I'd do nothing but reading if I could (ok, maybe eat some great food, buy some fancy shoes between two books...oh, and spend some quality time with the gorgeous guy I married while I am on reading-break anyway...)
You had me at "immortal Viking"...
I have a weakness for Vikings, hunky blond guys, the whole works.
Nonetheless I was sceptical that a contemporary military romance with an immortal viking would work. It sounded kind of like a joke.
It wasn't.
It was a very well written romance, which didn't pull its punches. Meaning: life is throwing stuff at those two people (the immortal Viking and the lady doctor) without any miraculous solutions for the HEA.
I liked that a lot.
I loved Wulf. He was yummy and vulnerable and mysterious and great. Dr. Chiesa I couldn't really understand. She was a little too constructed.
(show spoiler)
The atmosphere, the setting in Afghanistan and also the side characters were well done.
I am very much looking forward to the next book in the series.
