Summary: gender bender

However, when her father in injured, Tyra vows to return home with the best healer available. She and her men visit physician Adam the Healer, but he insists he is retired and refuses to accompany Tyra back to her father. As he watches her men take bets making her an overwhelming favorite, Tyra knocks Adam out, tosses him on her shoulder, and leaves. To his chagrin, Adam is very attracted to the amazon though he would prefer to bar her scratching habits. He agrees to try to save the life of her father if she sleeps with him. Her sisters notice the lure between Adam and Tyra and play matchmaker hoping to marry off their older sister so they can find spouses too. Her men want a gentler Viking leader hem into battle help. However, Tyra has other plans leaving a frustrated suitor to heal his own heart as he fails at his quest of becoming the warrior's spouse. Sandra Hill, known for her Viking tales, provides a gender bender novel starring a literally strong warrior heroine though her beloved is bigger and taller; as audacious as this might sound for romance novels, this seems wrong for this plot. The story line is action packed and loaded with the customary humor expected from Ms. Hill with the secondary characters furbishing much of the amusement with their desperate measures to make Tyra a wife. Fans of Viking tales will relish the uniqueness of MY FAIR VIKING. Harriet Klausner

Summary: If you love Sandra Hill's Vikings...read on...
Review: We have watched waif/orphan Adam grow since we met him in "The Outlaw Viking". Now 30, he is a Physician, well-trained in the Eastlands...he has lost his beloved sister, Adele, to the Plague and cannot forgive his inability to save her. For two years, his harem-brained friend, Rashad, has tried to draw Adam out of his self-imposed reclusive, and celebate, lifestyle with little success. Along comes Viking/Amazonian Warrior/Princess Tyra, who needs his medical expertise to aid her Father, the King, who has been injured in battle. Adam refuses, claiming he no longer practises medicine. She picks him up, throws him over her shoulder ,unwilling though he is, hauls him off to her her Father's bedside. These "opposites" are somewhat attracted to one another and they wager for further familiarity contingent on if the King lives or dies. Tyra has four sisters who cannot marry until she, the oldest, does...each of them extraordinarily gifted and eager to wed...and she is determined not to marry, thinking herself too big and not beautiful. Adam, on the other hand, is turned-on by her muscular and skilled Viking attributes. Enter our old friends, Adam's Step-uncle Tykir, his wife Alinor, and all their children (from "The Bewitched Viking)and the romp begins! What with Adam's family and Tyra's family,a few endearing Orphans, our old friend, Bolthor (the funny & talentless skald)...all determined on the match, our Hero and Heroine don't have a chance. From the very first book in the Sandra Hill's Viking Series, her stories are all about "family" and the love and support(or interference, as the case may be!)that family brings...sometimes wanted, sometimes unwanted, but always funny and heartwarming. You will like this book but you really must read them all. I, personally,miss the time-travel aspect of the first two books, but that would be my only disappointment.
