Really a 3 1/2
11 Feb 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I had some problems with this book:
1. The whole marriage thing was pretty far fetched.
2. Maddie should think about breast reduction surgery since we heard about the size of her breasts constantly.
3. She was a shrew; she was always shrieking about something & never shut up. I'm surprised Ian didn't wear ear plugs around her.
4. This is the same problem I have with many books. The male and female leads have an area of expertise due to career, training, etc. Yet one of the leads, usually the female, refuses to let that person call the shots, even though in that particular area, THEY KNOW MORE. EX: Maddie knows squat about the 21st century, has no clue about covert ops. Yet every time Ian tells her to do/not do something that he knows will be dangerous she pouts, is insulted, says it's because she's a woman and if at all possible does it anyway. Completely irresponsible, particularly as her acts can put people in a lot of danger. If she were a photographer & told Ian not to open the darkroom door she'd expect him to adhere to what she says because SHE KNOWS more about it.
I would have given it a three but I enjoyed the follow up on the earlier stories in the series and I like Sandra Hill's writing style.

Hot & Heavy
1 Aug 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Over the past few years, Madrene's Viking family has steadily been vanishing; logical probability indicates that they are dead. Despite Madrene's valor, she finds her lands overtaken by invaders and herself sold into harem after harem as a slave. However, since she tends to have an unfortunate effect on her owners' ability to make use of her as a harem girl, she never stays anywhere long. Then, out of the blue, she finds herself free, and a thousand years in the future. Madrene does not know what has happened or what to make of this new world. When she is found by a group of Navy SEALS, they at first think she's a terrorist, but soon become otherwise persuaded. A marriage of convenience, or possibly inconvenience, is the only way to get her legally into the States, and Ian MacLean is chosen as the groom. He is sure that they'll be able to annul it after she's safely established as a citizen, but he hadn't counted on attraction bringing them into a real marriage. The only problem is, Ian is convinced he's married to a lunatic who might be a terrorist, [prostitute], or burglar, albeit a pretty one. There is no way she could be so innocent of all modern things, yet she is. None of it makes a bit of sense. The only thing either is sure of is that they are falling for each other, and it can't possibly work.
**** Granted, this book is replete with places nitpickers can dismantle gleefully, such as how could a woman from the distant past, from the Viking lands, speak English? However, fans of Ms. Hill's broad humor will be pleased as she adheres to all her trademark mechanisms to create a story with zip and a heartwarming end. ****

I took a chance and I'm glad i did!
30 July 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I was crazy about her fun viking series:The Reluctant Viking, The Tarnished Lady, just to name a few, but extremely disappointed with her too corny, far fetched books in:Bewitched,Truly Madly Viking, Love Potion. I missed Sandra so I took a chance on Hot and Heavy and wasn't disappointed in the least. This is a great book to bring to the beach...I read it in 3 days.
