Rating: Summary: A CLASSIC !!! Review: I LOVED IT WHEN HE KILLED THE CHAIR!!
Rating: Summary: Brilliantly different. Review: I did not think I would enjoy a futuristic romance novel, but I should have known better. The characters are well developed, the story is VERY imaginative--how did she come up with all of those cool toys for Tedra? And Martha is a hoot!! Now all we need is a story for Dalden! A must read.
Rating: Summary: What a wonderful surprise Review: I love to read Johanna Lindsey, but was unsure of a book set in the future after enjoying all of her historical romances. However, I loved this book and the sequel. Ms. Lindsey managed to incorporate science fiction into her romance without going to extremes. All of her futuristic elements were easy to imagine happening. I hope she manages to do another sometime soon.
Rating: Summary: I really enjoyed this one and Keeper of the Heart. Review: I would like it very much if she would write one about Dalden and a women worthy of his love, but that also gives him a hard time in taming her.
Rating: Summary: Johanna Lindsey has a delightfully fertile imagination..... Review: formulating her concepts with seeming
ease and developing them with such thoroughness
that any reader with a sense of wonder cannot
fail to be carried along by the sheer stimulus of
her ideas.
A brilliant piece of futuristic romance that is
definitely hard to put down.
Rating: Summary: Awesome Sci-Fi Romance Review: "Warrior's Woman" is a steamy, sensual story with fun characters and an exotic locale - after all, it takes place on another planet. I have an English Literature degree and enjoy all genres, so I couldn't begin to describe how delighted I was with "Warrior's Woman," a cross between romance and science fiction. And what an amazing book it was! To cram 300+ pages into one sentence, it is the story of a gorgeous security guard who must flee her planet after a coup d'etat and ends up the "challenge loser" to a hunk of a "barbarian" warrior on an undiscovered planet. First and foremost, Tedra is an awesome heroine: spirited, witty, and extremely strong, independent, and lethal. She and Challen are hot together, and it is most fun to watch her frustration at Challen's unusual warrior culture and customs. Challen himself is a different kind of Lindsey hero: of course, he's a babe, but his speech patterns, supreme confidence, and complete focus on Tedra and Tedra alone (with no other plotlines to distract him) make him unique. I love their intimate moments - and there are MANY - and the humorous "interventions" by Tedra's AI computer, Martha, who is a charm. "Warrior's Woman" is one of Lindsey's most fascinating books, with great care and detail given to the futuristic setting and a simply enthralling story of two people from completely different worlds (literally) who fall madly in love. FYI: "Warrior's Woman" is the first in a three-book series involving these characters and their children. Hands down, this book is absolutely the best of all three. The second, "Keeper of the Heart," is okay. The third, "Heart of a Warrior" is rather tepid.
Rating: Summary: The Best I've ever read Review: This book is amazing. I loved the hero and heroine. Tedra was everything a woman should be. She was beautiful, couragous, and independent. Challen was also amazing. He was definetly the "alpha" male. I would recommend this book, and give it 10 ********** stars. Read this book, and "Keeper of the Heart" and "Heart of a Warrior" those books are about Tedra and Challen's Kids.
Rating: Summary: Good, fun read! Review: I'm one of those people who love science fiction and romance novels, and this is the best combination of the two that I've read! I think Lindsey did a fantastic job combining story line, creativity, tension and just plain steaminess into a novel. I don't get the reviewers who call this crap. Let's face it. Romance novels aren't meant to solve world hunger or improve the level of our collective IQ, but for good 'ol entertainment and fun. If you're reading for entertainment and like sci fi, definately try this!
I agree with the reviewer who said "Keeper of the Heart" is also good, but maybe not quite as good as this one, and that "Heart of a Warrior" is the weakest of the three in the series. I'd love to find other good books in a similar genre!

Rating: Summary: Painfully dumb. Review: This was one of the dumbest books I've read in a long time. The author introduces a supposedly "kick ass" (literally) heroine who's a member of her planet's security forces, who turns into a shrill, bitchy, pain-the-ass when she meets the first man who's ass she can't kick. I was disgusted as Tedra was at turns petulant child and hysterical ninny. I expected to dislike Challen because of his "barbaric" ways, but he actually turned out to be the mature adult in that relationship. I actually felt sorry for him. On top of that, the sci-fi aspects of this story were pretty pathetic. Tedra is from a plant in a completely different galaxy from ours, yet her speech is peculiarly American: she refers to "humanoids," uses the terms "babe" and "sweetcakes" incessantly, among other things. Science fiction obviously is not this author's strong suit. In short, I struggled to finish this book. Don't waste your money.
