publishers Weekly

fleeing A Tyrant, Young Torolf Magnusson And His Family Accidentally Time-travel From The 11th-century Norselands To Modern-day America. They Adapt So Well That, Years Later, He's Become A Navy Seal Determined To Return To His Home Time And Right Old Wrongs. A Group Of Special Forces Buddies, Viewing The Adventure As A Lark, Insist On Going With Him And Land In The Midst Of A Viking Women's Sanctuary Whose Residents, Though They Despise Men, Are Eager For Children. Hilarious Cultural Misunderstandings And Outlandish Sex Scenes Follow, Along With A Budding Romance Between Torolf And The Sanctuary Leader, Strong-minded Hilda Berdottir. Though Hill's Plot Requires Some Major Suspension Of Disbelief, Her Attention To The Details Of Seal Operations And Viking Life Provide A Welcome Measure Of Credibility As The Men And Their New Allies Work To Dispatch The Villain. A Clich D Evil Scientist Plot Weakens The Latter Half Of The Book, But Hilda's Comical Adventures In Present-day California And A Highly Satisfying End More Than Compensate. Hill's Fertile Imagination And Ribald Erotic Touches, Previously Employed In More Than A Dozen Historical And Paranormal Romances (including The Very Virile Viking), Should Further Expand The Popularity Of This Bestselling Author.
