Librarian Note: This is the updated cover for ASIN B01MQDLEOU

The most important tenet of being a Dark Warrior is to uphold the law and order of the Tehrex Realm, but one look at an Angel’s Kiss victim and Santiago breaks every rule. Thumbing his nose at the Vampire King and his life at Zeum, Santiago is shocked when his Omega refuses him sanctuary within the pack. Facing life as a lone wolf doesn’t deter Santiago from his mission as he continues to fight evil and put an end to the destructive drug taking over the realm. He is forced to evaluate his principles when he discovers the assassin hired to kill him is his Fated Mate. Will the domino affect of killing his mate’s brother threaten not only his position as a Dark Warrior, but her trust and love?

Tori’s human life ended centuries before when Freya found her dying on a battlefield. She’s never fit in with the other Valkyrie and looks forward to fulfilling the required time with the Assassin’s Guild so she can pursue her true passion of painting. What she plans as her last job is enticing for two reasons…the high dollar figure attached and the fact that the mark is her brother’s killer. Tori curses fate when her hatred for Santiago is outweighed by her attraction. Determined to find the proof necessary to condemn Santiago, she isn’t prepared when it backfires and her morals and beliefs are called into question.

This is an engaging read that held my attention throughout. Santiago is a wolf shifter, policeman and Dark Warrior who has stepped over the line to judge and executioner. Angel Kiss, a drug that is instantly addictive to paranormals, is a growing threat to the Realm and he's determined to find the creator and stop it's distribution. Taking out a few dealers along the way seems justified, until what he's doing comes to light.

Tori is a Valkyrie assassin who has a contract with Santi's name on it, which fits her purposes since she's almost certain he killed her brother, Miguel. Santiago says Miguel was dealing Angel Kiss, but Tory doesn't believe it. The problem is, something keeps holding her back.

This series is hard on it's females, and this book is no exception. It's also a great story of self discovery and redemption. I'm looking forward to book eleven.

Santiago admits he's wrong.

Thanks to Tori who is a Valkyie. I can't believe she gets over the fact that Santiago killed her brother. And he doesn't sound very remorseful. Yeah her brother had changed in the last 10 years, but he was still her brother. Tori forces him to look at why he is fighting and Santi doesn't like what he finally sees. He misses the Dark Warriors a lot. He has alienated himself from them and his pack by not taking his punishment. I love that Tori likes to solve crimes like Santi. However, I have never heard of Valkyrie actually being assassins. I have to say if I was Tori I'd be glad to get out of the profession! We see glimpses of Orlando's fated mate in this book. He's got his work cut out for him. She already has a mate although he's a piece of trash! Anyone who would beat up a pregnant woman is scum of the earth! Can't wait to see how this one plays out.

Santiago has nothing to lose now that he left the Dark Warriors and now his pack. Santiago thinks he is doing right until he meets Tori and everything changes. Tori is out for revenge on Santiago but something is holding her back. The chemistry between them is off the charts and can’t be denied anymore. I liked this story especially getting Orlando’s story too. Santiago & Tori are fated mates and have been through so much and together they can get through anything. This series is addicting and can’t wait too read more.

I have been provided with a copy of Rogue Warrior by the author for an impartial review. This is the tenth book in the Dark Warrior Alliance series and it picks up with Santiago and the mess that he has gotten himself into. I really enjoyed getting know more about Santiago and his fated mate Tori. It was really interesting getting to see if they could get past all that had transpired between them. I really enjoyed this story and it totally had me. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Howling good

Okay I did not like Santi at first. Dreaded reading his story and if it wasn’t for his Mate would have skipped it in series.
I’m glad I read it. It was good.
Some improvements would have made it perfect.
Some additional glimpse of her painting adaption or better yet why didn’t the other Goddess she was revised for come and finish healing? Also his dungeon punishment, maybe a wolf exercise with time alone with mate. Maybe some mind speak, sexy time like phone sex as mates.

It is important for any society to have laws and to know that every person in the community must abide by those laws.
We have one confused Dark Warrior, that wants to rid the community of an evil that was destroying the members of the society, one member at a time.
He overstepped the line, but with the intention of teaching a lesson, not with an intention to kill.
From this one event, this warrior's life changes, both for good and also for losing those around he called family.
This episode tells this whole story and what turns things around.

Warrior Wolf's Valkyrie mate

Absolutely loved this book and would highly recommend it to all who love great shifter stories. Santiago is a Dark Warrior and Wolf shifter who has struggled with the way the rules are made and has taken action that has made Zander his leader and Vampire King angry and annoyed with him. Tori is a Valkyrie and sister of the vampire that Santiago has accidentally killed for being a drug dealer. Surprise to this tale is the fact that Tori is Santiago's fated mate. Between drug dealers and an evil sorceress readers should enjoy this exciting book.

So much goes on in this book yet it is not done in a confusing way. The author manages to blend the story together in a way that keeps you on the edge of your seat looking forward to the next chapter. I think I am going to have to look into the other books in this series because I highly enjoyed it.

Another great love story, with a few demons and a wicked sorceress thrown in

Was glad to find out what was happening with Santi. He found his mate in the last place you would expect, she came to kill him. Now he has to convince her to accept him, forgive him, and work with him. No problem. Ok, problem. She is a Valkyrie after all.

Man what did I start reading. There is so much going on. I need the books before this. Santi was so headstrong and hellbent on doing things his way. I knew it was going to take a real strong woman to help him see. Great job

Santi has always been a favourite of mine and I’m so glad I finally got to his story and mating. I loved Tori too! This was one of the best ones I’ve read so far and I do really love these warriors. It’s always fun catching up with the other warriors and the triplets. Definitely recommend.

Fiesty

Always enjoy reading about fiesty ladies and the men stupid enough to think they can dictate to them. This one was a classic. Santi took his time wising up but he made it.

I listened to the audio version of this book.

Again Alex Black took me on a journey.

There were times in this book (and earlier books) I wanted to slap Santiago, but learning more about him and his history eased that want.

If you've read the previous books you already know of Santiago and Tori but the book explores it a whole lot more - spying, deception, lies, stalking, longing it had it all. I loved learning more about the Valkyrie world within this universe.

A great read, well worth continuing if you have begun the series. If you haven't you should be able to pick it up as a stand-alone.

Plenty of HOT HOT Spice to keep me warm and cosy and dreaming of Dark Warriors.

I received this audiobook at no-cost. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

I don't know where to start, this is a 5 star plus book. Brenda Trim and Tami Julka out did themselves on this one.
The story of Santiago and Tori is outstanding. Santiago the rouge Dark Warrior who thinks he's above the law. Finds himself making the decision to leave the Dark Warrior's because he thinks the punishment for the death of the drug dealer was to high.
Santiago wasn't looking for his fate mate when he met Tori a Valkyrie assassin, and the sister of the man he killed for dealing Angel's kiss was really unexpected. Tori was hired to kill Santiago by the Guild but couldn't. Tori fights with herself a lot to get Santiago to face his problems. The love between these two is not an easy road but in the end they have a better understanding of what drives them.
Through the blood, sweat and lots of soul searching they make it to the other side.
This is a must book to read.
