Product Description
Product Description
He was six feet, four of pure, unadulterated male. He wore nothing but a leather tunic, spoke an ancient tongue, and he was standing in Professor Foster Meredith's living room. The medieval historian told herself he was part of a practical joke, but with his wide gold belt, callused hands, and the rabbit roasting in her fireplace, the brawny stranger seemed so...authentic. Suddenly Meredith was mesmerized by his bronzed, muscular, form and her body surrendered to the fantasy that Geirolf Ericsson really was a Viking from a thousand years ago, sent only to pleasure her. But as she tried to teach him to eat spaghetti and use a computer, she realized he knew an awful lot about the tenth century--and so little about the twentieth. And as he helped her fulfill her grandfather's dream of re-creating a Viking ship, he awakened her to dreams of her own. Until she wondered if the hand of fate had thrust her into the loving arms of

On the night of a Demon's Moon Geirolf's longboat is caught in a storm and wrecked. Expecting death, he is instead left utterly bewildered when he lands on the coast of Maine and one thousand years in the future. Needing another boat he decides to help himself to the half completed one on shore, thankful he carries a powerful sacred talisman after meeting a green eyed witch named Merry Death, a woman who laughably claims the boat as her own.
Professor Meredith Foster is intent on finishing her Grandfathers dream, the creation of an authentic Viking longship. Mistaking Rolf for a carpenter, she is initially disbelieving when he claims to be a real viking from the tenth century. Yet with his indepth knowledge her grandfathers project goes from strength to strength and soon her house centres around a thriving Nordic community, complete with a longhouse and forthcoming traditional wedding ceremony - hers and Rolf's. Funny she doesn't remember saying yes.
Like other readers, this is the first novel I have read by Ms Hill and will certainly not be the last. Her play on words throughout this book keeps the reader smiling and some of the scenes are laugh out loud hilarious. Not accustomed to modern society, Rolf sees no problem 'phoning Sharon Stone to set up a date with a besotted fan or contacting the crew of Home Improvements after thinking Tim Allen a modern day God. Meredith's daily refusal of Rolf's marriage proposal falls on deaf ears, yet rather than finding this annoying I found instead my heart melting just a little bit more with the arrival of each tender and thoughtful bridal gift (as per ancient Nordic tradition). This is a wonderful romance and I cannot wait to get my hands on the other books within the Viking series.

She's done it again!! This was not my first Sandra Hill novel, I had read The outlaw viking and found Mrs.Hills writing style refreshing, so when I found The last viking I grabbed it up and I was not dissapointed. If possible I was even more impressed with Mrs.Hill, she is a wonderful storyteller and bring just the right amout of humor to make you laugh AND cry!!

It was only through absently meandering through the Amazon site one day that one search led to another author which led, eventually, to Sandra Hill. After reading the reviews for 'The Last Viking' I decided to order the first three books in this series, needing a change of pace from some heavier reading and my usual lighter reading: paranormal romance and vampires, and because I love anything associated with vikings!! I began this book almost as soon as it arrived and was absolutely taken with it from the beginning. I think the thing that makes her books stand out from others of the same genre is that her books are full of fun and passion and life in all its glory. Yes, it is impossible and fanciful. Yes, it is full of alpha-males and the women who succumb to them. But, you know, it is fiction and if we can't suspend belief and enter another world in fiction then where can we? They are huge fun and this book, first in the second series of Viking books made me laugh (alot) and cry (somewhat) - Geirolf's leaving of Merry-death to try and return to Vestfold in the 10th Century made me weep as I finished the book late that night. I will not repeat the summations of the story that others have left here - they are accurate and definitely encouraged me to try this author but I can honestly say that if you love romance that is a little out of the ordinary, has a sprinkling of hot (yes, hot) sex and a love of live and a belief on new beginnings then pick up one of Sandra Hill's books. I, for one, will be ordering the rest of both Viking series' and will even try her contemporary series as well. Ms Hill, you have another fan.

Not bad
This book started of in true style, and really made me laugh out loud, but it tends to mellow out halfway through, worth a read and a laugh.
