinn and bend her to his will, Brosa soon finds himself enjoying her fire and their battles lead to more passion. But when the gods ask him to make the ultimate sacrifice, will everything between them be destroyed?
Contains A Kinky Twist on History! love scenes, including bondage, spanking and more!

About the author
Gianna Simone
21 books165 followersI'm a proud born-and-bred Jersey Girl with Brooklyn roots. And I still live where it all started - I married my very own alpha male many eons ago, and have an amazing and beautiful daughter, and a teenage hockey-playing son (who charms and frustrates me at every turn). Free time is always a luxury and I spend the bulk of what time I manage to scrounge up lost in the worlds of my own making. I love to read and write hot, sexy and emotional stories about people both glamorous and not-so-glamorous. Be warned - some of my characters can even be downright un-heroic at times, which is part of what makes them so interestingly sexy, in my opinion!
On the rare occasions I'm not taking advantage of that valuable free time by writing, you can catch me poking around in my other favorite twisted historical worlds of the History Channel's Vikings, Sleepy Hollow, Knightfall and even Reign, even though those are either already over, or coming to an end (Yay for DVD's and streaming!) I'm also a huge fan of Harry Potter, Highlander, Charmed (the original), and DragonBall Z! Yeah, a strange fandom medley, but each one features some of the sexiest villains ever. Did I mention I love villains? And of course, let's not forget my beloved NY Rangers.

Review: This is what historical romance fiction should be - hot and steamy!! This is the first book of Gianna Simone's I have read and wow do I want more. I read Norseman's Salvation without having read the first two books and with the exception of the first few pages, it reads fine as a standalone. When Simone says "contains a kinky twist on history" she delivers! So have you gathered - I LOVED Norseman's Salvation!
Brosa is a hot and broody Viking and Jolinn has loved him since she was a child. She has worked to become a Shield Maiden to impress him and for him to see her worthy of him. Brosa has never seen Jolinn other than as a child, but quickly sees she is more than that. He, however, is a wreck with overwhelming guilt over losing his warriors in a recent battle (taking place in another book).
Brosa and Jolinn are hot, hot, hot. The book does a great job weaving the historical context while giving a great romp in the furs! Simone takes the idea of dominance that is a great twist and completely in historical context.
If you like your historical romance fiction hot and steamy - Norseman's Salvation is your summer read!

Didn’t Care For The Ending!
Well this was frustrating. To read this and it end the way it did. Idk I guess since Brosa defied the gods and Jolinn lived that was the way to end it. Nah I would have liked to have seen them go home, her be pregnant and who knows what else. 2 more stories to go. 💜💜💜💜
