While he’s a black and white kind of guy, he soon finds that Briet adds all the color in life that he needs, but doesn’t want. Their journey together provides opportunities to feel their growing pains. They have stumbled upon more than just a trial of a drug. Their paths cross with an old nemesis that keeps them spinning. This is the second of the Guardians of Eden series. It is tightly written and had me reading until the wee hours of the morning. I didn’t want to put the book down. With its completion, I know book three, Destiny’s Mark is going to be my next read. (  ) KatrinaH | Oct 5, 2013 | I was thrilled with this second book in the Guardians of Eden series. The author has once again given us those wonderful characters. This is Briet and Jason's story. Briet divides her time between the Guardian's Sanctum and the human world. She is a doctor and is dedicated to saving children. Jason works for the company bringing the study to Briet's hospital. They make an incredible team. KH LeMoyne has created a world filled with characters that are so bigger than life that you find yourself pondering your own purpose, beliefs and behavior. They are insightful, honorable, courageous, steadfast, dedicated and sexy. Her storytelling is remarkable. The story flows fast, yet smooth as if the pages almost turn themselves. The plot is clever, creative and engaging. The whole story is fantastic, with all the elements pulling together to bring the reader to a wonderfully satisfying ending. I fell in love with the characters in book one, continue to love them here in book two and can hardly wait for the rest of the series! I hope there is a book in the series for each and every one of them! If you love paranormal and are looking for a break from shifters, vampires and angels - look no further! This is the read for you!

Warrior Reborn is the second book in The Guardians of Eden series. This story centers on Briet, a healer among her people known as the Guardians. The Guardians are a race of beings created to safeguard mankind and they live in a Sanctum in a place called Eden. Each Guardian has one mate that they hope to find within their very long, almost immortal lifetime. After one hundred and fifty years, Briet finds her’s in the form of Jason Ballard, a man who watches over the cancer treatments and protocols for Briet’s young patients.
I think the author grew in her writing abilities when she created the MCs for this story. I enjoyed them much more than I did Turen and Mia in the first book. One of the reasons is because Briet remained strong-willed and independent throughout the story even though she fell in love with Jason. In the first story Betrayal’s Shadow, as soon as Mia fell in love and became pregnant, she turned into a damsel in distress and that ruined a lot of the first book for me. Here, the author did much better in keeping the lively spirit of Briet intact. I liked how the author created Briet to be a loving, caring person yet giving Jason space to face his past demons but also helping him to face them. The author walked a fine line in creating a personality in Briet that was an ideal female that molded to a male’s personality, but also retained her own independence and spirit. The author did much better with Briet than she did with Mia.
At first I didn’t care for Jason at all and agreed with Briet’s older brother, Angsgar, when he said this:
”Because you look like some playboy wannabe with a fast car, a hot job, and girls to spare.” Angsgar glared at Jason, his fisted hands at his side ready to draw a punch.
I found Jason to be an unlikeable character for almost half the book, but the author did a good job of showing that underneath Jason’s cool, playboy exterior there were glimpses of compassion he wouldn’t show anyone, but Briet broke through Jason’s walls. The breaking down of Jason’s walls took place at a believable pace. There would usually be an event that pushed Jason to take another step closer to Briet until he was ready to make a commitment.
The secondary characters were enjoyable and I hope that the author will write some stories about them in the future. I’d like to know if Grimm finds a mate, and it would be awesome if Jason’s brother Frank finds a mate among the Guardians. Frank seems like he would be a perfect fit to help the Guardians both within the Sanctum and out in the human world.
This brings me to the point of view changes. Warrior Reborn is told in third person mainly through the eyes of Briet and Jason. The author had two good ways of changing povs; one was with paragraph separators and the other through chapter changes. However, and this is a big however, for the first half of the book the author had another way of changing povs that I disliked immensely. There would be sudden pov changes between Briet and Jason within the middle of a conversation or scene. I felt as if I was getting whiplash. I’d be in one person’s mind and then swoosh, I’d suddenly find myself looking at the scene from the other character’s eyes. The pov changes left no mystery as to what the other characters were thinking or feeling. Everything was laid out or explained once we were in the other person’s head and the scene lost all suspense and became flat. I haven’t the foggiest idea why the author felt compelled to jump from head to head. The scenes would have easily worked by continuing in the original person’s viewpoint.
There are numerous grammatical errors such as missing words and transposed words.
The cancer treatments and Salvatore’s involvement with the research was a good mystery. It went over my head a bit but I consider that more me since I don’t really understand medical research. One interesting point was the development of Jason’s powers after he mated with Briet. The author went into nice detail with that. I also liked that the descriptions in the story were not overdone or flowery. There was just enough but not too much. The pace of the story was good and I don’t remember a point where it felt too slow.
The sex scenes between Jason and Briet were very good, much better than in the first book between Turen and Mia. In fact, I liked that in this story the sex was more shown through the male’s pov, whereas the first book was more through Mia’s. I normally read M/M and don’t find M/F sex all that interesting, there are only a couple authors that make it interesting enough for me to read but I was pleasantly surprised with the scenes in this book.
I give this story 4.5 stars because of the plot, the characterization and the author’s improved writing from the first book. However, because of the numerous grammatical errors and most of all the exceedingly annoying pov changes that appeared in the first half of the book, I’ll have to reduce the stars to 4.0. This is a good, unique series and I look forward to reading the books that follow.
