I've read most of Sandra Hill's books and I've enjoyed the saga of the Eriksson and Magnusson families. The story of Madrene and Ian is a disappointment. Hey, try the drinking game (or if you're like me the chocolate chip cookie game). Have one each time she mentions the size of Madrene's breast or mentions the men (and women) who can't keep their eyes off them. You'll either be totally drunk or gain 15 pounds. The story had so much potential with the Navy Seals and a beautiful Viking warrior princess; but this one fell short. It had some funny parts; but overall the humour found in her earlier books was missing.
