Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Lochlan MacAllister was born to lead. Ruthlessly groomed to take control of his clan, he has given his life to his people. But when he learns that the brother he thought was dead might still be alive, he embarks on a quest to find the truth.
Catarina wants a life of freedom. But now Catarina's royal father wants to use her as a pawn to ensure a treaty between conflicting lands. So much so that he's willing to kidnap his daughter to force the issue. But when she escapes, fate throws her into the path of a man she loathes.
Lochlan is stunned to find the shrewish Cat being hauled away by unknown men. Unwilling to see even her suffer, he frees her only to learn that she has her own demons to fight. When their fates intertwine, two people who know nothing of trust must rely on each other, and two enemies who have vowed their eternal hatred must find common ground, or see their very lives shattered.

It's a long time since I have read about the McAllister clan so the people seemed fresh in my mind. That being said, I still did not enjoy this novel
The heroine, Cat, the daughter of the King of France was your typical I hate men female but atypical as this is medieval Europe. She is on the run from her father's guards as she does not want to marry the Prince he has chosen for her.
In rides Lochlan to her rescue. He is on a mission to find his brother, who he believed was dead but now thinks is living. Lochlan has been hurt by women in his past and was the child of an abusive father. He doesn't like Cat but feels honor bound to help her since she was instrumental in saving his brother's life.
These two encounter so many characters in France. Cat knows them all or Lochlan seems to. The plot line here is simple; girl is on the run, hero saves the day.
Cat and Lochlan generated very little heat. They seem most impassioned when they are trading insults with each other. Then poof suddenly they are in love and lust. Now Lochlan must decide whether he will pick true love or risk his own life.
I won't go into the story with the long lost brother. It is a bit confusing and there are a lot of twists and turns in the plot.
This gets a two star rating. Lochlan was an okay hero and Cat became an okay heroine. The plot was lacking and the coincidences of meeting so many people the leads knew on the run were implausible. Every time they met a traveler on the road, either Cat or Lochlan greeted a known friend or an enemy.

Ever since I picked up Dance with the Devil, I can't stop reading anything kenyon/macgregour writes. Her wit never ceases and the characters are so vivid. If you've never read anything of hers, please do. Wonderfully done. She does a lot of series work, though, so you may want to start at the beginning and buy them all. Once you start, you'll just want to read more and more. She's addictive!!

I mistaken the book for one belonging to another one of this author's series, so I didn't have the background on this hero and his brothers like other readers may have. Regardless, I found this story engaging. The herione was funny and sneaky which made her endearing and the hero was sexy and ...well.. heck...what more matters? I'm glad I accidently read this.

I love the Brotherhood of the Sword series. This one was no exception & kept me wanting to know what happened next. It was very difficult to put down.

On a search to find his missing brother, long thought dead until recently, Lochlan encounters the beautiful and shrewish Catarina, who is fending off a group of ruffians who are determined to take her to Paris against her will.
Without missing a beat, the chivalrous laird steps in to save the lovely lass from her kidnappers. After all, she once saved his brother's life and his family owed her for that, no matter the barrage of insults she consistently pelts Lochlan with.
Sure, the lady tries his patience sorely, but as they travel together, he finds himself liking the spunky lass - against his better judgment. And that `liking' is turning into something a lot more like love...
I became a huge fan of author Sherrilyn Kenyon a couple of years ago, and liked her works under that name so much that I have since purchased every book she has published under either that name or the pen name Kinley MacGregor. Alas, with a to-be-read pile that would stand taller than I do, I am still working to catch up on actually reading her back list. And so it is that the third book in the Brotherhood of the Sword series, The Warrior, is the very first Kinley MacGregour title I have read.
Although the third book in the series works very well as a standalone novel for those of us who have not yet read the previous books in the Brotherhood stories, It made me more than eager to read the books that came first. There were just enough references to past events and other characters to make me curious without leaving me feeling lost or as if I were missing critical pieces of information necessary to enjoy The Warrior.
Lochlan and Catarina are a fiery match, with Catarina's penchant for needling her hero keeping him on his toes. She just can't seem to resist, much to the reader's delight and Lochlan's dismay. Of course, that dismay changes to something else as he begins to see the real woman underneath the sharp tongue and barbed wit - a woman he more than admires.
Lochlan himself shows Catarina time and again that he is a thoughtful, caring man who would sacrifice himself to help another - whether a brother, a friend, or a lowly peasant boy. While she is determined to retain her freedom by never submitting to the chains of marriage, she finds herself ill-equipped to resist the man whose very actions unwittingly woo her time and again. For those very actions show him to be a kindred spirit, and a man who she can see herself enjoying a long and happy life with - IF she wanted to marry, that is. LOL
Fans who read this author's Dark Hunter series will be intrigued by the ending of this book... In a scene that hints of crossover characters, Kinley MacGregour feeds rampant speculation across her fan base. When asked at a recent book signing in Smyrna, Tennessee if we may indeed expect some crossover between these two series, Ms. MacGregour would only answer with a grin on her face and a twinkle in her eye... Was it merely a delicious tease or a hint of things to come? Who can say but the author herself. But I can tell you this, the idea will definitely have this reviewer anticipating the new releases in both the Brotherhood of the Sword series and the Dark Hunter series even more eagerly than I already do!
If you enjoy a spunky heroine who continually confounds her ever-so-noble hero, then pick up this wonderful historical romance! The Warrior is sure to thrill readers both new and familiar with Kinley MacGregor's work!
