Elsker (The Elsker Saga #1)
In Elsker we follow Kristia Tostenson to Cardiff University in Wales. Kristia is a small town girl with big dreams. Her first meeting with Ull isn't exactly pleasant. In fact he's pretty rude, but with god-like good looks who really cares right? Kristia doesn't expect to see him again but fate brings them back together. Kristia has her reservations about Ull, especially since his roommates are just as flawless. But after a few intense dates including a long awaited overnight trip to Ull's
I blew through this in a couple of hours the minute it arrived in my mailbox. I mean, how could I resist? Norse gods, Check. Romance, check! Thor? DOUBLE CHECK!I really liked that S.T. Bende chose to explore Ull's difficulties from the perspective of someone who knows his fate, and knows everything is going to end badly, instead of glossing over the Ragnarok is coming angle. But I wish we'd had more time with Ull and Kristia, to witness more of the development of their relationship, and her
I don't care if authors want to write a romance free of sex; I've read many of them that are beautifully done. But if you're going to be sex shaming and slut shaming (like this book) to achieve your "clean" romance, that I don't like. It's lazy, throwing around terms like slut and virtue to summaryly dismiss the sex issue out of hand, and it's not necessary. This bills itself as NA, but reads like a YA. I thought it was Twilight fan fiction a few times while reading.I gave it a chance because I

First of all I love the cover of this book, I mean look at Ull there, he just oozes bad ass Norse God does he not, I can feel my self turning in to a puddle with that piercing icy glare *fans herself* , ok sorry losing it there, Kristia is so gorgeous too, when I think of a Scandinavian woman, she is pretty much what I picture.So following on from my review the other day of Tur the prequel novella to this series which I really loved does Elsker live up to its awesomeness?Kristia is an American,
Kristia is an awkward, small-town girl from Nehalem, Oregon. With encouragement from her sassy friend Ardis, she attempts her first adventure away from home: study abroad at Cardiff University in Wales, where no one knows about her crazy visions. What starts out being a big step for her soon turns into one of her typical stumbles at the unexpected romance with the hot, detached Norse, Ull Myhr. It is a surprise for both of them when she stumbles straight into his heart. The surprise for Kristia?

I love this book. Wow, I starting reading as it was free and just sounded so darn interesting, and it was. I was hooked pretty fast. The characters are very well developed and written in a way to make you really care about them.Some of the more fashion scenes just bored me, as I could care less about designer labels and such, and all the fussy stuff some girls go gaga over. Guess that's the tomboy in me, lol. Other than that I loved it all. And that is not a big deal over all, especially for theIn Elsker we follow Kristia Tostenson to Cardiff University in Wales.
