Heart of a Warrior

Ly-san-ter, Book 3

By: Johanna Lindsey

Narrated by: Laural Merlington

Brittany Callaghan thinks she's dreaming when a blond, nearly seven-feet-tall Nordic god shows up on her doorstep in her tiny California town. He claims to be a barbarian warrior in need of her help.

Though a stunning, statuesque beauty herself, intelligent and independent Brittany has struggled hard to earn respect in a man's world. She is taken aback when Dalden, a spectacular Viking who is a long way from home, needs her help - and is willing to pay for it. He's had Brittany's blood running red-hot since she first saw him, and warrior or not, she agrees to help him.

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. Dalden is a warrior to the depths of his soul - proud, 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....

Critic reviews

"Add a smart-mouthed computer, the burgeoning passion between the oh-so-different protagonists, and Heart of a Warrior offers a wild romp that only Lindsey could write. Fasten your seat belts and relish the ride!" (Amazon.com review)

love this series.. and all of her books!

always a great story. I love listening while doing crafts. I can listen over and over and never be bored

Great Story

This is fun story. The dialogue is really good. I enjoyed it very much.

Must Read

What made the experience of listening to Heart of a Warrior the most enjoyable?

I love to be able to put myself into the book as myself and imagination

Any additional comments?

I really don't like reading the 1st n 2nd book then listen to the 3rd, yes I could of read it, but the experience of listening is sooooooo much funnier n when I'm in my car all day driving I like to listen to my stories n u can't read them driving but u guys get into the middle book ect and that's No Fun!!!!!!!!!

narrator is horrible!

the narrator makes the main male character sound like a robot. I find this a complete waste to listen to and ruins the whole book.

This book is better if it is read

This book on audio was a vast disappointment. How ever I did read it and it was a lot better. But on audio it sounded like it was all computer. No feeling to it.

Love it

It’s greet! The last of a trilogy from Lindsey!i wish all were available! Love it always

Not the beginning of the trio

I know that this author is most well known for her historical romances and I think that's why a lot of reviewers are disappointed - they aren't getting what they're expecting. However, if you do like romances in a sci-fi sense, this is a good one.

The only nit-picky thing I have to say is that the narrator tends to make our main guy sound like a robot.

One other thing - this isn't the first book in this trio ... it's actually the last. Readers may not be used to the world yet if they haven't read the first two books. I read them a few years ago, they're well worth it and I hope they show up here sometime soon.

Wonderful series ending.

I've read this series at least 6 times. I absolutely love it. When I had the chance to get this I snapped it up. I wish audible had the first 2 books in the trilogy.
I want to say more about it but I absolutely hate spoilers, so I won't do it to you by going into details.
The narrator brings the story to life.
Reasons I enjoyed this audio book:
Happily Ever After, Romantic, Wonderful characters, Page-turner, Great world building, Unpredictable, Original, Easy-to-read/listen, Entertaining, Action-packed, Twisted,Steamy, Funny, Whimsical.
This Audio book was given to me at my request from the publisher, author or narrator and I provided this unbiased voluntary review.

Love it

If you could sum up Heart of a Warrior in three words, what would they be?

Wonderful. I read the series years ago and loved it then and loved it now. Just wish we could get the whole series in audible.

What other book might you compare Heart of a Warrior to and why?

Sherrilyn Kenyon's The League Series.

What about Laural Merlington’s performance did you like?

At first I was not sure I was going to like her performance, but after the beginning, I came to enjoy the way she performed the characters in the book. Especially Martha.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Smiles and laughter

Not as good as Warrior's Woman

I love JL's books, especially the original Warrior's Woman but this was lame. The narrator was okay but she did make the male characters sound like robots. We only see a glimpse of Challen and Tetra. Mmmmm
