A stunning historical romance from debut author Sandra Lake transports readers to 12th century Sweden, where a powerful Viking lord will discover a fierce heart cannot be taken by mere force.Lida was married to the love of her life for just two months when she became a widow. Pregnant and disowned by her late husband’s family for suspected infidelity, she was forced to return to her family in shame. Eight years later, uninterested in the prospect of finding another husband, she finds herself the unwilling object of a marriage contract with a powerful warlord. In a day, she is wed, bed, and put on a ship headed for Tronscar; an unknown icy stone and steel fortress.Jarl Magnus is pleased to have taken a strong wife who, however stubborn she may be, will surely produce sons. However, he is less pleased with his wife’s additional baggage—a young daughter. But despite himself, Magnus falls for the daughter just as hard as the mother, and Lida’s heart is warmed to see the cold, serious Jarl move surprisingly fast into the role of stepfather.When enemies attack Tronscar, Jarl Magnus’s nerves of steel waver, as the warrior fears his love for Lida will weaken him. But when his family is threatened, he’ll go to war to protect them, discovering along the way that they have the strength to protect themselves.“With compelling characters and a clever plot, The Warlord’s Wife will appeal to readers obsessed with TV’s Vikings, and who miss the classic Viking romances of Catherine Coulter or Johanna Lindsey.”—Heroes and Heartbreakers “Lake’s debut historical romance is sure to appeal to those who enjoy spirited heroines, grumpy alpha heroes, and a slow sweet journey to everlasting love.”—Smexy Books “Man, this was a fun book! … I cut my teeth on Johanna Lindsey, and this book reminded me so much of those experiences.”—Dear AuthorSandra Lake lives with her husband and son in Quebec, Canada.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Amazing Story By Ronda Tutt Amazing Story!What an amazing story that shows the endurance of heartache and suffrage from one tragedy to the next. My mind was blown away with the imagery I depicted from this incredible visionary story.The Viking savagery is expected you might think but not all Viking tales are the same and this one handsome Viking - Jarl Magnus - Warlord of Tronscar changes the meaning into a man of worth and honor for his time. His sacrifice and love builds his character as he falls in love with Lida.Lida is a very strong willed woman and my heart went out to her especially after losing her husband and visualizing the scenes of how her deceased husbands family treated her and disowned her. Especially when they denied her child, their own grandchild.I have to say though that Lida's attitude kind of aggravated me because she was too rebellious at times when she and Jarl first got together, however at the same time the author did an amazing thing by showing the struggle and defiance from each character and as they learned to be husband and wife as well as learning to submit to a different culture of the Viking World.I really like Jarl and could actually hear his big bear of a voice and could visualize how he looked in a brutal sexy way. His brutal actions towards his enemy were fierce but he was one big softy when it came to Lida once he figured out what made her tic.The sexual encounters were not brutal or savage but very sensual in a passionate clean way. (3 Flames)The build up to the plot of the story kept me turning the pages, I just couldn't put it down. The deceit and back stabbing of his supposedly loyal kinsmen had me reeling with anger and I was so glad when they all got what they deserved in the end.I loved the happy ever after ending and loved how Jarl and Lida's relationship grew through the story. I loved Lida's daughter and how Jarl accepted her as his own. This was just a wonderful refreshing story.I highly recommend this Historical Romance to all Viking Lovers.Excellent Read!
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Viking romance By Marta Cox I was in the mood for an historical book but didn't fancy the usual regency or even highland type romance so was quite interested when I spotted this book on Netgalley. It's the authors debut and set in the frozen north of Sweden so the idea of reading a romantic novel about Vikings piqued my interest.Lida is our heroine and she has survived very rough treatment at the hands of her late husbands family ( queue mother in law jokes here!) but eight years later she is raising her daughter Katia with the aid of her own family when Magnus a powerful Warlord decides that she's the right type of woman to make him a good wife. Now Lida is not exactly sold on the idea but the thought of raising her daughter safely with a feared Jarl to protect them sways her but she's a strong woman and demands certain concessions. Yes she will sail away as his bride and give him the offspring he wants ( but no promise of just sons obviously) but in exchange Katia will bear his name and be treated as his daughter. Magnus has little time for women and their frivolities but cannot deny the attraction he feels for his new wife and is more than happy to bed her but what he hadn't expected was to actually enjoy the company of Lida and Katia. As they begin their new life the brutish and distant Magnus finds himself wanting to understand these strange females that he has taken into his home but not everyone is pleased with the new additions and betrayal and treachery are about to bring danger to all.I have no wish to spoil the plot for other readers so will try to be informative without ruining this book for others. Magnus is a character who does not understand love and yet there are scenes with his brother that show his true nature. He has always seen women as little more than chattels and a weakness that others might exploit and yet as this story progresses he grows as a character and his transformation made this a rewarding read. Do not misunderstand he is no ogre and always treats Lida and Katia with his idea of kindness but it's fair to say he is blinkered in many respects . Lida has been truly treated abysmally and it really brought home to this reader how awful life could be . I admired her strength and yet at times she surprised me but I never doubted her commitment to those she loves. What I particularly liked about Lida was she is written as a woman with keen intellect but she is canny enough to know that sometimes you have to play the game in order to win.A lot happens as this story progresses and I've no doubt that for many little Katia will steal the show . This is more than just a romance though. Yes there are a lot of sexy scenes although I didn't find them particularly arousing if honest but it's all the shenanigans around the family that feed this story. Trouble and corruption are rife in Tronscar and jealous machinations are set to bring war to their door . I enjoyed the portrayal of the thoroughly nasty protagonist but was not quite convinced by Lidas unexpected family if truthful.So in hindsight I did enjoy this book but did not find it to be particularly sensual in spite of the bedroom activities. I would have liked to see Hok the brother of Magnus get his story told but I note that the next book is about Katia so I'm a tad disappointed . An interesting story that held my attention and perhaps ideal for those like myself looking for something a little bit different to other historicals .I was gifted a copy of this in exchange for an honest review
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. enjoyable read for my first historical romance By Zia This was the first historical romance I have read, and I was actually a little surprised by how much I enjoyed it. For much of it I was quite into it and wanting to keep reading. A few times though my interest did wane. Primarily when dealing with the plotting of the bad person.After losing her husband of mere months at 16, Lida is beaten and disowned by his family for being pregnant before their wedding night. Eight years later she's got a beautiful daughter and is happy to continue her life unwed working their family's farm. Unfortunately for her, she catches the eye of Jarl Magnus on his way out of that land. He had been searching for a wife and believes she will bear him sons nicely. Despite being completely against it, she succumbs to his demands and pressures in order to give her daughter (Katia) a name. And off they go to his Norrland territory. Magnus is hers from the moment he sees her, he just doesn't realize it until the end. Lida on the other hand makes their relationship kind of difficult in the beginning because she is defiant and clings to her misconceptions of what his people are like. But when she finally accepts her lot in life things get much better. Magnus is not sweet by any means really, but he is respectful, considerate, and maybe not patient but he allows Lida to get away with much that most other men would not. I believe a lot of the changes that Magnus goes thru have to do with Katia. Her personality and how she lights up a room had him wanting to do things to please her and to earn her trust. All seems well and their marriage even is a happy one now. But beneath the illusion of the perfect keep there is one party especially that plots behind the scenes for what they desire. But Magnus's blind trust in those who he feels have served him loyally for years is what turns him against Lida. In his rage he confines her with rules and leaves for a hunt. If not for his half-brother yelling at him and making ultimatums he would never have learned of all that was going on that he should have seen long before. When things look like all will be okay, his king shows up and puts him in a difficult position. And when he leaves, all the plotting against him comes to a head in his absence and he almost loses all he has come to love. With some interesting information about Lida coming to light, an unexpected ally also appears. After a successful attack, Magnus reclaims what's his and plans to smoke out all those against him. And a year later they are both still happy together and very much in love. Though it pains Magnus to admit it.I really liked Magnus's character. I also liked Lida, but in the beginning she was so frustrating because she was the one making her life so much harder than it needed to be. I also quite liked a couple of the side characters, namely Tero and Hok. Hok was especially fun and turned out to be very important in regards to many things.Despite liking this book quite a bit, I'm not sure how interested in continuing this series I am at this point. I think I enjoyed it most because Magnus was a brute but an honorable one, and his interactions with Lida and Katia always had me wondering what he would do. Katia's book is next and the guy she's gonna end up with is completely different so I don't know how keen I am on that. While I may at some day given the chance and time check it out, I'm not exactly excited about it.
