A Warlord's Lady Review

A Warlord's Lady by Nicola E. Sheridan
Published November 1, 2013 by Escape Publishing
Science Fiction/Fantasy with a touch of Paranormal
4 Mystical Stars



"A heroine with a body that resembles my own!  Something that is, unfortunately, a rarity in novels."





Summary -

Magic, murder and mayhem collide when an ordinary woman meets a powerful warlord — and writes a bestselling, tell-all book...

It's got to be Stockholm Syndrome...

Eighteen fateful months ago, Sabra was kidnapped by the infamous magician warlord Cain Dath, and her body just won't let her forget. Hidden in the humid depths of the Laos jungle, she shared everything with him, but he never shared his heart.

In his position of power, Cain cannot show weakness. He must lead his people to freedom and no one — not even the woman he's fast becoming obsessed with — can stand in his way.

Then Sabra sells her story of love slavery in a tell-all exposé and brings fame, fortune, and every one of his enemies down upon them both. Now, she is open to attack on all fronts, and he can no longer stay away. The man who enslaved her may well be the only man who can save her.  (Goodreads)



Review -

Ever wonder why some authors are so good at telling a tale?  How within each page you can get the feeling of actually being there, as though the words on the page and the world created within them are actually real?  What if it was, what if the author really was speaking from experience?  That ladies and gentleman is exactly the tale being spun in A Warlord's Lady, in a fun, exciting and brightly dark way.
.
Sabra Westwood, a very buxom beauty who is also a Chameleon, decides to write her own memoirs after escaping the infamous Warlord, Cain Dath.  Afterall, he had the audacity to kidnap her, shag her senseless, lavish her like a queen for months, then allow her to believe she was no more than another concubine in his harem of women, what's a girl to do?  What Sabra doesn't realize is that by writing her tell-all, she has unwittingly told all of her own secrets as well.  Secrets she didn't even know about herself.  Now, not only does she have to worry about being RE-kidnapped by Cain, she also has the government, the Magical Mafia and the Shadow Men after her as well. 

Although there may be a few, though not many, dull moments, any book that has the ability to make the reader feel, smile, laugh, gasp and cringe, sometimes all in the same chapter, is a worthwhile read in my book.
