Warrior's Woman (Hardcover)

FYI: "Warrior's Woman" is the first in a three-book series involving these characters and their children. Hands down, this book is absolutely the best of all three. The second, "Keeper of the Heart," is okay. The third, "Heart of a Warrior" is rather tepid.

...Black Leather?

This book slogs through a lame si-fi based plot, stupid plot twists that leave you wanting to smack the heorine, and dialog that would put a day-time soap to shame. But on the inside- this horrible romance from 1990 has something else.

BDSM.

thats right.

BDSM.

From all i've read, this basic plot of Dominace/submission is the Classic romantic ideal of a D/s relationship.
Let me spell it out for you-

1. Heroine/B**ch - "strong on the outside, fragile on the inside" miss is troubled by the lack of men around her that she respects in a physical way and have a stronger will than hers.

2. Hero/Barbarian - He-Man on the outside, gentle on the inside, he has arbitrary rules that are not known untill broken. Comes across a she-cat to "gentle" into a cute house-cat.

3. Hi-jinks and stupid plot twists, punishments and arguments.

4. B**ch turns into a kitty, He-Man "Masters-feel-no-love" turns into caring Master. kitty now misses the dominace when her Master is gone and is a stronger person emotionally, Master admits to caring for his pet and gives her a longer leash.

See?!? Classic.

Please- anyone who LOVES this book-
just get over it and get yourself a pair of handcuffs, really!

You will read and enjoy most part of the book, is not a page turner but you will laugh while you read, the book won't make you leave the reading and not wanting to start it again.

The bad things:

When Challen punished Tedra exciting her but not letting her finish as she wanted, why she was awake all night so excited, why couldn't she finished her excitement by herself? I think here that JL could find another kind of punishment.
The futuristic part of the book is a little foolish, that is worst while you read that my first point.
