A Warrior's Heart by Misty M. Beller

 My review today is on the Historical Romance, A Warrior's Heart. This is the first book in the series Brides of Laurent. This is an awesome book. It's a different concept from her usual stories but I really enjoyed it and look forward to the next book. It's well written and will touch your heart.

Brielle Durand is the head of protection in her hidden village. The village has been hidden in mountain caves for decades. Their only visitors are the Indian tribes around them. She is out on a hunt when she sees a strange man heading towards her home. She watches him carefully until he crosses a line that she has set in her mind. She shoots him with an arrow dipped in a sedative compound. She takes him into the village as a prisoner. They need to decide what to do with him. Did he come to destroy them as men massacred the village years ago and killed her mother?

Evan MacManus had lost all and is now in the Northwest on a mission for the army. He needs to find an explosive mineral that will help them win the War of 1812. He is shot with an arrow but this is no Indian that has captures him. He wakes in a dark cave with an armed guard. Where is he and who are these people?

An interesting journey of two broken souls. Brielle must keep the village safe at all costs. Evan must return with the mineral that is in the walls of the village. God has a plan for these two, a plan for hope and a future. God has a plan for you too; a plan for peace and not for destruction even in this time of turmoil. Give Him your heart and watch Him move in your life.

 My review today is on the Medieval Romance, Lawless. This is book seven in the series Age of Conquest. I'm such a big fan of Tamara's work. You see a lot of Medieval Romance books but rarely do you find a clean and wholesome story but Tamara's are clean, wholesome, and many times Christian romances. I'm not sure where she gets all her ideas but I love them. This story is well-written, action-packed, and full of drama. I know you are going to love it. This is Sir Guy's story. He has been in many of the books that Tamara has written. So I was glad to read his story.

They have one resistance group still plaguing them. So they are at the lsle of Ely. He captures the virgin widow in a disastrous siege. He finds himself drawn to the woman even though she is nothing like the woman he lost. He releases her only to find her right there in the next siege. She is captured again. How can he help keep her safe?
