I believe this is the author's first book. I have to say I really enjoyed it. The fact that its a new author and there were no reviews yet, I wasn't sure if I wanted to take the chance. I thought it would have been more of mythology kind of read, but either way I loved it. My eyes were clued to my book as the story unfolded. I would say the story is a mix of Paranormal, Time Travel, Historical and Erotica with a bit of Contemporary if that makes sense.
Sara was with her friends having a night out, when she awoken in the stone room. Her only way of escape is to overcome her deepest fears and resist her desires to stay alive. This is shown to her with the pool of desire and fear. Sara is then found and taken to a distant land not of her time as a slave. She is then chosen as a slave to service the warlord, Arystan, the leader of his clan. At this point, Sara remembers her name but not where she is from. Arystan, is a hard warrior, who has a defense built up towards anyone. He himself knows that his use of women is to just take from then then discard them. He starts to fall for Sara bit by bit, while trying to defeat his enemy Bayuan in battle. In time all will be reveal with Bayuan, Sara and Arystan.
I have to admit, while reading the beginning I didn't know where the story was taking me. I debated if I should stop reading. But as I got into the story I became more engaged. I think for me personally my excitement begun, when Sara was captured and her interaction began with Arystan. I enjoyed their sexual encounters, which is very graphic. I enjoyed so many parts to the story and it's story lines. Rainura was a great addition half way through. Rainura was jealous of the growing relationship between Arystan and Sara, she wanted Arystan to come back to her and her bed. She plotted to have her way.
Towards the end it became even more entertaining for me personally, when Arystan came close to defeating Bayuan, but Sara became taken over by the chernyi tuman/ the black mist and he races to save the woman he loves with the time line to be with her. I loved it and the end was wonderful as well. Cheers to the author on what I think is a good read.
Storyline: GOOD
Intimacy: Sex-citingly GOOD
Enjoyment: GOOD

Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.I have a high pressure job and read romance novels to mellow out and relax. I just got a Kindle and started in on Warlord, recommended by a friend, and really got into this one- read it all without really stopping and I have to tell you my boyfriend really benefited the next night! I loved the sex scenes, but there was a lot of intrigue and mystery that carried my imagination all the way to the end, including the layers of paranormal and time-shifting. I am certainly going to read this author's next book!!
Where is Arystan when you need him (fanning self)? Those steamy encounters were pretty amazing. I give this book a FIVE STAR RATING- can't wait for more.

I found the writing style dull without nearly enough character development to compensate after reading 100 pages into the story. I kept waiting for it to get better based on other reviews but I just couldnt make myself finish.
