Nina Harris’ life wasn’t going so hot for her. Her love life stunk, her career if you could call it that was going nowhere. The only solace she had was her karate training. But after one of her karate classes, Nina gets abducted and taken to the planet of Malka. After spending the whole trip to Malka defending herself from a large barbarian warrior, Nina wanted nothing more than to speak to these barbarians leader and demand they return her to Earth.
Demos saw Nina walking off the Rundal ship in chains and Rai her would be protector covered in bruises. Never had he seen a female so brave, so able to defend herself before. He instantly is attracted to her. It is more than her beauty that captivates him, it is her spirit. He challenges Rai to become Nina’s protector and wins. Her reluctance to accept him confuses but intrigues him.
Nina must adjust to the male dominated world of Malka without losing who she is. Demos both infuriates and excites her, and shows her an unconditional love she has never felt before. Will they be able to overcome the many obstacles that stand in the way of their happiness? Or are they to different?

A fast moving and highly interesting novel, A Warrior’s Will, sequel
to Protector of My Heart, pulled me into the intricacies of the wild
world filled with alpha men and too few women to go around. I felt that I
needed to have read the previous novel to understand the particulars around
the culture as well as the reasons behind the hatred between the two tribes;
without that additional background, I wouldn’t have understood the
animosity. The feral nature of these men is fascinating, especially their
overly dominant attitudes and extremely aggressive natures. The culture is
absolutely captivating, from the traditions to the manner of protecting
women. Additionally, the characters are quite exceptional. Demos is a more
caring and understanding man than his counterpart from the first novel. I
felt him to be more indulgent and affectionate to the strong and willful
Nina. Likewise, Nina doesn’t easily accept her new life, fighting with an
internal strength that I found admirable. Once she acknowledges that she is
a woman in a new world, she makes the best of it, thereby impressing me even
more. I didn’t feel the deep love between these two characters until later
in it the book, but when their interactions allowed their deepening love to
become more palpable, I fell in love with them. The sex scenes are
dominating and scrumptiously controlling. Demos is kind, but obvious in his
need, while Nina screams for their sexual interaction. I truly enjoyed this
untamed and slightly brutal world and would recommend this read to anyone
looking for a refreshing change of alpha-male pace. 4 out 5
Justus Roux has written a book
with aliens, fierce warriors and lots of hot couplings. The storyline is
believable, befitting the genre, and the pacing is just fast enough to keep

A WARRIOR'S WILL is one of the coolest books I've read in a long time. Nina is a 'kick-butt and take names later' character that had me eagerly reading just to see what she'd do next. Demos is exactly what she needs in a man but she's no meek little female looking for a protector, she can take care of herself and won't hesitate to do so. While I found a lot of humor in Nina's behavior, the rest of the story took me through a wide range of emotions, I experienced pure raw anger, disbelief, joy, and at one point cried along with the characters. While this story may be fantasy, Justus Roux created a world you could easily imagine as reality. Robin and Niro's story can be found in the companion book PROTECTOR OF MY HEART. A WARRIOR'S WILL is definitely a keeper, and one I'll read many times over.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Chrissy Dionne www.romancejunkies.com
A Warrior’s Will is a
sequel to Protector of My Heart, and follows the further adventures of the
warriors of the planet Malka. The plot is basically, barbarian civilization
needs females, so they capture some Earth women who prove to be fertile with
them. Along the way, the Earth females teach the macho warriors a lot about
love and trust. The fun thing about this story are the characters of Nina
and Demos. Nina knows that she can’t make herself into a dependent little
woman just because she’s in their macho society, so she finds ways to fit
in, and still be true to herself. Demos begins the story as a social
conservative, but eventually learns to trust Nina and her instincts. In many
ways, these two books have the ambiance of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s John
Carter of Mars series ... except with a lot more sex ... lots and lots of
sex ... in every imaginable position. There’s a bit of kink and bondage as
well. This one is a fun romp through space. I can’t wait for the next one in
the series ... 4 out 5 angels For rest of review go to http://www.fallenangelreviews.com/September2005/Jean-AWarriorsWill.htm
Justus Roux certainly stepped up her game with A Warrior’s Will. She took her incredible talent for creating a world of fantasy and combined it with super characters. The result was a fast paced book enjoyable from start to finish. Nina is not some meek woman unable to protect herself. I enjoyed the way Nina challenged the male minds of the Dascon. Demos cares for Nina so deeply he is able to allow her to be herself. He wants to be her knight in shining armor. His actions are romantic and tenderhearted. The lovemaking between Demos and Nina is both steamy and tender. When reading A Warrior’s Will keep a glass of ice water handy. You’re going to need it! 4.5 out 5 Tara Renee
