First line/s: "Kneeling in a muddy trench in the middle of an archaeological dig might be considered a dirty and boring job by some, but it was just what Linnea Berger needed right now."
My comments: Ninth Century Vikings! This is the story of a six-month expedition from Sweden through the rivers of eastern Europe to current-day Istanbul on two Viking ships/long boats in the late 800s. Linnea, fluent in ancient Norse (how convenient!), after being transported to the past, is found by Hrafn and claimed as his slave/thrall. HEA and fun read with all the usual guaranteed fixtures in a romance - complete with antagonist and huge misunderstanding near the end, lol. Quite clean, just one place not-quite-so.
Goodreads synopsis: From the author of Echoes of the Runes comes a thrilling new timeslip novel, filled with adventure and romance, perfect for fans of Barbara Erskine, Diana Gabaldon and Vikings.
Separated by time. Brought together by fate.
Indulging her fascination for the Viking language and losing herself in an archaeological dig is just what Linnea Berger needs after her recent trauma. Uncovering an exquisite brooch, she blacks out reading the runic inscription, only to come to, surrounded by men in Viking costume, who seem to take re-enactment very seriously.
Lost and confused, Linnea finds herself in the power of Hrafn, a Viking warrior who claims her as his thrall and takes her on a treacherous journey across the seas to sell her for profit. Setting sail, she confronts the unthinkable: she has travelled back to the ninth century.
Linnea is determined to find a way back to her own time, but there's a connection forming with Hrafn that she can't shake. Underneath his hard exterior, he is brave, clever and caring―not to mention attractive. Can she resist the call of the runes and accept her destiny lies here with Hrafn?
