Fans of Sandra Hill will not be disappointed as in the main character of Vikar Hill creates a tough-as-nails character with charisma and a shocking dose of innocence. Vikar knows what he wants and what he wants is Alexandra...even if he can't quite have her fully. Alexandra just thinks Vikar has lost his mind.

The antics that Vikar and Alexandra experience will make you laugh out loud. Vikar's Viking crudity is funny and Alexandra seems to appreciate it, but you may have wished for a sweeter relationship.

In some ways, Vikar seems a bit innocent, but that innocence clashes with his crude humor. Alexandra's past will interest you as, she is a sympathetic character, but her sassy, lewd character may make you think twice about her.

The secondary characters were funny with some who reappear from other Hill books and some new characters are introduced and they will continue to figure into the Deadly Angel series.

I felt the plot was good, the love scenes were hot, Hill set the bar high with KISS OF PRIDE.
