How The Warrior Claimed
Falling Warriors, #2
by Nicole René
Release Date: October 8th 2017
Cover Designer: Marisa Shor, Cover Me Darling
Genre: Dark Historical Romance


The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . HOW THE WARRIOR CLAIMED (Falling Warriors, #2) . . . Wickedly dark, delicious, dangerous . . . Tyronian knew his heart. He knew that one woman would make him better in every way. He knew he had to wait for that woman to grow. He gave her time. He promised that time and now it’s up. Watch out Namoriee. He is coming. He is coming full force.  To have the love, dedication, protection and more from one man. That could be a lot for a woman to handle. Especially one so young and innocent as Namoriee.

I wanted to make sure that I did not miss anything of this read, so I went back an read book one again just before this one appeared on my Kindle. I took my time reading it this time around. I was satisfied enough to move on and know that I would love this one just as much as the first. There was one difference. I was able to give this one a full five-star review everywhere. That was mainly because Tyronian was different. He was not your typical historical highland warrior. He was strong, determined, possessive, protective, self -assured and then some. He was also sweet, dedicated, and knew his heart belonged to one woman. He did not fight it. He did not run from it. He did not try to forget her. He was determined to have her, his way, in his time.

I got me a wonderful trip to the past. Dark warriors. Erotic coupling. Exasperating females. Dominating males. Intriguing interplay. The read overall was a dark tone but sweet with heat, alluring and sensual, innocent with curiosity. Namoriee may have needed more time to grow and learn more about herself. You can clearly see her moment of self-doubt. There was more between the two and less at the same time.

I look forward with great anticipation for the next addition to this series. Tyronian was the perfect alpha hero with sweet heat all mixed together.

BLURB
HE was the chief’s cousin…

Namoriee knew the only way to protect herself against the blond-haired gentle giant was to stay away. The way her heart pounded and her insides fluttered when he was near could only lead to disaster.

Two years ago he made a promise to her that she never thought he intended to keep.

She was wrong.

SHE was the handmaiden…

Tyronian wanted Namoriee even when he knew he couldn’t have her. The need to possess her was so deep, it took every ounce of mental and physical strength he had to keep the promise he made to her that stormy night.

He promised he would wait until she was older.

He promised her two years.

But now… time’s up.

Namoriee wants nothing to do with him but he has no plans on stopping until she’s in his bed, and he’s in her heart.

She will be his. Forever.

Whether she likes it or not.

 “Tyronian w-w-what are you doing here?”
Tyronian almost smiled at the stutter, a sure sign that she was unnerved, if it wasn’t the fact that she was about to get ready to sleep here—alone—instead of with him in their hut.
 “Funny,” he said, closing the door behind him. “I was just going to ask you the same. Care to enlighten me?” He looked down at her when he came to a stop in front of her. Namoriee licked her lips nervously, an action that made his cock twitch to life.
The things he could make her do with those lips…
 “I-I was j-just…” Her breath faltered out of her when he pulled her closer to him. His nose nuzzling the top of her head and breathing in the scent of her.
 “You were just...what?” he prompted, enjoying how his proximity affected her.
 “Aggod is sick so I j-j-just thought that I’d—”
“You just thought that you would avoid me by hiding out here, instead of coming to bed with your husband?”
Her silence told him that he was right.
“You can’t escape me, Namoriee. No matter how hard you try. If you run, I’ll catch you. If you hide, I’ll find you.” His hands traveled down the length of her, relishing in the tremble he felt at his touch.
She gave the slightest moan at the sensation, so quiet, he wouldn’t have heard it if he didn’t have his lips against her throat. Her skin tasted salty, and sweet.
 It was addicting.
He gripped her hips, pulling her close enough that she could feel the bulge in his pants. His body’s natural response to her presence.
“You’ll find that the man I was with you before is gone. He would have let you try and avoid him, and not done anything about it. He was a man who wanted someone bad enough that he was willing to wait for her to grow up…that man is dead.”
“D-d-dead?” Her voice was positively breathy. He nipped the juncture of her neck and shoulder.
“Dead.”
“What man am I looking at now, then?” Shivering when his tongue apologized for the nip against her caramel flesh. He pulled back and smiled—but it wasn’t a smile.
It was primitive, possessive, and completely venereal.
“One that has been starving for two winters, which is a lot of time to figure out exactly what he’ll do once he has the woman he’s wanted. And believe me, she’ll get just as much pleasure out of the experience as he will.”

 

Nicole René is a San Diego native living with her grumpy kitty, Sebastian and her crazy cute Boxer, Walter.

When she’s not busy creating sexy alpha males, you can most likely find her with her nose stuck in a book reading OTHER sexy alpha males, kicking back with her friends and family, at the movies, or further fueling her “The Little Mermaid” and “The Lord of the Rings” obsession.


She is a certified klutz, often tripping over invisible objects, dropping things like they were hot, and playing ping-pong with the walls. She has lots of tattoos, loves to eat sushi—but hates eating cooked fish, hates going to the beach (even though she’s surrounded by them), and is still waiting for her Hogwarts letter to come in the mail.
