*Features* Cover Type: Paperback with 272 pages Published by: Pocket March 7, 2006 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 1416516123 ISBN 13 Number: 978-1416516125 Book Dimensions: 8.2 x 5.4 x 0.9 inches Weighs: 8.5 ounces *From Publishers Weekly* In this purposefully over-the-top romp, Black goes in-depth on the underground Viking society that played bit parts in Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down. Sick of the superficiality of Tinsel Town, Hollywood starlet Madalyn Simon escapes to a remote village in Alaska. All is idyllic in her new environs until she and her visiting sister Drake are taken hostage by a medieval underworld society of Vikings called New Sweden. Separated from her sister, and forced to marry her captor, Otar Thordsson, Madalyn soon finds herself with serious Stockholm syndrome, wishing to escape, and yet falling inexplicably in love with her captor. Rambunctious and ribald, Black creates a captivating fantasy, replete with hulky enemies, twisty intrigue, steamy sex, and even some intimate reflections. Madalyn's human quirks and deficiencies, and disbelief at the absurdities of underworld life, are belied by her astute perceptions. Blithe and bubbly, Black cannot be faulted for her imagination.

Fed up with Hollywood backstabbing, famous movie actress Madalyn Simon decided to escape the spotlight. Her new back-to-basics existence in an Alaskan cabin did take getting used to, but at least she was in control of her own destiny -- or so she thought. While snowmobiling on the frigid coast with her sister, the pair is taken hostage by a band of rough men who want them -- for reasons beyond imagining. A captive in a world of inescapable seductions. They are neo-Vikings from a hidden underworld, in search of women Outsiders to breed for the New Sweden clan. Their sexy leader, Otar, wants only one woman: Madalyn. Overpowered by his masculine strength and unmasked desire, Madalyn must become Otar's wife or face the marriage auction block. Now, in a world beyond dreams and as real as the hot flesh of her enticing warrior-husband, Madalyn discovers the power of an all-consuming passion -- as the fires of revolution threaten all she has come to love. *Reader Reviews* I can take an unlikely plot line with the best of them and thoroughly enjoy a fantastical story, but Jaid Black's latest book had me groaning in disappointment. Tall, dark and sexy Vikings...yes, please! A hero that is kind, considerate and all the previous things mentioned....oh, yeeeessss, definitely please! A heroine that is spunky as well as funny - okay, that's a plus as well, but I weep, utterly weep, for the plot of "Tall, Dark and Dangerous" by Jaid Black. Madalyn Simon has had it with Hollywood. Sick of the thinly veiled veneer of cutthroat backstabbing, the actress is calling it quits and going into seclusion. She's going where no glitzy glamour girl has gone before - the Alaskan wilderness. She's determined to tough it and prove to herself that she's got more in her than just fear of broken nails and the next red carpet party. When her feisty, anti-establishment sister visits, the two are in for an unforeseen adventure in the form of three too-handsome-to-be-true fur-clad men, who take them hostage. Otar Thordssen claims Madalyn for his own and soon the sisters are in for the strangest experience of their lives - A hidden underground world of "neo" Vikings that seem literally to be throwbacks to days of old. In a world where women have no choices beyond those that a man gives them, can Madalyn learn to trust, and even love, her dangerously sexy man? She'll need to decide quickly, for war is stirring within the secret community and the rebels are eager to reclaim their rightful places in their archaic society. There were so many facets to this story that I loved. Black can seriously write some great intimate scenes between characters that make you feel for them. That part, I'm relieved to say, lived up to expectations. I enjoyed the characters, both the main and supporting. Otar was to-die-for sexy and Madalyn was a good match for him with her forgiving nature. Madalyn's sister, Drake, was superb comic relief, and it seems Otar's sister, Agata, may be getting her own story. She should. She was interesting. What I must bemoan is the collapse of the plot. It was evident by the end of the book that Black means this to be a prequel of sorts to her series "Death Row: The Trilogy", which was interesting because it shed some more light on that particular storyline. I couldn't continue to take the story seriously though as Madalyn, Drake and Agata engage in a completely ridiculous scenario towards the end. Won't reveal anything. Suffice it to say there was nudity and money involved, and three women I previously thought of as very intelligent turned into three average twits. Not to mention that it completely took away and detracted from a plot that I was immensely enjoying up until that point. Big Grr. Three stars for a sexy romp of a read (that part was excellent!), minus the last two (sobbing and weeping) for the plot that went sour. Comments (2) \| \| (Report this) Back To Top
