Summary: Disappointing character development
Comment: The third book in the "warrior" series was not all I thought it would be. I enjoy all of Lindsey's novels, and I do mean all of them. The plot is interesting, but for that reason the book doesn't let us get into the character's heads as much as previous works. The main male character, Dalden, is not developed as well as it could be. All we really see is that he is the son of Tedra, the brother of Shanelle, and is gorgeous. I was waiting for some more insight. But I am not completely down on this book, don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the way Lindsey described earth and it's inhabitants.
I will always enjoy Johanna Lindsey. I just wished I would have borrowed this one, not bought it. The first two books leading to this should definitely be read before this one-"Warrior's Woman" and "Keeper of the Heart"-so the reader has an adequate background on Dalden and the other characters.

Summary: Tepid Sequel to "Warrior's Woman"
Comment: "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
Comment: I was very disappointed. I never got past the second chapter. This is the stupidest idea for a story I have ever read.
