Book Reviews of Love's Tender Warriors
Book Review: A Wonderful Martial Arts Romance
Summary: 5 Stars
I was able to re-read Love's Tender Warriors by Radclyffe this weekend. This is a great story that takes the reader on a journey through the world of martial arts. Radclyffe gives a glympse of the parallels of the rigid structure of martial arts with that of the military. Retired marine Drew Clark returns home to teach in the dojang she trained in for many years and unexpectantly falls in love with the schools top student, Dr. Sean Gray. The story has one of those typical love story themes of the injured mysterious stranger who needs to heal before she can truly love and the loving caring and patient woman who ultimately helps her to open up and love again. Although we might recognize the story, we can't know how Radclyffe will tell it. She is masterful at telling the story, weaving in little bits of each character as the story progresses. And it is amazing how Rad can show an attraction developing just by describing the looks that transpire between two people. We all know they will end up together, but it doesn't stop the anticipation of how and when it will happen.
And as always with a Radclyffe novel, that is not the only story. Radclyffe is good at developing side stories and characters that add dimension to the story. This is one thing that separates her work from many of the others. It's not always just about the two main characters. In this story, Sean's twin sister Susan finds herself in a whirlwind of heartache with her lover Ellen. These side characters allow for the writer to add real life heartache with out ruining the fantasy of the perfect love story with the main characters.
There is a bit of mystery with the story. We don't find out until the end what haunts Drew and if she is able to over come it. I also found myself wondering if Sean every earns her black belt.
