Rök Erikson comes from a long line of Viking warriors. The tradition of his upbringing, his new Christian faith and the code of honor that says he must protect his family at all costs wage war within him. He and his brothers go on a mission to kill Jarl Van of Colby before the man can make another attempt on their father’s life. The code of honor insists that they either kill or be killed, however, there are dark forces at work of which Rök is unaware.
Leani is the daughter of the jarl Rök believes is making attempts on his father’s life. When the eldest brother reaches her village ahead of Rök and the rest of the party, he kills her father and defiles her frail sister. Enraged, and fearing for her own life, Leani drives a silver dagger into his neck. Leani is captured by the vile Eriksons and forced to leave behind her broken sister as they take her to face a trial for killing the Viking who murdered her father.
Leani’s life hangs in the balance as she struggles with her guilt over taking the life of another and tries to find forgiveness where none should exist. Her faith will be tested to the limits as she fights a growing attraction to her enemy, tries to hide the truth about her identity, uncovers a treachery that runs deep within the Erikson clan, and sees how God can come to your rescue even when all hope seems lost...

I’d been in the mood to read/review another tender Inspiration/Christian romance, so as I usually do I did a genre search and this book’s title caught my eye. Naturally, While I knew a little about Charlemagne and his “converting” pagans to Christianity by the sword, I didn’t know anything about the Vikings and their conversion.Ms. Soard did a decent job in researching the historical aspects for her story, because as I found out in doing my own research. Not all Vikings fell into the image we’ve got in our minds of being fierce pillagers, some were traders. Viking traders noticed they could do better business as a Christian than they could a Viking, so they wore a cross while amongst Christians and Thor’s hammer when they weren’t, and could practice both religions if they weren’t baptized, which had been the practice for a few centuries.
And it’s this practice of embracing two cultures which brought conflict into Rok Erikson’s life and his mind. He must deal with going up against those who are intent to kill his father, yet this doing this would be a transgression of the new Christian faith he’s embrace.
When his eldest brother winds up killing the man who’s out to kill his father, and violates a frail daughter sexually; another daughter takes a dagger to slay him in revenge and out of fear she’d be next. She’s forced to leave her ravaged sister behind when she’s taken prisoner by Rok’s family to face a trial for her living up to her own family’s code of honor.
Kismet has a way of stepping in and complicating matters as Leani finds herself being increasingly attracted to Rok who doesn’t know who is she. Her mind is now in turmoil as she faces a dichotomy in her beliefs, Leani’s guilt-ridden with the murder she’s committed on one hand and desperate to find some non-existing compassion on the other.
Ultimately, she realizes how her new-found faith in G-d can be her salvation when she’d thought there could be none.
The author did a marvelous job in intertwining both the Viking and Christian belief systems and religions. This endeavor by Ms. Soard is sure to pull at your heartstrings even though you might believe you’ve got none, which is why I’ve given it the 5 STARS it richly deserves.

Dear Viking Lori Soard 9781611249675 Books Reviews
The story was easy reading. I enjoyed reading Dear Viking very much. I willl recommend it to all my friends.
Very well written, can't wait for another one!
Hopefully not too long! I loved that the author showed the results of jealousy.
I loved this book it, was clean and wholesome and historical. I wished that there was a series because I really liked the families. I would love to read more about their lives.
Lori Soard has penned a unique tale of love and faith in the time of fierce, rampaging Vikings. If you've ever tried to imagine how the Vikings would have been different if they'd known Jesus, this story will illustrate it while developing a sweet romance between Rok, the Viking and Leani, his prisoner. Another winner for Ms. Soard!
The story opens as Leani murders Rok's brother throwing this Viking couple together in an action and emotion packed romance that explores what being a Christian was like at the time of the Vikings as well as the issues of revenge, justice and forgiveness.
Leani and Rok's lives were not easy. They had very difficult things to deal with (family members being killed, being dragged from their home, were they going to be killed and more) which kept me engaged in the story and wanting to know what would happen next and what they would decide to do.
This is most definitely a Christian novel and I was very satisfied with how Leani and Rok thought/spoke about their faith throughout the story. Unfortunately for them, they were mocked at times by those around them who did not share their faith. The gospel message was even presented two times in the story as characters in the story came to salvation.
Sex - rape (no description); pregnancy
Language - none
Violence - murder, Viking battle (not graphic)
Religion - most definitely a Christian story (see above)
Dear Viking is a story about misperceptions, betrayal, forgiveness—and love and loyalty to family, friends, and faith. Oh, yes—there’s romance too! It was truly a treat to immerse myself in this author’s tale of two families manipulated into believing the other wanted their fathers dead—leaders who once had been best friends. Added conflict—one family has chosen to follow the Christian faith while the other continues to serve the Viking gods.
When it’s believed the Christian Colbys have set out to kill the leader of the Erikson family, the Eriksons travel to where the Colbys have settled in peace and retaliate. The eldest brother kills Leani’s father, Jarl Van of Colby, and violates her sister. In rage, Leani kills the evil son and is taken back to Iceland for her trial.
Leani is vocal about her belief in Jesus; however, Rok Erikson is a new Christian who must be careful about what, when, and where he shares his faith. As beautiful Leani awaits her trial, she and handsome Rok become close. But, Leani also worries about her sister left behind in the devastated village. And Rok questions—if Leani’s father wasn’t trying to murder his father, who’s still trying to kill him?
This inspiring romance transported me back in time with a story of how God can work to bring good from evil.
This is a sweet romance that will pull at your heart strings. Rök Erikson’s new found Christian faith clashes against the traditions of his Viking family; he fights against falling in love with Leani and the duty he feels for his family that demands he avenge his brother’s death. While Leani’s life hangs in the balance, she feels guilty for taking the life of another and places her punishment in the hands of her savior.
As Rök’s and Leani’s faith is tested over and over, Lori Soard handles these characters’ inner and outer struggles like a pro.
