I purchased this book when it was released, and I started reading it but for a number of reasons I never finished it. Until now. And oh my. This is the perfect mix of adventure, magic and love.This story begins in Southampton, but most of the action takes place on the Mongolian steppes and in China....

Mixed feelings on this one. In a few words, characters were mostly yay, but the plot/adventure/mission was ho-hum.CharactersCaptain Gabriel Huntley, late of Her Majesty's Thirty-Third of foot, gets a fat, juicy 5+ star thumbs up. Gruff, unpolished, unrefined, he speaks bluntly, fights passionately, ...

To most people, the realm of magic is the stuff of nursery rhymes and dusty libraries. But for Capt. Gabriel Huntley, it's become quite real and quite dangerous... The vicious attack Capt. Gabriel Huntley witnesses in a dark alley sparks a chain of events that will take him to the ends of the Earth ...

3.5 - 3.6OK. So my problem with this book was that the hero was so much more interesting than the heroine and I couldn't figure out why he would like such a curmudgeon. Not to mention that the setting, and subsequent behavior, reminded me of Sherry Thomas' "Not Quite a Husband" and Lauren Willig's ...

short and sweet: I was so out of my comfort zone starting a Historical *gasp* Romance... AND I LOVED IT! This book is a gem. The characters are rich, the storytelling is superb, and the world building is magical. Can't wait to move on in the series and lucky for me, I have all 4 books in a bundle!

4.5 Stars. Definitely recommend this book. It's a historical, but doesn't "feel" like a historical. Thalia has been living in Mongolia since she was a little child, so she is a strong character with atypical views. Gabriel Huntley is also a very strong character, having been in the army for the maj...

Warrior felt like one of those old adventure movies. A cross between Indiana Jones, The Mummy, and countless other Saturday afternoon movies from the days before VCRs, Warrior was full of thrills, excitement, magic, and adventure.Warrior has a lot of things going for it: An original plot, an exotic ...

This was pretty good. Sort of halfway between a historical romance and a historical fantasy. Tons of bonus points for a non-European setting--I loved getting to see Mongolia in what's essentially a Regency romance plus magic. Definitely didn't fall into the usual romance pitfall of having no plot. I...
