I have never read such a *boring* romance novel. I didn't hate this as much as I did The Reluctant Viking because it wasn't so explicitly anti-feminist (though it still had a troubling approach to gender), but this book was actually far less interesting. Apparently, these are supposed to be funny? I keep reading other people's reviews that say so, but I'm just not seeing it. I barely cracked a smile while reading. In fact, this was so dull that it took me about a week to read it because I just couldn't care less about what was happening. I only picked it up occasionally to read when my brain was too worn out to read anything more challenging (and because I was determined to finish--I hate not finishing a book).
The worst thing about this book is the dullness of the characters. The female protagonist, Tyra, is twenty-five years old, a warrior, and supposedly intelligent, but she reads like a twelve-year-old. Not only does she know nothing about sex (she's a virgin, which is fine, but seriously, she has never heard anybody talk about sex, not even her many, many, many sisters? Or her warrior traveling companions?), but she seems almost completely lacking in self-awareness. She's constantly mentally putting herself down and thinking she's ugly and unfeminine--even though no one else seems to be working to give her this impression. Tyra's sisters are all silly and neatly pigeonholed by their obsessive hobbies (one cooks, one cleans, one builds, one gardens). The male protagonist, Adam, is almost likeable (he's a doctor and good with kids) but for his insistence that Tyra be other than she is. At the beginning of the book, Tyra is an independent woman, leading her men effectively, enjoying her life, and Adam finds her immensely attractive as she is; nonetheless, the trajectory of the book is the process of transforming Tyra from Viking warrior princess to a woman Adam could accept as mother of his children and healing assistant. Yuck.
Furthermore, Hill (in this and The Reluctant Viking) seems strangely unwilling to actually explicitly represent certain things. Once you get far enough into the book, there are some sex scenes, but up to and around that point, this is an oddly prudish romance novel. Instead of just showing character dialogue when they curse or talk dirty, oftentimes Hill just says something vague almost as a placeholder for cursing. (I would provide an example, but I didn't mark any pages and I don't want to venture back into the text for this.)
So. These are the lessons I learned from My Fair Viking: 1) I do not like Sandra Hill and 2) it is more fun to hate a book than to be bored by it.

Ugh! This title & cover was deceiving. It is about a butch lady viking that kidnaps a sensitive weenie doctor by throwing HIM over her shoulder and taking him home to save her dying father. Once kidnapped he does not fight back & wines about being treated rough. Then he saves the father & cries when the kids in the home want to be with him. Yuck. Also, there is no "romatic action" until almost the end of the book. Come on! It is a trashy romance, we want it sooner than that.
If you like Viking romances, skip this book.

Setelah Outlaw Viking, siapa sih yang tidak penasaran pingin tahu gimana nasib bocah yang berjasa paling besar dalam hubungan Selik dan Rain? Yes Adam yang itu!!!
Siapa yang sangka bocah bengal, sotoy dan mulutnya harus sering dicuci pake detergen karena kebanyakan ngomong kotor itu setelah dewasa menjadi penyembuh juga seperti mama angkatnya Rain. Adam dewasa berkelana mendalami ilmu pengobatan sampai kebalik istana para Sultan di Timur Tengah. Kepribadian Adam berubah 180 derajat saat wabah merenggut keluarga angkatnya. Dan dia mulai menarik diri dari dunia pengobatan sampai seorang warrior princess viking bernama Tyra menculiknya. Yea, lengkap dengan scene getok kepala dan digotong pula. Benar-benar gadis Viking yang perkasa.
Ide swap keperkasaan gender ini sebetulnya menarik. Tapi aku pribadi terganggu dengan kepribadian Tyra yang diluar nampak kuat tapi di dalam super tidak pede, minderan dan agak bodoh untuk gadis 25 tahun masa itu. Dia selalu bergaul dengan prajurit Viking, biarpun dia masih perawan dia seharusnya banyak mendengar cerita jorok dll dari para bawahannya. Jadi dia seharusnya tak se"polos" itu.
Interaksi mereka berdua melelahkan dan kurang seru. Alur yang lambat dan joke yang tidak lucu juga tidak membantu. Konflik utamanya ringan dan twist di ending buku mengagetkan tapi terlalu singkat penyelesaiannya.
Karakter figuran novel ini kocak dan menarik. Alrek mengingatkanku pada Adam kecil, aku berharap akan ada buku tentang dia kelak. Rashyid, asisten Arab Adam yang selalu punya stok quote maut untuk segala kondisi, raja Viking yang tengil, Tykir dan keluarganya yang bikin aku bernostalgia, viking penyair yang super jayus dan 4 adik perempuan Tyra yang diluar dugaan super kocak karakternya.
Jelas bukan buku terkuat dari Sandra Hill.
My Rating :
Star : 2.5/5

Couldn't finish it. Got to page 67 and that obnoxious Rashid mentioned harems... for the 90th time. Literally EVERY sentence out of his mouth was related to harems. It wasn't cute or funny the first time he said it. It certainly wasn't cute or funny when he said it 89 more times. I really don't see what his purpose was, except to be incredibly annoying.
The story felt like an episode of "Frasier". The beginning of every scene started with some kind of weird subtitle like "Some deals are sweeter than others". It was unnecessary and really odd.
Couldn't stand the heroine (who goes around scratching her crotch like a man) or the hero (who goes from being happily celibate to acting like a sex-starved frat boy in about 10 seconds).
Just no.

I joined Superlibrarian Wendy's monthly challenge to read a romance. This month's theme, "Old School" almost stumped me. I didn't think I had any books on my TBR list that were 10 or more years old. But then I remembered that my partner's mother had left a stack of her books for me on her last visit before she died. I kept them as a memory to her, but most of them are not to my taste--Vikings and Highlanders galore when I prefer more "civilized" eras. This is the book I chose, which is part of a loose series.
It opens with the hero reporting on his adoptive parents' death from a plague. Looking at a description of the individual titles in the series, I realized that his adoptive parents were the main characters of an earlier book. I think this is the first time I've seen a series kill off the main characters from a previous title from other than old age. A huge issue for me and Not A Good Thing.
On to the story. Healer Adam is kidnapped by Tyra to heal her father of a head wound. Tyra plans to renounce her family to become a warrior because she thinks no one will ever marry her and being a soldier is her best option. Adam has renounced healing after the deaths of his adoptive parents and his sister. The two unwillingly come together along with a cast of raucous characters.
There is certainly no lack of amusement in this book as Hill inserts her trademark humor in every scene. But there are some serious moments and a certain amount of adventure. An OK read, one that didn't keep me up late to read it, but has enticed me into wanting to read some of the other books in the series.

She may not be Zena Warrior Princess, but she was a warrior princess just the same. And she was in a difficult place: he father had decreed that she would have to be married before any of her younger sisters would be allowed to marry. And so goes the adventure of an Amazonian Viking princess who is aware of her height and that she is as tall as many of the men with whom she serves, yet within that grand and glorious woman beats a heart that desires to be loved and cherished just as much as the most petite lady who ever walked the planet. There is, as usual, lots of chuckles in this novel, men and women who are thinkers and who are never fearful of expressing their thoughts and beliefs. It is a refreshing look at a society and culture that has long been misunderstood and who were an important influence in the development of the cultural milieu of Western Europe. A really great read and we are all delighted that they have been re-released a decade or more after their first printing.

WTF!!! I was so looking forward to a new Sandra Hill novel. You can imagine my disappointment to discover this is a book released in 2002 that I already have a paperback copy of--the title of the book is changed, but the content is the same as My Fair Viking. I can't believe publishers re-releasing books with different titles. The thought that authors are going along with this seems demented to me. Don't they get it betrays my trust as a reader which means I won't be buying more of their books?! Thank G-D Amazon has a good return policy for Kindle books.

I just can't get over how poorly written this story is and its weak story line. . . I am all in for cheesy but this just crossed over into bad!

Terribly, horrendously bad. And so so sooo sexist. How did you even manage that, Sandra? How?

I'm constantly donating books to Better World Books at their dropoff bins once I finish them. Viking in Love was one of my mother's contributions which I picked up for myself before slipping it into the bin. I've read Sandra Hill in the past and I remember enjoying her work. This book was on its way to earning 5 stars but it got bogged down by constant harem jokes and the surplus of side characters. The hero and heroine were such a great match and really defied common romance tropes. Tyra was a warrior princess who was bold, confident, and a great Viking leader. Adam was a Saxon healer who was stepping away from medicine after his sister died. Tyra straight up kidnaps Adam and throws him over her shoulder to heal her ailing father in Viking territory.
I liked how they made Tyra very muscled and tall which in no way hindered Adam's attraction to her as a woman. I was getting major Brienne of Tarth vibes and I was living for it. There wasn't a power struggle and Adam didn't want Tyra to change her femininity. The couple was really nice to read and it made the book very special. Like I said, the endless harem jokes from Adam's Arabic assistant and the dumb poems from a Viking side character killed the vibe. I hope to find more Sandra Hill books in the future or at least a romance that would make Brienne of Tarth proud.

I wasn’t aware a book about Vikings could be so utterly boring but wonders never cease.
I went into this pretty much blind but I was so excited to read this, and even more excited when I realized the woman was the Viking. However, this book quickly went downhill. It was just so freaking boring. It was like pulling teeth to make myself read this and by the time I got to page 190, I could not believe I was over halfway through the book and NOTHING had really happened.
This book felt neither plot or character driven. The characters were all either flat and two dimensional or annoying as f**k. And then we started getting multiple POVs beyond the hero and heroine? Just no. And the stupid harem plot line? I swear to god, if I never hear the word “harem” again it will be too soon.
I ended up skimming the last 160 pages because I couldn’t take it anymore. Even the sex scenes were boring and lackluster.

Odie totalmente el destino de Selik , Rain y Adela y con lo que ellos construyeron .
Adam y Tyra el uno para el otro , Tyra una guerrera pero muy inocente en otros aspectos , me encantaron la familia de Tyra especialmente sus hermanas , me encantaría saber mas de ellas y su destino, en fin me gusto aunque me dejo con un sabor amargo en sus primeras paginas ya que le quito la alegría de uno de mis libros favoritos Selik y Rain , y mas con Adela pero en fin . Lo recomiendo

Fantastic read
Funny, so funny. I'm so thankful to have had this as my second Viking read, because the first by another author was so horrendous. A female warrior Viking was perfect fix.

Pretty decent romance novel. The Viking is the woman in this one, and SHE absconds with HIM, which was a nice twist on the usual. She still turns into the usual "simpering maid" though, which is why I only give four stars.

DNF'ed at 50 pages. I just couldn't get into it. Was waay too much for me even though I read bodice-rippers all the time lol. Maybe I just didn't like the execution of the premise? IDK but I won't be reading this again lol.

For a summer read you will discard the moment you're done - ok. Hilarious use of language. People of yore saying modern-day phrases methinking too much ;-).

Even better
I always think the last book in this series is the best until I read this one! Truly entertaining between a Viking warrior and a Saxon doctor.

This book was deceptive.....title and front cover makes you think the Viking is kidnapping the women! But no! I did read the back cover and initially the story was interesting about until they got to Tyra's (amazon Viking, needs a healer to save her dad) home. I did laugh out loud initially. I am not a Sandra Hill reader, or I guess I would not be surprised! It was too much fluff and modern day thoughts/comments added in for my liking. I like to escape to the past! The sexual swordplay was good until....it became an all out sexfest! Kind of ridiculous. Too much sexual description for me. I actually skipped large portions and did not finish the book because of so much stuff, to many characters and silliness!Did not seem to be a reason to keep wading through the silliness. Maybe you like that sort of the thing. If you like Sandra Hill, this is a re-make, My fair Viking, looks to be better cover and title!

Sandra Hill writes romances about the Viking period, although from time to time she makes modern-day comments so that modern-day readers can find some way of relating. This particular book made references to James Bond and Ann Landers.
With a picture of an overly bulked up Viking on the front cover, I had the impression before starting to read the book that this particular man would be the "Viking" in the story, and he would "capture" somebody else. But not so! The "Viking" in the story is a 25-year-old warrior princess by the name of Tyra, and she kidnaps Adam the Healer so that she can have her father healed from a war injury to the head and then divorce her father so that she can step out of line of his marriage requirements and allow her sisters to marry.
In this family everyone is in everyone else's business. With five princesses around the castle, there is plenty of matching making and scheming about getting Tyra and Adam to the alter to wed.
But what bothered me, and Tyra, too, was how this so-called "honorable" man threatened to take Tyra's child away from her should she and he conceive a baby. He wouldn't do the "honorable" thing and marry her instead, so that the baby could have both parents. His claim was that children need their "fathers", and neglected to acknowledge that children also need their mothers. No wonder why Tyra was so angry with him.

Viking Captive
Don't ever thing of taking Bothor's poems out because they enhance the storyline and bring the humorous side of the bantering between the Vikings alive in your storytelling. I as a reader tend to move from one type of story to another. Because, I become weary of shifters, supernatural, romance, fantasy or urban fantasy, vamps, etcetera. An then . . . The call of the maidens and strong Scottish outcry lore me in again. I all ways seem to need a good highland, Viking or outlander to make my day. I seem to seek out you, Sandra Hill. Because I find your storytelling are humorous, with characters that are enjoyable and I find myself laughing out loud and becoming emotional with tears of sadness when called for. So I say again the Viking series is a worthy read.

This book was okay. I didn’t really like how when the protagonists were first introduced to each other their entire romantic premise was based off of how horny they were. It made the characters seem really shallow and lack depth, this changed a little towards the end of the book, but most of the book was just the man trying to get into her pants. The book had its highlights, I liked reading about the characters when they revealed things that were deeper then just surface level; however, the book overall just seemed boring to me. I will give it the benefit of the doubt though since I was trying to get it done in 2 days to reach my end of the year book goal and maybe I “rushed” through it, but I’ve read books before that I couldn’t put down and this was not one of them.

Anachronistic? Yes. Little headings before new scenes that can be very annoying? Yes. Some stereotypes and a lot of conventions being used? Yes.
I still could not stop reading the book. Sandra Hill does things right. She pokes fun with the mistorical aspect of the romance, and I kind of love how over-the-top alpha heroine Tyra is. The book was funny and cute, and has me wanting to read her backlist. :)

Delightfully awful. The dialogue and viewpoints are painfully modern, but funny nonetheless. This book is pure junk food reading, and why not? If nothing else, I have to give the author credit for writing a heroine that's not short and dependent, though she rather went too far in the other direction right into absurdity.

I like Ms.Hill's books. This one has a navy weals (women seals) being propelled back in time to a viking household and contending with the lord there who thinks himself her master. Enjoy the humor and the sparks that fly between the female and male protaganists. They end up in love of course. Enjoyable.

There were a few inconsistencies in the beginning (the description of how Adam and his sister came to stay with Rain and Selik) and I did not agree with the manner Selik and Rain were killed off. Other than that this was an awesome book. The hottest and sexiest by far. It still had fantastic humor, and a wonderful plot line!
