Rating: Summary: Futuristic Fantasy Review: In the future on a distant planet, Tedra must flee her world when it is taken over by an evil dictator and his army of warriors. Her ship, piloted by her clever computer, lands on the warrior's home planet, where she intends to recruit her own army. She finds Challen, a leader of his city, and quickly discovers that this world is not one to accept women in such a strong position. Furious over this predicament, she challenges the warrior to show him her skills, but eventually loses to him. The price for losing the challenge is for Tedra to become subservient to him in "the place where he sleeps" for 30 days. Honorbound, she agrees, never realizing the bliss that this warrior would give her. Now she has only to remain his servant, build an army, and rescue her home planet.This is a neat departure for Lindsey. This sci-fi romance is fast-paced, exciting, and very humorous. Other than Tedra's occasional chattiness, she was a likable character: strong, independent, and enterprising. Challen was, of course, perfectly formed, strong and tender, although rather chauvinistic which was understandable regarding his setting. A very enjoyable read.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely Divine! Review: The thing I like most about Johanna Lindsey's books is that it hooks you in right from the start and keeps you there. A regular hook, line, and sinker. This book is no exception. Lindsey give us what most romance authors rarely succeed in doing. A heroine that is able to defend and fight for herself while still maintaining the air of feminity. Tedra De Arr, a fearless Sec 1 out in space trying to find help for her captive home planet, Krystan. Unfortunately good help is hard to find, especially if you're facing the barbaric Sha-Ka'ari. But then she stumbles onto a planet that has men as barbaric and handsome as the Sha-Ka'ari. Challen Ly-San-Ter has no idea how to make of Tedra as she appears on his planet like magic. When their pride clashes and challenges are issued Tedra losses to the fight, therefore letting Challen to claim her for a month. For one month they are together... oh the troubles and victories they both come upon. This book is a hilarious riot with the everloving Mock II computer Martha at Tedra side, and the barbaric Challen Ly-San-Ter. He must perform his duties, he must issue punishments, but he must also give into the love that he knows that he feels for his Chemar. Even though this is a science fiction/fantasy/romance, it's worth every minute you take to read this. High Recommended.
Rating: Summary: Fabulous Review: As always, Lindsey's book is a fabulous read, and totally exciting. I enjoyed Tedra's character immensely and Challen's as well...they were depicted so realistically I almost expected to see them standing before my eyes as I read the book! As usual, unexpected twists in the book and humourous lines make this a worthy read...As well, I MUST recommend the serial, as her daughter makes her own appearance in another book (I can't remember which, but I LOVED it!!)...totally fantastic! Like visiting old friends! =)
Rating: Summary: Her Best EVER Review: I have real almost all JL novels but this has to be the best. I have read it over and over. It will make you laugh out loud.(When Challen kills a chair) You will love both Challen and Tedra. Tedra holds her on with on. And you can't forget her smart mouth computer Martha. I also recommend the sequeal Keeper of the Heart. I keeping hoping she will write another with the son. If you have never read a Lindsey start with this one!!
Rating: Summary: Yuk, Review: I didn't like this book and I have read all of JohannaLindsey's books. I much preferred Keeper of My Heart. Torturing awoman by rape or insinuating rape is not my idea of a good book or story. Since when is sex torture good? I hated this book.......
Rating: Summary: love it! Review: I really love this book! I have read it three times already, and i'm thinking about reading it again. The characters in this book are amazing. The story starts out when Tedra De Arr's planet is taken over by powerful slave holders. Tedra and her free-thinking computer, Martha, are forced to flee. Martha and Tedra stummble across the planet Sha-Ka'an, and right into the arms of Challen. Tedra challenges him to a battle, and when she loses she becomes Challen's slave for a month. Well, you will have to read the book to find out more, so buy this book!
Rating: Summary: If I could give it 10 stars, I would! Review: I love this book. From the moment I started it, to the moment I finished it, I was spellbound. I have rarely been drawn to characters such as these two. Tedra De Arr and Challen Ly-San-Ter are two of the most memorable people you will ever meet. This is a great Science Fiction - Fantasy - Romantic novel. This story takes place in the future of 2139 on the planet Kystran. Tedra De Arr, the lovely heroine, is a Sec 1, a law unto herself. She finds her planet being taken over by a barbaric culture of Sword Weilders. A lost race to the Kystrani. She must take action to save her planet before they all become slaves. So she steals a spacecraft and goes to explore the universe for help. In comes the planet Sha-Ka'an, where she meets Challen, the drop dead gorgeous warrior, who will steal her heart and soul. He is the barbaric sort who must have his say and way no matter what the cost. I must confess, I love his attitude, it reminds me of my husband who is of the same thinking. But you get used to it! Tedra, never having succumbed to any man before, is outraged. Yet deep down, her feminine side would not have it any other way. I must say, that I applaud Ms. Lindsey in writing such a book that shows that there is nothing wrong with a woman if she respects and listens to her MAN. Just because a woman were to do that does not make her in any way inferior to him. Women must not always be the strongest and have the only word in order for them to be equal. We are equal no matter what. This book goes about this subject in a delightful way. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
Rating: Summary: Blech! Review: I love Johanna Lindsey but she definitely needs to stick to historical romances. Big brutish all-knowing all powerful hero and immature over-emotional heroine....putting it in the future just insults the reader. I love historical romances and science fiction and have yet to read a historical romance writer who successfully puts the two together.
Rating: Summary: THE BEST Review: My favorite Lindsey and one of my all time favorites! There is so much going on in this book, you are at the end before you realize it. Challen and Tedra are strong, stubborn and so very good together. Challen is a dream! Who wouldn't want a gorgeous, 7 foot, warrior/lover! Tedra is self-confident and feisty. The story is funny, tender, and bold...just like the characters. I LOVE this book, and have read it 5-6 times. You WON'T be disappointed! GREAT! KCS
