Heart of a Warrior (Ly-san-ter Book 3)

This is by far one of the most foolish books I have ever encountered. The female lead makes all sorts of ridiculous assumptions that we’re supposed to think are rational, she doesn’t care if she leaves her family behind on another planet as long as she can be with a man who treats her like a toddler, and it’s ok because he took one look at her and decided she’s the one so she has no say in the matter. I am incredulous that such a ridiculous story was able to be published - I could almost feel myself losing brain cells as the book progressed, it was so bad.

As a huge fan of Warrior's Woman I really wanted to love this book. It is the story of Dalden, the son of the main characters from Warrior's Woman. The problem is that the series is a romanitic sci fi series. This book then brings the sci fi character to 1990's America. It doesn't work. In fact it really didn't even work back when it was written but to read it know it feels very dated. Dalden wears an earpiece that Brittany thinks is from a walkman like device.The weakness with the story is that Brittany when confronted with evidence that Dalden is from another planet goes into a ridiculous place of denial. The lengths she goes to to explain the fact that they could not be from another planet are just unbelievable. It makes the story very weak.It get 3 stars because if you are a fan of the series you will enjoy seeing old friends. This is not a stand alone book though and should be read with the understanding that it is very dated.

This was an awesome book! I love her stories and her characters. Her leap into science fiction was a huge success. This story of the Ly-San-Ters had me riveted to all 3 books. I hope there is a 4th and a 5th....Tedra and Martha had me laughing so many times with their exchanges that I found myself re-reading the books. I highly recommend this whole series to anyone and everyone! I LOVE Johanna Lindsey and have read and re-read Warrior's Woman and the second one (can't recall the title) several times so I was SURE this one had to will live up to my expectations. I personally don't think Ms Lindsey knows how to write a bad story!.

Ever since I met Tedra and Challen, I have been waiting to see what their children would do. I thoroughly enjoyed Shani's story, Keeper of the Heart, and her husband was quite the stud as well. But Dalden, he was the one I was waiting for.Better yet, Dalden came to Earth to save us from invasion by a true megalomaniac we met in Shani's story. This is where he meets Brittany, a tall, big boned woman who likes construction and fitness and has yet to find the perfect man for her. So how many of us have? And then, just as we all dream of it, she spots Dalden across a crowded mall and it all falls into place. As Martha would say, she got her socks knocked right off, and so did Dalden. In the Ly-San-Ter family the question always boils down to this: what wouldn't you do to make the love your life happy?In my mind, the question has always been, what wouldn't I do if I found the man I was meant to be with for the rest of my life. Brittany has to face that question squarely when she begins to realize that Dalden isn't from some distant country with a name you can't pronounce, and when she realizes she is in love with a man from another world entirely, she has some serious thinking to do.Dalden was a product of two completely different worlds, his mother's advanced race, and his father's 'barbaric' race. He devoted himself to his warrior's honor and when he saw Brittany he realized that there was another part of himself that was empty and could only be filled with one thing.This is a fantastic read, and even if you don't have all three of the books that encompass the Ly-San-Ter family, you'll love each of the characters as you meet them. I suggest, however, that you get Warrior's Woman and Keeper of the Heart so that you can enjoy these love stories over and over.Thank you, Johanna, for giving me Dalden and Brittany and completing the Ly-San-Ter family!

i first time i read this book i liked it and i have reread it several times since and i still like it. i read this book first, i did not know it was part of a series until the owner of the book store i frequent told me. i liked the other two, but this one is my favorite, i have read the series more than once, but like i said Heart of a Warrior is my favorite. maybe because i read this one first, and the setting was earth, then went back and read the other two. i have read other reviews and many have said they were very disappointed, and they are entitled to their opinions, but you have to remember Dalden goes to a world that was totally foreign. in the first two books the characters knew and understood the different worlds around them. on the other hand, Dalden, comes to earth, a planet where people think, that maybe there just might be other life out there somewhere. how many science fiction movies have there been on aliens from outer space?? how many of those aliens have actually looked and acted human??like i said i read this one first, if you are not sure whether to spend the money or not to add this book to your collection, go to your public library and check it out. then decide if you want to buy it.happy reading

I've lost count of the number of times I've read this book. As a sequel it is seamlessly follows the first two. I think if you read this one first you wouldn't get lost and confused when references are made about the other characters because you get some history with it. The Ly-san-ter saga is a must read

I loved Warrior's Woman, but found the two follow up books in the series boring. I resented Tedra's daughter for her stubbornness in part 2 and wasn't as excited about Brittany & Tedra's son as I was about his parents. Read Warrior's Woman and skip the other 2 books.

This is a great read. It has a little bit of everything. Science fiction, for the space travel and super inventions. Current setting, for here and now tracking down the bad guy. The history, where the warrior with the sword fights the fight and gives his all to prove himself to the woman he loves. And it is all mixed up in a wonderful and delicious read. If only Johanna Lindsey would continue this series like her Mallory series, because this one is much better.

I enjoyed this book very much as I had already read Warrior's Woman Warrior's Woman . I do recommend you read that first and possibly Keeper of the Heart too Keeper of the Heart , so you have some idea of where our hero is coming from. Otherwise you will be a bit lost, as our hero is from a far but archaic planet. He has come to Earth to retrieve stolen weapons, I love the back chat from the "thinking" computer, as it belongs to his mother from a progressive planet. Well his mum belongs to the computer, as people belong to their all knowing pets. Modern meets archaic, earth meets alien and all is confusion, but Love wins out in the end.

Love the book but only gave 3 stars as had to buy a hard copy as couldn't get on Kind;le

Love Johanna Lindsey books

Ich bin ganz großer J. Lindsey Fan und gerade auch von der Welt in der der Ly-san-ter Serie spielt. Daher habe ich mich sehr auf den dritten Teil gefreut.Doch diesmal war ich nach dem Lesen eher unzufrieden, was ich sehr schade fand.Der Anfang, welcher auf der Erde spielt fand ich noch sehr schön und auch gut nachvollziehbar. Doch nach und nach ging mir das Verhalten von Brittany auf die Nerven. Gerade auf der "Heimreise" und danach, als sie ZU VIEL Uneinsichtigkeit, zu viel Sturheit und und und an den Tag gelegt hat. Fast schon möchte ich das Wort Selbstüberschätzung mit in den Topf werfen...Ach ja und dann noch die Sache mit der Bestrafungsart: Wir wissen alle, dass sexuelle 'Unbefriedigung' ertragbar ist. Dennoch fand ich diesen Teil immer sehr nett in den Geschichten. Doch wie Brittany reagiert ist mir wieder ZU Selbstbewusst.Auch dieses Hin- und Hergerissen sein von Dalden, einen auf Krieger machen und dann wieder ein Teddybär sein - diese ganzen Aspekte geben mir den Anlass diesem Buch nur 3 Sterne zu geben.Bitte nicht falsch verstehen, ich mag starke Charaktere, aber hier ist für mich irgendwie nichts Halbes und nichts Ganzes. Es ist mir einfach zu viel Emanzipation à la Alice Schwarzer mit reingebracht worden (auch, was die Vorstellung, wie Männer zu sein haben, anbelangt) und dies brauche ich in einem Roman nicht unbedingt.Dennoch möchte ich jedem empfehlen, die anderen Bücher von ihr zu lesen. Ich habe alle bereits 2-3 Mal gelesen und freue mich jedesmal, wenn ich wieder eines in die Hände bekomme.

Well written.
