Summary: Two strong novellas
Review: "Lord Steele". In 1000 A.D., Viking Queen Silke angrily wonders what the gods have in store for her as she is escorted by her brother Aragon by ship from Iceland to Scotia to wed a Scottish barbarian as a means of ending the constant invasions. When a storm sinks her vessel, Silke blames her future spouse. The Viking warrior queen makes it to land, but is captured by the Scots, who take the irate Silke to their liege, Lord Steele. He realizes who she is and is delighted for he desires his prisoner queen. However, seduction may not prove enough to gain her love even when she becomes the warden and he the prisoner.

"Lady Thunder". In 1000AD Iceland, Thora O'Donnahue is expected to sacrifice her happiness in order to marry the abusive Viking Ragnald Bluetooth so that he and his horde will stop raiding what is left of her debilitated clan. Irate that she is wedding his enemy who almost felled his sister Silke, Aragon the shapeshifting berserker seeks vengeance against Bluetooth. He captures Thora and forces her to marry him as a slap at Bluetooth. As the newlyweds hide their paranormal secrets from one another, they fall in love, but Bluetooth is coming and does not care who dies in his path.

The two sibling novellas are powerful historical romances filled with vivid descriptions that cleverly fit into the fabulous story lines. The tales are so picturesque; fans will feel wet from the ocean storms. The two pairs of lead couples are solid and a pinch of the paranormal adds flavoring so that medieval readers will appreciate these strong interrelated novellas by a very talented writer.

Summary: If you are into Vikings like me, you will LOVE it!
Review: Leslie Burbank has done an amazing job on this two part series. My favorite is Lord Steele, but they are both great. Silke is a Viking Queen that is a fabulous heroine. Ms. Burbank really knows how to write a love scene. She has the right amount of conflict and passion to equal one sexy hot read! I have a thing for sexy Viking books, and there are not that many good ones out there. You won't regret buying this book!!!

Summary: Amazing Debut
Review: Leslie Burbank has shown enormous strength as a writer with her debut novella duet. The two stories meld together to form one continuous story. In Lord Steele, Silke is a warrior queen with the determination of ten men, but it only takes one to bring out the woman in her.

In Lady Thunder we meet Aragon, Silke's brother, who just happens to be a beserker. But the wolf in him is no match against the woman who soothes the mighty beast and steals his heart.

Full of action and sizzling with passion, Leslie Burbank has done an outstanding job of bringing to life a set of characters you won't soon forget, or want to.

Summary: A Romantic Set Of Stories You Won't Want To Miss!!!
Review: To Tame a Viking is a book that includes two different stories about one family, a brother and a sister. The stories are romantic and fanciful and set in Scotland, Ireland, and Iceland.

These were fast paced stories that were fun to read and entertaining. The chemistry and romance between the main characters Silke and Steel in "Lord Steele" was wonderful as was the romance between Aragon and Thora in "Lady Thunder." Ms. Burbank is a great author, and she gives attention to details that help place you in the time period that she is writing about. I look forward to reading more of her stories in the future!
