Tykir Thorksson. Business man, land owner, soldier, and a Viking. Taking a night off and getting drunk. Along comes an emissary of his cousin, King Anlaf, trying to bribe him to chase after a witch said to have cursed the king’s manly jewels and bring her to the king. No. He must get home before winter sets in. When the emissary tells Tykir that his adopted brother, Adam the Healer, is being held hostage, he finally gives in and goes hunting for the witch.

Lady Alinor of Greycote: Wild orange blond hair and covered from head to toe with freckles, widowed three times, and trying to hide from her brothers before they marry her off again. All she wants to do is raise her sheep and sell her fabrics. But along comes a Viking who insists that she is a witch and takes her off to deliver her to King Anlaf. No matter how much she protests, no one will believe her. What’s a girl to do?

This is a revised version of the first release by the same name. Although I did not read the first version, I love this one. I laughed through the whole book. Sandra Hill’s humor is awesome. I couldn’t put it down. Having read a couple of the books that come later in this series, I enjoyed going back and reading Tykir’s story. Hill’s attention to detail of the times and locations adds to the enjoyment of the story. Although this book is linked to others in this series, this book stands alone quite well. If you love to laugh while reading a good romance, this one is for you. Even if you have already read the first release of this book, you will still love reading this one. It won’t disappoint.
