#BookReview: “Graeme” by Gianna Simone

Blurb

Maimed and bitter, Graeme is forced to take a wife from the barbarians invading his shores. Resentful of her invading his solitary life, he vows to bend her to his will.

Rinda grudgingly weds a man she barely knows—who hates her nearly as much as she despises him. Yet, despite their shared animosity, the wounded warrior and shield-maiden share an unexpected passion that soon consumes them both.

Review

In book three in the multi-author Vikings Surrender series, Rinda is the only female Viking among her fellow warriors. She is respected and no one questions her strength. After her brother and jarl, Brandr, makes a deal with the Pictish village of Achnaryrie, she must marry one of the last surviving men from the village.

Graeme was injured in battle and can no longer defend his home and people. The last thing he wants is Rinda as his wife, but he’s determined to tame her and prove he’s man enough to handle a warrior woman.

I couldn’t connect with either Rinda or Graeme. She submitted to his dominance and seduction every time, and never backed up her strong words with actions. I typically like BDSM stories, but he was far too overbearing.
