Monk: Captured by Temptation (Tales of Freya) by Sarah Dahl

I like to mix it up a bit occasionally, and I 'm not averse to a little bit of romance and erotica! I will shortly be reviewing Tower: Unchained by Love, the latest in the Tales of Freya Set from Sarah Dahl. So I thought I'd share a couple of mini reviews of other stories in the series, starting with this one.

The Blurb:

“The Last Kingdom meets 50 Shades of Grey” (Matty W)
“Like an espresso shot of hot Viking erotic-ness” (Diane D)

Captured monk Alistair is taken to a Viking farm as a slave. In the dead of night, he is disturbed by his new masters' carnal reunion. The monk turns to fervent prayer, but soon he is interrupted by his alluring pagan mistress: Runa challenges him to break his vows …

Part of the Tales of Freya series of short stories, set in the Viking era, this is a stand-alone, adult read with a HEA.

My Review:

Well, I'm slightly flushed!

This is a short story set in the time of the Vikings. Alistair, an enslaved monk, is tempted in the ways of the flesh by his new mistress and master. To say anymore would spoil it! The story was evocative, intimate and sensual. My only real complaint is that it was too short - it took me just 15 minutes to read.

But I certainly enjoyed it. It impressed me enough to download another short story (in the same series) by the same author.

You can buy Monk from Amazon UK and US.

The Author:

Sarah Dahl lives at the edge of the rural German Eifel and writes historical fiction (novels and short stories) primarily set in the Viking age. She also works as an editor, translates, and coaches new writers in German and English. She is interested in everyday life in bygone centuries and the human stories that may have occurred behind the hard, historical facts.
