I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.Wow -- this was a really a delightful surprise!  I admit that I'm not typically a military book reader, but this book was a really great blend of paranormal, military, romance, action, and mythology.  I never thought I'd admit to loving a story that involves so much Beowulf after being forced to read it in school, but this book was just so unique!I was worried, but, yes, this book takes place in present day.  Seeing the word "Viking" in the series title always makes me think it's a historical read, so I figured that was worth a mention.  It begins in Afghanistan with an army doctor and a special forces operative.  Theresa is a Jersey girl (Jersey represent!) on the run from her connected family.  Wulf has a lot more secrets than that and is forced to deal with a doctor poking her nose into his past.  Being immortal, while beneficial in the field, is a little big harder to cover up when you get air lifted in as a wounded officer.This was a great forbidden romance tale that sizzled off the pages.  Because Theresa outranks Wulf, their relationship is off limits as far as the army is concerned.  But don't worry, that's not the only story going on in this book.  Aside from immortality and forbidden love, we've also got illegal smuggling, corruption in government, mob bosses, and forced research test subjects going on as well.  This isn't just your typical quick and fluffy paranormal romance read.  It is a very well developed and wonderfully written start to the world of Immortal Vikings.  Even if this isn't typically your genre, it's worth a read!
