Nearly the entire book is straight friction between two characters over kind of a flimsy misunderstanding. It really seemed like the couple was allergic to talking through conflict and spent all their time just taking turns reacting to the other. A whole scad of drama that could have been avoided with a conversation or two just isn't as much my sort of thing. Putting that aside though, even if the misunderstood circumstance *had* been true, the punishment still seemed worse than the crime. They kind of shrug it off and minimize it in the end, but the revenge-seeking had been considerable to my mind, even if largely psychological rather than physical. And it ended up making him just seem fragile too, like the real injury was to his feelings rather than person, because she was a woman and women always coo over his beauty but she didn't. The absolute gall! ... All of these things robbed a fair amount of my enjoyment from the story. So some strangers treated him moderately hostilely due to his unfortunately suspicious-seeming circumstances. That's unfortunate, but also thems the breaks! They kind of kicked him while he was down, which definitely sucked, and he thought she laughed at his pain which is for sure insult to injury- but they also tended to him, sent for his family, and handed him over without even a ransom! In *retribution* he enslaves her for an indefinite period of time, threatens her with absolutely horrid fates terrifying her witless, and repeatedly humiliates her in an attempt to break her spirit... ?!? Get a grip on yourself dude! Then he only grovels for like a second and a half at the very, very end. lame. =/ It did keep me reading though. ( )

Ένα από τα ευχάριστα αναγνώσματα του καλοκαιριού, το τρίτο και τελευταίο βιβλίο της σειράς “Φλογεροί Βίκινγκς” τιτλοφορείται ¨Αιχμάλωτη του βορρά” και έχει σαν πρωταγωνιστή τον Σέλιγκ, αδερφό της Κρίστεν που γνωρίσαμε στο βιβλίο “Καρδιά στις φλόγες” και γιο της Μπρένα και του Γκάρικ, που γνωρίσαμε στο βιβλίο “Φωτιά και πάγος”.

Ο Σέλιγκ είναι ένας άνθρωπος που αγαπάει τις γυναίκες και παράλληλα είναι πολύ αγαπητός από αυτές, μιας και το παρουσιαστικό του και μόνο είναι αρκετό για να τον ερωτευτεί μια γυναίκα. Δεν μένει όμως μόνο σε αυτό, μιας και σαν γνήσιος Βίκινγκ είναι άνθρωπος με τιμή που αγαπάει τη μάχη και δεν την αποφεύγει. Έτσι λοιπόν μπαίνει στην ακολουθία ενός απεσταλμένου του βασιλιά όταν εκείνος μένει χωρίς διερμηνέα στο δρόμο του για να συναντήσει τους Δανούς. Η παρέα αυτή θα δεχθεί επίθεση και ο Σέλιγκ θα σωθεί από καθαρή τύχη, αλλά άσχημα τραυματισμένος.

Όταν βρεθεί στην αυλή της λαίδης Έρικα, θα αντιμετωπιστεί σαν κατάσκοπος και θα μαστιγωθεί. Όταν ελευθερωθεί από την αδερφή του, θα απαγάγει τη λαίδη με σκοπό να εκδικηθεί για τον τρόπο που του φέρθηκε. Εκείνη γρήγορα θα μετανιώσει για την εντολή που έδωσε να μαστιγωθεί ο Σέλιγκ, αλλά το κακό θα έχει ήδη γίνει.

Όσο οι δυο τους βρίσκονται στο ίδιο μέρος, τα αισθήματά τους θα αλλάξουν με τρόπο που δεν το περιμένουν καθώς ένας έρωτας θα γεννηθεί μέσα από όλα αυτά που νιώθουν.

Η εξέλιξη φέρνει μνήμες από τα προηγούμενα δύο βιβλία καθώς υπάρχει η συνέχεια της αιχμάλωτης γυναίκας και του ειδυλλίου που γεννιέται σιγά σιγά ανάμεσα στους δυο. Παρόλα αυτά και ενώ οι δύο προηγούμενες ηρωίδες ήταν εξαιρετικά δυναμικές, στο συγκεκριμένο δεν έχουμε τον ίδιο δυναμισμό από την Έρικα. Πρόκειται για μια πολύ πιο ήπια και χαμηλών τόνων γυναίκα που δεν έχει συνηθίσει σε τέτοιες καταστάσεις, αλλά που γίνεται αγαπητή από την οικογένεια του Σέλιγκ σταδιακά, ακόμα και πριν η ίδια παραδεχτεί τα πραγματικά της αισθήματα για εκείνον.

Selig stumbles onto Erika's holdings after being attacked and he's accused of being a spy and badly treated. When his sister comes to fetch him from Erika and discovers his poor treatment she kidnaps Erika to pay for . If these two would just talk to each other it would all work out a lot faster.

Typical Lindsey historical. Lady turned captive. Lack of communication romance. Quick read. ( )
