charming, steamy, and entertaining

This was a fun collection of tales involving all sorts of magic and Viking hotties as the brothers each learn to adapt to their respectively cursed lives and find love in the process. The author was quite creative in both the plots and the curses, and the characters she wrote about were lively and seemed real. I was given the opportunity to listen to this collection in exchange for leaving my review, but this did not affect my rating. I listened to it at 2.3x speed.

Very Entertaining!

This book is very entertaining, I really enjoyed it! Can you imagine 5 brothers each with their own curse? The narration was superb and gave that extra flair to the story. This was my first book by this author but definitely will not be my last. It was great to get all their stories in this book. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Her Elemental Viking Collection 5 Books

The Authors were so creative in writing about these four brothers that were cursed by a witch over 1,000 years ago. The Viking brothers were being influenced by their father which was a horrible ruthless man. They were raiding a village and just killing anyone on their path. Each story is very unique. I have never heard anything like it. Each brother was cursed a different way. They were immortal but had to live in their cursed state.

The first book is about Mikkel named "Her Fiery Viking". Mikkel is hot tempered and every time he gets angry there is a chance of him burning anything and anyone around him. It is specially hard for him to control himself due to his short temper. He meets a women just as hot tempered as he is. Has he met his match?

The second book is about about Bram named "Her Steamy Viking". Bram has been cursed and become water. He cannot communicate but he has feelings and can understand the world around him. He has been alone for too long until a witch shows up in his waters. She is gorgeous and he falls for her immediately. This is one of my favorite stories from this collection!

The third book is about Erik named "Her Winged Viking". This is my least favorite story because he is so indecisive. He was cursed with broken wings that makes him very insecure. He has loved a women for many years but they continue to only be friends. Is he worthy of her?

The forth book is about Carr named "Her Hard Rock Viking". Carr was transformed into an island. He can talk and shift things around like grow trees and mold rocks. He can change the configuration of the island. He can feel but is trapped as being an Island. Hardly anyone has been there but the few pirates & random man ran away from the island as soon as he tried to talk to them. But then a beautiful women jumped from an airplane towards his island. This is another favorite story from this collection.

The fifth book is called "Her Christmas Viking". The brothers are free of the curse and unite after over 1,000 years and an unpleasant surprise shows up as well...

I loved the adventures and intrigue. This is a mature book so if you like details about what is going on when things get heated you will enjoy these tales.

The Narrator did a great job bringing the story to life.

This audiobook was provided free of charge in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion.

4 Strong Stars

In this collection you get to meet 4 very unique brothers. Each has been cursed by witches from sins of there pasts.
Each book shows how they over come there curses and how they find there mates.

Mikkels' dimple gets me everything. I really enjoyed his book and his unique way of handling Joanna. Also he can totally be my drinking buddy he was funny!

Audrey scares me and makes a perfect mate for Bram. I can't believe he didn't go mad being of water for over a thousand years.

Erik and Siobhan are my favorite couple, because even if they weren't a couple they sooo were a couple. Also I think horns are pretty awesome considering what those horns can do!

Carr and Becca are freaking explosive! I enjoyed the balance they both had to come to terms with before they could be together.

The last book was pretty great actually getting a family reunion and then turning around giving dear ol' dad what he deserves. Yeah totally enjoyable.

I also really enjoyed the narration with this book. The unique voices really help to picture each character in my head. :)

DNF... terrible narration

Didn't make it past the first few chapters. The narration is awful, shrill for the female and a bad imitation of a man for the male. The two main characters were so unlikeable that I didn't even care to try to power through the narration.

Lame with no plot...like listening to porn!

I could barely get through the first book in this series. It is horrible and absolutely no plot and was like listening to porn. I laughed at how ridiculous this story is...really. Had to return it!

Quite good but...

I asked for the set as I like paranormal romances - and while the books in the set turned out to actually be paranormal I am a bit disappointed with the "romance" part... Strictly speaking, I would call these books paranormal erotica, not paranormal romance - there's definitely too little substance to the stories to call them romances. Each of the books - except the last one - follows the pattern: he and she meet, there's instant lust (you can't really call it love) and sex and boom, they're bonded for life and the curse is lifted... As the plots go, the ideas behind each of the books are great, with each of the brothers cursed with a different element - but I'd like a little bit more of a story in each story, not just one long description of sex (quite explicit, I must add, though luckily also not too vulgar but rather tender and subtle, as such scenes go). The last story, the Christmas family reunion, has less of the sex part and more of the love and mutual trust, and I like this one best:) Narration by Ms Lusk is quite good, though some voices she does sound a bit strange - or rather "too bitchy" for the characters they are given to:) But overall she manages well with the text without making the books sound pornographic:) DISCLAIMER: I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Cheesy, steamy, romantic awesomeness!!

These stories are the perfect blend of corny romance and incredible steam! At first I thought it was going to be just over the top cheesiness but once I got into it there really was a great balance. It was funny, sappy and sexy. I really loved it!! Audrey Lusk did a good job narrating this book. She had a good range of tones and accents that made the stories enjoyable to listen to.

quit at ch 3 because narrator

first time i have ever stopped an audiobook because of the narration. what may be a good book to read was made to sound cartoonish and stupid. just horrible.

Not liking the Viking .

I received this audiobook free of any cost & in return I offer my unbiased review of this book . 1000 year old Vikings carrying a curse from a witch ? Four brothers involved in all sorts of things , sex , death , conflict , explosive relationships . After a 1000 years they resolve the curse & everything is ok in the end . Shame it took a 1000 years , I might of been able to finish this book sooner . I'm sure many people will love this book , sadly I'm not one of them . Audrey Lusk did a good narration & without her I would not have been able to finish this book , she kept the story moving .
