Amy O'Connor's All I Want for Christmas Is… a Viking? adds a tiny hint of the fantasy genre to this enchantingly humorous erotic romance. I was intrigued by the title and thought perhaps I could find out how to get my very own Viking for Christmas.

Holly thought it was going to be a normal Christmas Eve, but when her boyfriend stands her up she spends the night drowning her sorrows in a large quantity of rum punch. To make matters worse she hears someone trying to break into her home.

All instincts telling her to protect herself, she expertly renders the intruder unconscious on her living room floor. Taking a closer look at him, she wasn't so sure she should have hit him so hard. With his broad muscular chest, large powerful legs, and handsome face he most certainly would have been more fun if he were conscious!

Little does Holly know that Erik will make her repay him several times over for that knock on the head. Not a man to take "no" for an answer, he shows her again and again how much she would have missed if she had damaged him permanently by giving her a most welcome present.

Ms. O'Connor's book, All I Want for Christmas Is…a Viking? gives the gift of romance and sensuality wrapped up in a neat package for all of us to open. With plenty of moments to melt the winter snow, you won't want to miss this sexy read. One thing is for sure; you will never look at your chimney the same way again.
