What can I say, I love this woman's creative writing style. She has yet to disappointment with any of her 15 books she has published thus far. And the long-awaited reunification of Laura and Magni was well worth the wait.
Laura, oh Laura the trouble you have caused for the Motherlands and the Nmen. Thank you. It's because of you that we owe this journey too. Back in book one The Protector, Laura decided she wanted to stand on her own feet and crossed the border setting Magni into a rage so deep that he then crossed the border but, being unable to retrieve Laura he does the unthinkable and breaks a treaty that has been set in place for I believe 300 years and kidnaps a female Motlander (Name for people of the Motherland). Way to go Magni. So that should catch you for the most part. To really get caught up read the series because it is AMAZING.
The Warrior picks up rather quickly with Elin wasting no time for the duo to reconnect. Which I was pleased to see, I don't know how much longer I could have waited for the two to essentially battle it out. This book however I felt leaned more towards the sexual components. Not a bad thing. The scenes were well written, there was just so much more than the previous books. Which makes sense considering the couples time apart from each other.
The storyline developed nicely, with Laura still trying to prove that she is as strong as any man even though she is woman. And Magni still being the brute of man he is stuck in gender specific roles. The big difference I notice in Book 5 vs. the other four books is that the past characters while they remain a part of the plot we don't get to revisit them as much as the other books allowed. But even for the times they did come into play Elin was sure to give us an update as too where the characters stood and how they progress of the integration school was forming.
Being able to not only following the growth of our adult member but our students and teachers aid added the perfect touch allowing Magni to grow and showing Laura that Magni is the softest teddy bear of them all when it comes to the students in particular, the young Mila. There were many times when I wanted to scream at the both of them, when they were together and when they were separated. Both had a way of pushing you to the edge of dislike only to win you over again with the reasoning behind their action. I had a long battle myself with these two extremely stubborn and hard-headed characters. But in the end, you can't deny the chemistry that these two have. This book shows that even though you and your spouse may not share the same opinion doesn't mean that a relationship can't withstand.

I've read books #1-5 and loved them all for different reasons. These books may not be what you think they are. This series has quite strong female characters and is definitely feminist in theme. At its heart, this series is about the importance of maintaining an equilibrium of both men's and women's voices for a healthy society.

This book was worth the wait. I was just telling a friend how the premise is genius. Magni and Laura had me in stitches! It was the battle of the sexes. I really enjoyed delving into Magni's psyche. Laura has learned a lot from the Momsies and is not willing to be shoved in the obedient wife category. I enjoyed the integration of last book characters. I highly recommend this book and series. I especially loved the epilogue.

Amazing!!
I greatly enjoyed all the previous books in this series and this book is no exception. This book is so eye opening and full of important issues such as dealing with emotions, culture clashes, and love. I love the sprinkles of humor and hot steamy scenes throughout the book. The spanking was a huge plus in my opinion. I enjoyed every word and I look forward to the next book, The Genius.

I am volunteering to leave a review for a Beta of this book. I am in love with this series by Elin. I am not just saying this because I am a beta reader for her. By the time Elin shares the books with her beta readers, they are so well written, that I find I comment on dialogue that makes me laugh out loud! Her books have a wonderful mix of serious, funny, sexy! If you have not read any of the books in this series, I will tell you, you will enjoy them and the many hours you will spend with her characters. I have loved my time spent with them all!!!
