SUMMARY: [From barnesandnoble.com] STAG PARTY Dane Hearne -- also known as the Irish fertility god Cernunnos -- must choose a bride quickly. His long-time goddess has run off with a salsa dancer, and Dane must be married by Beltane, just a week away, or become a mortal -- and die. When he meets American travel writer Megan St. Clair, he knows he's found his soul mate. But while Dane is a sexy Irish hunk with his fair share of blarney, can he convince Megan to marry him in just one week?
NORSE TRULY Alrik Sigurdsson is cursed to sail his Viking ship along the same stretch of Scandinavian coastline forever. So when lovely American Brynna Lund skids her car off the road into the ocean, he and his men are happy for the diversion of rescuing her. Then Alrik discovers that Brynna is the only woman who can break the curse. Is it any wonder that he's determined to keep her...forever?
THOUGHTS: I was hoping to finish the book before the new year so that I could start off 2009 on the right reading foot. I failed. So did this book.
MacAlister has not been able to do anything right in my eyes lately. All of her recent books have been horrendous reads. Gone is the realistic zaniness. It has been replaced the author trying too hard to be funny. In fact, her books strike me as if they are now being written by a college freshman who is overly impressed with his or her own "unique" work... when, in reality, it's been done... and done better at that.
On the upside, the first story is told completely from the hero's point of view. That was at least interesting.
RATING: 3/10 [Poor, Lost Interest]
