Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
I won. I, Loki, stole the magical ring right out from under Odin's and Thor's noses. Right before a little minx stole it from me. I outsmarted them all. I tricked my brother and father, and even my water-dragon son, sending them on a ridiculous chase while I slipped out the back door. I nearly got caught--twice--but in the end, I possessed the prize--the magical Andvaranaut, a god's ring that allows me to hide out on Earth as long as I wish. Then she came along. That little human thief took it right off me, in broad daylight, in the bustling markets of Nepal, without me feeling an Asgardian thing. I'm onto her now though, hot on her trail and closing in. I'll get that deliciously devilish girl if it's the last thing I do. Even if that means punishing her in ways both of us might enjoy. Perhaps especially if it means that, now that I've gotten a good look at the little minx. The more I learn about this Lia Winchester, professional thief, proficient liar, brilliant escape artist, and unbelievably sexy mortal, the more I find myself wanting to draw out this chase, to savor it... perhaps to even partner with her on a heist of our own. It's been a long time since anyone's managed to surprise me. I think it's only right that I return the favor. * LOKI is book #2 in Gods on Earth, a fun paranormal romance and urban fantasy series, ideal for people who want a light romp to Asgard, mischievous gods falling for unwitting humans and battling over magical objects, not to mention dragons, magical wolves, grumpy witches, and a dose of wicked trickster games.

The Arthur of the North

Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
The book introduces the reader to the stories about King Arthur and his knights and the lovers Tristan and Isolt that flourished in the Scandinavian countries-in Denmark, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden-in the Middle Ages and in early modern times. The versions of the Arthurian legend that were popular in the North were translations of mostly French literature. Although they were similar to their sources in many respects, the stories nonetheless underwent change in order to appeal to a culturally quite different audience in the North.

Viking in Wonderland Magnus Ericsson is a simple man. He loves the smell of fresh-turned dirt after springtime plowing. He loves the feel of a soft woman under him in the bed furs.

Pages : 261
Book Description
Mad about you His boat off course, distracted by a randy she-whale whose infatuation had somehow thrust him into the twenty-first century, Jorund Ericsson thought he’d found heaven when he caught sight of the comely wench with the man-hair and the kiss-some lips. The lovely doctor, however, simply thought Jorund insane—even as she drove the befuddled Viking crazy with her enticing figure. He leapt from the water and into Maggie’s life, all sinewy muscles in a flawlessly proportioned body, a swath of long blond hair swept back from his brow. His claim to be a Viking from the tenth century made her smile. But it wasn’t laughter that caused her stomach to flutter when the Hercules look-alike claimed her lips. And soon he had her believing his story and questioning her own sanity—though the psychologist realized there was another possibility. They were, neither of them, truly mad . . . simply truly, madly in love.

Seven Viking Romances
Author:
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0141966807
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
Combining traditional myth, oral history and re-worked European legend to depict an ancient realm of heroism and wonder, the seven tales collected here are among the most fantastical of all the Norse romances. Powerfully inspired works of Icelandic imagination, they relate intriguing, often comical tales of famous kings, difficult gods and women of great beauty, goodness or cunning. The tales plunder a wide range of earlier literature from Homer to the French romances - as in the tale of the wandering hero Arrow-Odd, which combines several older legends, or Egil and Asmund, where the story of Odysseus and the Cyclops is skilfully adapted into a traditional Norse legend. These are among the most outrageous, delightful and exhilarating tales in all Icelandic literature.

To Love a God
Author: Evie Kent
Publisher: Liz Meldon Writes
ISBN: 9781989261163
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
I spent my whole life training to become a ballet dancer-a soloist, a star. Today, I'm a toy, a plaything, a distraction... An offering. A sacrifice to a caged god, to the Norse trickster. Loki. Trapped in a cave for the sins of his past, he waits for the end of days. Modern worshippers curry favor with gifts and trinkets, spilled blood-and women like me. Women who resemble his long-dead wife. We all have that look, you see. I'm supposed to be flattered that I remind him of a goddess in an age gone by. Screw that. I'm furious. The ones who came before me were sweet, docile, compliant-just like her. But I'm not sweet. I'm not docile, and I will never be compliant. I am resilient. I am determined. I am-not-drawn to him. I will survive this. I will survive him. My name is Nora Olsen, and I will not die here. To Love a God is a full-length standalone soft dark paranormal romance novel set in the Lily of the Valley universe. Each book in the series can be read on its own, but characters will occasionally pop up in other stories. No cliffhangers. Always a happy ending-because even villains deserve a happily-ever-after.
