The Dragon Slayer is a novella that has a lot of the things I enjoy when reading a Viking romance novel. Really hot love scenes between the hero and heroine. The Viking hero Ruard is big, muscular, virile and golden all over (yes, you have to use the word virile at least once in a Viking romance novel). He's also gets very jealous when anyone touches his Catriona or even looks at her too long. Oh, I just love a big beautiful jealous Viking...yummy.There are a couple of fight scenes and thank goodness author Jianne Carlo' doesn't go into a lot of detail about them in this novella. I always skim through that part anyways when I'm reading them.The Dragon Slayer is book two in Jianne Carlo's Viking Warrior's series. Book three in the series titled The Peacemaker is due to be released in June. This will be Ruard's brother Njal's love story. We get to see him a lot in The Dragon Slayer.I fell in love with Catriona's little seven year old sister Gaeierla who thinks  Ruard is the norse god Thor. Maybe one day later in the series we will get her love story. I hope we get to see her grow up and fall in love with a big golden Viking like Thor.I love the cover of this book. The cover model is Sam Bond and I think he makes for a perfect Viking. Great choice for the cover model.
