Brothers of the Wild North Sea by Harper Fox
5.0
Thank you Disorganized Bibliophile for one of the best books I've read.
5 Stars
This is how you do an enemies to lovers story properly.
After suffering a brutal attack on the monastery he lives in, Caius a celt and Christian Monk teaches his fellow brethren how to fight and protect themselves from the raiding vikings. After another brutal raid Caius finds viking wounded on the shore and his compassion takes over and he brings Fen back to the monastery to treat his wounds. What comes next is a fantastic tale which shows the growth of the two main characters from mortal enemies to lovers and then on to leaders regardless of how much they don't want to be (Caius).
The growth is not only from the main characters. The brothers at the monastery go from hating Fen and refusing to have anything to do with him, to slowly getting to know him and then accepting him as just brother Fen. Caius' father learns to communicate with this his first born. All of the secondary characters are well presented and each have their own personality, making it easy to care about them.
I can't wait to sit back and reread this one, maybe even give it a go on audio as friends have recommended the audible version
