Dark Warrior Unleashed
The rough and rugged Talions, sexy warriors who stop
at nothing to deliver justice, star in this steamy new
paranormal series from Alexis Morgan.
He's on a mission to annihilate the enemy.
A Talion enforcer, Ranulf Thorsen has served his people for a thousand years, delivering the eye-for-an-eye justice by which his kinsmen live. Weary of the centuries-long fight, the fierce warrior with icy blue eyes has secluded himself on a mountain far from the chaos of the modern world below. Now he's been summoned to face the most dangerous battle of his life -- and the fate of his people is on the line.
But when he meets the beautiful woman
he has sworn to defend...
Ranulf and his bitter rival, fellow Talion Sandor Kearn, must find the rogue Kyth who set a violent fire in a nightclub. The near-deadly blaze's unlikely heroine, Kerry Logan, is also a Kyth, possessing the ancient Nordic people's unique ability to manipulate human energy. She just doesn't know it yet.
...who will protect his heart?
Kerry finds more than comfort in her warrior's embrace, and Ranulf hungers to both defend and claim the petite powerhouse for his own. But with time ticking away and their lives on the line, will Kerry believe the wild tale he's telling her, and master her powers...before it's too late?

*** ½ Three and a half stars. I hated giving this book three and a half stars. I really adore this author, and so far, have really loved her Paladin series. However, this is the first of a new series, The Talions, and I was kind of having a hard time following the plot.
I got the basic plot of the story, of course. A young woman comes into her own as having supernatural and ancient powers that she had no idea she possessed. In steps the warriors of an millennia-old dynasty that is dying out and she is there new hope to lead them. She falls in love with the biggest and baddest Viking of all time—and I mean all-time (he is over 1,000 years old) and she begins to learn about her destiny as she changes his black heart (that is marshmallow inside) with her love.
What I had a problem with, was the use of, energizing of, and depletion of their “special gifts”. I didn’t really get a grasp of how or why they used them until ¾’s of the way through the book. At times, I felt like I was reading a video game…albeit, a romantic one. Book two in the series comes out in a couple weeks and, of course, I will read it because I love this author. But I hope the next book in this series makes more sense to me.
