Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 01 27, 2014
My first book by  this author and I think it's probably her debut as an author and it's a very accomplished piece. A strong mixture of action, adventure, romance , paranormal and even Viking mythology! There is so much happening in this book that it's hard to know quite where to start! Although once you start to read this story you will be well and truly hooked!This story is centred around Theresa a serving captain and doctor with the military forces serving in Afghanistan. She's a strong woman who refuses to just coast through life and makes her own decisions. Theresa is beyond intrigued by reports of a soldier who was apparently almost mortally wounded and yet now is healthy. She sets out to track him down but what Theresa encounters is a  special forces Sergeant who wakes up her libido!Sergeant Wolf  Wardsen has a secret and he's not about to reveal it to anyone least of all a doctor who might want to use him in experiments but circumstances keep throwing Wolf and Theresa together. When Theresa accompanies Wolfs squad she sees first hand that Wolf is definitely no ordinary soldier as there's no way he can easily explain his remarkable healing ability.Theresa has leave due to her and travels to Rome to relax and try to puzzle out what she saw but Wolf can't allow Theresa to betray his secret. The last thing Theresa expects is to look up and see the enigmatic sergeant in Rome but there he is! Wolf may have followed Theresa but he's not the only one capable of subterfuge . Corruption is rife and danger is following in Wolfs wake. Not only is Wolf a Viking who has been alive for more than fifteen centuries but he's also part of a military unit that takes it's role seriously and now it looks as if no one is safe. Can Wolf convince Theresa that he' wants nothing more than to protect her or will she slip through his fingers? Wolfs past is about to catch up with him and he's not the only one in the firing line!So much happening in this book that it's quite a challenge to review it. Clearly the author has done her homework and knows quite a lot about military operations and procedures and this truly shows. It's a very fast moving plot and a definite page turner.As for the romance well who wouldn't want a Viking warrior of their own? No fated mates or sloppy love stories here. Just a fantastic adventure with a twist and more to come from these very demanding Vikings ! My only real criticism would be the easy acceptance of Vikings and immortality by the heroine and  also the special operations guys but this is a fantasy and not reality so I can let that go.  A very detailed story and bound to be a hit with fans of military or paranormal romance who are looking for something  a little different.A solid four and a half from me and I look forward to the next book from this author.
