Summary: Tepid Sequel to "Warrior's Woman"
Review: "Heart of a Warrior" is the least enjoyable of a three-book sci-fi romance series written by Johanna Lindsey.The first book, "Warrior's Woman," is a personal favorite. The second, "Keeper of the Heart," is alright. This third book - "Heart of a Warrior" - simply lacks in passion, plot, character, etc. "Heart" is the story of a gorgeous "barbarian" who travels via spaceship to modern-day Earth to stop an evil alien king from committing bad deeds and ends up falling for a Californian carpenter named Brittany. The story line is promising, but ... Among my many complaints: Back-story is the enemy, especially when there is too much of it. "Heart" takes the cake in overdosing on back-story, mostly because it borrows heavily from its prequels in terms of evil villains and family relationships. Also, there's lot of really dumb things that happen in this book. One of the more irritating and unbelievable things is the fact that drop-dead gorgeous Brittany is still a virgin at almost 30 and single because she is (drum roll please) "too tall" for men. Come on, she's 6 feet. Whatever. She also refuses to believe Dalden's an alien (albeit a gorgeous one) for SO long that it gets to be pretty lame. If I spent 3 months on a spaceship and walked on the moon, like Brittany does, I'd be convinced my new boyfriend was from outer space. Another problem I had with this book is the fact that it covers the same ground as "Until Forever," an earlier Lindsey novel, in which a barbarian-like hero also tries to adjust to modern-day technology, like the car, etc. It was fun in "Until Forever," but pretty boring in "Heart of a Warrior." Worse were the hints that Tedra's Ancients from Kystran were similar to Earthlings - Lindsey never elaborates, which was frustrating. My only enjoyment came in reading about Tedra again, who shined in "Warrior's Woman." I love that story, and recommend it over the lackluster "Heart of a Warrior" any day.

Summary: horrible
Review: I was very disappointed. I never got past the second chapter. This is the stupidest idea for a story I have ever read.

Summary: Ms. Lindsey, Can We 86 the Aliens? Where are the Mallorys?
Review: Johanna Lindsey is a legend. I love her work, especially the Mallory series. So, why in the world do I feel gyped when I read Heart of a Warrior? First of all, I need an interpretator to understand the "language". And, I need a flow chart to keep track of which planet is which, and so on...I have actually had to put this book down to relieve my headache from trying to keep track of it all. I have read romance novels for years, and I know that a really good one does not give me a headache. The most redeeming quality of this book is the fact that the "hero" in the book is sexy as hell!! I had a few good dreams from the tight leather pants description. Otherwise, I think the chemistry between Dalden and Brittany is lacking, the plot is slightly unbelievable (even for my imagination), and I still need an interpretor to understand the language. I honestly did not like any of her outer space series novels (Warrior's Woman, Keeper of the Heart, Heart of a Warrior). I am hoping that Ms. Lindsey will go back to the Mallory family and give Jeremy or Travis a love story!! I give this book 3 stars based on the fact that Ms. Lindsey is a romance novel legend,and Dalden can let me lay on his chest anytime!!
