*Back Cover Blurb*
In and Out…
That’s the goal as Lieutenant Ian MacLean prepares for his special ops mission in Northern Iraq, and he sees no reason the insertion should not go down as planned.
He leads a team of highly trained Navy SEALs, the toughest, buffest fighting men in the world. As a 34-year-old bachelor he has nothing to lose and the adrenaline of a HALO jump singing in his blood.
He has the brains, and brawn to out-maneuver, out-gun and just plain run circles around and enemy.
Back and Forth…
Madrene Olgadottir comes from a time a thousand years before Ian was born, and she has no idea she’s landed in the future.
After bopping him on the head and tying him up, she gives him a tongue lashing that makes a drill sergeant sound like a kindergarten teacher.
Then she lets him know she has her own special way of dealing with over-confident males.
Hoo-yah, it looks like Operation Rodent is about to get
Hot & Heavy
I love a good time travel-romance so this book was right up my alley. While the story was a little predictable, the humor was not. I found myself laughing out loud page after page. The star couple, Ian and Maddie, had an opposites attract thing going on and their spats kept me on my toes. With a well developed cast of characters, complete with nicknames and backgrounds such Esquire underwear model, priest, race car driver, linguist/college professor, and a genius who received his doctorate at the age of eighteen, as I felt as if I was among friends, chapter by chapter.
Maddie’s antics had me wanting to shake her at some times and nodding in solidarity in others as she fought between her heart and her honor. Her misunderstanding of common words and phrases was very funny, and at times ingenious! Ian’s group of well-meaning friends and his overbearing have an uncanny knack for irritating him as they do their best to see him happy once and for all.
Maddie meet’s life’s challenge head on until she realizes she’s in over her head. Will Ian come to her rescue or will he decide the little Viking is more trouble than she’s worth?
This is the 5 book in Sandra Hill’s Viking series, yet it read extremely well as a stand alone novel. I look forward to reading the others and more of Sandra.
