Ragnar: a Viking Warrior Romance (Viking Surrender Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 274 ratings

Intrigued by the symbol on his blade, Myrna chooses Ragnar for her husband. But how is she to love a man who lives in the past? Determined to remain faithful to his deceased wife, Ragnar both fights and craves Myrna, hungry for her healing touch. Will he give in and find sanctuary in her arms? Or will the shocking truth about his dagger end love before it begins?

A horde of battle-hardened, ferocious Nordic warriors.
A Pictish village at the mercy of its enemies.
A harrowing bargain struck for nine fearful and reluctant brides.

Delivered into Viking hands, claimed and conquered, each bride must accept that she belongs to her new master. But, as wedding nights bring surrender to duty, will fierce lovers also surrender their hearts?

The Highland wilderness is savage, life is perilous, and the future uncertain, but each Viking has sworn protection, and there are no lengths to which a man will not go to safeguard the woman he loves.

Begin the journey here...

Enter a world of suspense, seduction, and adventure, told against the forbidding backdrop of medieval Scotland. Journey together with indomitable heroes and intrepid heroines, as they discover that the raging storms of fear and passion can transform into enduring devotion.

'Ragnar' is one of nine powerfully seductive romances in the 'Viking Surrender' series.
Please Note: Though Ragnar is super-steamy, it contains no elements of 'punishment' or 'backdoor' play.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"There's emotion. There's personality. There's backstory. There's a touching and honest exploration of what it might feel like to try and move forward after the death of a loved one." ~Goodreads

"Loved Ragnar and Myrna's story. Two people who lost love, resisted love, and then found love with each other. The twist was fascinating in this one. This is my first Sky Purington story and won't be my last." ~Amazon Customer

"Ms. Purington really understands D/s as it's meant to be: Though Ragnar is dominant in bed, at no time does he look upon Myrna as less than." ~Goodreads

"A good story about letting go of the past, honoring those that have been lost and living life to its fullest potential." ~Goodreads

"I found the unusual, bittersweet backstory interesting...it added an extra layer of tenderness to what was, in some ways, a second-chance romance. 5 stars." ~Goodreads

"The emotional healing that happens in this story is as remarkable as the tending to physical wounds." ~Goodreads

"When these twocome together, each with a past they've vowed to keep alive, it absolutely drew me in, brought their heat, and then melted my heart." ~Goodreads

"This is a romantic, bittersweet story, well-written with a unique plot." ~Goodreads

"Loved how the storyline flowed, the chemistry heated up and how Ragnar and Myrna found a HEA."~Goodreads

    Myrna's village is attacked by Vikings. To avoid bloodshed the village leader agrees to have several woman marry Vikings. Myrna is a young widow without children. She still loves her deceased husband. She chooses Ragnar because she thinks he'll be a brutal husband and she wants to save the other women from him. Ragnar still loves his deceased wife and promised her she would be his only love before she died. He's angry about getting married and doesn't like healers because one wasn't able to save his wife. Myrna is the village's healer.

    They need to help each other in order to be happy. This is part of a series but could be read as a standalone. No cliffhanger for Ragnar and Myrna.

    In this story from the Vikings Anthology, we see Ragnar and Myrna wed. Ragnar is a mean, scowling Viking who lost his beloved wife because a healer couldn’t save her. He has vowed never to love again. Right away, Myrna has two strikes against her. She is a healer who Ragnar will never trust and a woman who Ragnar will never love. Myrna has also lost the love of her life, who she still speaks with as if he were still there. Ragnar however is drawn to her beauty, strength and healing ability and against all reason finds himself falling in love with Myrna. Myrna is attracted to him also and does not understand his anger toward her. The key to whether they can admit their love to each other lies in the Pict dagger that Ragnar carries and which draws Myrna to him. Can they finally open that lock to love? This is a romantic, bittersweet story, well-written with a unique plot. Great job!

    First full book was better, the story making more sense. This author seemed to not only borrow a lot from the first book to fill space, but also rushed their stories. Worth the read though.
