Heart of a Warrior

AUTHOR: Johanna Lindsey

PUBLISHER: Avon

PUBLISHING DATE: March 2002 (paperback)

Review:

Brittany Callaghan is 6 feet tall and works in construction and she attributes these facts to her inability to find a man who will accept her as she is. She has been disappointed repeatedly so she can hardly believe it when a gorgeous 7'-tall man shows up at the local mall. She comes to his aid (he's obviously a foreigner) and dares to dream of their future together. Until she discovers that he is an alien, and they are on his ship headed to his planet though she believes that this is all a government-funded hoax. But how long can she suspend disbelief when her heart tells her that Dalden is her soul mate? Romance fans will recognize this scheme with an sf setting, as Brittany struggles against her feelings 'til the last although her ability to continue to deny that she is in space and then on another planet is more device than plot.

I had extremely high hopes when I heard that Dalden was getting his own story. Warrior's Woman and Keeper of the Heart are two of my favorite books by Johanna Lindsey. Though this book was good, I felt a bit disappointed. After experiencing the explosive passion of Tedra and Challen and Shanelle and Falon, these characters didn't strike the same spark..also I would highly recommend that anyone reading this book, read the first two beforehand, else some major confusion may set in.

VERY GOOD
