Dark Warrior Alliance #16
Rivaled Warrior
Identical twins share a special bond, and vampires Cade and Cael are no exception. The two are rarely seen apart, and their closeness is unmistakable. As Dark Warriors, their success on the battlefield is attributed to their ability to anticipate each other's moves, as well as, a telepathic connection. The duo defeats their enemies with their collaborative skill. They are invaluable to the Tehrex Realm, protecting innocent humans and supernaturals from the archdemons plaguing their world. As the demons continue to terrorize supernatural children, Cade and Cael must rely on their strong connection to remain vigilante. That is, until the sexy harpy, Brianne, swoops into their lives, threatening to shred their brotherhood, and hearts, to pieces.
Brianne is a greedy harpy with an insatiable appetite, but she is beyond shocked when she realizes the sexy vampire that brought her desire and passion to new heights was actually two different men. Seriously? identical twins? What are the chances? Tempers flare and rivalry erupts between Cade and Cael as they try to woo Brianne in, and out, of the bedroom. Problem is, she wants them both. When the trio is forced to put differences aside in order to save Brianne's leader, a near miss with death is all it takes for Brianne to make her choice. And, her decision goes against all the rules for Fated Mates.

It would have been more but...
I thought you would have given her Sister Cade. To me that would have been a better twist. As to the Demons and the kids. More twists and turns. I love the world you guys built but OMG you had me on the edge of my chair this time. This series is well worth the read and am glad I took a chance on it!

Can All Three of Them Find a Future together?
This story was very hot and sexy with vampire male twins trying each win over an alluring female Harpy. At times their rivalry and pigheadness and constant squabbling were quite irritating. But in the end the story was just so sweet and rewarding and having their happy forever.

Vampires Cade and Cael are identical twins who share a special bond, a bond that is being put to the test when they become rivals for their mate’s affections. A greedy harpy with an insatiable appetite, Brianne is shocked to discover that fate has given her two mates and she wants them both. The trio is forced to put aside their differences when the harpies and warriors’ home is attacked by demon forces.
This trio of characters are strong, captivating characters that easily capture readers’ attention and hold them hostage from the beginning. Cade and Cael are sexy and bad a** while Brianna is fascinating with a sassy attitude, so when all three of them are at the mercy of the fates in a life or death situation, their relationship can’t help but be volatile and emotionally turbulent which keeps readers glued to the pages as the super-heated passion burns up the pages and the blazing hot sex scenes has readers turning on the fans.
This fast paced and smooth flowing keeps readers on the edge of their seat not only regarding the threesome but the thrilling and explosive action that comes from fighting the demons who have once again target the children and have also target the harpies with a new plan. Readers are also treated to another visit to Koth as tensions rise when the females face an ugly situation and Angus and his top dragons must find a way to resolve it.
Trim and Julka’s Dark Warrior Alliance world just keeps getting better and better with lots of fascinating characters, unique paranormal elements, steamy romance and an action packed world that guarantees that I never have a dull moment when I visit the Tehrex Realm.

The Dark Warrior Alliance Series has been one of my favorite book series of all times, and here we are on book 16 - and I am still enjoying it! No, it's not the same as the first couple books, because back then the world was so new and you had so much to learn about it, but now it still has its attraction - there is always so much to find out and more warriors you want to find happiness.
This book surrounds the twin - Cade and Cael.
Hey, everything else has been explored - past lives, reincarnation, demons, angels - why not a threesome! Actually it just fit - the fated mates have worked through every difference possible up to this point - extreme opposites and such so a threesome seems the next logical jump.
Now just how well that works out and what they end up deciding to do you will just have to read the whole book to find out - but saying a threesome is explored says nothing more than the picture on the cover.

Great addition to the Dark Warrior family
Another great addition to the Dark Warrior family! I recommend this series of books but definitely start with book one so that you get to know all of the characters in this series!
Brianne is a harpy that was contracted to help Tristan with his transition. When the job is done she runs into Cael and one thing leads to another. Cael receives his mate mark. Brianne doesn't because she isn't one of the Goddess Morrigan's creations. Cael goes out on patrol and comes home to find his twin in bed with her and claiming that she is his mate.
Not only do the warriors have to figure out who is the real mate but Crocelle is up to her old tricks again. So they have to fight her and her minions. There are other demons trying to force their way into the realm also. We get a couple of chapters of insight into some of the happenings in the Khoth Realm too.

Man, makes you want to be a harpy. When Brianne agreed to come to Zeum and take care of a transitioning male's sexual needs, she doesn't expect to find not one, but two mates. Well, they found her since harpies don't have Fated Mates. Of course Fated Mates don't like to share, not even with their twin brothers. Brianne doesn't have any problem with sharing herself with both of them, yum.
Cael and Cade have always been close. They have often slept with the same women, though not at the same time. When it turns out the Brianne is the Fated Mate to each of them they are ready to kill each other. Whoops. How the heck is this ever going to work? They both need her blood as they can now no longer drink from any other, but their mate marks are also causing them great pain and they can't complete the mating and make it stop. Can they stop fighting with each other and share Brianne? Doesn't look that way.

Absolutely Loved This Story! Oh wow!! This is hands down another absolutely fantastic tale in the continuance of the Dark Warrior Alliance series. Like other books in this series, you’ll find that there are two story lines presented—the main suspenseful, hot, and action-packed story of Cael, Cade & Brianne and briefly the introduction of a possible relationship for Lorne & Cambree of which I’m betting will be the next book in the series. I guarantee that I am anxiously awaiting the next book and I highly recommend that you add this series to your must-read list! This is a voluntary and well-deserved review of a free copy received from the author and in support of these great authors, I’ve also purchased it!

Dark Warrior's threading a crowd.
Trim and Julka out did themselves on this book. Most of the Dark Warrior's are in the story even Isobel. The realm us having babies right and left is Isabel isn't alone anymore. But, the main storyline is about Cave and Carl the twin vampires that we have come to know and love. A harpie came to help one with one of the straplings come of age and believe it or not it involves sex 24-7 for a few weeks. Brianne is her name on her way out she meets one of the twins. I won't mess it up for you but there are battles and demons and lots of sex. How after 17 books can Trim and Julka keep the fire burning but they do. Read about the Dark Warrior's and fall in love.

It’s finally Cael & Cade’s turn and this book was hot. Brianne is instantly attracted to both Cael and Cade and too make matters worse, Bri turns out too be their fated mate. Between the ongoing war and now the twins are against each other, will they come to an understanding or will they lose Bri for good? Love this series and can’t wait too read the next book in this series.

Bri and the boys will steel your heart in this story of Harpie meets Hotties.
Who knew a Harpie helping out a Stripling would lead her to her fated mates. Yes, Mates! Not one, but two hot warriors are destined to be with a single mate and no one was ready for that surprise.
Can twins share a mate? Can a Harpie love two men? What kind of danger is lurking around them?
Find out in another adventure of Warriors.

Hot hot hot
I love this series, and I swear each book gets better and better. I bought this story the day it was released and had a hard time actually reading it... because I knew I’d love it so much I’d be sad when it ended. I was right. Cael, Cade, and Bri’s story wasn’t as sad as some of the others in the series, and was filled with action and super steamy scenes. I can’t wait to read the next one!

So I enjoyed this book in the main and the world building and chemistry between our heroes and the heroine is tangible. However, regardless of how good the story is once again the editing is poor. Fortunately the telling of this 16th book in The Dark Warrior Alliance is as good as ever, why compromise with poor proof reading?
This is a lovely series and I look forward to reading Dragon Knight of Khoth next.

This series has some quirky moments, sexual activity and great tension between couples.
This episode takes it to a whole new level. Some won't enjoy this episode, as it goes into territory that is not often acceptable in society. However, within the context of this series, this was part of the community that was part of the fictional realms that these books have created.
Please read with an open mind, you may just enjoy the experience.

Double Trouble
This KU library selection is the Vampire twins Cade and Cael's story. The twins have an extremely close connection, sharing everything, just not at the same time. Then a harpy, Brianne, enters their lives and turns everything they think they know on it's head. In the background of their story, we get scenes from Koth, which for me became the focal point of the book. Cade and Cael's fighting got old, and not just to those around them in the book.

Another great book. Everything and more that we've come to expect from these brilliant writers. If you like Sexy supernaturals, kick ads strong women main characters, and men treating women how they show be treated then this is the book and series for you.

This series is always filled with action, fighting, friendship and love. How can a harpy pick between two vampire brothers? Who is her mate and who will die? Can the bonds be broken instead? Then on another realm one male will fail at protecting his charge and things may change for the worst for the young female. Lots and lots of action and there is some hot bedroom scenes.

I was interested in seeing how this mating was going to work out and I have to say, “WOW!” Loved it! Tami and Brenda do a great job moving the story along and keeping it fresh. Can’t wait to see how the next book goes!

Brianne, Cael and Cade made a fantastic triad. I became completely engrossed in their romantic and sexy journey. Brianne's union is a delicious combination of sweet, sexy and dominant as Cade and Cael capture her heart. I look forward to reading the next story in the series.

I wonder who's next and when they will finally have some peace. I don't see why Cael and Cade would doubt that their mate did indeed belong to both of them. Tristan is so arrogant ,I wonder who his mate will be.

What can I say? Brenda and Tami strike again with a fantastic story! A great novel with an explosive love triangle. I am grateful that the bond of brothers shows strength when it is tested.

Not a fan of 2 guys and a girl
I really didn't care for this one. I don't believe 2 guys could share a girl forever without fighting over her. I only read it so I would know the characters in the following books.

November 7, 2022WOW! The best erotic love scenes in the series so far!
The love scenes between Brianne and her Fated Mates had me panting for more! Not overly pornographic, but detailed enough for an X rating. Yes please, I'll have another ;)

Proofread
Interesting story about a lucky gal and her two fated lovers who fight through jealousy to achieve their HEA. What detracted from this story was the poor proofreading, punctuation errors, and confusion of activity.
