From Publishers Weekly
Heavy on sexual shenanigans but light on substance, Hill's newest Viking time-travel romance (after A Tale of Two Vikings) holds a few chuckles but is more often a cause for serious eye rolling. Like an oversize puppy, Viking Ragnor Magnusson is so good-looking and dopey that it's hard not to smile at his swaggering arrogance and lustful ways, even when he exhibits a startling lack of intelligence upon being yanked out of the 11th century and landing in a 21st-century Navy SEALs training camp. Ragnor takes the change in stride and proceeds with the SEALs training, though his surroundings are shockingly unfamiliar and everyone thinks his name is Max. Even beautiful navy doctor Alison MacLean (whom he mistakes for a "dock-whore") calls him Max. Unfazed, Ragnor launches a campaign to get Alison into his "bed furs" and helps guard her against a stalker who may have terrorist ties. The presence of the stalker/terrorist plot thread in a screwball comedy such as this is jarring, and the subplot lacks suspense. Many of Hill's attempts at humor also fall flat (for an example, one need look no further than the inane subheads littered throughout: "She who hesitates is laid... uh, lost... uh, same thing..."). This book brings new meaning to the word "lightweight," but those who relish sex scenes involving sugary condiments may find some enjoyment.

From Booklist
In her latest Viking romance, Hill portrays Ragnor Magnusson, who is profoundly bored with his life, and bereft, believing that his parents and many brothers and sisters were lost years ago in a shipwreck. Deciding that the only way out of his slump is to go a'Viking, which would include battles, invasions, and lots of blood, Ragnor leaves his village. During a particularly gruesome attack, he has a vision of his half brother, Torolf, and a red-haired goddess surrounded in light and beckoning to him. Much to his surprise, he then finds himself in a SEAL training camp, where everyone thinks he is Torolf, and where the red-haired goddess turns out to be Lieutenant Alison MacLean, a navy doctor who doesn't know what to make of him. To complicate things further, the SEAL's quick-tempered instructor is Alison's brother, and he doesn't approve of any contact between Ragnor and his sister. Whether Ragnor is mangling the language, driving his frustrated SEAL trainer crazy, or persistently wooing a superior officer, this stubborn Viking is an excellent addition to Hill's wonderful cast of naughty, nervy, time-traveling Norsemen.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

A very confused Viking finds himself hurtled through time to face the rigorous ordeals of the Navy SEALs. Yet while his brawn allows him to easily adapt to the military, he's no match for one of the most difficult challenges of all-the modern-day woman.
