Brothers of the Wild North Sea

De: Harper Fox

Narrado por: Hamish Long

This is the FoxTales edition of the book previously published by Samhain Publishing.

Other than the cover art and description, the book is the same.

Hundreds of years ago, on a wild sea coast, two bold-hearted men met in combat and love...This is the story of Caius, a Christian monk struggling to reconcile his sensual nature with his newfound faith, and of Fenrir, a ferocious Viking raider abandoned by his comrades and left for dead. When Caius takes pity on the wounded man, his brethren are horrified: what kind of wolf has Cai brought into the fold?

But only when Cai and Fen join forces can the monastery of Fara be saved from the raiders from the east. And Fara holds a secret worth guarding, a legendary amulet with the power to bind even the might of the Vikings. Fen, his heart divided between old loyalties and a new love, must make a decision which could shatter his own heart and Cai's into the bargain.

Will there ever be peace and a future for these brothers of the wild North Sea?

The best so far

I have now read four of Harper Fox's books and this was the best by far, although I enjoyed all of them. Hamish Long's narration was so well done, I would give it a 10. A great piece of historical fiction, well researched, a wonderful love storyline, all that is needed in a great read. Highly recommended.

Such a Pleasure to Listen to

I had a bit of trepidation starting this book based on the plot but I was incredibly surprised at how caught up in the plot and the characters I became. The world that Fox builds is believable [I think historically accurate] , moving and compelling. Death, destruction, great sex and all the things a historical novel like this needs. This genre [as I've experience certainly not extensive] doesn't allow for very much variety in the roles that characters play. Someone is the top. Someone is the bottom. It seems a bit "old school" to me sometimes but that's a minor quibble.

I could not tear myself away from this one

This is by far one of the most well written, engaging stories ever told and beautifully performed. I have discovered a new favourite author 😃

stunning

oh wow, that was such a good book.Fox is my favorite author, and this is one of her best

very well performed.

very well performed. the characters are likable and believable. the intimacy is love making at its best

PLEASE READ - I’m. Absolutely. Stunned.

If you don’t love, love then keep it moving. If you have issues with sex or gays, keep your Karen comments to yourself and kick rocks.

But if you love all the above then……

Beautiful. Stunning. Full of pure adoration and trust. This is absolute my favorite story of harper fox BY FAR!!

I love the subtle topics of what we still face today being woven into every thread of this story. But most of all I absolutely adore that this book is set in the way way back era where “religion” first started. I don’t love it because of the religion, but for its truth of how things have changed and the subtle retelling of what’s “conviene” for the teller. And what we fear most as humans is the unknown.

I am not a believer in religion by any means but I adore this telling of “god” and one’s belief and faith in one’s self.

But MOST of all; I love that this story is centered around two men who come together in love and faith and find a way to lead with grace and humility. They over come the toxic male perspective of what love should look like and I’m stunned so much that I wish I could read for the first time again.

B R A V O - Hamish Long!!! Freaking bravo to you!!

Story telling and world building

As a person rediscovering reading I loved the detail of the world the author crafts! It was easy to imagine each scene and the character building made me care about the characters. I found myself looking forward to finding out what happens next. GREAT listen!

Beautiful

Don't mind me I am just sobbing over this book and how beautiful it is.

History, Magic, and Romance

Fox has a unique talent for bringing the past to life, and this story set during the Viking age is no exception. There is a blend of the fantastic, the real, and some well written love scenes between our two central characters. This was an enjoyable listen and I highly recommend it to any fans of M/M romances set in the non-recent past.

A middle-aged romance between two men

Great story. In the story you have monks, vikings, expatriate Roman's. The story follows the life of a young man who is the son of an expatriate Roman. There are Viking raids and sword fights. The learning of science and exploring man on man love. The main character is caring, resilient and intelligent.
