I loved Helga as much as I disliked Esme
I have to agree with another commenter here that Vagn and Helga's story is far more interesting than that of Toste and Esme's. For me, though, the reason was the two ladies. I tried hard, but I just could not like Esme. The incident where she tied up Toste in the woodcutter's hut clinched it for me. How selfish is that? As if her problem is the biggest in the world and his desire to want to find his brother's killer was just of no importance at all. Helga, on the other hand, was adorable. She was once homely, but now beautiful - at least to Vagn. Her ploys to get him to bed her were funny, and I liked the fact that while she did all she could to seduce him and get him to impregnate her, she did leave him a choice in the matter by compromising and agreeing to his terms.Overall this is a wonderful book. I have owned it for a couple of years now and have re-read it over and again. But after I read the book the first time, I now usually skip pages on occasion in Toste & Esme's storyline and just follow along Vagn and Helga's storyline more thoroughly.

YES YES YES!! I was lucky enough to grab this as a free kindle book after scouring for weeks sifting through poor editing, poor writing, poor story telling, poor stories period! Sandra Hill is a TRUE novelist with a talent for weaving a story that brings you in from the beginning and keeps you engaged. The timing and story arc are professionally done in an entertaining manner without those bothersome ridiculous typos and miss spelled words I keep running across with all of these self published writes. Sandra Hill was a diamond in a pile of dirt and I intend to go back and read her entire catalog. Finally, a free book that made up for the 20 I bought that would have better served as toilet paper... Just because it is a best seller doesn't mean its a great book. THIS was a great book.

A Tale of Two Vikings
Toste and Vagn Ivarrson are identical twins, they do everything together, which finds them in a battle where Toste sees Vagn fall and believes him to be killed. Toste is wounded and taken to a nunnery to receive care. Lady Esme has been at the nunnery eleven years but has not taken her vows, although she does penance quite frequently for her transgressions. Not only is Esme untraditional, but so also are some of the other nuns, whose activities range from making home made mead and selling fake relics. Vagn, who Toste still believes dead, is being cared for by Gorm Sigurddson of Briarstead, who is attempting to force Vagn into marrying his daughter Helga. Gorm and Helga believe Vagn to be Toste and refuse to listen to Vagn as to who he is. Helga still remembers Toste calling her Helga the Homely from years ago. This book is hilarious, laugh out loud funny. I recommend it if you like humor and romance together.

Take of two Viking
Yes, quite a journey it was and a worthy one. I love this story, well written humor . . . Lord rotting-clock my favorite. Finding myself laughing out loud in the dead of night. Unable to place the tale of two Viking down thank god I started it on a weekend. The tears did come when the brothers rekindle. Sandra keep the humor in the storytelling and Bolthor's poems. His poems enrich the storyline.

Good Story
This was a good book. It was like reading two stories in one book, but they intwined with each other. I would liked to have given it a 3 1/2 star only because the stories were alittle slow starting I thought. Over-all I would reccomend this book to others for a good story to read. It did hold my attention and I couldn't put it down. Onto the next in the series...Wet andWild...

Great read
Absolutely great read! Sandra Hill has done it again, providing a book intertwining love and laughter. This book is bound to bring a smile to your face, and reminds you how light hearted a relationship can be. Put aside all the worries of the day and laugh with the love of your life. Well, at least have humorous thoughts while in the same room as your significant other, as you'll see the heroes do frequently throughout this great read. Enjoy!

Good read.....
This was a good story about twin brothers, Vikings. They end up in a battle both assumed dead by each other. They find and fall in love after each are found still alive on the battlefield by different families. They are both nursed back to health and reunited. Good story. I recommend this story.

A sweet read.
I always enjoy Sandra Hill's novels. This one is another good one, I was looking forward to Toste and Vagn's story. Those two are double Viking trouble, so definitely recommended if you like her novels.
