Summary: Not your typical romance
Review: I have read many romance novels within the past year and am always on the lookout for something different. This story deviated from the typical because it brought us to another world...literally. I recommend it based on the theme rather than content. I can only imagine falling in love with someone and then finding out he is an alien.

Summary: I can only think of one word to describe this book: HORRIBLE
Review: ... Brittany is supposedly an adult, strong, self-sufficient woman. But she acts like a total imbecile. Dalden 'beams' out of nowhere into her living room and she barely bats an eye. Half a second later, Dalden offers her a job. Brittany has no clue what this job is all about or even if it's for real, but she immediately agrees to quit her jobs where she is slaving away night and day to earn enough money to build a house ' her lifelong dream - to go off with this guy and do who-knows-what. She doesn't know squat about him or how much he'll even being paying her, for pity's sake. He is totally vague about what he's hiring her for and even says he has no money. He offers to pay her with his gold medallion, which Brittany, being the smart cookie that she is, thinks is fake. She says he can pay her later. But she'll only accept a fair wage. She refuses to take advantage of his generosity. Puhleeze. Later he tells her some lame story about not having a place to stay, so she invites him to stay in her apartment. Glad I'm not her roommate! He is a complete stranger. And she is a complete moron. He could be a murderer, a stalker, diseased, or just plain crazy. But she doesn't think about any of that stuff. After 28 years of sexual frustration, she just wants his bod. Little things like who the hell he is and what he's doing there matter not at all. The thing that bugs me most is the way Lindsey goes on an on about what a modern, strong, independent woman Brittany is. Even Martha gives Dalden a lecture about how difficult it will be for Brittany to accept his way of life because she's so 'liberated.' Funny ' except for the fact that she doesn't believe in the whole spaceship thing, she has turned into the perfect little subservient Betty Crocker of a lifemate. With the exception of a few token protests, she does what Dalden wants, wears what Dalden wants, goes where Dalden wants. Nevermind her goals and dreams, her family, her friends, her life, or her freakin' PLANET. And all because he's tall and hot. Halfway through the book she decides she's madly in love with him and it really doesn't matter after all if the whole thing is [untrue] as long as he doesn't dump her at the end of it. I have loved most of Lindsey's work, but this one was just plain awful. It made me wish Brittany was a real person, so I could smack her upside the head. Ugh. I may never read a Lindsey again.

Summary: Not JL best work...
Review: I agree with many of the reviewers regarding this novel. When I first check this book out from the library I didn't know that it was part of a series. So the flashbacks didn't bother me. However, what did bother me was the total lack of chemistry between Dalden and Brittany! There was no romance, no passion and I don't know where that 8 sensuality rating came. The only thing they had in commom was their height which was the first thing that attracted Brittany to Dalden when she first saw him. He had his mission and she was basically his guide. Where was the romance in that? There was way too much Martha. She never shut up. Brittany was about as bright as a piece of wood. Her refusal to accept that Dalden was from another planet despite the constant proof namely Martha, his spaceship, his planet, the huge house cat ect... was so annoying. I am just glad I didn't buy this book.

Summary: Disappointing end to an otherwise excellent trilogy!
Review: WARRIOR'S WOMAN and KEEPER OF THE HEART are two of my favorite keepers, but this third installment was very disappointing. I almost wanted my money back. Readers may want to skip this one
entirely.

Summary: Fun! A Great Read
Review: I can't believe this is getting less than 5 stars! It's wonderful fun and a good sequel to her other books. I loved this whole series. Johanna Lindsey writes great conversation and wonderful futuristic stories. I hope she does more along this line.

Summary: I did regret buying it
Review: I was very disapointed with this book for which I did wait so much. It is perhaps interesting to Science Fiction funs, but there is pracically no romance in it. The relationships are empty and I am sure the author could have done more. She did not put any heart in it so I do not think I will ever buy a book from her.
I should have read and listened more to the others writing about it. I do not agree the Sensualility rating about the book either, as the emotion is lacking.

Summary: How Dare JL do this to US!!!
Review: An absolute waste of the author's talent and the readers' time!
SOMEone must have known this was garbage yet it was printed anyway! I'm a little offended that fans of JL were offered such trash to read.
A terrible book!

Summary: Heart of a Warrior
Review: Heart of a Warrior is the third book in a series that began with Warrior's Woman. Though Martha's (the super computer)comments were funny in the previous romances, I felt that Johanna Lindsey went overboard with her this time. Martha's character dominates in this novel, often times spouting psychobabble or redundant information. Both Dalden and Brittany spend more time talking to her than to each other. The two of them seemed to have no reason to love each other besides the fact that they were both tall. I didn't appreciate the age difference. Alien or not, he was only 21 and she was almost 30. Brittany spent the majority of the novel not believing that she's left earth despite overwhelming evidence. Her refusal oversteps "stubborn." It soon becomes just plain stupid. This novel only served to make me miss Warrior's Woman--a far superior novel.

Summary: Not her best effort...
Review: This is without a doubt the worst Lindsey book I have ever read. Since I have been a fan for many years, I was very disappointed in this book. The heroine was annoying and not very bright. The hero...well, we didn't really learn enough about him to form an opinion. This wasn't a romance, it was a history lesson on the previous two books in the series. If there was a relationship in the entire novel it was between Martha (the computer) and Brittany (the "heroine"). The hero and heroine had so few scenes together that it was very difficult to understand what they saw in each other, and where this "great love" they felt came from. The only thing that they had going for them was physical attraction, which is pretty shallow when that is the only link they have throughout the entire story. The characters were not well developed, there was no romance, the plot was weak at best, and Martha who I really enjoyed in the previous books, managed to get on my last nerve about one third of the way into this one. I forced myself to finish the story because I hate leaving a book half read, but it was an effort. While I will always love Lindsey's other works(I have almost all of them) I will never again buy one of them just because it was written by her.

Summary: If I could give it no stars, I would
Review: Yuk, Yuk and Yuk. Lindsey loves to bring old characters from previous novels into more recent novels. I think this is an excuse she uses not to have to develop new characters. This book took the cake on revisting previous characters. In fact the book was more re-introducing you to them then it was a new story. Her conversations were too frequent and boring. I did not like the Brittany or Dalen. They had no chemistry as far as I am concerned. I could not even finish this one, what a waste of cash.
