The Viking's Captive

Classic Hill here. But this time she took a Viking WOMAN warrior who is 6 feet and athletic with no qualms about telling the men to take a hike and is in charge of her own army as the heroine. Wow...I am impressed. She is rude and crude and even scratches...parts at times, but Tyra, Warrior Princess is very aware she is a woman. Especially when she spies dear Adam the Healer. Adam from the 5 previous books in the series has been a funny and sexy secondary character, but now he meets his match in Tyra. Adam is a healer, trained by Rain and Selik (main characters from 'The Outlaw Viking'-2nd book in series) and runs his own orphanage, but has taken a vow of celebacy since the tragic death of his only family, his sister Adela. He wants nothing more to do with the healing arts and is furious when this Viking woman warrior kidnaps him and takes him to the Norse Lands to heal her dying father, the King. What begins as anger and fury, turns into curiosity and attraction for Adam. Tyra is a fierce and different woman who may be capable of changing his mind about medicine and life. Maybe he can start over? But who could start a life with a woman who lops off heads of men? I mean really? Tyra on the other hand is used to men ignoring her and when Adam, this gorgeous god from the Saxon lands seems extremely attracted to her she is dumbfounded. What in the world does he see in HER? She's too big, too loud, too obnoxious and too manly. All the maids are drooling after him including her sisters and he is looking at HER! Hmmm, maybe she should flirt? No, she already made a bargain with the randy Saxon, to sleep one ngiht with him if he saves her father and if he dies? Then she lets him go. No sleeping...she can't decide if she is sorry or glad. This is trademark Hill Humor. Ms. Hill makes Tyra very insecure as a woman, but turns her into a very strong and vital vixen for Adam. I loved it! All the secondary characters from the other books are here and funny as ever, especially Tykir from 'The Bewitched Viking' and Bolthor the World's Worst Scald. We are also introduced to a new character here, Adam's assistant, Rashid, who is obsessed with getting Adam a harem and possibly asking Tyra, the man-woman to be the first houri, lol. The antics and scrapes are all classic Hill and funny as ever and IMO, one of her best. I never thought she could be funnier, but she always gets me :D 1. The Reluctant Viking 2. The Outlaw Viking 3.

Sandra Hill is written another eletrifying tale brimming with humor and romance. In this edition to the Viking Saga, Adam, a famed Saxon healer, is at a low point. He won't practice medicine and he's given up on women. His friend Rashid tries everything to pull him out of his slump, but then fate steps in. Tyra, a fierce viking warrior, arrives to fetch him so he can save the life of her father. The attraction between them is sudden and powerful, but Adam refuses to budge on his position that he's no longer a healer. Tyra is left with no choice but to "convince" him to help her meaning she thwacks him with her sword, tosses him over her shoulder, and sails to Norway... with Adam tied to the mast of her ship.This marks the beginning of a passionate, sweet, humorous tale. It never takes itself seriously and its bizarre humor provides many laugh out loud moments.The supporting characters are a delight. While simplistic, the plot is original. Like all of Sandra Hill's viking novels, this one's going in my reread pile. Highly recommended.

This is the story of the Physician Adam, and his love for the sword-swinging Viking woman Tyra. What I liked most about this novel, is it is told primarily from the male POV, and is quite hilarious.By no means is this a serious book, it nevertheless amusing, romantic and sweet all in one!Hill manages to make the role-reversal quite believable. Adam is 'smitten' by Tyra, despite the fact that she abducts him from his crumbling castle at swordpoint. Tyra is a tough woman, who scarcely believes Adam may love her or that she is loveable.A great read when you are in the mood for a funny and charming romance with a bit of a twist. I wish there were more books like this!

If you are a fan of Sandra's Viking Stories, you will not be dissapointed! Once again we visit with our viking friends, and learn that Adam is now a full fledge Physician, living a life of a hermit, in mourning over the deaths of his sister, and step parents. That is until a certain Viking princess, invades his castle, lops him over the head with her broadsword, and carries him off to heal her ailing father. The funs begins! A comical, but sensitive story of a reluctant warrior to ever become a wife, and a talented physician who has lost his confidence and the people who change their lives. I loved this story and could not put this book down...can't wait for another...How about it SH...perhaps a story involving one of Adam and Tyra's children travelling to the future? The possibilites are endless!
