Tracy’s Review:

A Nun for the Viking Warrior by Lucy Morris

Tracy’s rating: 4 of 5 stars

Series: N/A

Release Date: October 26, 2021

When Amee Evreux entered St. Scholastica Nunnery she thought that she would finally get some peace, but her world is upended by the arrival of Jorund Jotunnson, a Viking warrior who has come to marry Amee as part of a treaty between King Charles and Jarl Rollo.

Despite her fears and misgivings, Jorund is a kind man and Amee finds herself drawn to him and begins considering a new life for herself. Jorund is also surprised by his immediate attraction to Amee and the more he gets to know her, the more he likes her and is convinced that he is not worthy of her. These two seem so right for each other, but past hurts and fears prevent them from truly opening up to the other, and insecurities and misassumptions keep them from sharing their growing feelings. It isn’t until Amee’s life is in jeopardy that they both realize what they stand to lose if they don’t trust the other!

This was a well-written, nicely paced novel with very likable characters and utilizes not only an underused geographical setting but a seldom-used timeline as well. The book has a little of everything, action, warm love scenes, jealousy, past hurts, insecurity, misconceptions and misassumptions, and finally a HEA complete with an epilogue. This author is new to me and while I enjoyed her writing style, I found the continued misconceptions and misassumptions to be dragged out for way too long. However, I did like the story, would recommend it, and will definitely be on the lookout for future books!
