Ari and Vidar are Viking warriors and blood brothers. Will handsome thrall Elric break their bond…or make it even stronger?
When young Saxon Elric is sold to Norse slave traders, he thinks that his life is over. He is brought across the sea to the settlement of the Norsemen and becomes the chief’s thrall, and neither the chief nor the warriors are lenient with him. Two of the warriors are different, though—Ari and Vidar. Elric senses that their bond goes beyond mere friendship, and wishes that he himself had someone who would care for him.
Ari and Vidar have been lovers for years, but they have to sneak away whenever they want to be together. Vidar is next in line to be leader, as the chief’s nephew, but he’s shy and insecure and only feels at home on the battlefield. Ari looks different than the other warriors, since his mother was of foreign descent, and he’s had to learn how to stand up for himself.
The two of them are blood brothers, linked together forever, but even though they are lovers they can’t go against the taboo that prohibits free men from being passive during sex. Ari feels that something is lacking, and Elric’s arrival gives him an idea—what if they invited Elric to join them in bed? The thought excites him, and Elric himself seems eager to please.
The only question is how Ari is supposed to get Vidar to agree to letting another man into their relationship…
REVIEW:
This story glued me onto the pages, I shouldn’t have started this one in the evening, bye sleep! I couldn’t put it down!
The scenery was awesomely written. Imagine rough Viking warriors, a hierarchy where you have the right to kill and finished someone with a sword. Vikings are known for thralldom. On their raids, they kidnapped and enslaved people. Elric is one of them.
Elric is furious when he got sold to the slave traders. Bought by Norsemen, and now their chief takes him home to be a thrall.
The warriors are hard for him except for two, Ari and Vidar.
Ari and Vidar are blood brothers, and above all lovers, which is almost impossible, it isn’t allowed. Watching the two men stirs something in Elric, something he felt all his life.
Ari is gentle and quite softhearted, Vidar is, even though big and strong and the chief’s nephew, quite insecure, they have to be careful about their sexuality, no one can know.
And now there’s a beautiful thrall and Ari can’t take his eyes off the boy.
After Ari puts some thoughts in Vidar’s head, Vidar can’t stop thinking about the three of them, Elric could be the solution to what they want.
The characters are beautifully pictured, with their very own recognizance characteristics.
When I put the cruelty of the era and the roughness beside, what’s left is an intimate, extremely hot, steamy arousing gathering of three men who want nothing more than be together. I must confess, it wasn’t as cruel as I expected and maybe even hoped for but it was way more steamy than I expected!
Holy moly what a great story, I was thrilled by the atmosphere I felt throughout this narrative, it felt all real, authentic, I was there, I could easily visualize, smell, and feel it all!
This was a great book, quite captivating, wonderfully written, with an enthralling plot.
