Viking's Desire

Called by a Viking, Book 1

De: Mariah Stone

Narrado por: Tim Campbell, Marian Hussey

A captive time traveler. A Viking jarl on a mission. Will marriage be the price of her freedom?

Searching for her roots, American CEO Holly visits Scotland. An ancient ash isn't the kind of family tree she had in mind. But when she touches a golden spindle carved into its rough bark, she is sucked through time to the ninth century—and captured in a Viking raid.

Warrior Einar Birgirsson rescues the beautiful stranger. But to claim his place as jarl, he must rid the Orkney Islands of outlaws and take a wife within two moons. He will set her free—if she agrees to marry him.

Still devastated by his previous wife's death in childbirth, Einar vows to be a husband in name only. But he can't keep the sharp-witted temptress out of his bed—or his heart—for long.

Holly knows she should leave when she has the chance, but she finally feels the belonging she craves with the gorgeous Viking jarl and his sweet daughter.

When a surprise pregnancy reignites Einar's fear, will he send Holly back to her own time or risk his heart to keep her?

Enjoyable

Enjoyable read. Fairly predictable, but a nice Viking time travel story, which is exactly what I was looking for.

The narration is dual. Tim Campbell had a great accent, and Marian Hussey did a great job voicing the FMC. Her male voice and his female voice did leave a bit to be desired though. If it had been done in duet narration I think it would have been perfect!

I love Timothy Campbell!

The female narrator sounded too close to Steve Erkel. The story was good, but I won’t listen to the rest of the series because her.

Time travel to the Viking era

Enjoyable story of a woman wanting a child and not able to get pregnant even through artificial means. She goes back in time with the help of a woman, who told her she would marry the man she loves and will have his children. The man she falls in love with is afraid of getting a woman pregnant because his previous wife died in childbirth. Good story with great characters and narrative.

What a surprise- great story

At first I thought this was a copy of Outlander…. But it took a turn which was an interesting twist. The only issue I had with the performance was the narrative by the male was mostly a queens English speaking male- where the actual protagonist voice fit more the character. That said I plan to listen to book #2

Vikings desire

I liked the entire book, great characters and very good storytelling! I cannot wait to read the entire series.
