Product Description
Lt. Torolf Magnusson and his team of Navy SEALs have gone back in time to eleventh-century Norselands on a search-and-destroy mission, but when they find they've landed in the middle of a sanctuary-filled with women-well, hoo-yah! Their plans are put on hold, much to the distress of Hilda, the head of the sanctuary. At first resistant to Torolf's pursuits, she soon succumbs to his passionate advances. But with victory in sight for Torolf, Hilda must face the fact that their love may not survive the test of time.

 Hot! August 26, 2008
This was another great part of the Seals&Viking series by Sandra Hill. I can't wait for more.
 Didn't care for this one. May 20, 2008
This is a continuation of the Magnusson family series. The Magnusson's have time traveled to the 21st century from the 1100's. I mostly enjoyed the other books.
A. This is getting old. Stay in one century already.
B. The terms that are used both by the SEALS when trying to talk to the 12th century women and by the women when talking to the SEAL's. EX: Torolf to Tilda is talking about "sexual attraction" and she understands what he means. Another:" You invite me for a night of swiving." There were some definitions in the very back of the book but who wants to keep stopping to look them up?
C. Hilda was a screechy, obnoxious person in both centuries much like Madrene in "Hot and Heavy". I was sick to death of her constant insults to Zorolf: "loathsome lout" (this one we heard so often I was ready to scream), "lackwit", "filthy, untrustworthy, uncaring maggot of a man." She was always telling Zorolf that there would be no more "tupping" then the next thing you know they were having sex.
D. How attractive could these women be? They didn't bathe regularly, their clothes weren't particularly clean, they worked with sheep and I'm assuming they didn't shave their legs or their armpits. It's hard to believe not just one, but five 21st century men would want to be in very close quarters with them.
It looks like the next book will be more of the same so I'll pass.
Fun and sexy February 13, 2008
This is a good, fun read although could of done with better editing. This book would of got 5 stars except knowing what the characters think was too annoying, there was too much on thought and not enough dialogue. If you can overlook this, I thought the plot was very original with a few spicy sex scenes.
My new Sandra Hill favorite. Fantasy and naughty fun with heart, loved it! February 5, 2008
I love Sandra Hill books as they are always funny, steamy and most often includes a romance that is surprisingly real despite the far-fetched plot of her books. Rough and Ready is a great example of her writing at its best. I described this book to my husband as if a mans fantasy sex story is written from a comedy point of view, and toss in a romance that melts the heart (as well as the bones!) This story was laugh-out-loud funny, very hot (OMG steaming fun scenes!), and it had a lot of heart. I was really ruiting for this couple, and felt they got a perfect story. If you can deal with the unbelievable, i.e. time-travel and other farces, and enjoy a good dose of naughty humor, Sandra Hill is your author to read.
Good, but her math is fuzzy January 1, 2008
Her main character she says is 31. She says he came at 15 to through time the first time, and then she says later that he came back originally traveled in time ten years ago. My math says he should have traveled back 16 years ago....But other than the math, the story was good. Not her best. I agree with some of the others that the characters were a little weak. Hilda was not her strongest female character. She had potential that just wasn't as fully developed as some of her other females. But it was a good light read. Recommend for fans of Sandra Hill.
