Caedmon of Larkspur is the most loathsome lout I have ever encountered! When my sisters and I arrived at his castle, we were greeted by servants and children running wild, while Caedmon lied abed after a night of ale. No doubt there will be another child soon, because I must admit he's as handsome as he is virile. And I must endure him, for we are in desperate need of protection, though I can only imagine what this knight will demand of me in return . . .

After nine long months in the king's service, all I wanted was peace . . . not five Viking princesses running my keep. And the fiery redhead who burst into my chamber that first morning is the worst of all. Why, I should kick her out . . . but I have a much more wickedly delightful plan for Breanne of Stoneheim, one that will leave her a Viking in lust.

I found this book to follow the great writing style of Sandra Hill. I love all the books. You do not have to read the in order but I would recommend it.
The only down side I found is that they do not list the order of the books.

This story is very romantic but challenging when you see conditions in England in the mid 900's. This is a must read for anyone concerned about fair treatment of women. At that era neither rich or poor were treated
very fair by the crown or the church.
The hero is a landowner,Caedmon,who returns to his castle after many
fighting for his king to find his home a big mess. Everything is filthy
and run down especially his 10 motherless children. He also receives 5 uninvited guests. These women make themselves at home and shake up his life.
Since he has been married twice before he is not looking for a wife and does all in his power to avoid that. It is so funny to see all the challenges he goes through before admitting love.

Could not put this down. The time travel was handled humorously. Love this author.

You'll enjoy Caedmon and Breanne's antics as well as their story. You'll love that she's a very strong person but sympathetic as well who needs his protection. Don't miss this book.

I love Sandra Hill, but this is nothing new. At least the print was medium size. Her last two books had the smallest print. It hurts my eyes!

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.In 965 Northumbria the five Viking princess daughters of King Thorvald of Stoneheim in the Norselands kill the abusing spousal, Oswald the Earl; make that former Earl, of one of them, Vana. The dead miscreant had ties to the odious King Edgar so the fearsome femmes need instant protection. . They travel to a cousin-by-marriage, Caedmon, who resides inside Larkspar, a strongly fortified castle.
Caedmon does need five female bosses having spent nine months with one bossy monarch. He wants them out, but agrees to house and protect them in return for the most hostile of the quintet Breanne warming his body for ten consecutive nights in which he proclaims everything goes and she agrees
Although quite straightforward proving the shortest distance between two points is a historical novel containing no time displaced Vikings or Americans, this historical is an amusing gender war of what looks like the first of five Tenth century romances. The bickering starts even before Caedmon enters the plot as the fearsome fivesome argue over who did what to Oswald the brute and that argumentativeness never takes a respite even when the hero steals a kiss. Although the sisters especially Breanne seems more modern day than from two millennia ago, fans will enjoy this jocular jaunt with its key question being what is the Viking S-Trick?
