Summary: Disappointing character development
Review: The third book in the "warrior" series was not all I thought it would be. I enjoy all of Lindsey's novels, and I do mean all of them. The plot is interesting, but for that reason the book doesn't let us get into the character's heads as much as previous works. The main male character, Dalden, is not developed as well as it could be. All we really see is that he is the son of Tedra, the brother of Shanelle, and is gorgeous. I was waiting for some more insight. But I am not completely down on this book, don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the way Lindsey described earth and it's inhabitants. I will always enjoy Johanna Lindsey. I just wished I would have borrowed this one, not bought it. The first two books leading to this should definitely be read before this one-"Warrior's Woman" and "Keeper of the Heart"-so the reader has an adequate background on Dalden and the other characters.

Summary: NONSENSE!
Review: There were no juicy scenes, no steamy debates, no humor. NOTHING! I kept thinking this is some kinda joke! Who wrote this crap? Martha the computer needed to be unplugged, she was so annoying. Brittany was dim-witted in a "I wanna smack her" kind of way. This junk is not comparable to Anything JL has written before. Some say save your money -- but I say save your time! Don't read this, you'll only get dissapointment.

Summary: A Lackluster Addition to a Great Series
Review: Brittany Callaghan was instantly drawn to the gorgeous 7-foot tall stranger when she saw him. Being 6-foot herself, she had a difficult time finding men to date. She also had a difficult time letting go and so found herself a virgin at the age of 28. But when she spotted the sexy foreigner, Brittany found herself wondering what he would be like as a lover. Unfortunately, the stranger disappeared before Brittany could find out anything about him...only to reappear out of thin air in her living room a day later! Dalden Ly-San-Ter, a Sha-Ka'an warrior, was determined to hunt down Jorren, his family's enemy who had come to Earth with mind-altering weapons to conquer the planet. He never planned on getting distracted by a beautiful Earth woman who thought he was a foreigner visiting the US for the first time. However, Dalden soon found that he couldn't bear to part with Brittany, even when he had captured Jorren - so he took her with him. Too bad Dalden couldn't get Brittany to believe that his spaceship was real, or that he was a real warrior, or that they were really on their way to his home planet... Heart of a Warrior is the story of Shanelle's (Keeper of the Heart) brother and continues the tale of the Ly-San-Ter family. I read Keeper of the Heart first and found that I understood everything fine without reading the first book in the series called Warrior's Woman, but I have to admit that the background was helpful here in Heart of a Warrior because Dalden and Brittany were all over the galaxy. Still, I don't think that you need to read any of the other books to understand what is going on. That aside, this book has to be my least favorite in the series so far due to the boredom factor. It started off well, but as soon as we got to the good part - where Brittany flew off into space with Dalden - it fell apart. For the remaining 2/3rds of the book, Brittany refuses to believe that anything that is happening to her is real and that it is all some elaborate hoax, despite tons of evidence to the contrary. I liked Brittany and Dalden, but I just didn't feel that the chemistry was as heated between the two of them as some of Johanna Lindsey's other characters. I guess my main complaint is just that I expect more from this author than I received here. If you really want to read it, find a copy at your local library or borrow it from a friend who was unfortunate enough to pay money for it. It is still a pretty fun, fast read, but definitely nothing memorable.

Summary: Not her best.
Review: I have read all of Johanna Lindsey's books and I can say this one was a big disappointment. I liked the other books in this series, but this one I found lacking the same fire. First of all Brittany was a 28 year old virgin. Come on. Second, Darden had his sister and husband who had a grudge against Jorren the villian and yet they weren't hardly mentioned. Third, there wasn't a great amount of detail about their time on his planet. I mean she didn't get to experience "good" punishment. Darden felt bad because he left her and she almost got eaten. Brittany needed to break another rule and really be put through the test. Also, There wasn't a lot of interaction with his parents. Only when Brittany almost gets killed does she come around that she has really been trasported through space. Then the book is over. I was just getting started. I am very sorry I spent the money for this book in hard back. I sincerely hope her next book goes back to the Malory family. Oh yeah I'm waiting for a story on Jeremy and/or the Anderson brothers. I'm still a huge fan but I hope the next one is better.

Summary: Warning....This book is a sequel
Review: I started to read "Heart of the Warrior" thinking it might be an interesting read. Little did I realize this was /not/ a stand alone book. After the first promising chapter staring a 30 yr old virgin (hmmmm), we progressed on to the SF portion of the book with the hero named Dalden. Soon, I was overwhelmed with sci-fi jargon and long interludes featuring characters from other books. This would be fine if kept to a minimum. Unfortunately, it wasn't. Since I have never read the other books I have no clue who Challen or his lifemate are...And didn't particularly care, I quickly lost interest. This seemed more like a 'reunion' book than a romance. Perhaps this book might be good for those who've read the others in the series and want to find out what 'happened' to the other characters. For someone new to the series, I just couldn't grasp it, and this quickly became a wall-banger.

Summary: This book could have been sooo much better...
Review: I love the futuristic setting that Ms. Lindsey has brought us through the Ly-San-Ter family. The barbarian society is fascinating to read about. However, this book falls short of being as good as "Warrior's Woman". The beginning of the book is great; Dalden arriving on Earth and finds his lifemate. They then catch the bad guys in about the middle of the book. The rest of the book is Brittany's refusal to believe that everything Dalden tells her is the truth. She refuses to believe in the ship, the computer, the other barbarians, their planet, even their strange creatures have an explanation to her. It got VERY old after awhile. The more attractive plot to me would have been to have her disbelieve for a little while, then embrace it, and perhaps have a little more interaction with the "bad guy". This "bad guy" is the same one who wanted Shanelle in "Keeper of the Heart", and now he wants Brittany. How much more of an attractive plotline this would have been if Jorran kidnapped Brittany back to his own planet?! We could have seen Dalden chasing after her, perhaps rallying his planet to fight the Centurians to get her back. Perhaps that would have been a similar plot to "Keeper of the Heart", but it would have been a much better page turner than what the book actually is, simply the disbelief of Brittany to an almost painful level of "what heck was she thinking?!" This book started out with promise, but ended on a flat note. I give it a C-.

Summary: Sucks
Review: Really, this is disappointing! I wonder if this is a romance novel or a fantasy narration. Brittany and Dalden barely interact enough to fall in love. In fact, there are more ink of Brittany interacting with the computer Martha than with Dalden. There is virtually no sex scene, which makes this book unbearingly dull. Brittany is not an impressive lead character, rather stupid and stubborn. How could she keep convincing herself that she is in some fantasy programme?! This romance just doesn't hold water.

Summary: What was she thinking?
Review: I have to agree with all the readers blasting away at JL. I've enjoyed many of her books before but this was absolute garbage. Too much Martha, too little interaction between B. and D. Plus could Brittnay be more stupid?!!? She's on a spaceship for 3 months and she still thinks its an experiment. Give me a break. I've come to expect much more from JL, and am sad that I'll now think twice about reading one of her books again.

Summary: Mediocre at best
Review: I have not read all of Lindsey's work and neither of the previous books in this series. I am also not a huge fan of fantasy romance, but I thought I would give this book a try since I like so many of the author's previous books I had read. The story revolves around Dalden and Brittany. Dalden, a warrior from a barbarric planet far off in space has come to Earth to capture an evil villian set on world domination (a little bit cliche there). He enlists Brittany's help in doing this. The is the beginning of an unrealistic story line. After Brittany and Dalden capture the bad guy, Dalden kidnaps Brittany to take her back to his home planet. For months Brittany refuses to believe any of this is real and that she is part of some secret government experiment to test her intelligence. The story just become silly at this point. The ending is anti-climactic after chapters of disbelief, Brittany majically believes all in the span of a couple of pages. I sure wouldn't use this book as a judge of the author's talents.
