A TALE OF TWO VIKINGS
Sandra Hill

Reviewed by Gabrielle Lee
Posted May 11, 2011

Romance Historical

In A TALE OF TWO VIKINGS we get two stories in one. Toste and Vagn Ivarsson are identical twins that have never in their lives been alone. Yet in the midst of battle the two find themselves separated. Each man ends up in the care of different people. Toste is in the care of a nun named Esme, and Vagn is rescued by Gorm. This book, like all of Sandra Hill's other books, is filled with romance and comedy. As the two brothers heal they find that the other is believed dead but each must find the truth for himself as he can feel the other still lives.

Once again I was pulled into the wonderful world of Sandra Hill's Vikings. Each of the brothers is a great man and having their stories told was a wonderful read. Their leading ladies are no slouches either. Both are strong women who can stand on their own and definitely stand up to the men, and these men need women just as strong as they are. When Toste finds out the truth about Esme he vows to help her and Vagn finds a beautiful woman who thinks he is his brother who tormented her as a child, yet he begins to fall for her, showing how human each man can be.

I enjoyed this book as much as the others in this series. The comedy runs rampant in this book from Toste thinking Esme's name was eat me to Bolthar's entertaining sagas and songs. I loved the inner dialogue that the characters have, it is just as enjoyable as the actual banter. Not only do we get the brothers stories but there are also many past characters that are along for the ride in this book. Making it more like visiting old friends than just reading a book.

SUMMARY

Has an eye for the ladies, loves a good fight. Splits his sides over rude jokes. Won't ask directions no matter how lost he is . . . even in a longship, for the love of Odin! Sound like anyone you know? Maybe every man you know? Toste and Vagn Ivarsson are all that and moreβ€”a lot more. Identical Viking twins, they came squalling into this world together, rode their first horses at the age of seven, their first maids during their thirteenth summer, and rode off on longships as untried fourteen-year-old warriors. And now, having seen only thirty and one winters, they are about to face Valhalla together. Or maybe something even more tragic: being separated. For even the most virile Viking must eventually leave his best buddy behind and do battle with that most fearsome of all opponentsβ€”the love of his life.
