Like all of Hill's heroes, Eirik of Ravenshire is virile and handsome, but he has a few flaws that make him very endearing to the reader. His nearsightedness, combined with Eadyth's ruse of being an ugly, old crone--so she can avoid the usual marital duties--creates a hilarious situation. Eadyths bees are good for even more laughs. The dialogue crackles with energy and wit as do Eadyth's inner thoughts.
This book is also very sensual, and the lovemaking seemed more real to me than any book I've ever read. It was as if I was there living it.

Eadyth wants nothing to do with men, but she needs a husband to protect her and her 7 year old son John from her most hated enemy. She goes to Erik of Ravenshire for help. Erik shares her hatred for the evil Steven of Gravely. He marries her in name only to protect her and her son in order to get to his enemy. He never intended to fall in love with the 'Tarnished Silver Jewel of Northumbria'.
This story was Sandra Hill's usual humorous and sexy romp of romantic history. I loved it immensely. Erik is sexy and funny with the things that happen between them when they are trying NOT to fall in love with one another. Eadyth is a beekeeper and the scrapes that happen are hysterical.
One thing Sandra Hill is able to do that not many authors achieve is the use of children and pets in her stories. She makes them secondary characters you grow to love and laugh with. In this particular story you will get a kick out of the wedding 'gift' Tykir, Erik's younger brother and main character to the last book-The Bewitched Viking, gives to Eadyth. I was on the floor laughing. "Show me yer legs..." hahahaha, you will know what I mean when you read it, it is hysterical!
The entire Viking Series is excellent! And my favorite character is Tykir....ahhh, he is so sexy and sweet, he will make you melt. His book is last, the 4th in the series after Erik's........1. The Reluctant Viking--2. The Outlaw Viking--3. the Tarnished Lady--4. The Bewitched Viking(my favorite) =) All are 5 star reads, I wish I could rate them higher!
