Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Madrene Olgadottir, an 11th-century granddaughter of a once-powerful Norseman, finds herself transported to the 21st century in Hill's playful follow-up to Wet & Wild. Lt. Ian MacLean and his team of navy SEALs are hot on the trail of Jamal ben Hassan and his nest of terrorists in northern Iraq when they come upon Maddie, stinking of camel spit and who knows what else. Believing Maddie to be Jamal's mistress, Ian takes her into custody. Cleaned up, Maddie turns out to be a babe, one that Ian (and his "dangly parts") finds irresistible, so he isn't too put out when he's tricked into marrying her to facilitate the government's cockeyed plan to ferret out terrorists in the U.S. using Maddie as bait. Though one would expect Maddie to be frightened by the high-tech world she's been dropped into, she views this new world simply as an advanced civilization and takes it all in stride. She quickly adjusts to such oddities as "pan-teas," "dee-odor-ant," and little people in boxes (TV). The intrigue is lukewarm at best, and the romance is as generic as they come, but few authors can fuse erotica and drop-dead humor like Hill.

    Laugh out loud funny! It's why I love all of her books. If you've only read her Viking/Seals take the time to read her Cajun series you'll love Tante Lu Lu

    I like Sandra Hill, she is always good for a funny light read. Kickbutt alpha heros, sometimes kickbutt alpha heroines. I like the fact that her ladies are not always teeny tiny...you know the ones barely 5 foot and so childlike in size. Why are all the tall men wasted on a short, short woman.

    Every time I read a book in this series I think it's my favorite. So I have 5 favorites so far. Great storyline, great love, great adventure and heartfelt love of all kinds. I loved Mandrenes story. Amazing.

    What the heck do you expect from Sandra Hill - anything less than excellence?

    As usual, an awesome Viking/Navy Seal adventure just waiting for you to buy it, take it home and treat it right - read it!! But pay attention: this is a fantasy so don't expect reality; suspend belief (such as "there is no such thing as time travel") and just ENJOY the book. If you don't like fantasy, don't buy then review the book in a negative; that's not fair. Warning: sex scenes are R but story line is hysterical and wonderful!

    Sandra Hill tells a good story with a lot of humor slipped in. I've read many of her books and never thought I would enjoy anything with time travel in it, but it is a story that is told so well you can't help it you have to keep turning the pages to see where this story is going.

    This is a GREAT Sandra Hill story which includes Navy SEALS, Vikings, time-travel, with a Cajun thrown in, plus action, plenty of humor, emotions and loads of typical Sandra Hill asides. She managed to include it all. I LOVED it, my husband chuckled his way through the book and now I am going to loan it to my girlfriend who I also got hooked on anything with Sandra Hill's name on it. I highly recommend this book to all and the same goes for all her books.
