Minka Pajari was going home, after escaping from her
abductors, when she notices men are after her.
Then her pursuers attacked. Angelo Rias, Sergeant First
Class Special Forces, is in Tajikistan with his team, when
they notice Minka, and they rescue her. Angelo recognises a
hybrid—a man-made shifter: a human artificially
turned
into a shifter—but there aren't supposed to be any
hybrids
in the region. Angelo knows about paranormal beings, he has
been on missions with the X-Ops in the past. But Minka is
totally out of control, and only Angelo seems to have a
calming effect on her.
I have been a fan of this spectacular X-Ops series
from the
start,
and this instalment may be even better than the previous
ones; HER FIERCE WARRIOR is an adrenaline rush from
beginning to end! Ms. Tyler has created a world so solid
that there would be no story without its paranormal
elements, and that is almost unheard of. Minka and Angelo
are amongst the best characters the author has ever
created.
Minka is childlike and innocent in spite of her struggles
to
keep her beast at bay. Angelo is a real tough guy with a
noble heart, and their relationship is heart-wrenching. I
like that the characters in the previous books all have
their say in HER FIERCE WARRIOR as the story arc, which
began in the first book, continues. And because of
everyone's involvement, a new reader to the series will be
able to easily follow.
HER FIERCE WARRIOR is riveting, and the second half of the
book unfolds at dizzying speed, with thrilling action,
unexpected turns of events, and with a romance so tender,
so
believable, it will make you smile. I don't necessarily
enjoy epilogues, but in this case, I thought I'd died and
gone to shifter heaven!
The woman tensed. As anger and fear ricocheted across
her face, her eyes changed from red to green to brown in a
dizzying display like nothing he'd ever
seen.
Every instinct in Angelo's body
screamed at him to lunge for his weapon. Instead he set his
feet for impact, blocking her slashing claws. Unbelievably,
after a few moments of struggling, she went still, all the
fight gone...
Minka isn't sure she should trust
the sexy Special Forces soldier who found her. Subjected to
horrors, on the run from scientists set on locking her in a
cage, Minka is terrified of the monster she's becoming...and
somehow, Angelo is the only one who can calm the beast
inside her and make her feel safe.
But can she trust
the way he makes her feel when she's not even sure she can
trust herself?
