The Valkyrie and the Marine

De: jj Keller

Narrado por: Stephen Floyd

As a Valkyrie, Kiara of Asgard must look beyond the man to select only the best warriors to fight for Odin. But all her training deserts her when she sees Special Ops Marine Harrison Lombard. Unable to resist him, she saves his life on the battlefield instead of taking him to Valhalla. For her disloyalty, she's given five days as a human while Odin decides her fate.

During a mission in North Korea, Harrison's Force Reconnaissance team is ambushed. Critically wounded, he's straddled by a magnificent blonde wearing a helmet of feathers who eliminates his pain. Before he can find out who she is, she's gone. When she turns up in the States months later, he can hardly believe his luck - or the fire burning between them.

But Odin still has a claim on Harrison's soul. Will his angel of mercy save him again? Or has she come to collect?

Story is 1 star but the narration is MINUS 1.

Here’s a new one, “Crimson blood seeped into his potato-blond hair.” Really? Potato-blond? WTH made the author compare his hair to a potato? Cray-cray if you ask me.

Also, it was only 69 pages, thank God, and there were too many pages taken up with sex itself, then thinking about sex, and then wanting sex.

The couple fell in love the second they met, with him dying, but didn’t, thanks to her, on the battle field. Then they didn’t see each other for months and in that time Harrison figured out that she was a Valkyrie. Seriously? He got it from the internet. Ugh!

It was, all around, a silly novella, and I'm glad it wasn't any longer than it was.

So, pages of sex, or thoughts of, in these 69 pages and the F-bomb was used 8 times.

As to the narration: Just awful! Stephen Floyd never changed his voice so it was like only men were in the novella. AND not one emotion showed. He read like a robot. He should never read a romance. Between the story and the narrator the whole experience was a nightmare. I mean, really, Harrison was shot in the head and should be dead and Kiara is sitting on his erection, yes erection, and he's talking in a normal voice, like there was nothing wrong with him. Again, Ugh!
