The Reluctant Viking
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 3.92/5 from 12 reviews Fantastic start to a great seriesI really loved this book,the characters Ruby and Thork I really warmed to and I disagreed with the reviewer that said if you like Danelle Steel then you will like this;I cannot stand her books, but I liked the wit and humor in this story,so much so I have now bought all Sandra Hill's books.I liked the banter between Ruby and Thork,if Ruby and Thork had hit it off from the beginning there would have not been much point to the story.This is a really great read not at all like your traditional historical romance story,if your fed up with the traditional historical romance type book then buy this. Another great from SandraI was in tears reading this book, from laughter. I had tears of sadness at Thorks destiny. Even thought he was not very nice to Ruby until the end, he is still a man to die for. You are never disapointed by Sandra's hero's. Ruby's antics in the 10th. century are absolutely hillarious. The things she got up to were totally unbelievable, like giving women contraception advice, starting her own lingerie business. The ending had me in stitches while she was trying to seduce Jack into coming back to her. If you love a book that will make you laugh and cry this book is the one, but saying that all the books i've read of Sandra's make me feel this way. Great read Sandra!!!!!!! A reluctant readerThough the writing was done well, I more then once wanted to put this book down. I found the character of Ruby to be frustrating. And her actions were painfully repetitive. For a 38-year-old woman, she seemed a little dense. Perhaps the first thing one does when one wakes up 1,000 years in the past is try to convince people you're from the future. Perhaps. But After 50 pages I think you would shut up and try to figure out what's going on instead of yapping so much. And though Thork looks like her husband Jack, I don't feel that's enough to make her love him despite all the horrible treatment she gets. That was another problem for me. Thork and Jack were two different people. Why couldn't she see that? OK, I know Thork is an earlier incarnation of Jack, and Ruby finally figures that out, but her constant insistence didn't make sense after the first few times. Once again, the character is not too smart. In all, I was reluctant to keep reading the Reluctant Viking, and only suffered through it because so many people gave it great reviews. I guess it's another case of chacun à son goût | ||||||||||||||||||||
