Heart of a Warrior

By Johanna Lindsey

Book Overview

Romantic fiction has a first name: Johanna For years, the remarkable Johanna Lindsey has created love stories that rank among the most satisfying ever written. Her ability to seamlessly blend charm and wit with steamy passion and tender romance -- while casting uniquely memorable characters into bold original plots -- is unrivaled. And now, with thirty-seven national bestsellers already to her credit, Lindsey has brought the magic back in a wonderful new novel that proves once again how delightfully well she knows the intricate workings of the human heart. At first, Brittany Callaghan thinks she's dreaming. Afer all, she's not used to seeing blond, nearly seven-feet-tall Nordic gods in her tiny California town. But when the spectacular-looking Viking turns up on her doorstep, Brittany knows her dream man is very real. Though a stunning, statuesque beauty herself, intelligent and independent Brittany has struggled hard to cam respect in a man's world. So she is somewhat taken aback when her visitor -- whose name is Dalden -- informs her that he is, in fact, a barbarian warrior. But Dalden is a long way from home and needs her help-- and is willing to pay for it -- so if he fancies himself a savage, that's fine with her. Besides, he's had Brittany's blood running red-hot since the first time she saw him, and warrior or no, she'd like to get to know this gorgeous giant a lot better But the truth is a very rude awakening for the curvaceous West Coast lady. For Dalden is exactly what he claims to be. Where he comes from, brute strength is the law, men are all-powerful, and their women always obey. As bold and brash as she is beautiful, Brittany isn't going to be subservient to any man, even one who is everything she ever wanted in a lover, and whose very touch sets her senses afire. If she and her Norse god are ever going to get serious, something is definitely going to have to give. Still, Dalden is a warrior to the depths of his soulproud, powerful, and brave -- a man who will fight fearlessly and relentlessly for what he wants. And now what he wants most of all is Brittany.... A deliciously enchanting and brilliantly imaginative addition to the Lindsey library, Heart of a Warrior is richly overflowing with the humor, surprise, sensuality, emotion -- and, of course, unparalleled love -- that have become the author's trademarks. When it comes to fictional affairs of the heart, the extraordinary Johanna Lindsey is truly one of a kind.

Customer Reviews

It's on my keep shelf!!!

I read this book when I was in high school and loved it so much that I begged the librarian to sell it to me. When I found out about Warrior's Woman, I bought that one too. Ms. Lindsey I think is a great writter but then again, I love the futuristic aspect. I've read many romance novels in all kinds of genres and have either given them away to friends of sold them. This book, Warrior's Woman, Lord of the Storm and Skypirate have been on my keep shelf for a VERY long time now. I've read them again and again. A must read for those who really like a good humurous romance.

New Twist

I really liked this book and have read it a second time. The combination of two different worlds and their cultures were intriguing. It gave a new twist on how to look out of the box. I loved Martha, the computer, and her great ideas and insights not to mention her humor. The love story between Dalden and Brittany I thought was enchanting. Another twist on how the man in this case gave more to the relationship than the woman. He was patient, kind and loving. I hope the Johanna Lindsey writes another book with this kind of content.

We get to read about Tedre et al again........

I was soooo ready for this book to come out. I love ALL Johanna Lindsey's books but my favorite was Warrior Woman. I liked Tedra and her computer for their sassy banter back and forth. I hope she writes another book to further explore the similarities between Tedra's world and ours. The two main characters were alright but the best part was when Tedra came back on the scene. I think she is one of the strongest characters that Lindsey has in her books. Not a victim at any time to be saved by the handsome "prince". I like her a lot and hope Ms. Lindsey creates more like her. Most of the books pages were taken up by the will she or won't she believe in the "aliens" world and when she does, what will she do? I hope you like this book if you buy it. I sure did.

Johanna Lindsey at Her Best

As soon as I heard there would be another "Warrior" book, I planned to buy it the day it was available. I'm glad I did. Ms. Lindsey has once again delivered characters you feel you know intimately, and fun, fun, fun! This is the most enjoyable book I have read in months. Bravo Johanna!

I read this book in one day.

I picked up this book ... yesterday morning and had it finished by 8 o'clock that night. It was a very good book. What interested me about it in the first place was that I was wondering if and when Johanna was going to write about Tedra's and Challen's son Dalden and this is his story. It adds both futuristic and modern day to this story. You will find some old friends and some old enemies but again you will find a love story worthy of Johanna Lindsey. When Dalden is asked for help he has to go to a world that there are just rumors of having life on it and when he gets there he finds the rumors to be true. He finds he will need the help of someone from this planet and she is more than willing to help him. Together they will find a way to help each other and to find the love of a lifetime. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and think you will too.
