The Warrior

The Warrior - Kinley MacGregor For a long time I thought this would be a four-star story. However, about half-way through the story structure became a little too apparent for me to enjoy thoroughly: boy meets girl, hate each other, get into trouble, one rescues the other, like each other, get into trouble, one rescues the other, become attracted to each other, get into trouble, one rescues the other, fall in love with each other but don't admit it, get into trouble, one rescues the other, admit their love, get into trouble, one rescues the other, marry. the end.

I wasn't expecting the semi-explicit sexual scenes into a book like The Warrior, but then again, the author is of course known for erotic literature as well.

The setting in medieval Europe (Scotland, England and France) is nice and the written dialects make it appealing to read. It was a long time ago I read a book written from the third-know-it-all-person and I'm happy I encountered it again as it allows for interesting perspectives as a reader.

Not sure if I'll read other `Brotherhood of the Sword' or `MacAllister' books. Perhaps if someone can recommend them?
