Romance Paranormal

Madrene Olgadottir is protecting her family and she nabs the strangely dressed man and ties him up, all the while giving him one of her famous lectures. What she doesn't realize is that she's no longer in her own time, and she's grabbed a Navy SEAL. Lt. Ian MacLean is on a special ops mission in Northern Iraq, and he's pretty sure the woman holding him hostage is the girlfriend of the bad guy. Knowing he can overtake her at any minute, he plays along because he knows it'll be a good thing if he can bring her in. The problem is, once they get home, he finds out she isn't the girlfriend -- and he's certainly glad of that, because he can't seem to keep his hands to himself. The dirty, scraggly woman who captured him gets cleaned up and causes jaws to drop everywhere she goes. This Viking series of time-travel books has been one of my favorites. All the characters are well-drawn, distinctive personalities and the dialogue always makes me laugh. Madrene, in particular, is funny because she's a little bit of a shrew -- in a good way! I highly recommend this book.

SUMMARY

IN AND OUT... That's the goal as Lieutenant Ian MacLean prepares for his special ops mission in Northern Iraq, and he sees no reason the insertion should not go down as planned. He leads a team of highly trained Navy SEALs, the toughest, buffest fighting men in the world. As a 34 year old bachelor, he has nothing to lose and the adrenaline high of a HALO jump singing in his blood. He has the brains, guts, and brawn to out maneuver, out gun and just plain run circles around the enemy. BACK AND FORTH Madrene Olgadottir comes from a time a thousand years before Ian was born, and she has no idea she's landed in the future. After bopping him on the head and tying him up, she gives him a tongue lashing that makes a drill sergeant sound like a kindergarten teacher. Then she lets him know she has her own special way of dealing with over confident males. Hoo yah, it looks like Operation Rodent is about to get... Hot AND HEAVY.
