Customer Reviews

A story you never want to end

I have read other reviewers coments and I totally agree with them. Dar is one of the most sexiest men I have ever read about. He can jump in front of my car anytime he wants. I loved Firedrake, he was a darling. This story has everything you want, humour, passion, magic and love. A sequel to this book would be perfect. I'd love to read about Jennifer and Dar in Asgard, as well as the other secondary characters. This book has the potential to become a series. Please do it Judy. This is a magnificent first book and I can't wait for your next one. Well done.

Highly entertaining!

When I first read the excerpt for BELOVED WARRIOR I wondered if the book would live up to my high expectations -- and it sure did! Like Jennifer, I fell in love with Dar and his little dragon. A creative, funny, non stop romantic fantasy adventure. Ms. Di Canio is definitely an author to watch for. Bring on the sequels! *G*

A sensuous, sweet, wonderful story

Some of my favorite things ... sensuality, humor and magic together under one cover. I was intrigued after reading the prologue and completely captured by the end of chapter one. I couldn't put it down. I enjoyed seeing Dar and Jennifer's relationship blossom from one of simple attraction into one of deep, selfless and abiding love. And, if you're a fan of dragons as I am ... you'll fall hopelessly in love with Firedrake, Dar's young scaly companion. I still can't get the the silly grin off of my face. A sequel in Asgard would be good, Ja?

Hot, Sweet, Funny!

A promising first for Judy DiCanio. When Loki, Viking afterworld mischief maker has his pride wounded by Dar, grandson of Odin, he send the immortal plummeting to earth and in front of vehicle driven by Jennifer Giordano. The heroine is alone in the world and short on funds. Against her better judgement she gives her "victim" a place to stay. Together they battle the forces of evil from both worlds who would do them harm. They are aided by Dar's dragon Firedrake, and absentminded geneous Snorri who is an expert on Norse mythology and an unfortunate employee of the intitute which wished to clone Dar's Dragon for evil purposes. A fun story with a sweet romance. Lor's story is next and I hope there will be more detailed info. on Valhalla and it's inhabitants. Great effort for Judy!

A Fun, Can't-Put-It-Down Read

Ms. Di Canio has written a wonderful book that easily allows you to believe in dragons, vikings, and more. I could not put down this book until I reached the last page of Jennifer and Dar's romance. I would recommend this book highly to anyone who enjoys their romance with vikings, mythological beings, witches, or just a romance with a little bit of fun. All I ask is that Ms. Di Canio and her publisher, Dorchester, please give us the stories for some the wonderful secondary characters in this book. I know anyone who reads this book will also be impatiently waiting for the stories of Lor, Dalia, and Marcus Nordstrom to name a few.
