Book Review: Steinar by Mary Morgan

What a gorgeous romantic adventure! Inga and Steinar are both strong, fierce, powerful characters, enemies, too. While they are drawn to each other immediately, their feelings unfold subtly at first, almost as natural and irrepressible as breathing. But it doesn’t take long for the force of their passion to rival that of the sea.

With the Wolves of Clan Sutherland, Mary Morgan has conquered another facet of medieval history and lore – the Vikings and Norse gods. She spares nothing, describing both ship and isle so distinctly you can smell the sea, feel the barrenness of the land, and dread the wrath of the gods.

The characters are all strongly drawn. Several favorites from previous books in the series make an appearance or two (hint: swoon). There are twists and turns as the plot surges forward. I held my breath through half the book! The other half was spent sighing over some of the most beautiful love scenes I’ve ever read.

As ever, Mary Morgan masterfully sweeps the reader away, back through the mists of time and history, to a place where love, honor, and selflessness prevail despite harsh circumstances and the cruelties of life. Many thanks to the author for this brilliant escape.
