REVIEW: Warrior Nights by Sheryl Nantus

Warrior Nights by Sheryl Nantus is the second story in her Odin’s Bastard series, an exciting and action packed paranormal romance with a Norse mythology theme.

When Kara shows up on Liam Wolfson’s doorstep in a remote Colorado mountain town it’s a sign that Liam’s past is not forgotten, despite his efforts to make amends for his previous mercenary acts. Kara has amnesia, no idea how she got there or why but with the knowledge that she and Liam have a history. Liam, who has made for himself a new identity, remembers the sexy week he spent a year ago in Las Vegas with Kara (no last names exchanged) that ended when she disappeared. Why she’s here now and what that means is a mystery they both want solved.

As Kara starts to remember her past, jogged especially by books at the local library featuring images of Norse Gods and Valkyries, she and Liam also rekindle their heated affair. But trouble is on its way. Both of them are in danger and must work together to keep their new home safe. Can they redeem themselves in the eyes of the Gods and find their happy ever after?

I’m really enjoying this series! Kara is a Valkyrie, and in the first book in the series, Her Alpha Viking, she is the villain. She had become jaded and unsympathetic to human struggles and she’s been given one more chance to change and prove herself worthy. Liam is exactly the kind of man whom she once would have picked up from the battlefield and thrust into Helheim, but he too is working on his redemption. Once a hardened ex-soldier for hire, now his goal is to prove with his actions that he can be a better man, doing charitable works for the town he wants to call home.

Together they make a powerful force when a mercenary group comes to town with a contract to kill Liam. He’s more worried about the townspeople getting hurt in the crossfire than himself, knowing that he deserves what happens to him. Only with Kara regaining her memory and her abilities can they defeat the bad guys. Along the way, they share some sexy love scenes and deepen their emotional bond. Several townspeople have important roles as secondary characters, including the police chief Marie (she’s on the cover too). There are several exciting and intense scenes and the happy ending is very satisfying. If you like paranormal romances, this is a refreshingly different and unique series!

But it’s not just Kara who’s come to town looking for answers. When mercenaries arrive looking for Liam, he’ll need Kara to remember what she’s capable of if either of them is going to survive…
