Warrior by Cheryl Brooks
What does one do when one discovers a joy unlike one has ever felt before? Tisana, the local witch and healer of her domain has found herself in quite a predicament. An offworlder slave has been literally dropped off on her doorstep with his master demanding that she do what she can to save his life. So after tending to the cat-like man’s wounds Tisana has come to discover that this man she is healing not only is fast to recover but has an amazing sexual talent that no other human male could EVER compare with. Now of course she has come to admit that she wants him for herself. But what to do? What to do? Especially when his owner is her own ex-lover, Rafe.
Leccarian (nicknamed “Leo”) is one of the last remaining Zetithians, a race with feline genes. After being dropped off at the witch’s door, he realizes that he can use his sexual expertise to knock her unconscious from sheer pleasure after providing her with orgasm after orgasm of raw delight. Then he can make his plans for escape. But when Tisana promises him a month before Rafe returns, Leo decides to stay with Tisana and enjoy her company while he can still act as a free man.
Of course, Leo then happens to be the “one” the gods have chosen for Tisana. Only he and he alone could have gotten her pregnant with a daughter, something no other man, no matter how hard they tried, could have accomplish. Not even Rafe. Tisana was already despairing over her short time with Leo, with Rafe had to make an appearance and make that time even shorter. Someone has kidnapped his sons and he wants Tisana and Leo to find them. He knows that Leo is a good tracker and that Tisanna has powers that he is not even aware of that will help him rescue his sons. Will rescuing those boys give Tisanna a way to trade for Leo’s freedom or will Rafe’s stubborn and selfish pride keep Leo away from her forever?
Warrior is undoubtedly an entertaining read. The story is set in the distant future. After humans got tired of life on earth, they migrated to the planet of Utopia, hoping for a very quiet and peaceful nature. Of course the concept of utopia is not accomplished by those who moved there. There is discord, the people have removed most, if not all, of technology from the planet and slavery not only exists, but is encouraged. So the planet is pretty backward in thinking and Tisana agrees.
Tisana is a witch that can talk to animals as well as cause enough heat to start fires but no one knows except Leo and the readers. So her conversations with the animals while around humans also add for a good laugh. Add the fact that Leo can give the girl total and complete satisfaction without really trying and you have the heat. Their chemistry is not only believable it also comes to life. Put is all together and you get an interesting and endearing tale and Warrior gets 4.5 tombstones.

I really like the idea of the character able to speak to animals. Also, I believe the author said this character can shoot fire out of her eyes. Now that’s a skill that could come in handy.
Perhaps she should go toe-to-toe with Calrk on Smallville.
