Love's Tender Warriors

Rating:
Summary: Drama! Heartbreak! Intrigue!
Review: Can you run away from your past? How far could you go? And what do you do when the past catches up with you? Two women meet and find themselves suddenly faced with answering these exact questions - as well as others. Which of them is running from their past and why? What is so tragic that they can't face it? Will a friendship, seemingly against all rules, develop into more? Can they help each other overcome the odds stacked against them to learn to love and trust once again?

Love's Tender Warriors is a terrific story of courageous women, told in the martial arts world where strength of character is just as important as physical strength - maybe even more so. And that sometimes, physical strength is not enough.

Summary: A chance find turns out to be FANTASTIC!
Review: I came across this book by chance and it turned out to be such a great book I am now asking my friends for other Radclyffe books for Christmas.

I was initially as interested in the Martial Arts plot as I was in the Lesbian romance plot. I was sure the Martial Arts plot would only be a facade, but it is one that runs throughout the story. Radclyffe expresses a lot of the essence and teachings of Martial Arts in this book and it makes for an almost spiritual understanding of the two characters commitment.

The book, however, is not ALL about martial arts. It has a lot of real and believable characters, which is unusual for a romance novel, and any issues that arise in the plot are dealt with fully and sensitively.

I found myself being swept up in the emotions of the characters. I was interacting with the characters and at times was not aware that this was a book I was reading; the author faded into the background and the characters came alive.

I recommend this book whole heartedly. An excellent book by a very professional writer

Summary: Fabulous read - the characters are fascinating
Review: I really loved this book. The main characters are thoroughly fleshed out. By the end of the novel I felt I knew them as well as I do my family. Part of the focus is on the world of martial arts which holds little apeal to me, however the author made even those scenes interesting and appealing. This is a romance but it has several hard hitting moments and you will find you can't put it down.

Summary: Great read but...I have one issue...
Review: I've recently read the Honor Series by this author. It is refreshing to read well written lesbian novels!
So, I selected this novel to move on to her other works. Not surprisingly, it is not only well written but the characters have depth. My only complaint is a correction that needs to be made to the cover, there are no ex-Marines! Marine veterans, retired Marines but never EX!

Summary: Top of the Class
Review: Love's Tender Warriors is yet another fantastic lesbian romance novel in a long list from Radclyffe. Always writing engrossing and well written books, Radclyffe time and time again produces the best lesbian romance novels available.

If you've only read Love's Tender Warriors in its earlier web version, you are missing almost 1/3 of the book. The complete book is even better, with more scenes, including wonderful love scenes.

Don't settle for less than Radclyffe.

Summary: Engrossing lesbian romance
Review: This book mixes the excitement of martial arts with a grand romance. It's fun to learn something as you read a romance novel, and with Love's Tender Warrriors, I learned about martial arts as I was drawn into the lives of the main characters. Drew and Sean are strong women, as are all of Radclyffe's characters, who find love despite the protective shells they've erected around their hearts. Radclyffe artfully and skillfully breathes new life into the lesbian romance novel, not relying on traditional themes that have become tired.

Read this and then read Radclyffe's otehr romance books. Each is unique and wonderful and guaranteed to please.

Summary: Engrossing lesbian romance
Review: This was a great book! This was my first book by Radclyffe and I plan to read more books by her. I like the fact she didn't draw out Sean coming to terms with her feelings for Drew because most lesbian books do that entirely way too much. She focuses the book on something else besides 2 people falling in love. Overall, the book's romance and suspense made it worth reading.
