Now Hakan’s son Niro has appointed Alistair to lead the Larmat clan. Niro’s hope is to finally bring peace to the people of Malka by joining the two clans.

A Song for My Warrior by Justus Roux is an emotionally stirring passionate romance that deals with the hatred of prejudice. The characters are remarkable for what they experience does not make them act out against others. They are both kind and know what it feels like to be hated for something that they had no control over. They believe that peace is possible between the races and each person should be judged on their own merits not their race. The story conveys the pain Alistair experiences from the way he is treated and leaves the reader wanting him to find happiness. Anne has experienced similar pain but she has dealt better because she had found some acceptance from the people of Earth. That is not to say that she did not experience the pain of being called half-breed and abomination as well as a few other names that cruel minded people tossed at her. But she grew up with her parents and their love that reinforces the fact that people of different races can find love together. She is wonderful in trying to help Alistair find peace in his heart. Their attraction is instant when they meet it is as they have been hit by lightening. Their passion blazes out of control. Their intimate encounters are described in steamy explicit details to aid the reader’s imagination. This romance is a wonderful depiction of love and understanding. No matter what pain and injustice they continue to experience their love remains true. The action in the story comes from the danger they experience as people try to destroy them. Because of Alistair mixed heritage it is believed that he is unable to be their ruler. He will end up having to battle for his love and prove to the people he is worthy to be a leader. A Song for My Warrior by Justus Roux is an emotionally stirring, passionately exciting, action-packed romance that details a love that grows from similar experiences and understanding. I highly recommend this book to all readers. Overall rating: Reviewer: Anita
Justus Roux has enchanted me with her BARBARIANS OF MALKA series and I now anxiously await each new addition. The storylines have all been vastly different while still encompassing this planet full of barbaric men who have resorted to taking Earth women as mates in order to ensure that their people don’t die out. Alistair and Anne are bold characters who will charm readers with their gentleness and honest emotional reactions to each other. A SONG FOR MY WARRIOR is a wonderful addition to this thrilling series. I’m practically salivating just imagining what Ms. Roux will come up with next. There is mention of another planet being found that’s full of warrior women who should also be compatible with the males of Malka so I can hardly wait to see how these men handle women who are so similar to them. 4.5 out 5 Chrissy Dionne Romance Junkies http://www.romancejunkiesreviews.com/artman/publish/article_6488.shtml
The third book in the Barbarians of Malka series, A Song for My Warrior is a grand and well-developed love story between two people who have both been misunderstood by society’s prejudice. Ms. Roux has again created thoroughly developed characters with unique personalities and a plot that shines with vivid descriptions. Both Alistair and Anne are detailed characters. Alistair is tenderhearted and not much of an alpha male, which makes his love of Anne more believable. Likewise, Anne’s personality doesn’t melt under the stressful situation in Malka. Her sweet songbird voice and desire to become a veterinarian survive, even when her freedom is restricted. I fully believed in their growing relationship as evidenced in the time they spend together, both in the bedroom as well as out of it. They are a compatible couple whose sexuality is both wildly exciting yet also lovingly sensual. As in the previous two books, the return to Malka heralds more unrest between the Dascon and Larmat tribes.

A Song
for My Warrior is book three in Justus Roux’s Barbarians of Malka series.
This is the first book of the series I have read and I am totally fascinated
with the complex world of Malka this author has created. The hot and steamy
sex is icing on the cake of a terrific story that held my attention from
beginning to end. If you enjoy stories of love on other worlds or love
between people from two completely different cultures, then check out this
terrific book.
This is the third book in the Barbarians of Malka series, and I
have to tell you, I’m a sucker for barbarian kidnapping stories. The author
has a brash, straightforward style of storytelling, and it works well in
this novel. I liked the characters of Anne and Alistair, who seemed like
real people to me. The sex scenes are very graphic, mostly between committed
male/female couples. The reader should be aware that there is one rape scene
which is used to illustrate the evil nature of the villains. I thought this
story was quite enjoyable, as I have liked all of the Malka series books,
and believe that readers of futuristic and science fiction romance will
enjoy it as well. 3 out 5 Angels http://www.fallenangelreviews.com/2007/January/Jean-ASongForMyWarrior.htm
A Song For My Warrior by Justus Roux is a hard book to put down. Ms. Roux once again constructs characters that come to life right from the first page. Anne and Alistair are a couple that have tremendous passion and strength. A Song For My Warrior is not only a spicy erotic tale; it is also a provocative look at prejudice in two different cultures. Anne and Alistair are a perfect blend because they each know what it is like to be looked down on just because of your parents’ differences.
