Customer Reviews

GREAT BOOK...

All of the other reviews have told what the book is about...all I am going to say, is that I couldn't put it down, even when I should have been doing other things, like cooking dinner, etc. Wish she would have written more books. It seems when sometimes I find a new author that I just love, they only write one or two books. SAD! ! !

Read this book!

Great story of history and love! I normally don't read historical romances, but this one caught my eye and was definitely worth the time. It is a real page turner and I couldn't put it down. Ms. Davidson's lavish descriptions of the period and the historical references provided a powerful setting for the feuding lovers, David and Riley. I felt like I knew these characters, and I was anxious to see how they'd handle the obstacles they kept running into. The story is imaginative and engrossing. This is Ms. Davidson's first book, and I look forward to the next one!

Couldn't Put it Down!!

I'm not an avid reader of historical romance but I picked this book up thinking it would be a good easy read for the summer. What a surprise I had coming! Heart of A Warrior is much more than just another historical romance novel. I became engrossed in Ms. Davidson's imagery of 13th century England, and her characters of David D'Aubere and Riley Snowden. What was to be just a simple pick it up and put it down summer read became a passion as I read every page with relish. I can't find any other books by her! I can only hope she will write more and quickly!!

Exciting historical romance

In 1460, the Earl of Cornwich learns his son died on the battlefield. Stunned by his loss, his Queen informs him that his daughter will marry the landless but loyal Earl David D'Aubere. Like all the lesser lords, David is caught between sides during the War of the Roses. However, his loyalty has paid off as he gains the hand of Lady Jeanette, Cornwich's daughter and an estate. However, instead of a hero's welcome at Cornwich Castle, he finds a York supporter, Lady Riley Snowden poised to kill him, but he makes her his prisoner. When he meets his wife by proxy David finds the teenager to have the mind of an infant and a young girl's body. Her father insists David insure she become pregnant so that Cornwich blood flows in future generations as no other child exists. David offers Riley her freedom if she willingly gives birth to his child and leaves it with him. Neither one realized that initial attraction will flame into love. HEART OF A WARRIOR is an exciting historical romance that centers on star-crossed lovers caught between the Lancaster-York war and dangerous conspiracies to control the throne. The story line blends history inside a powerful period piece filled with action and romance. David is a wonderful character who early on in the plot obtains his life goal only to learn the cost. Riley is heroic as she adheres to her beliefs even when love enters her heart. Betty Davidson provides sub-genre fans with a powerful romantic look at a pivotal moment in Anglo history.Harriet Klausner
