Once again, Sandra Hill does not disappoint her readers. DARK VIKING continues her series featuring time traveling Vikings. In this book, we meet Rita who joins Women on Earth, Air, Land and Sea. While she is in training, she is suddenly transported back in time, caged, and labeled as dangerous.

Depressed and lonely, Lord Steven finds himself drawn to Rita once he sees that she is all woman under her gear. When she mentions knowing a man similar to him with the same name as his brother, Steven must find out just what is going on.

I really enjoyed this book. Rita is a wonderful and strong woman who will do what she must to survive. Steven is an engaging man; he may act like a brute at times, but he has a big heart. I liked watching the relationship build between Rita and Steven. No matter how sexy Steven might be, Rita does not let him push her around. It was nice to see a heroine stand on her own and not depend on the hero to rescue her.

The banter between the two is wonderful. I loved that, in helping Rita fit in to his time, Steven gradually comes out of his depression and begins to live life again.

This book is full of humor, and sometimes I was even laughing out loud, but of course that is what I expect when reading a Sandra Hill story. Her characters are always full of emotion and depth, and always living in the moment.

DARK VIKING is a wonderful book that successfully mixes romance, adventure, and humor. Frequent readers of Sandra Hill's books will be nicely entertained, and new readers may end up going in search of her other books.
