WET & WILD

Author: Sandra Hill ISBN:0843951591 10/2004 TIME-TRAVEL Publisher: Leisure

What do you get when you a cross a Viking with a Navy SEAL? A warrior with the fierce instincts of the past and the rigorous training of America's most elite fighting corps? A totally buff hero-in-the-making who hasn't had a woman in roughly a thousand years? A wise guy with a time-warped sense of humor chanting grody jody calls? A dyed-in-the-woll romantic with a hopeless crush on his hands-off commanding officer? Whatever you get, women everywhere can't wait to meet him, and his story is guaranteed to be... WET & WILD

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Ragnor Magnusson is bored. He's 27 years old and lately feels that things aren't as they should be. He misses his family immensely and decides to go a-Viking with some fellow friends of his. Never for one minute did he imagine what would happen to him next. Just as he thought he was dying in battle, he sees a beautiful redhead beckoning him to come to her and he comes to as someone is shoving his head underwater in the ocean. Hitting back at the man trying to drown him, Ragnor swims to shore and later finds out he's traveled through time and is mistakenly taken for a SEAL recruit.

Lieutenant Alison MacLean is the sister of Ian MacLean, the man training Ragnor and the other men to be SEALs. She's not your typical petite heroine. She's almost 6 feet tall and has had to work hard to get where she is now. Previously engaged to the man of her dreams, Allison wants nothing to do with heartaches after her fiance was killed two years earlier. But things change when she meets Ragnor.

It's lust at first sight for Ragnor, but Allison tends to follow the rules so what is a Viking to do, but woo her into his bed? How he ended up in a different time he doesn't know, but he knows Allison is his destiny because she was the woman he saw when he thought he was dying. What follows is a rollicking laugh-out-loud adventure between the two of them. I laughed out loud so often reading this that my daughter was constantly giving me looks, probably wondering what was wrong with her mom. *G*

You know you're in for a great read when you pick up a Sandra Hill book. Be sure to pick up WET & WILD when you see it on the shelves...you won't be sorry.
