The blue Viking
496 pages
A bawdy, laugh-out-loud historical romp where a cursed, grumpy warrior chases down the fiery witch who bruised his ego.
What it feels like
Reading this book feels like stepping into a bawdy, slapstick medieval comedy where historical accuracy takes a backseat to sheer entertainment. The pace is brisk and bouncy, driven by a grumpy warrior's hilariously frustrating quest across Scotland. The tone is irreverent and playful, leaning into cheeky romance tropes, exaggerated masculine pride, and farcical travel mishaps involving bad poetry and bagpipes. It is a lighthearted romp rather than a gritty historical epic, wrapping its enemies-to-lovers dynamic in a warm, comedic atmosphere. The prose is breezy and unapologetically silly, making it a perfect escape for readers who delight in historical romantic comedies featuring fierce but easily flustered heroes and the clever women who bring them to their knees.

About the book
What in the name of Thor could be making this Viking so blue? - Eating haggis? - Listening to those insufferable bagpipes? - Traveling through Scotland with the world's worst poet? - Searching for the infuriatingly inept witch who's cursed his face... and even more important parts?
For Rurik the Viking, life has not been worth living since he left Maire of the Moors. Oh, it's not that he misses her fiery red tresses or kissome lips. Nay, it's the embarrassing blue zigzag she put on his face after their one wild night of loving. For a fierce warrior who prides himself on his immense height, his expertise in bedsport, and his well-honed muscles, this blue streak is the last straw. In the end, he'll bring the witchling to heel, or die trying. Mayhap he'll even beg her to wed... so long as she can promise he'll no longer be... the Blue Viking.
