Format:Mass Market Paperback
I love Sandra's books, but this one only gets 4 stars as i feel the same plotlines are starting to be repeated, for example teaching the viking women linedancing, these are brilliant books written with great wit and humour, but they are getting a little repetetive, so will always recommend, i read this in one sitting, she is still the best around at what she does, the sense of family and relationships are brilliant, long may Sandra continue to write. This is Stephen, thorfinns brother's story.

Dark Viking by Sandra Hill
Paranormal Romance- Oct. 5th, 2010
4 ½ stars
Looking for a book that is hilarious, outrageous and guaranteed to perk up your day? If you aren't familiar with Sandra Hill's exuberant humor then you are in for a treat. She writes light hearted books that really transport the reader into a world you wished you could inhabit. Her characters are a hoot and the heroes in particular are so hunky! In Dark Viking, she continues her Navy SEALs, time travel Viking series.
In this novel saucy stuntwoman Rita Sawyer is recruited into the new WEALs (Woman on Earth, Air, Land, and Sea). While in the grueling training camp Rita in scuba gear she is suddenly transported in time. When she wakes up she finds herself caged in a place that looks like an old Viking village. The head honcho named Steven dubs her the ugly Sea Siren. He states she is dangerous and keeps insisting they are Vikings. Rita is sure someone is playing a joke on her but she isn't one to be pushed around.
Steven of Norstead is depressed. As the last of his noble Viking line he has great responsibility for 2 Viking estates. He used to be happy and carefree but when his brother Thorfinn disappeared life lost its appeal. When out on his longboat Steven discovers a strange female monster and immediately cages this treacherous creature. But when this 'Ree-tah' takes off her outerwear he is dazzled by her beauty. However, he still does not trust her and her eccentric ways. But when she mentions a man that she met similar to him named Thorfinn Steven is determined to discover what she knows and find Thorfinn again.
This novel bursts with joy. The characters are bold, bright and just laugh out loud funny. I loved the indomitable and spunky Rita. She has a lot of grit and doesn't let a brawny and sexy Viking push her around. The jokes in the story are just so original and corny that you have to love them. The hero Steven had some surprising depth as he really feels the burden of responsibility since his brother was lost and misses his brother dearly. I loved Steven's befuddlement with his `Ree-tah' and how he sets seducing her with his confident charm. The only quibble I have with the story is the rather abrupt ending and how stubborn Steven is at confessing he cares for Rita. But for sheer joy and laughter this book hits right at the funny bone and will lift your spirits.
The author's special brand of humor, wit and sensuality make her books something to look forward to after a long day. Dark Viking is no exception. I loved it!

5 Hearts from TRS!
14 Oct 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was hooked from the first page when Rita's athleticism was showcased and couldn't put down the book. Her self-confidence carried her through trying times as she tried to adapt to Steven's culture. Steven had been depressed over the loss of his brother, Thorfinn (Viking Unchained). When his people found Ree-tah, dressed in a wetsuit and passed out on their shore, Steven felt a spark of something even though he wasn't sure what kind of sea monster she might be. I loved their conversations as they tried to figure out what brought Rita to the past and how she would be protected from the King. The secondary characters added to the plot and were interesting characters all by themselves. The sideline story about Steven's sister shows promise for a future book. For all the humor in the book I thought the ending was very sweet and emotional. Dark Viking has it all - great characters, funny dialogue, engaging plot, and heartwarming romance. - Lisa Freeman

Couldn't get past one issue... *spoiler in review*
29 April 2011
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I laughed throughout the whole thing except one part.....the whole dog collar leash scene! Ugh! the heroine herself was disgusted and was depressed that he was treating her like a dog. I get the whole male dominant but usually these heroines are pretty strong characters who can handle these guys. The fact that no apology/amends/discussion was ever brought up. The heroine completely forgot about it, as if it never happened. Yet we read for quite a few pages how she hates it and it's humiliating for her. Really made me upset and was all i could think about for the rest of the story. Even as they get their HEA, it left a bad taste in my mouth.
