The Last Warrior (Fanfare)

Summary: An exhilarating and romantic read!
Review: "I go on loving him -- a man awesome as the waves of the Sea of Ise that thunder upon the shore." With her opening, eminently romantic quote from a lady of the eighth century, Kristen Kyle sets the stage for an unforgettable love story. Her characters -- Jake and Meghan -- are intense, endearing, and well drawn, and you'll be turning the pages as fast as you can to see how they overcome one challenge after another. Kristen Kyle does a wonderful job of blending high romance and adventure with subtle humor to create a book you'll remember long after you've devoured the last page. I, for one, can't wait for more from this talented author :)

Summary: Keeper Material!
Review: Don't let the cover of this book fool you. It's about a hero who "walks off the page". He's neither east nor west, but both. Add the romance to this historical adventure, and you have a real keeper.

Summary: Here's an Action-packed, Sexy Romance
Review: I have a new author on my favorites list: Kristin Kyle. THE LAST WARRIOR, an historical set in 1870 San Francisco, is filled with edge-of-your-seat action, page-turning suspense and lots of heart-pounding romance. Meghan McLowry is a Nob Hill socialite in search of a tough-as-nails fighter to protect her father from assassination attempts by a Chinese gang leader. She finds her man in Captain Jake Talbert, and American raised in Japan as a samurai warrior. Using heirloom swords as her bait, she coerces him into helping her. Though their relationship begins antagonistically and both their differences and his past seem insurmountable, they begin to discover their many shared passions. While Kristen Kyle definitely has her own unique voice and style, this story shares the exotic planes of a Laura Kinsdale and the sexy romance of a Susan Johnson. Do not pick up THE LAST WARRIOR to read before you go to bed unless it is not vitally important you get a full night's sleep. You won't put this one down.
