1: I Loved It!
This was my first Viking book, and my first Heather Graham book that I ever read, and it is now my all-time favorite. If you like Alpha males, then this book is for you. Olaf was always demanding, yelling, and threatening throughout the book. And Erin was strong-willed and stubborn. Two characters that seemed to be always fighting, yet their love for each other grew over time and won out in the end. It just was an amazing tale that I will never forget. Also the other books that make up this Viking series, "The Vikings Woman" and "Lord of the Wolves" were great too. All three books are a keeper for me! Golden Surrender might have been my first Heather Graham book, but it sure wasn't my last!

2: Where does the romance occur?
It was o.k. I just really missed the part where they fell in love. As they are threatening each other and yelling, they are thinking of their unrequited love. The conflict went on way too long without depth to the plot showing the growing of their love. Yes, Viking stories can be harsh, but these are, after all, men. They have feelings and enjoy family( the author even makes note of this with the brother Eric).

3: Not a page-turner.
I liked the story, but it didn't flow right. It also lacked humor and humility. I didn't get Erin at all.
It was strange to see how much the male character grieved for and adored his first love. That's rare, and I'm telling ya, it ruined the story early on. More in this series? if I see the next at a sale, maybe.

4: An enjoyable romantic read...
This mixture of romance, history, and war turned out to be a very good historical romance. The two main characters, Erin and Olaf, are both strong-willed, proud and stubborn which made for some interesting feuding from the very beginning. The author fleshed them out enough to make you care about them, and like them both. Aside from the romance, which was very good, there were also some pretty interesting battle scenes as war raged on between the Vikings and the Irish. (Don't worry, these scenes aren't overlong.) The author did a good job of conveying the pride and dignity of both sides in the warring. I must admit I was slightly irritated by a few things Erin did, but I quickly overcame my irritation because of the interesting way that the situations were resolved. This irritation was also overshadowed by some of the admirable actions that Olaf took. In sum, if you like historical romances, this is a book worth reading.

5: Wonderfully Enchanting! A Must Read!!
This is the best book I have ever read. The main characters were beautifully written! Erin the beautiful strong-willed princess had me rooting for her throughout the entire novel and Olaf, stole my heart with his tough exterior but a true softy at heart. This is a story of suspense and love that is meant to be. It will keep you glued to each page, and make you cry at the wonderful ending. I loved it, and have read it again 4 times!!
