Yes | No“Wishing to fulfill her beloved grandfather's dream, Professor Meredith Foster has commissioned a project to build a Viking ship. But never in her wildest dream did she expect to actually meet a real Viking - and a very naked one - in her own living room! Initially thinking that he was a practical joke sent by her brother and friend, Meredith thought she'd go along for the ride. However, she is puzzled by the seeming authenticity of this self-proclaimed Viking who seems to know so much about the 10th century and displays total ignorance and amazement to everything modern. So is Rolf Ericsson who he claims to be? And if he is, then what phenomenon catapulted him from the last millennium to modern Maine, and what is the purpose of his sudden appearance in her life?
THE LAST VIKING is a wonderfully written novel about two people thrown together by fate, who find true love despite a thousand years between them. Right from the start, I knew I was in for a fun ride from the initial introduction to Rolf. He is such a riot! His fascination with everything and delight with Oreos and peanut butter was just fun to read. And I absolute loved the way he spoke the English language, the way he pronounced Meredith's name as Merry-Death was just endearing. As for Meredith, she is just adorable as the heroine driven mad by the macho Viking who makes her "tingle" all over.
This is a witty and entertaining book that will provide many laughs. Although some parts lagged a bit, I very much enjoyed reading this, and I admit I did get a little emotional toward the end.
This is my first Sandra Hill novel and I can't wait to read the other books in the Viking Series. ”
“Oh boy. I am sad to say that this story is a perfect example of a heroine that annoys the CRAP out of me. She’s TOO stubborn, TOO rude, and got on my nerves on almost every page. I thought after 100 pages, she’d warm up to her man, but no. She fights him until the very last page. Don’t get me wrong, there are some sweet moments, but I couldn’t get the relationship between the two, one minute enemies, the next lovers. Many writers can make it work, she didn’t, for me. This was my first Sandra Hill book, it won’t be my last, but I’ll only read one or two more before I can say I like or dislike her. Thank goodness for the humor, it carried me through.”
