Loki's Daughters

De: Delle Jacobs

Narrado por: Sarah Coomes

For generations, Arienh’s people have feared the Viking raids. She knows all too well the terrible toll the Northmen have taken on the Celts, having lost most of her own family to their swords. So one stormy night when she encounters and wounds a Viking warrior, she has every right to want him dead. And yet she hesitates….

Ronan knows Arienh doesn’t recognize him. He was just a boy when his kinsmen raided her village and Ronan risked his own life to protect her. Now he has returned to claim the beautiful girl who captured his heart years before. But wooing a Celtic woman is no easy task. And no one has a heart more guarded than Arienh, who has sacrificed her own happiness for the good of her village. She and Ronan are unlikely lovers, forged in dangerously opposite worlds - yet bound together by strength, sacrifice, and an undeniable passion.

Very Enjoyable!

Delle Jacobs is a new author for me, I will definitely be downloading more from her.
Sarah Coomes narration was very good.
The book was not just about two characters but really touched on many of the Celt villagers and Vikings.
Got this book on sale but would spend a credit on another book from this author.

WOW... WOW!!!

Sarah Coomes is exceptional narrator. Her rich accent so perfect, keeps me riveting till the end of the story. Two thumbs up for the author, I am glad choose this one. I am ready for other of Delle's work

Fun listen

What did you love best about Loki's Daughters?

This was an easy, entertaining listen. The reader is very, shall we say, enthusiastic, and keeps the somewhat predictable story moving. Pretty standard romance, but very well-written, with some interesting historical detail thrown in.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Loki's Daughters?

Jacobs writes a pretty evocative sex scene :)

What does Sarah Coomes bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She's a terrific reader and can switch seamlessly from British to Scandinavian accents very convincingly. Listening was far more enjoyable than reading.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Lots of sighing.

Northman, not Viking

I was in the mood for a good love story, but with that, some times you get a story that frustrates you because the main characters don't communicate the one thing that is keeping them apart. This story certainly fit that bill. Ronan has loved Arienh for 10 years without her knowing it, and she has waited for his return for 10 years. When he does come back, she doesn't recognize him and even if she did, she won't get her HEA, because of a secret she is guarding and the fact he is a Viking. (He keeps insisting he's not a Viking, but a Northman, and there is a difference) It gets frustrating at times, but I listened on and did enjoy the book, knowing that this was one of those typical love stories and all would end well.

Fluff

What did you like best about Loki's Daughters? What did you like least?

No thinking was required for this book at all.

Any additional comments?

The narrator was trying too hard. A native would cry at her accent.
