laceyfrance's review against another edition

I had a hard time getting past the fact that the hero in this book hit the heroine in the previous book then had the nerve to be offended when the heroine in this book was afraid he’d hit her. He kept saying he’d never hit a woman but in the previous book he hit that heroine hard enough to mark her face. Did he develop amnesia sometime between the two books?

I found this book at a used bookstore. A friend and I like to go and find outrageous covers and this did not disappoint. So I found it, giggled, but it back and immediately regretted not getting it.
I went and found this at my library and I’m so glad I did. This book was hilarious. It’s a silly premise and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. It takes place in historical Scotland but it is very aware that it’s fan fiction of actual Scottish history. And honestly I just love that. It’s nice to see a book take a historical setting and make it funny without worrying too much on historical accuracy.
If you’re looking for a funny “historical” fiction. - this is for you.

I was stripping mass markets last week and came across this one - once I read the jacket copy I knew I had to read it: hot Viking bags Scotswoman (a witch, of course), leaves her and receives a blue zig-zag on his face in retaliation; searches for like three years for her to make her remove the mark, finds her, decides to punish her by having lots of mind-blowing sex with her (if that's a punishment, sign me up!), and [spoiler] not only saves her clan from a murderous rival clan (in a fight you'd miss if you blinked) but decides he loves her and would rather have a blue zigzag and stay with her than a pretty face and leave her.[/spoiler]
After my Eloisa James binge I expect mostly-coherent plots and writing. And no anachronisms. There were so many anachronisms and odd sex talk that I laughed my way through it.
Vain Vikings aren't hot, they're just vain. And boring.

Setelah kemunculannya di Bewitched Viking, Ruric si Tykir BFF lumayan menarik perhatian karena kebenciannya dengan sosok penyihir. Dan seperti pada umumnya dia kena karma. Setelah menyakiti hati salah satu gadisnya yang ternyata seorang penyihir, gadis itu mengecat wajahnya dengan garis biru yang sudah pasti menodai ketampanannya. Putri Viking yang di lamarnya memberi syarat garis itu harus dihilangkan sebelum mereka bisa menikah. Dan di mulailah perjalanan panjang Ruric ke tanah Scotlandia untuk berburu penyihir spesial.
Seperti bisa di duga, plot buku ini simple dan standar banget. Nyaris tidak ada twist baru dan konflik yang mendebarkan. Karaktet Ruric juga menurutku tidak di gali mendalam, kelakuannya khas Viking SH dan latar belakang ngenesnya tidak menyentuh seperti kisah hidup Selik.
Setting Scotlandia yang tampil beda tidak digambarkan dengan maksimal. Joke-joke slapsticknya juga tidak menawarkan hal baru. Ketertarikan Ruric dan Maire juga sukar dipercaya, cinta mereka tak terasa sampai akhir. Pernikahan mereka juga terasa dipaksakan. Unsur bahwa romace mereka dibangun dari status Ruric yang sudah bertunangan juga sama sekali tidak membantu.
My rating :
Star : 2.5/5

Utter fluffy bodice ripper and rather graphic. Bit of a laugh.
