I’m so pleased to be on the blog tour and share my review for A Nun for the Viking Warrior by Lucy Morris. This is a wonderful historical romance with great characters and messages!
Amée is dynamic protagoinst. She is smart and brave, and even though she hasn’t had the best life, she remains hopeful. I love her fighting spirit and how she never gives up. Amée knows that she can be used as a pawn, and she does everything in her power to maintain some autonomy. She wants to be in charge of her life and not have to bow to the whims of a man, especially a man like her father, who has never made her feel accepted and loved. Much like Jorund, Amée wants to find a purpose, and she longs to find a place where she belongs.
Jorund is eager for a life change. After years as a warrior, he hopes to settle down, marry, raise children, and live in peace. He wants to live an honorable life, but his past haunts him. However, like Amée, Jorund is a fighter. He is not one to give up, especially on his dreams and future. I love how insightful and perceptive he is and how hard he tries to make his dreams a reality.
The romance between Amée and Jorund is wonderful. Complete strangers from different cultures, this pair has a lot to learn about each other, which proves difficult at times. However, even though they are very different, they also have a lot in common. They are caring and compassionate leaders who are searching for purpose, and they each have complicated and toxic fathers who have detrimentally affected their feelings of worth. I like how this couple slowly grows closer and learns to trust each other and how they teach each other about love, acceptance, and hope. Sometimes sweet, sometimes steamy, and always filled with chemistry, their love story is well-paced and developed.
I think this is a great story for readers who like historical romances with well-developed characters, great messages about love and starting over, and a wonderful love story. Thanks so much to Rachel’s Random Resources and Lucy Morris for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this and like the characters and the navigation of consent. I’m just feeling bored and having trouble focusing to read it, so setting it aside. Possibility I’ll come back to it, but for now I’m letting myself let it go.

Another new to me author and this was pretty okay to me. I think I've read the same storyline before. The author left the misunderstandings and the secrets to unravel right until the end. I'm not a fan of the misunderstanding trope so I found it tedious to read.
Steam factor: Mid range. Not very explicit. Pretty standard for a Harlequin Historical.

This wasn't terrible, but it could have been so much better!
And certain plot points were annoying as hell!

Didn't know I needed a viking and nun romance but I did. The epilogue and the modern language kind of ruined it for me though....
