Reese Johnson yearns for a life other than the world of drudgery she's settled for as the manager of Gotham City Comics. What's that they say? Be careful what you wish for? Well that's a motto Reese should have tattooed across her forehead. Because Loki, the Norse god of mischief, has just the remedy for the boring life of this woman who denounces his existence.
His recipe for disaster?
Take a 30 year-old woman and send her back in time as a pawn for revenge. Couple her with Eirik Sigurdsson, a Viking Warlord, too arrogant and baggage-laden to be of any use for anything, but battle and bed. Mix thoroughly, folding in a heavy dose of pride, a tyrannical king, and a sympathetic goddess. Bake at high until a white-hot love is unleashed and then forever frozen in time.

Koko Brown is the pseudonym for a quintessential erotic romance junkie who once read over 200 Zebra Club novels the summer before her senior year in high school.
Koko’s writing career began at the tender age of nine when she self-published and distributed a newspaper to her fellow classmates. Unfortunately, her grade school school principal didn’t appreciate the competition and put her out of business after one best-selling issue.
Undaunted, Koko continued to write and read everything she could get her hands on. She honed her writing skills as a staff writer on her college’s newspaper, writing obituaries for the local newspaper, and teaching English to high school students.
One day while daydreaming in bed, Koko came up with the idea for her first erotic manuscript. Taking a hiatus from teaching, she had enough time on her hands to flesh out the story in two short weeks. A week later, she cleaned it up, then sent it to Ellora’s Cave during the Christmas holiday. By January she heard from one of their editors and by March (and many revisions) she signed a contract for her vampire novel Charmed.
Calling the east coast of Florida home, this multipublished author of interracial erotic romance loves to travel, shop in thrift stores, ride motorcycles, renovate houses, and volunteering.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book!!!! And I'm not just saying that cause I am currently obsessed with a certain 6 ft 4 Swedish Viking Vampire on True Blood. Great story and just AWESOME! I gotta re-read it soon too!
I was a little disappointed after reading all of the great reviews. Once again, the love came to quickly after the sex. It had great potential, however, it was quick for me. I would lend this book, however, not because I thought it was outstandingly wonderful. TTFN-Sandy
A lot of things happened too soon, in a way that made it unbelievable. I mean who just accepts from one moment to another that she's suddenly somewhere else? Let's a guy take her to his bed as his slave just because he's hot? And "loves" him dearly the next day? WHO does that?
This and other uncredible events I had to endure. At times it also felt if I missed a couple of pages, cause I just could not comprehend how one scene lead to another. It was confusing as hell. Therefore I quit almost half way in. It was too much for me to handle.
Ummmmm .... So, lots of sex. Handwaves to some of the more historical stuff. It's not a nitty-gritty historical story, but it was fun reading. The beginning was disjointed and the secondary characters needed more fleshing out. Basically, it had everything needed to be a longer, richer story. As a short, it needed more smoothing in the transitional areas. Overall the writing was solid. I really just wish there was more of it.
Caveat: This is like a 2.5 for me. I can't justify a 3, but 2 REALLY feels too low.
Third time reading this was definitely a charm for me I enjoy interracial romance an also time travel romance so putting the two together and voila you've just written a book I could love. I was wondering how she was going to make time travel for a black woman work out because history was not our friend, but in the end I truly enjoyed the story, and wish there were more interracial romance adventures stories like it. If only wishes came true.
Very hot and very memorable male lead. Man I whisk that I had that Viking.gives me the shivers. As you can tell he left a very good impression on me. I also liked that he was very human in that he needed help. I love the menage scene. And I loved the plot. I gotta reread this again and again. It's that good.
This was a fun read. I enjoyed the opening. While a group of 'geeks' playing 'dungeons & dragons' the heroine Reese decides to bad mouth Loki. So of course, god of mischief, decides to send her back in time to Norway to steal a jewel from Eirik the fair. The story was cute & quite comical.
