Reese Johnson regrets not following her dream to become a comic book artist.  When she’s not working as a manger at Gotham City Comics, she’s wasting her time indulging in RPGs (Role Playing Games).   Her troubles start when she’s drawn into a different game engineered by Loki, Norse God of Mischief.   The next thing she knows, Reese is back in time on a mission, courtesy of Loki, that involves a Viking Warlord, Eirik Sigurdsson.

Eirik’s life has been nothing but hardship.  He’s struggled to make a place for himself in the world, and has learned the meaning of betrayal from people close to him.  His instincts tell him that Reese is special, and from the first moment, there’s no turning back for him. 

There are two major points I’d like to make about this story.  First, I really like time-travel stories.  For a while this was a genre I couldn’t get enough of, and it seems I still have a weakness for this kind of story, provided the heroine is as interesting as the protagonist of Outlander, or close.  Reese was assertive, resilient, and interesting enough to keep me reading.   Eirik is a mountain of Viking eye candy with enough substance that he doesn’t dissolve when it rains.

Last, I’m a sucker for mythology and historical detail.   Frozen in Time worked the best of both ends.   Plus, the plot twist featuring Loki isn’t a bad touch.  There’s tragedy, romance, and graphic sex.   By the time you get to the cute HEA, you won’t remember that I said, “I told you so,” because you’ll be too busy grinning.
