Summary: Unlike Lindsey
Review: I was very disappointed when I read this book. It's nothing like all the other, what I consider GOOD, books by Johanna Lindsey I have read. The plot made no sense at all to me and I was constantly putting it down and going off to do something more intresting. I suppose Ms. Lindsey is trying a new theme for her romances but I think that she is really best at sticking to historical settings and historical characters. In the mean time, I suppose I will have to make do with my supply of old Lindseys.

Summary: Let's hope this is Johanna's low point
Review: Johanna Lindsey is my favorite romance novelist. Sadly, Heart of a Warrior didn't live up to my expectations. Sorry, but Dalden the warrior/alien/barbarian didn't do much for me-- warning, folks--this book contains an attempt at science fiction. But Lindsey, a romance novelist, doesn't quite know how to go about it. Stick to romance, dear.The romance in this book is the only thing that is saving it. At least I could believe their love for each other. I can understand that someone who writes as many books as Lindsey does will have a book or two that doesn't live up to the quality of the rest of her books. Sadly, this is one of those few.

Summary: What happened?
Review: I've been reading Johanna Lindsey for over 10 years, and i just have one question...WHAT HAPPENED????...her earlier works are wonderful, so those of you who read this one and hated it...read her earlier works published before 1995. As for this book, I am so disappointed. Lindsey had the perfect opportunity to recreate the chemistry of her earlier Ly-San-Ter works, and she fails miserably. Neither the hero or the heroine have many good points...she is shallow and too stupid to live (why oh why didn't martha blow her out an air lock or something?) and yeah...7ft golden gods from outer space are interesting, but not for long if they don't have a brain in their head. This would have been a dynamite book had Lindsey focused more upon the relationship between the two main characters and upon Brittany's experiences on Dalden's planet. However they spend most of their time on earth which does nothing to help the story. If you really want to read Lindsey, try some of her earlier works...they're far better

Summary: Not Sure This Qualifies For Even ONE Star!
Review: Wow--was I ever disappointed! I haven't read Lindsey in quite a while, so when I purchased this book and started reading it, I kept having to double-check the cover to make sure this was "The" Johanna Lindsey writing this book. It was awful! The computer (Martha) drove me nuts with her continual remarks and interruptions in a plot that was hard enough to believe to begin with!!! Where, oh where, did Johanna Lindsey go??? If you love Johanna Lindsey's historical romances, you will be so disappointed in this! P.S. "The Pursuit" was another disappontment. Although it is considered historical romance, it severely lacked "romance" and a believeable story. I found myself opening up her old books a re-reading them--they're, by far, better than what she's been doing lately.

Summary: A Complete Waste of Time
Review: I started to read Johanna Lindsey to see why she's a bestselling author. Frankly I'm still trying to figure it out. The whole book was incredibly silly, and there were plot holes you could drive a truck through. I guess once you're a name like Lindsy you don't have to try any more (I understand some of her earlier books are quite good). I guess it could also be that futuristic fantasy type stuff doesn't work for me, but even the romance portion was pretty dull stuff.

Summary: Confusing. Not what I expected.
Review: I was excited to be reading a new Johanna Lindsey book. Hours later, when I finished this novel, I was confused and disappointed. It would have helped if I had read the two previous novels that dealt with this unconventional setting . . . , but alas, from reading the back of the book, I had no clue that the setting was anything but the usual historical setting I associate with this author. I really wish I had check on Amazon first and gotten a better synopsis of the plot. Still, beyond my disappointment in the setting of the book, the plot was STILL confusing and really unrealistic. The terminology was hard to understand and I discovered I couldn't relate to the characters at all. Not surprising since most of them are not of this earth. The plot lags and I discovered shortly into the book that I didn't really care that much about these characters. Ms. Lindsey seemed to decide in the beginning that the lead characters would fall in love and leaves the reader mostly in the dark about why. In the end, the cultural differences between the two are resolved in what I thought was a very Hollywood, dramatic ending that I didn't find that feasible. If you liked the novels about Dalden's parents and his sister, Tedra, you may like this novel. I'd read more reviews before coughing up the cash.

Summary: not too bad, considering... but not good
Review: First a word of warning, this book requires that you read the other 2 first, about Dalden's sister and mother, or it'd be really confusing. Actually, even if you read the others, this book is not up to par. Science fiction, imo, doesn't mix well with fantasy, especially if it tries to cross with reality. The practicality, or rather unpracticality, doesn't seem to cross her mind, and is shrugged off nonchalantly. Also, Britanny, supposedly a modern woman, capitulates way too easily to the way of the barbarians. It doesn't fit, as time-travels don't fit. Otherwise, I think this book is more or less the same as all the recent Lindsey books, not bad exactly, but definitely not as good as her older books (the Mallorys).

Summary: Oh how I looked forward to this book.
Review: Oh how I looked forward to this book and what a major disappointment it is. One word describes it: boring. The major characters have no appeal and there's so little plot. And, quite frankly, I was hoping in vain for good sex.

Summary: Johanna, Stick to what you know.
Review: I like most people on this page picked up this book excited about reading another novel by Lindsey. I saw the picture on the front which depicted a "barbarian" and a lovely woman twisted in the sheets. I read the back and thought, "This sounds like a good book". Boy was I wrong... First of all Johanna, aren't you a historical romance writer???? What is with the sci-fi garbage? The back of the book doesn't even give a hint that this is sci-fi and neither does the picture. This book is a joke. Come on a 28-year-old virgin??? In the future??? Mind Alerting Rods??? Are we grasping at straws for a new idea Johanna or what! People, do not waste your time with this slow and ridiculous story line. I feel that I was cheated out of the [money] I spent for this second rate romance novel.

Summary: Ugh. What happened to Lindsey?!
Review: Johanna Lindsey used to be one of my favorite authors but over the last several years, her work has gone steadily downhill (for me).
The first, almost 1/4 of the book is a vague and muddled history of Dalden's mother and sister's lives. (I didn't read those books), so it was very confusing. Lindsey used to be able to intermingle characters from her other stories seemlessly, but not here.
Brittany's character who is supposed to be intelligent, independent and self-sufficient, allows a strange, 7-foot "foreigner" to sleep over as soon as she meets him. How naive and unreal.
Martha's presence is annoying and detrimental to the couple's development, though it doesn't matter here, as there's no real development. Nothing interesting anyway.
Big pass, and I will be more leary of buying any of Johanna Lindsey's works in future, until she gets her stories back in shape.
Ugh.
