Grab Instantly Santa Viking (Viking I, #10.5) Engineered By Sandra Hill Released Through Hardcover
BOLTHER!!!!!!!! SQUEEALLS!!!
Erik Thorsson, I know the name, yes Very funny, Loved Bolthor found someone to love, Looking through my folder of Christmas books on my kindle, I found this and wondered why I hadnt read it before.
I was a big fan of Hill's viking books and remember Bolthor well, Stepping back in time to read a story where he finally finds love was a treat, I found all the signature writing style humor I remembered from Hill, However, I would have liked just a little bit more to the story because I feel his character deserved it.
The second story in this duo unfortunately didn't capture my interest, so I didn't finish it,.Actually I didn't read more than a little of this book, It was awful. It was full of graphic sex from the get go so I never went further, Don't waste your time. The recommendations and synopsis did not offer any idea of what you were about to read, Just read the first short story so I could could it as a "Viking Romance" for myRomance Reading Challenge.
This book gives you two stories for the price of one, Two fun, romantic and sometimes hilarious novellas that I think will really put you in the holiday spirit,
Bolthor's Bride
We have the long awaited story of that Viking Scald Bolthor, Yes, he finally found someone who could listen to his verse without cringing, someone who thought him to be breath stealing handsome.
. . someone with four children andswinelike husbands under her belt, someone who could use his strength and love! This would be a very merry Yule season for Bolthor the Skald and Katherine the Saxon.
This was a fairly short novella, but with Sandra Hill's usual humor and depth of characters it will not be a disappointment for her fans.
In a "Viking for Christmas" we come back to thecentury with the story of Erik Thorsson and Jessica Jones.
Jessica believes that she has a curse upon her and for all intents and purposes it really DOES look like that.
Jessica meets Erik while she is dressed as Santa Claus attempting to 'rob' the Piggly Jiggly of the money they owe her for a broken toy.
During the attempted uhm robbery, she ends up taking Erik as a sort of hostage and things just escalate from there,
The only thing I could possibly have had problems with was that Erik fell in love in a matter of hours, and just kept talking about wild sex and how great he was in bed.
However, the story was so sweet in the long run, with an amazing depth of character growth in such a short amount of time that I finally found myself overlooking that issue and falling in love with Erik and Jessica and, oh, did I forget to tell you that there is also houseful of orphans in this story I fell in love with them too.
It was a magical Christmas for all and this book sure helped me find a little Christmas spirit which I was sorely lacking this year!.
Hill has a wonderful way with telling a story, She draws you into a and keeps you there, She writes wonderful characters that make you laugh, First book read by this author, Ludicrous comedy. Not really my style. Looking for a quickie
Two stories about Vikings falling headoverheels in record time, They really lacked so much plot, it was uncomfortable, We really need more developed characters here, great book!!
This is one great book!! I enjoyed both stories very much, and could not put it down until the end!! Move, love love!! A very big must read about second chances, love, and the journey to get there!! A fun, romantic romp yule love! Meet a sexy tenthcentury Viking hero and a modern day hero with a Viking heritage who both have the knack for making women melt.
. . with holiday cheer. Merry Christmas from the Norse Pole,
Bolthor's Bride
Bolthor the Skald has been there for his fellow warriors, both in battle and as a friend.
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, so to speak, This gentle giant, now scarred and retired from the fray, has never found a woman who loves him despite his rough appearanceand his poetry, which is woefully bad.
Enter the sexy, Saxon widow Katherine of Wickshire Manor, a woman in need of a strong man to take care of her, her four children, not to mention about two hundred chickens, in the style none of her first three husbands could manage.
When Viking meets Saxon, the sparks do fly,
