About this audiobook
Even the strongest man in the world has a weak spot!
Magni knows what he wants and he's used to getting it. As the second in command in the Northlands, he doesn't care that he comes across as rude or domineering. Asking for permission or apologizing for his actions is for weaker men.
Six months ago, Laura was Magni's sweet and submissive young wife. Tempted to experience the independence of women in the Motherlands, and to learn martial arts, she ran away. Now, she's back. Stronger and more confident than before. Determined not to let a man dominate her, not even the one she once fell in love with and married.
Is there a way for Magni and Laura to be a couple again with her need for independence and his need for control? And can someone as proud as Magni overcome his anger with Laura for leaving him in the first place?
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I like how Elin Peer developed this relationship. Laura left to learn and experience life, but brought her back. Their marriage not only survived, it was better than before! #relationshipgoals
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Each book is this series has been interesting and well written. Very enjoyable!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very good book that started with intensity and kept it up. Moira and Duncan had been secret sweethearts when she was seventeen and he was nineteen. But Moira was the daughter of the laird and Duncan a bastard son, and when they were discovered Duncan was sent away and Moira married off. Each of them believes the other deserted them when things got tough.Seven years later Duncan and his friends are back to reclaim the land stolen from the clan. Moira's brother Connor, listening to the local seer who sees Moira in trouble, sends Duncan to Ireland to check on her. He arrives in time to see her kill her husband after he nearly beat her to death. Duncan discovers that in spite of his feelings of betrayal, his heart still belongs to Moira.Moira had been her father's "princess" and certain that whatever she wanted she would get. Stunned at being denied her heart's desire of marrying Duncan, she accepted her father's candidate for marriage, only to find herself at the mercy of an abusive man. Seven years later she puts herself at risk to save her son from her husband's cruelty, only to see the boy sent to her clan's worst enemy for fostering. Duncan's arrival saves her life, but trusting him isn't something she can't do.I loved the interweaving of the action and the romance. Duncan and Moira are wary of each other at first, still hurting from the perceived circumstances of their separation. During their escape they are forced to stop to get help for Duncan's injured companion, and the attraction between them flares hot again. Moira wants Duncan's help to rescue her son, but her plans to keep herself separate don't last long. Duncan is determined to win her back, but Moira doesn't want to trust him with her heart again though sharing her body is no problem. Even after the truth comes out, no matter how often Duncan tells Moira of his love, Moira continues to hold back. Eventually all her secrets are revealed and her trust begins to return. I liked seeing Duncan's protectiveness toward Moira. Moira will accept his help and protection, but she has become quite a survivor. She has no problem letting him know when he goes too far. I liked seeing them grow to respect each other as well as grow their love.Now that Moira is safe, the attention returns to reclaiming MacDonald land. Duncan goes undercover to scope out the defenses, and discovers a complication in that Moira's son is present at the castle. Back home, Connor and Duncan try to work out the best way to attack the castle, while a spy waits to discover their plans and betray them. Bad luck has Duncan captured, but a surprising rescue gets him back on track. The battle is followed by more trouble, and it is Moira's quick thinking that prevents a disaster. There's a twist to this final confrontation, but it ends well and Duncan and Moira finally get the future they want.The secondary characters were great. Young Ragnall and his dog Sar were terrific. I liked Ragnall's ingenuity and protectiveness towards his mother. Sar was pretty amazing and came through several times when things were looking grim. Moira's brother Connor, as clan leader, was fantastic. I really enjoyed is part in getting Duncan and Moira together, and am really looking forward to his story. I'm also looking forward to the downfall of their Uncle Hugh after all the trouble he has caused.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Good historical romance with lots of fast paced exciting action. I liked the strength of the heroine. Some of plot was common but with enough variation to make it interesting. Warrior Duncan is ordered to rescue clan chiefs sister Moira who he once loved.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/52.5 stars, maybe.
This book just was not for me. If you enjoy romance focused books and are okay with incompletely developed characters, problems resolved by improbable coincidences, and where the bad guys are just baaaaaddd and the good guys are golden then ignore my review and rating.
There were some really good ideas in this book. Every good idea though, just happened too quickly or too easily. This is one of those rare books that could have had either less happening or 100 more pages. The writing was not bad, but Mallory failed to fully develop each scene or situation. The bad guy is really bad and the of course has some crazy and surprising connection to the main characters.
The Warrior was disappointing, while I did not read the first two in this series I was not confused or struggling to figure out what was going on.
