"Ah, international incident of the big sort, huh?" It was pretty obvious when he glanced down at the earphone at his feet that he was in need of an explanation. Brittany tried. "A big ruckus that would make the papers in both our countries, to everyone's embarrassment?" When he still looked blank, she added, "Oh, go ahead, pick it up. I'm sure she can make you understand."
He nodded, did so, and after a very long moment of having the earphone attached again, said to Brittany, "Your analysis is appropriate. Will you help me?"
"I'd love to, really I would, but I don't see how I can. You need someone with more time on their hands than I have. But with two jobs tying me up for most of the week, the only time I could help you would be on Sundays, and that doesn't seem nearly enough when you've made it clear you're in a hurry to get this wrapped up."
"You misunderstand, Brittany Callaghan. I wish to pay for your time, for you to work only for me until my task here is accomplished.
He lifted the large medallion off his chest and off his neck, leaning over to hand it to her. Her hand actually dropped before she put some effort into holding it up. The medallion was really heavy, with the added weight of the chain, wich was more the size of a bicycle chain than a piece of jewelry, probably weighing ten pounds itselt.
She gave him a questioning look, to wich he said, "That is a cheap metal where I come from, yet I am told it has high value here. Will it be sufficient to hire you?"
She glanced down at what was probably fifteen, maybe even twenty pounds of disk and chain. "How much gold plating are we talking about?"

Le monde que Johanna Lindsey a créé dans cette série m'a beaucoup plu. Elle nous amène dans un monde où des humanoïdes co-existent dans d'autres systèmes solaires et nous fait découvrir les différentes cultures, le niveau scientifique inexistant ou très avancé, comment se côtoie deux cultures et les enfants de ses derniers. Dans ce dernier tome, Dalden le fils de Tedra veut arrêter un roi-mercenaire qui veut s'emparer de la Terre. Dalden rencontre son âme-soeur Brittany sur Terre et lui demande de l'aider à retrouver ledit mercenaire. Pendant leurs recherches, Dalden ne peut plus quitter Brittany et cette dernière tombe sous le charme. Dalden est un guerrier-barbare et il convaincu que l'évidence parle d'elle-même. Brittany est très septique à la fable que Dalden et Martha lui racontent. S'ensuit les difficultés de la vie commune entre 2 cultures totalement différentes. J'ai adoré l'humour grinçant de Brittany et les dialogues de cette dernière avec Martha (le cerveau du vaisseau spatiale). La seule difficulté que j'ai rencontré au début du livre est ma compréhension de l'anglais ou bien, il y avait trop de longueur avant que l'action arrive.

Résumé
Stunning statuesque Brittany Callaghan isn't used to seeing Nordic gods in her tiny California town. But when the spectacular blond Viking—whose name is Dalden—turns up at her doorstep, Brittany knows her dream man is very real. Dalden claims to be a barbarian warrior—since Brittany's passion has been running red–hot since she first saw him, the sexy giant can fancy himself anything he pleases!The truth is a very rude awakening—for Dalden is exactly what he claims to be: a warrior to the depths of his soul from a place where the women always obey. Intelligent, independent Brittany isn't about to be subservient to any male—not even one who's everything she ever wanted in a lover. But the proud, powerful barbarian is accustomed to fighting for what he wants—and winning. And what her wants most of all . . . is Brittany.
