Jorund and Maggie are the main characters and love
interests for each other in this novel. Jorund is somewhat
surly, bold, and handsome. Maggie is smart, compassionate,
and sarcastic. When they meet, quite by accident, Jorund
makes what one may refer to as "a bad impression." Jorund
finds himself randomly in the twenty-first century and
doesn't understand where he is or what happened. Maggie is
a doctor and a very common sense and logic type of person.
Maggie and Jorund have to figure out why and how Jorund
came to be in the twenty-first century while dealing with a
budding romantic relationship. The reader will love
reading about their fairly explosive relationship. Jorund
has the best way of talking that many readers will have
heard about-he's really funny!
This book is fun to read, the events and love scenes are
exciting, and the ending is satisfying.
His boat off-course, somehow getting thrust into the
twenty-first century, Jorund Ericsson has cause to question
his surroundings. And though the befuddled Viking thinks
he\'s found heaven when he catches sight of the comely wench
with the man-hair and the kiss-some lips, the lovely doctor
simply thinks him crazy. And Jorund realizes the only thing
that has driven him to the edge is her enticing figure.
He skyrockets from the water and into Maggie\'s life: all
sinewy muscles in a flawlessly proportioned body, a swath of
long blond hair swept back from his brow. His claim to be a
Viking from the tenth century makes her smile. But it isn\'t
laughter that causes her stomach to flutter when the
Hercules look-alike claims her lips. And soon he has her
believing his story, though questioning her own sanity. Then
the psychologist realizes there is another possibility:
Neither of them is truly mad—but both of them are truly,
madly in love.
