Master My Viking

The wench has always plagued the warrior, but when she turns out to be his bride it’s hard to say who is the most dumbfounded.

Sigurd Thorgest is the proud Chieftain of a Svealand Viking group. He is only 27 and surrounded by an adoring family, admired by his comrades and lusted after by the young women. He is a lusty, handsome, fierce warrior. Any woman would be overwhelmed to be his betrothed, but Sigurd has managed to steer clear of the marriage trap until now. His father has arranged that Sigurd is to wed a Greylook daughter to form an alliance and end the years of feuding. As Sigurd studies his promised one he is relieved to see that she is young with a rounded figure. When he gazes at her fine features, Sigurd is horrified to see that it is the wench who plays tricks on him. She has annoyed him with her childish pranks for as long as he can remember. Because he has always followed his father’s direction, Sigurd knows that his fate is sealed…but she is a comely wench and the bedding shouldn’t prove too difficult…

As a child, Hilde had been horrified as she watched the young man kill and skin her pet rabbit. She made a vow to get under his skin as her revenge. Each time she raised his ire, Hilde knew she had bested the beast again. When her family tries to drag her off to the alter for the fourth time, she knows that escape will be impossible because they stick firmly by her side, moving apart only so that she can meet her new husband. No! Hilde will never wed the man she calls “Zhuwa”. He is a vile animal. If she refuses to bed with him maybe the marriage can still be annulled.

They openly despise each other, but the inside yearnings of these newlyweds could set the house on fire! Throughout the book, Angel Lynn builds the tension to explosive levels. Sigurd has never been refused by a woman, and is desperate to be with this stubborn sassy wench who just happens to be his wife. He will not bed her until she cedes to him and will not allow any another man to gaze at her beauty. Hilde’s growing attraction to her husband is almost too much to bear. If only she hadn’t taken such a firm stand in the beginning. If only she could swallow her foolish pride, Hilde could have a prize among men, but to do so now is impossible. Master My Viking is a hilarious, light-hearted glimpse of the Viking world. Pure male teasing and banter had this reader laughing out loud. Event after event drew the couple into a titanic clash of wits. The anguish and torment of desire that the stubborn pair have inflicted on themselves is also amusing because of the author’s outrageous language. If you enjoy comical and entertaining historical romances this is one you must not miss.
