Summary: I don't think so.
Review: Nevada meets Eden at a bar where she walks up to him thinking he is the owner of the store she needs supplies from. She is harassed and he defends. She goes to a cabin in the mountains to track wild cats and he follows days later to ensure she is okay. I won't say more as I don't want to give the story away. What I do not like is that she wears her heart on her sleeve and he, not a believer in love, takes what she has to give. He's got too many hangups constantly telling her he doesn't want to hurt her but does it every time and she is his doormat; always available to please him. I agree one hundred percent with review(er) from June 18, 2002. I will get bashed for this but I don't care, how can any woman lower herself to mush for a man who has told her time and again his feelings about love?

Summary: My favorite Elizabeth Lowell book
Review: Of the Mackensie/Blackthorn series, this is far and away the best one. Although I dearly loved Outlaw (Tennesse & Diana)-- I was captivated by Nevada, a burnt out CIA agent who saw more death than life while assigned to fight/train rebels in Afghanistan. He encounters Eden Summers, who is the embodiment of life, hope, and love. She teaches him how to love and feel emotions again. She brings him back from the brink of self destruction. Truly one of the best stories I have ever read. Nevada Blackthorn's character has remained in my top 10 list of favorite heroes. Buy the entire series but PLEASE buy this book regardless -- and keep it always.

Summary: Elizabeth Lowell
Review: Over the years I think I have read every book that Elizabeth Lowell has written. I know I have at least 30 in my collection. I have to admit that Warrior was one of my favorites. In fact the entire series is one I often read again. I consider most of her books keepers and though I do not read romantic fiction exclusively I am first in line when her latest hardcover comes out.

Summary: I wish this story was longer!
Review: The amazing thing about this ELowell series is that there are so many interesting people in it. I wish it was a few chapters longer. There's a lot(!) of angst, but there's smiles and laughter too. You'll read it for the hot scenes, but you'll keep it because it's a great story.

Summary: Passion at its most elemental
Review: They just don't write romance like this anymore. A reissue from 1991 on Lowell's series of the Mackenzie's Western Lovers - Warrior is reassuringly old-fashioned romance with smoldering chemistry between rancher Nevada Blackthorn and wildlife biologist Eden Summers. Haunted by his grisly past as a war veteran in Afghanistan, Nevada has dispelled and resisted any coil of emotions to resurrect a cold and unfeeling exterior. Yet Eden Summers has penetrated his resilience with her strong belief in love as a healing power - one that would bind them as one or separate them forever. Smoothly setting the passionate story in the grand plains of Colorado, Lowell judiciously uses the nature of cougars to compliment the savagery of Nevada - and explore his gentleness. What is most potent about Warrior though - is the unleashing of coiled emotions of love and its unexpected poignancy between the wounded souls to render it a lacerating experience of passion at its most elemental.

Summary: Be Careful! It's a RE-RELEASE!
Review: This book was not published in May 2002. It was published sometime in the 1990's (sorry, can't remember when, my book's at home). It's part of the series about the Blackthorne guys, Nevada, Tennessee, etc. who work on the Rocking something (?) ranch owned by Luke and Carla of "Fire and Rain". "Outlaw"
and "Granite Man" are also part of the series. Although it's wonderful book, if you've read it, be especially careful, because now the publishers are releasing a hardcover version to be published in August of this year. Do not pre-order this item! If you don't have it, and don't mind paying hardover prices, go for it. But you can most likely get a used copy at a bookstore near you.

Summary: Nevada is hot!
Review: This book, like so many of Elizabeth Lowell's books is one you just can't put down. Nevada is mesmorizing! Even when he's being a ..., you can empathize with him. Eden, in most books would come across as a lovesick doormat, but in this book, she seems tremendously insightful and grounded instead. I credit Ms. Lowell's character development for this! I very seldom reread a book, but this one will be an exception.

Summary: Large, Powerful, & Tawny Brown
Review: This could describe the man or the cougars, you choose. This is the first of the Mackensie/Blackthorn series I have read. I enjoyed this story from start to finish. From their first meeting in the town bar to the time spent in the hills tracking cougars, my eyes were glued to the pages. Ms. Lowell has succeeded in providing us a couple who is vunerable, interesting and has a little mystery. Eden is out tracking cougars in a ranching area. Nevada is licking his wounds from his past work with the CIA. Together they make living remotely on a mountain seem like the sexist thing. I find that Ms. Lowell's writing isn't always consistent. In this case though, it is supurb. She brings to life her characters that are missing in some of her other books. You care about each of them like they are friends and the chemistry between Eden and Nevada burns your fingers as you hold the book. As summer is approaching, put this on your list for an afternoon read either at the beach, lake, or park. I doubt it will take you longer than a day to finish it. Unless of course, you decide to reread it!
