Obeying Her Vikings: A Reverse Harem Romance Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

4.1 out of 5 stars 118 ratings

After Viking warrior Wade Gudlaug's hunting expedition is delayed so long that his bride-to-be presumes him dead, he returns home to find that another man has begun courting her. The first instinct of both men is to fight to the death over the woman they love, but when she begs to be spared the pain of losing one of them it is decided instead that she will be their shared bride.

Though Iona soon finds herself with her cheeks blushing and her well-spanked bottom burning, when her new husbands claim her together she is left sore, spent, and satisfied. But when a third man seeks to marry her as well, will she be able to handle the appetites of so many Vikings?

Publisher's Note: Obeying Her Vikings includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don't buy this book.

    Steamy is a good start but when we meet, Iona, Tal, Wade & Dahn we also see Love. It might be an unconventional love but it works for them and that is what you see as they work together to make a life for themselves. Watching the four of them is heartwarming they create a loving environment and they don’t care what others think only what makes them happy to create a wonderful life for them all.

    Actual rating: 4.5 stars.

    It's been a while since I've read a book by Lily Harlem and this one reminds me why she's the Queen of erotic romance for me. Her books are sensual, sexy as all heck, but still filled with emotion. She is why I love reading erotic romance. More specifically, HER erotic romance. This makes me want to go back and hunt through her back list to find books I haven't read yet to dive into.

    As the title suggests, this book contains spanking or domestic discipline as they call it. It's also hot as heck, but if the spanking is not your thing, then you might want to give it a miss. That said, the spanking is hot and doesn't overwhelm the story. And of course, Iona deserves it, according to her husbands.

    Iona is your strong, independent Viking maiden. She knows what she wants and is not afraid to go after it. She's also headstrong and willful which is probably what leads to her being disciplined since she has a tendency to disobey her husbands. While Iona is a passionate and forceful character, she's also submissive towards her husbands and their wishes for her care and well-being. While some readers may balk at the whole "obeying the husband" thing, I think it's fitting for the setting and time of the story. After all, it's historical Viking times. I don't know much about Vikings but if I were to imagine what a rough, brutal Viking would be, I'd expect him to be dominating and likely rather highhanded. The depiction of the dynamic between Iona and her husbands works for me. There's this whole concept of ownership and domination that plays a large role in the story. It doesn't take away from Iona's strength and independence, but I like the idea of these men caring for Iona, protecting her, and pampering her. Iona still carries her weight with looking after the farmstead and chores that she is meant to do, but at the same time, she's expected to obey their dictates when it comes to her protection and care. I like that Iona is a comfortable combination of independent and submissive.

    It's not always easy to write good, distinct characters when there are multiple men involved. There are only do many words to allocate to each man to build up their personalities and develop them. I think Ms Harlem does a good job with them since I feel like I got to know the men as individuals and they didn't blur into each other and were just interchangeable d***s. I knew that Tal was the hotheaded one who acted and spoke before he thought. He was more prone to violence as a means of working through a problem rather than talking it through in a reasonable manner. It also took him the longest to accept change and deal with it. Of course, that does not stop him from being a devoted husband, loving partner, and passionate lover.

    Wade, I liked a great deal. He's the calmer of the two though he's been known to draw his sword to defend what's his and protect his interests. He's more likely to listen to reason and more willing to consider a change to his life or their situation. He's a good balance to Tal's impulsiveness.

    And finally, there's Dahn. He's a late addition and goes from making their trio and foursome, but not without rocking the boat somewhat. I liked the way Ms Harlem introduced him into the already established trio of Iona, Tal, and Wade. Dahn is patient, charming, and engaging. He's also intelligent and reasonable in how he deals with situations and how he presents his case to Iona and then the men. He's smart about the way the approaches things and I can appreciate that. I do love a man who thinks things through.

    As I said, I don't know much about Vikings and their lives and times, but Ms Harlem's Vikings seem authentic to me. I enjoyed the rituals and culture she injected into the story, and also the way the characters spoke. Their speech patterns made me think that real Vikings would talk like that, but what do I know? I'm not a Viking expert. In this case, the setting, the culture, their way of life, their actions, and their speech all felt genuine to me and I enjoyed being immersed in the Viking world while reading this story.

    If you haven't read any of Ms Harlem's books before, I encourage you to give her a shot. She's been writing for such a long time and has such a vast library of work, you are bound to find something to suit you and enjoy.

    PS. The only thing that bugs me about this book is the cover. I'm not a fan of the cover. The men look very unwashed. Well, at least the guy in front does. Bleugh!

    Not the most sophisticated wordsmithing here: "Iona spent the evening feeling like she was walking on hot coals or eggshells." I prefer using one trite stereotype per sentence (sarcasm - I prefer none). Lots of intimate scenes in this novella, but the clumsy writing detracted from them. Plenty of spanking, and some multipartner stuff, but of course the guys manage not to touch each other at all while giving the lady what she desires. Not sure how that's physically possible... Oh well. It was free with Amazon Unlimited, thankfully. I wouldn't recommend purchasing.

    Iona thought her first love, Wade had died on his journeys. She started to see Tal and then Wade came back. The two Vikings started fighting for the right to wed Iona, but she did not want to choose, she loved them both. She convinces them and they are all married. Of course, she also gets herself spanked when she puts her life in danger or disobeys her husbands. Later, Wade's cousin Dahn shows up hurt and burning with fever from an encounter with a bear. Iona nurses him back to health and he decides that he wants her as well. I enjoyed this reverse harem story and i hope that we have more stories in this world.

    Who doesn't love an alpha Viking or two or three. Muscles, dominate, and major chemistry between Iona and her three husbands. They are all very protective of her and quick to discipline her when she puts her safety in danger. There is plenty of steam, action, adventure, drama, and passion/lust and love. Highly recommend.

    I felt like I had had missed an entire book when I first started reading. I was so confused. Throughout the book I couldn’t Breslau coo etc with the characters. This book was ok for me, not one of my favorites.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 26, 2020
    This Story is pretty red hot. The story seems to be very focused on main characters. It is not hard to follow because it's entirely from Iona's viewpoints. I tend to like to get the male perspective as well but it can be confusing if not well written. I would have loved to read parts from the various Vikings view points. I was surprised that after she married her third husband there wasn't a threesome... After all Tal made it very clear if she chose 2 she would need to please 2.... I would have thought he would demand she please 3 as well. I enjoyed this story very much I will read more by this author...
