Warriors of Dareen #2
Stardust
Laura Chandler suffered a brutal attack by Shara soldiers on Earth. Laura was rescued by Dareen warriors, but the attack left her both mentally and physically traumatized. Dareen doctors are finally able to develop a medication to treat her mental trauma, which helps her dramatically. While she is recovering she starts to fall in love with her protector, Varnis. When there is an abduction attempt against her it is decided that she needs to be bonded to a warrior for her safety. Varnis can no longer deny his attraction for her and knows he cannot watch her go to another warrior, so he claims her as his own. His plan was to keep her safe, but unexpectedly he falls in love with her. Just as they are figuring out their love a new threat emerges that can rip them apart forever and leave Laura in an even worse hell then she ever imagined.

I absolutely love this series! Stardust picks up right where Starlight left off. We continue to get more of Kara and Joran in this one too, but Laura and Varnis are smoking hot! Did I say Varnis is a sexy God! The Warriors of Dareen are so protective of their women. They will lay down their life to keep them safe. Laura, still recovering from her trauma that her and Kara experience before they were taken to Dareen, continues to get better mentally and physically with Varnis watching over her constantly. He continually talks her back from the edge of her nightmares. As each days passes, he falls more in love with her and does not want to see her with anyone else but him and with other threats, he moves in to claim her as his own.
Sara creates a beautiful world, one that I just found myself lost in as I was reading. I could not put this book down. Along with all of the interesting things she created in this world, there are some amazingly hot, hot scenes. If you like a good story intermeshed with some amazing love scenes, then this book is for you.

What isn't there to like about this book? Laura is sassy and feisty, and Varnis is strong and has that Alpha personality that will make your panties melt right off your body. He jumps Laura right into the Dareen lifestyle with Laura and doesn't hold back. While it's a rough learning curve for her, she enjoys every moment and that only adds to the heat of the story.
Sara has a way with words that will grip hold of you and leave you terror stricken for the couple. Laura's strength is incomparable even when the climax of the story leaves you on the edge of your seat hoping everything will turn out alright in the end.
While my copy had some editing issues, it still couldn't take anything away from the incredible story Sara told amongst them.
Superb job, Sara! Excellent story telling!

Oh God, where do I begin?
The first one was amazing. This was just utterly fantastic. Just a roller-coaster ride of emotions. Happiness, anger, lust, sadness, fear...
The relationship that Varnis and Laura have is something that I would like to have once my life get's settled down a bit more. The love, the caring, the naughtiness, and the protection. It's just Aww.
It was hot and it had a great plot, wonderful character development, and the depictions of Dareen scenery made me smile. If it was real, I would very much love to go there.
An excellent read 5/5.
For anyone wanting a sci-fi/romance/erotic/BDSM type novel to read, go for the Warrior of Dareen series.
:D

I was gifted this book in exchange for my honest opinion and a review.
Stardust is the second book in the Warriors Of Dareen series, this series has captured not just my attention but my heart it is out of this world amazing.
When Laura Chandler was brutal attack by Shara soldiers whilst on Earth. Laura suffered a great deal but was rescued by some Dareen warriors, but little did they no how much this attack has left her not only mentally but physically traumatized as well.
Dareen doctors have been finally able to create and develop a medication to treat her mental trauma, which does help her allot. Whilst she is slowly recovering Laura finds that she is starting to fall in love..... with her protector, Varnis.
Trouble seems to follow Laura when there is an abduction attempt against her. so it is decided that she needs to have her very own warrior and be bonded. Varnis cannot let another day past without denying his very attraction for her and he knows deep down he cannot watch or let her go to another warrior, so he just claims her as his very own.
His plan has always been to keep her safe, but he finds that he has fallen in love with her. Now just as they are working together and figuring out their new found love a new threat has emerged that could very well rip them apart for good and leave Laura in an even greater hell then she could have ever imagined.
Will there love be torn apart or will they find great victory together forever?
Being that this is the second I could definitely see how much that Sara Anderson writing has progressed, she was already an amazing author but now you can see that writing is not only in her blood but her heart, I only wish I had half as much talent as she does.
This book is amazing not only will you fall in love with the characters but you will fall for Dareen's just like I did at first yes you think omg I will not let no man do that to me but damn don't lie because we all no we would especially with there smoking hot looks there fiercely protective nature and there all around nature.
Laura is a character you so want to reach out to help and nurture her, she was just a normal earth lady until her horrific attack now she is a change woman a shell of what she use to be on earth. she now lives on a different planet with all these new species new people new everything. Now with the help of this wonderful new medication she is starting her life all over again with a sheer determination and s fire deep down to live once more and not just for herself but for the most wonderful Dareen warrior Varnis he makes her come alive. I loved Laura her fight was something magical to read about and how she didn't wallow for long she got up and fought.
Varnis is a Dareen warrior he holds his training deep in his heart and now he has a reason to let something else in to his heart Laura the human female who they had saved from the Shara. Varnis cant help but fall for Laura quick and hard, he was the only one that was able to stay with her through her dark period the only one to connect and calm with her, he knows she is not a fragile doll but a fierce spunky woman which only makes him want her more he knows he will stop at nothing to have her as his bonded. Varnis * Fans Oneself * o my what a sexy hot dominant Dareen man they don't make them like him in the real world that's for sure, Varnis was a true knight in shining armour you cant help but love his so deeply.
I must mention some of my favourite parts of the book ones which too me show how truly amazing a writer Sarah Anderson truly is and how she is able to convey so much emotion and angst just astounds me.
“Without the Shara’s DNA causing her mental break, Laura was a woman he found impossible to resist. He had started watching over her as an assignment, but now he stayed because he enjoyed watching over her. He caught glimpses of her bratty nature, and it stirred his lust “
“ Laura opened her mouth, and he took that moment to take it. He pressed his lips to hers. He could not allow her to start asking questions and getting answers that would only frighten her. He was going to make her feel so much pleasure she would only think of pleasing him so she could get more. She would not ask questions about slavers.”
I loved this book from the first page to the very end and I just no this series will get better and better.

It Just Keeps getting Better!
I received this book in exchange for my honest and fair opinion.
Book 2 in my opinion has been great. I found the characters involved, intense, and steamy hot! I mean OMG! They had the chemistry we all wish for in a relationship.
The hero Varnis has fallen in love with the lovely broken Laura. He has spent months sitting by her bedside to protect her from the demons that plague her nightmares. Its not her fault she is now on an alien world struggling to regain her sanity! The sparks fly when Laura is finally in control of herself again and Varnis teaches her that its alright to want more from a relationship than what she'd had from the weak human lovers from her past. Varnis longs for her and tricks her into becoming his "Bonded" and shows her the darker side of himself. With alien slave traders stalking her every move. Varnis is pressed to protect her even more fiercely than before. Her exotic uniqueness is what draws their attention. The horror and terror she experiences forms a bond with her mate Varnis and helps him find her before her fate is sealed.
I loved this story as it flowed right from the first book making it seem as if the tale had never ended. A must read for anyone in love with alien romances.

What a great second book. I totally have fallen for the characters and enjoy the story line completely. If you liked book one, don't miss out on book two. Lots of hot scenes...

A great story that flowed well from the first book and had some of the same characters. Another great read and I can't wait to read more of this series! I received this in exchange for a honest review.
