Story
Though Honora Tannach came of age amid the misty moors of the Scottish highlands, where warring clans battled to the death for the future of their wild land, nothing frightens her so much as a lifetime trapped in the castle of her cruel stepfather. She is thrilled when a marriage is arranged to the son of a Scottish laird...until her betrothed is revealed to be Cavan Sinclare. Though the savage warrior once saved her life, Honora knows no one can tame the heart of such a brute, no matter now finely chiseled his features or how enticing his eyes...

Nearly killed while trying to win back his ancestral home, Black Richard MacCullough is left scarred and mangled; but some scars run far deeper than mere skin. No longer the handsome devil or kind man of his youth, now he focuses solely on rebuilding everything that was lost to the brutal Chisolms and traitorous MacRays. Revenge - while not nearly as important as keeping his clan from starving - is the only thing that keeps his bruised heart beating.

Lord Nathaniel Harte, the disagreeable duke of Beswick, spends his days smashing porcelain, antagonizing his servants, and snarling at anyone who gets too close. With a ruined face like his, it's hard to like much about the world - especially smart-mouthed harpies (with lips better suited to kissing than speaking) who brave his castle with indecent proposals. But Lady Astrid Everleigh will stop at nothing to see her younger sister safe from a notorious scoundrel, even if it means offering herself up on a silver platter to the forbidding Beast of Beswick himself.

Stolen by marauding Danes, Helena's desperate to escape their camp. She wants to return home, but the wolf-eyed Viking who bought her has his own plans.

Even worse, the fair maid lures him with laughter and smiles. Betrayal has left the warrior cold to other women, but one hot summer changes everything. Hakan's icy heart thaws to his clever thrall. Helena weaves happiness into his hard life, and she soon questions her own desires. But shadows of deceit spread across the kingdom, reaching Hakan's farm.

Loved it!
Helena was captured by the Danes and sold as a slave to a Norseman Chieftain named Hakan. She was a feisty clever woman and thought he couldn't speak Frankish, so she insulted him in her own language. She was a challenge to him and soon melted his heart. This is a sweet story well written with interesting historical detail. When I closed my eyes to listen to the great narration, I was transported right there with them at every level. They both had strength, honor and thought of others above their own comfort. I loved this heart warming story.

Viking love
It's been a while since I read a Viking story and my first time listening to one. I am glad I did, it is a pleasure to listen to Mr. Wright's voice, the various characters' voices, emotions are well portrayed. I loved Hakan, a Viking warrior with a gentle heart. He saves Helena by buying her from the Danes, but she is set on returning home. She gets her wish, but once there, she wants Hakan. She is portrayed as a smart, strong woman throughout the story, but with this change of heart at the last minute after putting Hakan thru all that heartbreak, I am not sure she deserves him. But she makes Hakan happy, so there is a HEA for them. The author painted a good image of the life in that era.

First in a planned trilogy!!!!
If you could sum up Norse Jewel in three words, what would they be?
Heart-warming Viking Romance!
What other book might you compare Norse Jewel to and why?
I've loved Viking romances since I read Kathleen Woodiwiss' THE WOLF AND THE DOVE many years ago. I found NORSE JEWEL to be an heart-warming Viking love story in a fascinating historical setting. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys Viking romances.
Which scene was your favorite?
My favorite scene took place in a barn... I don't want to post a spoiler but suffice it to say that all's well that ends well.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I wish I could have! I know I put in more exercise time than normal walking our local bridge as I needed to listen to more of Hakan's and Helena's story!
Any additional comments?
This book was narrated by Braden Wright and his voice was the perfect choice for this tale. His accent was swoon-worthy when he voiced the male characters. He also did an awesome job with the female voices. This is the first book I've listened to that he's narrated, but I was solidly impressed and would not hesitate to pick up another book which he as narrated.

unsatisfying ending it has a cliffhanger
I actually liked the book even though I thought Helena was a special kind of stupid for wanting to go back home to her betrothed. ESPECIALLY since he didn't do anything to safeguard her when the town was invaded or try to rescue her when he realized she was taken.And ESPECIALLY WHEN Hacan did nothing but treat her with respect and kindness. Hacan was actually pretty damn sexy but I wished we got into his head a bit more other than him lamenting over his shrew of an ex-wife.
The reason I'm giving this 2 stars is because this book ends with absolutely ZERO resolution to the conflict in the story. The king, the kings son, his best friend, his scheming baby mama's boyfriend, the berzerkers, the unrest in the land, the death of his parents, the safety of his farm and sister's farm. SERIOUSLY!!! NONE OF THIS WAS ADDRESSED BEFORE THE BOOK ENDED. This book was written 2 yrs ago and I can't find any whispers of book 2. That sucks!!
story could have been a 3.5 if it actually finished.
narrator - 3 I really enjoyed his performance.

Nice historical romance.
I really enjoyed this story. I liked how the heroine kept to her guns on wanting to be a wife. I wish the ending was so cut short. I am looking forward to the next book and hope Hakan’s 2nd/best friend isn't the bad guy afterall.
