i really, truly can't say enough about how awful this book is. and it's a series. it has almost a five star review on amazon. i read the back blurb and was so effing flabbergasted that i thought i just had to read it, it couldn't be that bad (like so bad it's good... or a good, old fashioned hate-read). and i was right, it isn't that bad. it's so, so much worse.

in case anyone is interested, this is the description on the back:
New York Times bestselling author Sandra Hill continues her sexy Deadly Angels series, as a Viking vangel’s otherworldly mission pairs him with a beautiful chef who whets his thousand-year-old appetite . . .
Once guilty of the deadly sin of gluttony, thousand-year-old Viking vampire angel Cnut Sigurdsson is now a lean, mean, vampire-devil fighting machine. His new side-job? No biggie: just ridding the world of a threat called ISIS while keeping the evil Lucipires (demon vampires) at bay. So when chef Andrea Stewart hires him to rescue her sister from a cult recruiting terrorists at a Montana dude ranch, vangel turns cowboy. Yeehaw!
The too-tempting mortal insists on accompanying him, surprising Cnut with her bravery at every turn. But with terrorists stalking the ranch in demonoid form, Cnut teletransports Andrea and himself out of danger—accidentally into the tenth-century Norselands. Suddenly, they have to find their way back to the future to save her family and the world . . . and to satisfy their insatiable attraction.

How nuclear do you want to go? I've never actually read this book but reading the back cover literally made me decide to start writing again (because if THAT got published...)
Read the back. Please.

I misremembered, she was a chef, not a cupcake baker. And the Viking Vampire Angel also was a cowbow, briefly.
This insanity is a real, published, paperback book.
The author is a NYT bestseller, and that’s the book they wrote. I don’t mean that in a bad way at all. That sounds like ridiculous, awesome fun.
Sometimes you have to let go of being “”””good”””” and let your enthusiasm become infectious.
Re-did all my covers to go with that alien theme that's popping up in a lot of dragon romances now. Looking for feedback on cover/blurb. Word count yesterday was 18k, I stayed up for 24 hours and rarely ate/drank and published without proofreading like I do for all my stories. I'm lazy and adderall is great.

another possibility might be Lina Potter's Medieval Tale where a modern woman goes back to alt medieval (non-magical) world and kicks butt
the romance doesn't really start till the most recent book, but the setup is there right from the beginning
His Viking Bride by Olivia Norem, narrated by Greg Patmore. I wanted to try out a new romance author, and truth to be told, I like this story.
It was "The Pirate's Pleasure" and this is a link to it on Amazon, I read it as a teen so can't guarantee it's not awful now but I have fond memories of Skye being taken and ravaged by this dude lol
