The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . VIKING'S RANSOM (Viking Ancestors: Rise of the Dragon, #4) . . . If you thought you were in love with the other hot sexy hunks of this Rise of the Dragon series then you need to be prepared to fall all out head over heels for Eirik. I love these stories most because it mixes in the past and future, the strength of history, lore, and legend, with romance so strong. We got shifters with secrets and determination. Kenzie was a trooper. Eirik you get to see a lot more of. The bread crumbs from before are nothing. I have to say that I even enjoyed aspect of the character Hel. She was a devious one but she was necessary.
Sky Purington seems to deliver to me what I was missing when I was not sure what it was that I was missing. I love reading her series and getting glimpses at more characters that I am sure we will run in to later on down the line. The series has given me one of my most favorite shifters, dragons. I am a lover of her writing and characters. The settings bring you to varies times and cultures.

Kenzie is determined to be there for her sisters no matter what it takes. Even if it means giving herself over to her fated mate, Viking Eirik Sigdir. When she ends up traveling through time to tenth century Scandinavia, she’s ready for whatever comes her way. Until a chance encounter with Hel, the Goddess of Helheim, who has long loved Eirik.
Having recognized Kenzie from the moment he saw her picture in the twenty-first century, Eirik realizes the time has finally come. A secret close to the heart is about to be revealed, and the stunning red-head is the only person capable of protecting what matters to him most.
Unfortunately, Hel has already stolen Kenzie away. Now he needs to convince the goddess to give him back his bargaining chip because of a little-known prophecy. One that foretells he must offer up the woman he loves as ransom to get back what has been taken from him.

Excerpt
“I am not trying
to seduce you,” he said softly. “I just thought you would like to bathe and
relax after what we experienced earlier.” He eyed their surroundings. The moss
covered rock and towering pines blowing in the wind. “This place is soothing,
is it not?”
“It is,” she
said just as softly, her eyes on him as he pulled off his boots. “But
considering your behavior with Einnar, more so me, I really don’t think us
getting naked together is going to help matters.”
Probably not but
he was going to anyway and hoped she would too.
“I will not
touch you, Kenzie,” he assured as he pulled off his jerkin and turned around.
“And I will not look your way until you’re in the water.”
“But you’ll
peek,” she countered.
“Not if you
don’t want me to,” he replied, perfectly honest.
He didn’t miss
the humor in her voice nor the sound of her pulling off her own boots. “You’ve
changed since I met you…and that wasn’t all that long ago.”
“Can you blame
me?” He yanked off his pants. “It’s an indescribable feeling being near people
again without affecting them adversely.” He searched for the right words. Ones
that didn’t sound too affectionate or caring. “It is…a true honor to be near
you.”
“An honor?” she
murmured before muttering under her breath, “I’d say the honor’s all mine.”
He couldn’t stop
a small smile, well aware she wasn’t referring to being near him but admiring
his backside. Seconds later, the scent of her arousal hit him, and he bit back
a groan.
“Are you in the
water yet, Kenzie?” he said over his shoulder.
A few moments
later he heard splashing before she said, “Yup.”
Though he should
probably tell her to look away too because there was no stopping his erection,
he couldn’t bring himself to do it. He had not lain with Hel in far too long
let alone felt her eyes on him. A woman’s eyes. So he strolled right in well
aware that though Kenzie tried to avert her eyes, she was failing miserably.
“Hell, you’re
not making this easy on me, are you?” she muttered as her cheeks flushed pink
and her dragon eyes flared.
He bit back
another grin at the numerous flattering thoughts flitting through her mind. How
impressed she was with everything he had to offer. How much she'd like to touch
him. To see if his muscles were as solid as they looked. By the time he lowered
into the water, her dragon eyes were outright sizzling.
“Is the water to
your liking?” he asked, trying not to stare at her slender shoulders. Trying
not to imagine how soft her luminous wet skin must be. How silky she would feel
against him. What was hidden from him underwater.
