I liked this book, it was heart warming. It was a bit frustrating at times because it seemed to drag a bit, but overall I enjoyed it!

From the beginning this book is fabulous. It's the point of view of twin Vikings following a terrible loss on the battle field. Each assume the other has died as there is an empty space in the mind of each twin. Very humorous, sad, romantic and uplifting. Never give up hope is the lesson to be learned here.

LOVED THIS BOOK!!!It was so full of surprises, that I couldn't put it down!
Toste and Vagn are twin Vikings. They enter into a battle and each other thinks the other is dead because of the massive wounds they receive. One will be found by another Viking, and the other will be found by nun's. The twins are still linked mentally but doubt what they feel.
This was a fun book that had me laughing out loud, and smiling while I read. A must read!

I love this book about the Twin Viking brothers. The outrageous ways they court their woman makes my toes curl. LMAO This book a fun and funny to read. The author has such a humor about her. The inbetween paragraphs or points of view she did the cutest thing like give them little titles or smart ass comments from an outsider. LOL I now have to hunt and find all her other viking books. I am sold. I love Balthor the Skald!! His stories and Poems make me double over in laughter.

Two Vikings, Toste and Vagn Ivarsson, twins so identical that only a tiny birthmark differentiates them, find themselves in a battle to the death on their way to pillage a convent. Each brother believes the other to be dead, but each has been saved by a very different angel of mercy. Toste is under the care of Esme, a novice who doesn't trust men. After all, her own father and brothers keep trying to kill her for her inheritance. Vagn finds himself at the mercy of "Helga the Homely," who suffered years of teasing because of the nickname Toste gave her, and she's not real fond of Vagn, either. Once again, Hill has come through with a Viking romance guaranteed to bring on the giggles. Two strong warriors are surprised at the combativeness of women in the war of the sexes, and Sex and the City goes Norse as Viking gals conduct down-and-dirty, and often hilarious, conversations about men. Throw in a five-legged pig, a very odd order of nuns, and a troubadour who sings bawdy songs, and you get quintessential Hill--outrageous, side-splitting, funny-bone-tickling entertainment

What do you get when you take two identical twin Vikings, pair them with some feisty ladies and throw in several large servings of absurdity and sex? The newest Viking romance from Hill (The Very Virile Viking, etc.). Although Hill is known for the fresh, funny, contemporary feel of her Viking romances, readers may overdose on the over-the-top antics she dishes up here. Exiled from their father's estate for their immature ways, Toste and Vagn Ivarsson have joined a band of warring Norsemen in Saxon lands. Just when they decide it's time to grow up and return to their country, a terrible battle finds them separated, each thinking the other dead. The lusty Vikings rebound quickly and soon find themselves chasing after the most unlikely women. Esme, Toste's shapely nurse/novice nun, heats his blood. Vagn, meanwhile, pursues hot-tempered Helga the Homely, the daughter of his Viking rescuer. Vagn lures her into bed many times over, despite her desire to be an independent woman, while Esme and Toste take turns tying each other up and having their way with each other. Each page is bawdier than the next, but Hill doesn't grant her characters much in the way of intelligence. Still, it's hard not to be happy for the "lackwit" Viking twins when they're finally reunited.

It is good, just I don't like the characters.

Twin Viking brothers both wounded in battle, and each thinking the other is dead. A light, fun story, though we don't get quite as deeply into the characters as in Hill's other stories. Can't delve into the personalities as much when she has to cover both brothers. Toste is rescued by a nun, or almost a nun. And Vagn sees his brother as being attacked by huge black crows (the nuns). While Vagn is under the care of Helga who wants a child but not a husband so seeks advice/lessons from a chambermaid. You'll laugh through this book. I love Hill's humor!!
