Wet & Wild

I loved this book and all the Sandra Hill books that I have read. You can depend on her to deliver a good time. I never worry when I pick up one of her books I know I will enjoy it. It will be hot and romantic and funny and so much other stuff. This one did not disapoint. I am not one to give book reports when I review a book because when I look at the reviews I want to know if this person enjoyed the book and would recommend that I buy it, so yes I enjoyed and recommend buying this book.

This is one of the funniest books that I've read in a long time. Ragnor, the male protagonist, is a viking warrior who's traveled through time and wakes up in a Navy Seals camp. He falls for a superior officer, Lieutenant Alison MacLean, and is punished by her brother, Master Chief Ian MacLean, for daring to want his sister. Ragnor, with his audacious charm and built-for-sin body, is a character you can't help but love. The dialogue is witty and sharp, and all of the characters are hard to resist. I can't wait to read about Ian and Ragnor's sister, Madrene, as well as the many other characters introduced in this book!!!

Ok, the plot is a little wacky and unbelievable, but the dialog was so funny. I was laughing out loud so much, my family made me leave the room. Sandra's humor really shown through on this book. I had trouble believing some of the plot in regards to the Navy Seals program, but take this book for what it is - a humorous romance novel. I've read many books from Sandra and I've liked them all, but this book made me laugh out loud more than any of the others.

I can't remember if I have read any other books by Sandra Hill, but I will remember this one. It was fun, interesting and the romance between Max and Allison was in my opinion -- different and new. Not the index card / cookie cutter romances, I have read before. I like that alot. A very good read, and I will read another of her books again.

Ragnor... a wickedly delicious source of addiction, comes with its own recipe: 1 part Viking warrior, 1 part U.S. Navy SEAL, 1 part Greek God (well, in appearance anyway); add some wise-guyness, wicked sense of humor, total disregard for rules and regulations, natural inclination to always stir things up (be it tempers, hearts or senses), and top it all off with a certain ... enthusiasm, that's back with a vengeance. Ten long and devastating years after loosing almost his entire family, Ragnor, a born and raised Viking warrior, finds himself in the middle of unfamiliar war games, in a strange land, surrounded by enemies unlike any he's ever known before. Following his instinct of survival he plays along, searching for explanations for the baffling situation he's in. Somehow he also believes that he has found his Destiny. Unfortunately, his Destiny outranks him, is completely forbidden to him and thinks he needs to see a shrink. Ragnor might be alone (or is he?) and confused in this new world, but he's certain that he will have what is his. What a treat it is to read a book you can't put down until you've read it cover-to-cover, and laughed out loud most of the time (earning constant stares from everyone in your home). I think that's a Sandra Hill trademark, but "Wet & Wild" in particular, exceeded even those expectations. The book is hilarious, incredibly steamy and wonderfully written (I just couldn't put it down). I even loved the secondary characters, and wouldn't mind reading a few of their stories. Long live the Ericssons and the talent of Ms. Hill!
