Magnus is a Viking with too many little problems. Those little problems are from his seemingly extreme virility. He has eleven children which does not include the offspring who didn't make it to adulthood. This outrageous amount of children will make for several very humorous events in the novel that will have the reader giggling.

Magnus finds himself thrust into the future...with his brood...he must do what has to be done in order to survive. When he runs into Angela and she mistakes him for an actor, he knows he has finally found the woman of his dreams. How he goes about convincing her leads to more hysterical scenes with Hill's trademark tongue-in-cheek humor. Angela isn't entirely convinced that he is the man for her, but she can't leave the hapless Viking. The reader will love reading about Angela's and Magnus's developing relationship.

Angela is a great main character. She really seems to have her head firmly on her shoulders. However, she tends to be a romantic at heart. Magnus is just plain arrogant and so cocky that it is easy to laugh at him. The secondary characters round out the novel and provide good dialogue. The characters are memorable and enjoyable.

The events in THE VERY VIRILE VIKING are very well written. Sandra Hill has the ability to make the reader laugh out loud or sigh when Magnus says, yet another, arrogant comment. The ending is ideal and the reader will put this book down satisfied.
