Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Grade 'A' Fabulous
Review: Okay, this book deserves like 900 stars but 5 is the max. When I first picked up this book I was like "Well I'm not into Sci Fi but I'll give it a try, it is after all a JL book." So I went home and read it and I LOVED it! It's absolutely perfect. It has humor, romance and really great characters! Tedra and Challen (who's name I love by the way) were from completely different worlds-literaly-but they were still totally compatible. I did kind of want them to stay in Kystran in the end but either way works. This book is one of a kind and definetely worth it to buy. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for Keeper of the Heart, one of the sequels to WW, it reeked. I haven't read the other sequel which deals with Tedra's son but I will and you can be sure I'll buy and review it! Buy Warrior's Woman!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hunka hunka burning Barbarian!
Review: I read this book at least once a year, along with it's sequel, KEEPER OF THE HEART. It's a great story, with lots of humor, romance, and some of the most heart stopping sex scenes I've ever read. Lindsey makes the story come alive with the images and dialogue that she writes. My only disappointment with the book is that there hasn't been a third one--maybe with Tedra's son being bedevilled by a woman and having to admit that warrior's DO love.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Crap with an inner lining of...
Review: .....

...Black Leather?

This book slogs through a lame si-fi based plot, stupid plot twists that leave you wanting to smack the heorine, and dialog that would put a day-time soap to shame. But on the inside- this horrible romance from 1990 has something else.

BDSM.

thats right.

BDSM.

From all i've read, this basic plot of Dominace/submission is the Classic romantic ideal of a D/s relationship.
Let me spell it out for you-

1. Heroine/B**ch - "strong on the outside, fragile on the inside" miss is troubled by the lack of men around her that she respects in a physical way and have a stronger will than hers.

2. Hero/Barbarian - He-Man on the outside, gentle on the inside, he has arbitrary rules that are not known untill broken. Comes across a she-cat to "gentle" into a cute house-cat.

3. Hi-jinks and stupid plot twists, punishments and arguments.

4. B**ch turns into a kitty, He-Man "Masters-feel-no-love" turns into caring Master. kitty now misses the dominace when her Master is gone and is a stronger person emotionally, Master admits to caring for his pet and gives her a longer leash.

See?!? Classic.

Please- anyone who LOVES this book-
just get over it and get yourself a pair of handcuffs, really!

Summary: I love this book, it's cute, funny, loving and very sexy.
Review: Johanna really knows what we girls like to read. I've read all of your books and I love them all but this one is my favorite, as well as Keeper of the Heart. Warrior's Woman has an incredible dialogue, I laughed and cried with Tedra throughout the whole book. Johanna creates awsome love stories as well as characters. By the way, I'm can't wait to read Dalden's story.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Why not finish by herself?
Review: This book has extreme points, first the good ones:

You will read and enjoy most part of the book, is not a page turner but you will laugh while you read, the book won't make you leave the reading and not wanting to start it again.

The bad things:

When Challen punished Tedra exciting her but not letting her finish as she wanted, why she was awake all night so excited, why couldn't she finished her excitement by herself? I think here that JL could find another kind of punishment.
The futuristic part of the book is a little foolish, that is worst while you read that my first point.

Rating: 2 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Read!
Review: This book has passion, humor, and beautiful sweeping vistas, what we've come to expect from Johanna Lindsay. I simply love the barbaric planet that she has introduced us to. It's almost appalling the way they treat their women, however, I was left with the feeling that I sure wished it was a real place! I wouldn't mind living on a planet with 7 foot tall toe-headed muscular hotties!

One of the things that bothered me about this book, however, was the "punishment" scene where Challen takes the double shot of dhaya juice. I was left wondering, why doesn't Tedra finish it herself, if you know what I mean? If you're that sexually frustrated with no release, why *wouldn't* you finish it?? **grin** Perhaps she was just too nieve to realize that she could.

Anyhow, that aside, this was definately a great book to read. When Challen breaks down in tears, I thought how awesome it was to finally show that the man has a weakness. I really loved this book and would recommend it to anyone to read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sensual and entertaining
Review: Setting a romance in a futuristic fantasy world provided sky for the limit to imagination, plot twists and humour. The first part before Tedra appeared before Challen was a little confusing and far-fetched. But the moment the 2 characters met, the sparks and chemistry were keeping the reader well-entertained. It was very sensual. The barbaric rules of Challen's world provided many erotic scenarios for sex scenes, sexual stimulation and sexual punishment. Very tantalising but reasonable from the Challen's point of view in an imagined world. From teasing her sensually while Tedra was hand bounded to the lovemaking to make up for his guilt, Challen was powerful, domineering and tender in his own exciting ways. I like the part when Challen tried to correct his mistake by being as reasonable and tender to Tedra. It is always heart-melting to watch a strong man moved by strong emotions by loving his woman. I enjoyed the verbal sparring between Tedra and her computer Martha, as well as those exchanges between her and Challen. But the rescuing of Tedra's planet part was rather sloppy. It is forgivable since the main plot was the romance. The time, space and foreign elements were just to stretched the emotional threshold of the characters.
