As far as job hazards go, Douglass Fraser didn’t think crash-landing on an alien planet and spending her recuperation being erotically pleasured by three gorgeous men was in the United Planetary Parcel Service’s courier handbook. There certainly wasn’t a section on what to do when a very sexy king wants you to have his baby and save his world.
Marcus Blood Axe isn’t only a descendant of ancient Viking space travelers, he’s also a ruler dealing with a shortage of fertile women and no heir. Surely the gods are on his side when Douglass drops out of the sky and into his bed, giving him a last chance to stop his people’s death spiral into extinction.
Despite the exquisite pleasures to be found in the king’s arms, Douglass wants more from Marcus than to be his broodmare. When another woman claims to be pregnant with Marcus’ child, it’s past time to get back home. Now the war Marcus wages is one of sensual passion designed to convince his Earth woman that she’s worth everything to him…even if it means giving up what he cherishes most.

I have so many issues with this book. If a woman is unconscious, she can not give consent. This is dnf for me, 6 chapters in and she just beginning to think about her kid after 2 months.
I will first start this book of with TWs: mild non-con and dub-con, old look on women.
Based on the TWs above it's obvious this book was written in the early '00s where consent was vaguely swept under the carpet. So if this is not something you want to read with the whole dark-romance craze (this is NOT dark romance) then have fun.
The plot is simple: Planet lacks women and a woman crashes on said planet, woman ends up as kings consort - surprise!
The planet is named Valhalla and guess what? The male characters has Nordic names!
*insert Nordic ramblings here*
I think my favourite character in this whole book was Sven, despite his introduction. He didn't care that Douglass (female lead) went out on her own tangent, while everyone else tried to hold her back, and he was just super cool.
