From the Publisher

Master My Viking

Sigurd Thorgest will never forgive that irritating little wench for forcing him to walk through his Viking village without his clothes.

Hilde Greylock is equally displeased with the man who strung her up by her toes.

What do Sigurd and Hilde have in common? Absolutely nothing! Except they hate each other's guts...and they're married...to each other...

Passions of the Flame:

On reprieve from his last human death Moros has made a bargain with the faerie queen...lure the queen's half-mortal, half fae daughter, Fallon, to the otherworld.

Under the guise of The Bryan, Moros leaps the veils between worlds, but is dismayed to find a Gaelic warrior, Kane has already set his eyes upon her. The Bryan and Kane lock horns and arrogance flares. Through an act of betrayal, the faerie claims Fallon.

Enter the lands of Scottish Dalriada, 495 AD. It's the eve of Beltane, when the sacred fires are lit and the shroud between the mortal and immortal worlds grows very thin. One might spy a faerie seeking mischief or amusements. Magic abounds!

And no man, be he human or fae is immune to the enchantments in the flames. Lust seeks love, and passion burns the heart. Clothing is optional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Stories - Very Humorous, June 11, 2006

By 

Annalee Blysse "Author" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Warrior's Touch (Paperback)

Angel Lynn's The Warrior's Touch is a two story anthology featuring Master My Viking, and Passions of the Flame. Both stories had great characters that made me laugh. They were truly laugh out loud funny.

Master My Viking is the story of Sigurd who swears he will never forgive Hilde for stealing his clothes and making a mockery of him. He doesn't understand why she's always pestering him, it seems her goal in life. The frustration only increases after they get married, for she'll have nothing to do with him and he's fallen in love with her.

Passions of the Flame is a paranormal historical. Moros bargains with the faerie queen to lure the queen's half-fae daughter, Fallon, to the otherworld on the eve of Beltane. But not if Kane can help it. Though human, he professes to protect Fallon from Moros. Fallon's conversations with her best friend are hilarious... she's trying so hard to protect Kane from losing his mind over her ... which he'll gladly risk if it means losing his heart in the bargain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Great Stories in One, April 27, 2006

This review is from: The Warrior's Touch (Paperback)

I first read Master My Viking as an e-book and the Viking antics, especially between the hero and heroine had me laughing throughout most of the story. Hilde and Sigurd have despised each other since they were children. Unknown to them their fathers have arranged their marriages and much to their dismay, its to each other. The fun begins from here as each decide they will never consummate the marriage, denying both their lust and growing love for each. Their constants pranks on each other are a source of great headaches not only for Hilde and Sigurd, but for their clans as well because the marriage between the two stubborn Vikings is the only way these two clans can solidify a treaty and live in peace. This isn't a typical historical romance. The entire story is a satire that uses humorous language. If you enjoy that sort of thing, you're going to love this. As a novella its a quick, but fun read.

Passions of the Flame a paranormal historical romance is written with a completely different style, revealing the authors diversified talent. Old world language is used and the historical facts about Beltane are very interesting and not overbearing. It's the story of a Gaelic warrior, Kane who has vowed to protect the half fairy, half human Fallon from an evil fairy, Bryan who is trying to claim her because of a bargain he made with the fairy queen, who happens to Fallon's mother. Fallon needs no protection and wants the attention of no man, but she can't ignore the feelings for Kane stirring inside of her. This story is full of passion as the title explains. The love scenes between Kane and Fallon are spicy but tender and I found myself in near tears when the fairy Bryan captures Fallon and rips her away from Kane. How can Kane pass into the "otherworld" to save her when he has no magical powers? And how will he convince the evil fairy to release his claim on Fallon. The ending holds a few surprises in this intriguing tale.

I bought this book about 6 months ago and finally have enough time to read it now. I should've kept the book on the shelf. The stories fell flat. The 2nd part of the book wasn't as bad as the 1st though. I just couldn't get into Hilde's character. She was so annoying! One sentence she says she loves her husband Sigurd, the next sentence she says she hates him. This went on from the beginning of the story all the way to the 2nd to last chapter! I really wanted to like this book because I love historical romances, but just couldn't get past the main characters' behavior. Take my advise and save your money, because you're not missing anything worth reading.
