"This one is about a female Viking and a Healer!"
When Adam the Healer had to not only bury his
adopted mother and father, Rain and Selik but his beloved
sister, Adela, he decided he needed a break from the world
so he secluded himself into his home for two years. He took
this time to study herbs and the healing arts. Then one day a very large, very male acting female
Viking named Tyra comes knocking on his door. It seems her
father lies very ill from a blow to the head and hasn't
awoken for nigh on three weeks. When Adam tells Tyra that
he will not come with her, she conks him over the head with
her sword, picks him up and the next thing he knows is he's
on her ship bounded for the frozen north. How did this
happen? The longer Tyra and Adam spend in each other's
company, the more belligerent each gets to the other but is
this all bluff? All Adam knows is this woman gets his
blood going and his heart pumping. All Tyra knows is Adam
makes her feel things she's never felt before and the
biggest thing is he makes her feel like a woman. Is this a
good thing or a bad thing? Add Tyra's four sisters and Adam's large adopted
family into the mix and you have a guaranteed grand read.
Tyra's sisters badly want to get her married off as she's
the oldest and they cannot marry unless she does. Every
chapter is a joy to read, as there's one thing or another
going on. Not only that, but Bolthor the skald makes a return
appearance with his sagas that will make you howl with
laughter. As always, I eagerly look forward to what Sandra
Hill will come up with next. I know whatever book she
writes, it will be sure to entertain!
