Paperback
Not even as close to good as the first book. It would have been a better book with 400 less pages.

Review of series:
Destiny Is All!! Penelope Neri’s Viking Trilogy are three books worthy of Uhtred. Set during the same time period as the The Last Kingdom on Netflix they combine heart stopping romance with thrilling adventure.
Sea Jewel (1986) is a true bodice ripper as the heroine Freya, who has been trained as a Viking warrior, on raid to Kent is captured by the Saxon lord, Alaric. He has her stripped, put in chains and paraded naked in the great hall in front of everyone to humiliate her. But no, she’s fiercely proud and vows revenge. He tosses her over his shoulder and 🔥. Best book of the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Has a super Pino masterpiece cover.
Enchanted (1993) is the story of Beorn, son of the MCs in the first book, and Rhiannon, a Cornish healer with a touch of magic. At 600+ pages way too long and meandering but interesting. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Love Within (1997), written 11 years after Sea Jewel feels more modern in plot and scenes. No ripped bodices… an arranged marriage between the daughter of the MCs in Sea Jewel, Edana and an Irish-Viking prince, Kerrin who takes her back to Waterford. He’s cursed and haunted by a legacy of hate and doesn’t want to love her. Great use of shape shifting in this tale! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing Viking stories, can easily be read as standalones, especially as the first and third books are the best. Neri is an exceptional scenic writer, taking you into the setting of the countryside, dwellings, ships, people, weather etc. Very atmospheric! Enjoyable escapist reads.

I had real trouble finishing this book. It went on and on....far to long. Something about this book just really bothered me. All stories are a peek into the authors mind...their hopes, fantasies, desires and just basic thought patterns. I think she needed to do more research into the time period and needed to understand what would have been happening at the time. I know one has to get into the "fantasy" aspect of a novel....but it still has to make sence. I will try and read another of her books...just to see if this was a fluck and she is better than I think. I hope she isn't one of those writers that gets paid by the "pound", rather than the storyline.

I read this book MANY years ago and I still remember many parts of it. It has been the only book to stand upon my shelf that is a torrid love story, all the rest of them have been carted off to the book dealer.

The first romance novel I ever read. I wish I could find a copy of it again.
