A Tale of Two Vikings by Sandra Hill
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 more—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 opponents—the love of his life.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: 4 Rose Read

Sandra Hill remains at the top of her game when it comes to writing about hunky but clueless Vikings. This time around, she gives not one, but two Vikings to laugh at and love. One story is a bit better than the other to me, but Hill pulls of the double hero scenario quite nicely.

I'll admit, at times when I receive Hill's Viking offerings, I am slightly hesitant to begin them. I always feel as though the current one will be the same as the last. Ultimately, however, I am wrong and am sad to see them end! A TALE OF TWO VIKINGS caught me from the first page and kept me to the end. Filled with so many silly, zany scenes and more than a few heartfelt moments, any fan of the Viking series is bound to love this one too.

Happily-ever-after is a guarantee with Hill, so rest assured both hot twins end up right where they are supposed to be, while having quite the adventurous time getting there.
