About this audiobook
Is he really a Viking with a vampire's bite? An angel with the body of a thunder god? A lone wolf with love on his mind? Alexandra Kelly, his prey, thinks Vikar Sigurdsson is either flat-out crazy or he's trying to maneuver her into his bed-which is hardly where a professional reporter should conduct an interview, tempting as that prospect might be.
Until Vikar does something a teensy bit unexpected, and Alex begins to wonder whether her mystery man could really be everything he says he is: a Viking vampire angel on a thousand-year-long mission with his pack of sinful brothers-and a man who's finally found the woman of his dreams. By then, Vikar is already wrapping his chiseled arms around Alex's body . . . and sinking his wicked fangs right into her neck. If this is sin, why does it feel so good?
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I nearly didn't finish this book skipping big chunks in the second half. It took too long to explain viking vampire angels then the romance was just weird and I didn't care for the heroines flippant attitude. The plot was inconsistent and hokey. Reporter Alex is sent to interview Vikar restoring a house in a town with a lot of vampire hype.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5More like 3.75 Stars. Light reading. The next in the series is better. See my full review at puretextuality.com
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I was drawn to this book because of the cover and the interesting blurb, but really it wasn't what I thought it was gonna be. I expected some kick-ass vikings but got silly viking/vampire/angels. You would think that after being alive for over a thousand years the vikings would've learned enough to speak like a modern human so they stood out less or something. It read like a time travel book in a way. I don't know. Just wasn't what I was hoping. I'll read the next one, but only because I already own it. But I definitely won't be hurrying to read it anytime soon.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I am sorry to say but Kiss of Pride did not work for me. It borders on being just ridiculous. The plot and the characters had no depth to them. The whole Vikings/Vampires/Angels is just too much to take.I really wish I could say something positive about this book but I can’t. I didn’t find it funny or even romantic. It was just a very disappointing read.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The Kiss of Pride by Sandra HillSandra Hill has always been so good at writing Vikings and time-travel. Her earliest works are among my favorite books (The Outlaw Viking in particular) so I think that that is why she thought that if she took her Vikings and stuck some fangs on them and then added a lot of religion into the book that this would captivate her core audience.This book has all of Ms Hills tried and true moves so if you love her works you may really love this. Unfortunately, it takes more that updating Vikings to Viking Vampire Angels who have sinned to captivate me. Alex Kelly goes to Transylvania (not not the country, a small town in PA) to write an articles for her newspaper. Her editor believes that this job would be a good thing to take her mind off the fact that the men who kidnapped and killed her husband and 5-year-old daughter, are going on trial soon. Instead, Alex is captivated and enchanted (after a while) by a town that trades in Vampire themed businesses and the hunky Viking who seems to be the head Vampire/Angel/Viking.I couldn’t get beyond the thinly veiled religious theme and I could not justify the punishments of the Vikings fitting the crimes. Perhaps the later books will be able to justify this.
