About the Author

Kris Tualla, a dynamic award-winning and internationally published author of historical romances, writes with a fast-paced and succinct style. Her plots are full of twists, passion, and very satisfying outcomes! Kris started in 2006 with nothing but a nugget of a character in mind, and has created a dynasty. Kris is an active member of both Romance Writers of America and the Historical Novel Society. She is an enthusiastic speaker and teacher, and created Arizona Dreamin' - Arizona's first romance-reader event! http://arizonadreamin.wordpress.com/ "In the Historical Romance genre, there have been literally countless kilted warrior stories told. Well, I say it's time for a new breed of heroes! Come along with me and find out why: Norway IS the new Scotland!" Big, blond, buff and beautiful men, with eyes the colors of seawater, and the wild, untamable blood of their Viking ancestors flowing through their veins. Do you feel it? The Hansen Men of Arendal, Norway - whose stories extend from post-plague Europe in 1354 through the 1840s American western expansion - are just such heroes.

This is an amazing book that I could hardly put down, so full of mystery and intrigue that kept me captivated the whole time.
I really like the way Tualla writes and the romance she incorporates in her books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recommended. Literate and Well Written.
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2015

The synopsis of this book was given in the description, so I see no need to repeat it. I have read the first two books in this series and just read this one out of order. My impressions of this book are based on it as both an individual book and as part of a series. I loved the first book and was so-so on the second one; this one was almost as good as the first one and was much better than the second one. They can be read as stand alone books and out of order, but it would probably be better to read them in order.

The world-building and characterization were consistent throughout all three volumes that I read. The five books (I read one, two and five) encompassed a relatively short period of time, and this was reflected in the characterization. The hero and heroine are still in the honeymoon phase of their relationship, but the reader can see how their love has strengthened over the course of the books. The hero is more confident in his ability to love and be loved by a wife, and more confident in his ability to be a father. As well, he has allowed himself to rely upon the heroine, much as he had with his cousin in the first book. Although the heroine faces a lot of trauma in a short period of time, she has faith in her husband's love and support. As well, the hero's and heroine's relationships with Niels, Marte and their foster sons are also evolving in ways that are consistent with the characterization that she first established.

The plot in this book revolves around finding out who was buried in the wall and why the heroine's first husband killed him. There is not the same tension here, as in the first book, where the search for a serial killer and the building romance between the hero and heroine grabbed the reader's interest. After all, the corpse has been dead for a few years, the killer is also dead, and the hero and heroine are happily married, so the tension is comparatively mild. However, the mystery is still compelling and the reader's interest is piqued; curiosity compels one to keep turning the pages until the very end.

The pace is leisurely, and events and discoveries unfold at an even rate. Scenes of shopping and domesticity are interspaced with scenes that further the mystery's solution. Characterization and relationships seem to drive this book as much as the mystery plot.

There are some mild sex scenes and a few instances of profanity. Those who dislike sex scenes and the 'F' bomb might do well to avoid this book. As well, those who want a fast paced romantic thriller with lots of hot sex should skip this one.

This is a book for a reader who appreciates a literate, well written book that deals with relationships in addition to a mystery. In this book, the journey is as important as the destination, and I recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Predictable plot
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 23, 2017

Whether it is because i have read the series through in one go or I have got used to the authors style but I could guess correctly most of the story.
Far too much descriptive sex for me. When does romance become porn?
That said I enjoyed the book and the whole series and glad I read through them. There was still too much toilet and vomit detail
