Story
Clever and bold, Ella Sutherland has won the right to call herself chief of her clan and struggles to hold onto the chiefdom against those who doubt a woman’s rule. When she’s captured by the darkly handsome Sinclair chief, she chooses death over wedding him and giving up her clan to their long-time enemy. For she has a secret, an oath she took years ago to protect and keep the clan seat for a great ruler to come. Cain refuses to let his brother, Death, honor Ella’s choice with an execution. He’s never before met a woman so brave and passionate.

Annabel was about to take the veil to become a nun, when her mother suddenly arrived at the abbey to take her home...so that she can marry the Scottish laird who is betrothed to her runaway sister! She knows nothing about being a wife, nothing about how to run a household, and definitely nothing about the marriage bed. From the moment Ross MacKay sets eyes on Annabel, he is taken with his shy, sweet bride...and the fact that she's blessed with lush curves only makes him utter his own prayers of thanks. But when an enemy endangers her life, he'll move the Highlands themselves to save her.

Most days, I steal from ships to earn a living. Not glamorous, admittedly, but it's honest work. Okay, fine. It isn't honest either, but it means I get to eat. Until one night, a sinfully sexy angel strides into my favorite dance hall and compels me to work for him. It isn't just work, though. He wants me to be his wife in Castle Hades. Apparently, his prophetic dreams say I'll help him become king.

Jude "Lucky" Lucketti wasn't just a sexy, brooding construction worker. He was my own personal hero, showing up in all the right places at the right times. Like when my car broke down and I needed a ride home, and when I face-planted on the sidewalk right in front of him and had to be taken to the emergency room. We became friends, and it didn't matter that he was 16 years older than me. We had a lot in common - like our love of old rock music and vintage fast cars and our aversion to relationships.

Dear Listener: Season of the Sun first appeared in 1991. Zarabeth, with hair as red as an Irish sunset, is chosen by Magnus Haraldsson, a Viking on a trading visit to York, to be his wife. She is both stunned and fascinated by this man’s bluntness, his arrogance, his absolute belief that she is meant to belong to him. He also makes her laugh and ultimately she gives him her trust, not only with her future but with that of her little sister, Lotti. But Zarabeth’s stepfather, Olav the Vain, has no intention of setting a bride price on Zarabeth.

A Viking rape romance
Viking Thunder is a short story about a brave girl whose village is terrorized by Viking invaders, but the story can’t get past its sexually violent core. This poor girl gets repeatedly raped by multiple men in the course of this short story. How can anyone fall in love with a man who repeatedly rapes her and other women around her?
Reader beware. Contains multiple graphic rape scenes.
The narrator is actually very good.
I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook. This is my honest and voluntary review.

...ends with a cliffhanger.
A quick listen. Not your Nana's bodice ripper. The behaviour and actions of the characters are germane to the time.. Elswyth is pragmatic, but other times she bordered on seeming like she was a victim of Stockholm syndrome. Sets the backstory for more, as it ends with a cliffhanger.

Prequel
3.5 stars.
Short and hot story, prequel of Viking Warriors. It’s about Elswyth’s life so far, told from her POV.
I really liked the narrator, Emma Parry.

I really like this audio
My second (short) read/listen from author Emmanuelle de Maupassant, although I own a number of her works it was the audio that enticed me to read this one since I own both the Kindle and the Audible editions. As much as I don't care for short stories, I really liked this one. It takes something special to write a short story and in this, my second read from this author it all comes together. The only way it could be better would be to expand to a longer story and since it serves as an intro to a series it works. The accent of the narrator adds to the listening enjoyment.

Very Old School Pillage - Great but beware
This story has a great performer, and it pulls you in. As a person who loves historical fiction, this was completely up my alley. However, this is a listener beware. It is a story about Viking raping and pillaging a town and the after effects of it.
On the other hand, this story was super interesting. The characters were dynamic and interesting, the storyline seems very real to me, and the whole thing just pulls you in and suddenly you have listened to the whole story without realizing its been 90 minutes! I would definitely suggest this audiobook to anyone who loves history and a sexy story!

She was looking for an escape from her life.
The British coastal townships had endured many Viking invasions, leaving women raped and men slaughtered. This recounting of one such invasion, includes the attitude of one of the women, who was a result of a raid years earlier, and whose Nordic features had always segregated her from the other woman.
I enjoyed the audio rendition of this book, which greatly enhanced my appreciation of this story.

So true to the times!
Viking Thunder is an immensely vivid and raw account of the way of life and behaviors of the original marauders known as the Vikings. Emmanuelle de Maupassant takes us back into those times, not mincing words in the descriptions of the barbaric murders, rapes and abusive men. Until you suspend the unreality of how this doesn't fit into our world, it's merely another tale of torture in the hands of the Nordic pillagers. It's true to the times and to the humanity. The story is told through the eyes of Elswyth who has the strength of character to stand up for herself, even in the presence of the Viking leader himself, Eirik. As he takes her as his own, will she be able to show him who she really is? This is a marvelous, earthy and emotional story of the inherent violence and philistine lust of the Vikings. Emma Parry does one of the best jobs of narrating I've ever heard. The timbre of her voice, its range and that accent of hers make it just about perfect!
