Intensely loyal, Ivar is prepared to do everything to see their victory through\u2014except taking a Breton wife. Nevertheless, Lady Emma of Quimper fascinates him more than any woman he\u2019s ever known. Although her highborn status protects her from bondage, Ivar vows to claim her as his own.<\/p>\n<p>Lady Emma of Quimper is determined to defend her home as fiercely as any knight, until she opens the gates to save an old friend from the clutches of the Vikings. But her trust has been misplaced, and she finds herself at the mercy of a bloodthirsty heathen\u2014Ivar the Red. Pride keeps Emma from fully surrendering to the conquering lord of Quimper, even when she realizes he\u2019s not quite the devil she imagined.<\/p>\n<p>Ivar has always enjoyed a challenge, especially one from a beautiful Amazon with the heart of a warrior. Though she defies him at every turn, Ivar deals gently with Emma\u2014until she betrays his trust and escapes. Refusing to be made a fool, Ivar sets out to recover his captive who is determined to return to Quimper at the head of an army. When Ivar finds her in the clutches of death, he suddenly realizes she matters far more than his injured pride and sexual desire. He will do anything to save her and give up everything to make her his.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6166\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png?resize=113%2C51\" alt=\"TBR\" width=\"113\" height=\"51\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/28320520-ivar-the-red?ac=1&amp;from_search=true\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6156\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png?resize=158%2C45\" alt=\"Buy Links\" width=\"158\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/World-Wolfe-Pack-Novella-Brittany-ebook\/dp\/B01LMHIC5E\/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1473290234&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=ivar+the+red\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6154\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png?resize=230%2C50\" alt=\"angies review\" width=\"230\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I received this book from the author for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p>Before you even begin to read Ivar and fall in lust\u2026er\u2026.love with him you MUST read book 1in the series.\u00a0 If not, there are parts of the story you will not understand but besides that, why would you skip out on a hot Viking story???<\/p>\n<p>SO Ivar is feeling caged.\u00a0 He is confused by his brothers need to wed the duchess when he can just take and claim.\u00a0 Ivar doesn\u2019t seem to think any woman will be able to tame his heart\u2026.but he hasn\u2019t met feisty, stubborn, heard-headed Lady Emma yet!!<\/p>\n<p>Lady Emma is not thrilled with her father going behind her back to betroth her to a beast of a man all to secure his lands from a Viking attack.\u00a0 When the Vikings DO attack and kill her father, Emma is left to treaty with them. She is stunned that the duchess is actually talking about them kindly\u2026how can that be?\u00a0 They are beasts for sure.<\/p>\n<p>The chemistry and the banter between the two is great.\u00a0 Ivar wants to teach Emma a lesson for humiliating him but at the same time the thought of pushing her off on another burns his soul.\u00a0 Emma wants to hate the Viking but the more she gets to know him and his lineage, the more her heart warms to him.<\/p>\n<p>I am a huge fan of historical and this book made my heart so happy.\u00a0 I loved how this story overlapped the first book and can\u2019t wait for book 3.\u00a0 The last Viking brother needs a HEA too right????<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6153\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png?resize=231%2C55\" alt=\"about the author\" width=\"231\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Victoria Vane is a selling author of of smart and sexy contemporary romance and an award-winning author of historical romance.
