An INTRIGUING combo of romance, history & a touch of sci-fi w/the time travel piece...Thor is EXTREMELY protective of Willow and Willow's innocence is sweet and CAPTIVATING...I did encounter a few slow patches which is why it took me a minute to finish; but I MUST say I'm glad I didn't TOTALLY give up on this book completely...ended up being a CHARMING romance after all. I'd DEFINITELY read more from this author.
