A medicinal healer on the planet Utopia, Tisana is used to people stopping by her cabin to access her skills of healing.  Alone and lonely, unless she has a patient, she is left alone by the members of her town.  When Rafe, an ex-lover, shows up with his unconscious and beaten slave, Tisana is immediately intrigued.  Tisana promises her ex-lover to have the slave healed in a month’s time as he requests - not knowing that in less time she and the powerful looking slave will fall in love. 

Leo, the name given to him by his healer, is an alien from Zetithia.  With Zetithia destroyed years ago, Leo knows he is probably the only survivor.  Leo yearns for freedom but he also yearns for his beautiful nurse Tisana.  As Leo heals under Tisana’s loving care, the couple falls in love.  Much to their dismay, however, their month is cut short when Leo’s owner arrives and needs Leo’s and Tisana’s help.  The owner’s young sons have been kidnapped and since Leo is Zetithian, he is called to help track and find the missing boys.

Tisana accompanies her old lover and Leo on the hunt.  Rafe needs Tisana for her healing skills as well as her skills as a witch.  All along the way Leo and Tisana are ultra aware of each other, never knowing if they will ever be free to love each other again.

I read and loved SLAVE, Cheryl Brooks first installment of The Cat Star Chronicles.  Because of this, it was a given that I would have to read WARRIOR.  The amazing world built by Ms. Brooks drew me in but it was the well written plot and entrancing two main characters that kept me there.  I could feel Tisana’s loneliness and desire to find the one man fated for her.  Leo’s sexy and sensual prowess was over the top playful but emotional and tender as well.

A worthy second installment, WARRIOR by Cheryl Brooks, whet my appetite for more!  I can’t wait for my next visit to the world that this talented author writes about.
