At 31, Viking Princess Ingrith Sigrundottir is beyond
acceptable marriageable age by her own choice. Refusing all
proposals of marriage, she has taken refuge in the care of
the orphans at Rainstead Orphanage. For the orphans and
Ingrith to escape the vicious commander, Loncaster, they
steal away to seek refuge at Hawk's Lair. Lord Gravely, a
full Saxon, suddenly finds himself with Ingrith accompanied
by a herd of uninvited children.
The feisty Ingrith becomes enthralled with the handsome
Saxon and plots a 12-step plan to lure John into her web
with intent to trap him into making love to her. Not
planning to ever marry, this is her chance to experience
sex and eroticism. The two of them are constantly bickering
and bantering even as they test the waters in teaching
Ingrith the finer art of sexual peaking without
penetration. Even though Ingrith is tantalizing, John
refuses to consider marriage, and especially children,
believing in a history of family insanity. Escaping to her
father's home with a secret in tow, Ingrith does so to
protect John, whom she has fallen in love with even knowing
he will never marry her. It's spit and fire when they
finally meet again.
I thoroughly enjoyed the highly amusing bantering between
Ingrith and John while they experiment with their sexual
trysts. This is one funny and highly entertaining read, and
I will definitely search for more of Sandra Hill's
books. The sex is extremely erotic and certainly inventive.
It was sheer pleasure reading this book where the last page
came far too quickly.
THE VIKING IS A PRINCESS...
And all she wants is refuge for herself and one unique
orphan from a vicious Saxon commander who would harm the
children and destry her honor. At her age, she no longer
expects to find a husband, or even a lover, especially not
the arrogant Lord of the Bees!
THE KNIGHT STUDIES BEES...
And what he longs for is peace and quiet. John of Hawk’s
Lair is certainly not seeking a nagging wife and noisome
children. As a knight in the king’s service, he spends his
cherished time at home working on his beekeeping
experiments. So when an irksome Viking princess comes
barging into his castle with a horde of orphan children he
does everything he can to get rid of her.
TOGETHER THEY MADE HONEY...
And find a sexual attraction that sparks between them
despite their differences, one that soon turns into a fiery
love that neither can deny.
