Viking's Orders is a great paranormal/mythological fantasy romantica book. Pure is an ice maiden looking for an out in order to go rescue her sister from 100 years lost in a version of hell; Vikar finds himself inexplicably infatuated with Pure and fighting emotions & tendencies that bely his berserker nature. This is a story about how they come to each other...and how they react to each others' betrayals. There is a threesome scene; "deflowering"; a teensy bit of shape-shifting; and some good old Viking fighting. One of the really unique things about this story is that while it deals with mythological "characters" (Odin, Valhalla, etc...) it is a current setting (the Vikings beat the Hell's Angels for their Harleys... she mentions Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs show... etc....). The juxtaposition of the mythology and "our" everyday life is at times surprising, as you could easily find yourself believing it to be a "historical" piece of fiction. Hot sex scenes, a HEA, what more can you want?
