It was a long time ago and I can no longer remember the name. I'm sorry.
Viking-era romances are not very common, and I am unfortunately very picky. However, I'll be sure to post the names in this thread if I come across any good ones from now on.
EDIT:
In fairness I should add that one of my biggest gripes with viking romances is the names. I'm Swedish. The anglified versions of what Norse names are supposed to be like in my mind, to my ears, ring off-key and jar the immersion to the point that using a C instead of a K, i.e Cnuut instead of Knut, can be all it takes me to make roll my eyes at the author's "obvious" (=apparent) lack of interest in researching their chosen setting before writing about it.
I cheerfully ignore the fact that the only way to force a native English speaker to pronounce the name Knut correctly is to spell it Cnuut. Welsh/Scottish romances have pronunciation guides either in the back or front of the book. It's easy to make one for vikings.
