Phantom Warriors

review 1: The Phantom Warriors series of books has some issues. It's not the best written series or the most women's lib series out there. Don't get me wrong...the women in this series are all strong and smart women, but the general premise of the books is that the women are mated to the Phantom Warriors because they are compatible and then pheromones take over and they end up having sex, which furthers the mating, and then the women take on some of the genetic traits of the warriors they're mated to. These are candy books. You know they aren't the best thing for you, but you can't put them down. You'll stay up late into the night reading and you'll move from one book to the next so you can find out what happens to each of these warriors. My biggest complaint was that every book use... mored the same exact language. Was the language bad? No. But when you buy these books as a boxed set and then you read seven of them in a row, you're going to get a little...tired. This is where a good, solid edit could come in handy. But that said, the sex is hot, the warriors strong and completely and utterly protective of their mates, and the women have their own distinct personalities. All in all, a nice way to pass the evening, even if they might not quite be worth losing sleep over.
review 2: Bacchus lives on a planet where they have a shortage of women. He was given a mission to find a planet that has females that they can mate with. When he first gets to earth he see's a woman then a man that he can sense likes her so he reads the mans thoughts and memories to learn about interactions between men and women on the planet and that's when he see's the man's ex fiancé Jill. He is drawn to her and he has to find her. He has a feeling that she is his mate. Jill studied Reptiles in college but that is not what she does for her work. She does dog training classes and dog breeding for the owners. She has not really lived her life since the death of her brother and her fiancé leaving her. When a man shows up claiming to know her ex he reluctantly spends time with him. She finds herself very attracted to him, extremely so and finds it a little odd. Bacchus only has a short amount of time to find out if Jill is his mate and convince her to go to his planet with him. In order to find out if she is his mate he has to put her through a series of tests that she doesn't know about. One of them is giving her his other form also which is a Reptile. Will Bacchus be successful or will Jill decide she wants to stay on earth. I thought that this was a good book. I found one part in particular while Jill was breeding some dogs a bit weird and disturbing , which is why I gave a 4 star review. Most shifter books deal with the usual shifters, wolves, cats, bears, etc... So for this one to have a Reptilian shifter was definitely different. As I was reading some of the other reviews for this book I seen a lot of poor reviews and everyone has their own opinion but keep in mind that this is a short story and it and the characters will not be as well developed as a longer Novel. I would definitely recommend reading this but I do hope that you keep in mind that again it is a short story and with it having a reptilian shifter it is different on many levels. I will be reading more from this author. 'Read and Reviewed by LSK Sweetheart Reviews' less
