Viking in Love (Viking I, 8)

Okay, so if you're one of those historical readers that are very mindful of the speak, you will hate this completely. You'll read a lot of terms used in contemporary novels within the speak of the characters but that did not detract from the story. The hero is solid, the heroine is like-able and sensible. This is a comedy thru and thru, and that made it so enjoyable. There are some sexy scenes, so you get your fill. i would say an 7.5 on the sensuality side and it wasnt all roll your eyes corny. The supporting characters in the book are fabulous and the children had me laughing out loud at one point with their "Victory" shouts. It was great, fun, easy reading. I cant wait for another book by this author, hopefully on Wulf!

I LOVED the humor and sass back and forth between Breanne and Caedmon!!! * Just the right amount of everything in all the characters really, * no one was *to* perfect, *to* wimpy, etc. * beautiful and accurate historical details, * and an excellent read!! * A 1-nighter for me! (Less actually!) =) Short and sweet: this is the BEST "Viking" book yet! Forget the time travels and stick with this template! Whose story would I like to see next? Wulf's definitely! And please include an update on Geoff's whirlwind wedding. Especially given he's described as a "blonde god" and his wife while pretty has slightly crooked front teeth and well, not what would be considered Geoff's perfect match! =) And for the life of me I STILL don't know *who* or *where* "Alrek, the Clumsy Viking" and "Jamie the Rascal" were in this story? Was this a typo? Another book perhaps?

In 965 Northumbria the five Viking princess daughters of King Thorvald of Stoneheim in the Norselands kill the abusing spousal, Oswald the Earl; make that former Earl, of one of them, Vana. The dead miscreant had ties to the odious King Edgar so the fearsome femmes need instant protection. . They travel to a cousin-by-marriage, Caedmon, who resides inside Larkspar, a strongly fortified castle. Caedmon does need five female bosses having spent nine months with one bossy monarch. He wants them out, but agrees to house and protect them in return for the most hostile of the quintet Breanne warming his body for ten consecutive nights in which he proclaims everything goes and she agrees Although quite straightforward proving the shortest distance between two points is a historical novel containing no time displaced Vikings or Americans, this historical is an amusing gender war of what looks like the first of five Tenth century romances. The bickering starts even before Caedmon enters the plot as the fearsome fivesome argue over who did what to Oswald the brute and that argumentativeness never takes a respite even when the hero steals a kiss. Although the sisters especially Breanne seems more modern day than from two millennia ago, fans will enjoy this jocular jaunt with its key question being what is the Viking S-Trick? Harriet Klausner
