Dark Warrior Alliance #14
Fire Warrior
Breslin Tarakesh isn’t your typical Vampire Princess. She loves designer clothes and bling, but is at home in her fighting leathers with her sais in hand. Court politics are not her thing and she eschews everything to do with the simpering suck-ups that want to use her family to gain favor. She’s meant for more than elaborate crowns and parties. She wasn’t given the power to wield fire simply to light candles. She prefers frying demons instead. As the only female Dark Warrior in the Seattle compound, she is accustomed to dealing with males and their quirks. If only centuries of living with flirtatious males prepared her for meeting her Fated Mate. She has never dreamed of being wooed with hearts and flowers, but she imagined her mate would be loyal and true. Enter her sexy fire demon and her survival hangs by a singed thread.
Rhett Kaufman loves the company of females as much as he loves to go on his walkabouts. Staying in one place and with one female smothers the fire in his veins. And, for a fire demon there is no worse fate than losing their life force. So when he discovers he’s Breslin’s Fated Mate, he packs his bags and leaves. He isn’t mate material and she is better off finding another. Unfortunately for Rhett, Breslin haunts him every waking minute. Will he be able to stay away from the one female that ignites an inferno in his system?

Keeps getting better
Rhett is a fire demon that has lived on his own for over a thousand years. Breslin is a vampire who has the power of fire while her twin brothers power is ice.
Breslin has been attracted to Rhett for long time but hasn't said anything because she thinks that he is a player. One day she gives in and IND out that Rhett is her mate. Since Rhett doesn't know anything about mates, because fire demons don't have mates, he asks for her to explain. When she does he starts feeling overwhelmed because he is used to only being responsible for himself. He tells her that he needs to leave to see his mother and go on a walkabout. She yells at him and tells him fine, leave. What she doesn't tell him s that she now can only drink his blood. She won't be able to ingest anything else.
So, when he comes back six months later she is very weak. She takes his blood but doesn't want anything else to do with him.
Rhett has to prove to her that he cares and that their relationship deserves a second chance.
All this is going on while the blue demon Crocell is stealing children to have enough power to bring her sister back. Rami is fighting with his archangel boss who won't let him help find Crocell in order to protect Izzy.
I love the DWA books. This one is no different except I wish Breslin would have owned up to the fact that she had a part in why Rhett left for so long because she didn't tell him all the truth about needing his blood. She blamed him for everything but some of it was her fault.
I am so excited about Rami's book coming next, he deserves a HEA. I hope that this series continues with more stories maybe even council members getting mates.

Breslin did not want to have feelings for the Fire Demon, Rhett. He was a womanizer and, on top of that, he was annoying. When she drinks a little too much at Bhric's wedding reception she can't stop herself from giving in to her desires for the sexy demon. When the mate mark appears she is shocked, but not half as shocked as he is. Fire Demons don't have fated mates. They are wanderers and find it hard to stay in one place. It is all to much for Rhett and he disappears, not knowing that he is now the only one that Breslin can drink from. When he finally returns six months later he is horrified to see his vampire is weak and near death. And her family is not too happy with, gulp, that means the Vampire King and the rest of the Dark Warriors are going to make sure he sticks around one way or the other. Can he do this? He better hope so.

As always Trim and Julka have hit it out of the park with another awesome Dark Warrior Alliance book. We have read about almost everyone of the warriors and this time it's the Princess of the Vampires Brestin Tarakesh she is flashy and loves her clothes and shoes. She's the kick ass princess with tons of taste. Brestin has been dancing around one of the warriors Rhatt Kaufman for quite awhile but neither one of them want to give in. Rhatt takes a walkabout to clear his head but Brestin is still there, it's the same with Brestin. This book is full of sex, fighting and defending the humans. Trim and Julka have a way with making their books such a page turner you don't sleep for a few days. And wonder what's next. Now, lets see who going to get a mate next.

*NOTE* May contain spoilers and is a cliffhanger.
I want to start my review with this, I’ve read all of the books in this series and as Breslin is the only sister in the Tarakesh Family, I’ve been waiting for her story for 13 books. She is the kick ass sister, the upbeat positive force in the family welcoming her brothers fated mates into the fold. I wanted her to have a great love and knew there would be obstacles but Trim and Julka really threw me on this one. All the characters in the series are so different from each other and I thought I knew Breslin and I sure wasn’t expecting her to let Rhett walk away without a fight. I cried and I laughed as I read their story and I ended the book upset with the authors but also, impatient for Ramiel’s story. I can’t wait for the next book! Fire Warrior is definitely one of the best books in the series!

Breslinn & Rhett
Must say this is not one of my favorites in this series. I saw Breslinn getting a mate more like Mack. A warrior like her. Not a investment banker. He doesn't even like to fight. He didn't want to help with the construction around the compound. Did he realize they were building homes for kids that were to keep them from being kidnapped? I mean even I would find a way to help with that & I'm physically disabled. I can still make food & drink though. I am glad he finally found a way to contribute, but still think he should physically help out. I just don't see Breslinn as a weepy heartbroken warrior. I give her A for effort though for trying to date after finding her mate. The goddess is really serious about you choosing who she picked for you.

Oh Wow!!! Hot, Hot, Hot!!! (Pun intended!) This is a fantastic paranormal romance story and a great addition to the continuing saga of the Dark Warrior Alliance series. I read this book in one sitting as I couldn’t put the story down. Loved the story of Rhett and Breslin! It had the perfect combination of romance, misunderstandings, mystery, and angst. Can’t wait for the next book in the series as the cliffhanger at the end of this story left me wondering: "Oh No!!! What will they do???" I received this book as an ARC review from the authors and am voluntarily leaving this well-deserved review!

Fire Warrior is book 14 in the Dark Warrior Alliance Series. That in and of itself is an amazing feat in that most series have to tap out at five or six books because they start becoming repetitive. Authors Brenda Trim and Tami Julka have not ran out of ideas yet and they are able to craft yet another book in the series that engages the reader as much as the first.
Fire Warrior is finally Breslin's story, and it has its own ups and downs.
In addition to fBreselin, we still get to keep up with the rest of the residents of Zerum and it is so much fun to see what is going on with them all and what new things are happening in the general population.

This series gets better and better. I couldn’t wait too read Breslin & Rhett’s story. Their chemistry is off the chat but Rhett is a wanderer and never stays in one place that long but being around Breslin he may finally found his home. Breslin & Rhett will take you on an emotional rollercoaster. And the ending holy shit I need the next book ASAP. Definitely a series you will absolutely want too read.

Hot and cold
Is what I would have called this book. The couple zig and zagged throughout the store. Between yes I love, and am committed and hate, anger, need to leave and walk about alone.
Ending chapters could have used changes. Frankly don’t feel like they are fully committed. Maybe one couple adventure where it demonstrated there commitment would have done it.not just sex.
Last was the erratic powers after joining. Not fully explained.

Breslin and Rhett
This book is a good addition to the series. The vampire princess with the gift of fire, Breslin, gets her own story and it's a doozie. Ever since Rhett, a fire demon came on the scene, Breslin has felt off balance. She's both attracted to and repelled by the incorrigible flirt, Mr hit it and quit it. So what's the harm of one and done to get him out of her system.
In an epilogue of sorts, there is a strong lead in to book fifteen. It looks good.

Fire and More Fire!
Breslin in Rhett have their story but man the twist turns and heartache and happiness just about wore me out. If you have not read this Dark Warrior Series by Benda Trim and Tami Jullka you are missing a very wild ride of emotions. I have read many books but this series has stood out in my heart. I look forward to the next book in the series

This book was very exciting and fun to read. I rather enjoyed reading it. Made me want to get the next book in the series. But no can do I am on a budget. Anyway, Brenda did a wonderful job in making the characters come alive. I recommend reading it to anyone. Lovely job writing the book. I got this book in a give away. It was so to me that I wanted to write a review on it.

Fire Warrior is the fourteenth book in the Dark Warrior Alliance series. This can be read as a standalone. There is violence and sex. While I have really enjoyed most of the books in this series, this one wasn't as exciting. It was okay and I'm glad I read it (since I've read all the rest of the series). But it wasn't as good as most of the other books.

Awesome read
I read this latest addition to the Dark Warriors tales in one night. I couldn't put it down. Rhett and Breslin's story set against the struggle of good and evil was a page turner. Another great addition to the saga of the Warriors and their mates

Another winner
This book is another stunner and does not disappoint. If you have not read this arrogantly definitely should. This story is a great continuation of this epic saga and I can't wait for the next installment. The sneak peak has me chomping at the bit

Breslin and Rhett may be fated mates but they fight that fact with all their might. Can Breslin believe that will Rhett to give up his womanizing ways and stay devoted to her? Will Rhett ever believe in fated mates. Great story

Fire Warrior
Another good warrior book. This is a great series in that they are all stand alone reads but connected so that the storyline continues with each book. Heroes and heroines all strong but vulnerable in their own way completing each other as they find their mates.

She was a hard sell. From the beginning she almost like hated her mate. She should have figured it out from the way he just irked her at every turn. But he was exactly what she needed.
The need for the fireproof room is too funny.

It was okay
I enjoyed the book but had a hard time with how fast Brelin flipped a switch from completely hating him to having sex with him every other second. I know they are mates but the switch was just too fast.

Paranormal romance
I love this series! This book seemed so rushed though. I was very disappointed in the way it jumped time and added things after the action that isn't even written about. Don't know if that makes sense, but that's the best way to describe.

Wow!!
I have loved every book in this series but this is the best one yet. I was totally emerged in the story and shocked at the ending. Very seldom does a story allow me to get so invested into the characters that I am shocked. It leaves you wanting more.

Finally Breslin decides to take Rhett up on his sexual advances.
It doesn't take genius to know what happens next, but the next few steps are surprising.
It's an excellent episode, finishing with a heart stopping drama, which will send you to reading the next episode.

Proofread please
The series has been dancing around this relationship ever since they introduced Rhett. Their story runs hot and cold with the bonus that it makes you want to slap something.

These books completely tear me apart. Just when I think I’ve read the best one yet the next one hits. Breslin is amazing and that ending has stressed me. If you love vampire warriors, witches, angels and demons you need this series in your life.
