A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Victoria Cross
A Warriors Longing is definitely steamy. The chemistry between Lord Gage and Meiken is strong enough to raise anyone’s blood pressure. C.A. Salo did an excellent job blending the sci-fi, romance and erotica genres. Not everyone can do it so seamlessly. However, while the overall plot is solid, some scene transitions seem rough, almost rushed. Some of the characters seem to be rushed in, while others seem to be rushed out, leaving loose ends that seem to be forgotten. I think with a little bit of character building and a little polish, the book could be much improved. Not that it’s horrible, by any means. It just seems rushed. Despite the rushed feeling of the book, it was a pleasant read, and I wouldn’t hesitate to read any of C.A. Salo’s other books.
