In a cage, deep underground Shea sits waiting to die. She is sure this is where she will die. Shea is strong and defiant. She takes the brunt of the abuse from the leader, in the hopes of keeping the rest of the girls safe. She is one of hundreds of women that have been kidnapped by the demons, and although there was once a promise of rescue, that was so long ago. She told the woman who wandered into the lair to find the Dark Warriors. Meanwhile, across town, the woman that wandered in has told the Dark Warriors and they are planning a rescue. The Mage Garrick is one of the lead men to go in as he will use his magic to take down their wards. Garrick is a strong, silent warrior who takes his job seriously. He lost his own mate years ago and fights to make sure no one else does. In the book Scarred Warrior, we finally learn all of Garrick's story. How he got his scars by using his time travel gift, and lost his mate. He also finds out that Shea is his mate, which rocks them both. Garrick because he can't understand getting a second mate, and Shea because of everything that had been done to her while in captivity, she can't believe anyone would want her. Authors Brenda Trim and Tami Julka once again have created a story to draw you into the world of the Dark Warriors.
Scarred Warrior is the fourth book in the Dark Warrior series. Authors Brenda Trim and Tami Julka are amazing writers in a number of ways, but it really shows in a series in the fact that you can read this book without reading the others and be fine. You will understand everything going on, but if you read them in order then you will have more of a dislike going for the villains by the time you get to this book. This book is filled with the magic and adventure. A good deal of fighting and sabotage. There is the fated mate pair, but only because I have read the other books, I feel this pair lacked a bit of sizzle, most likely because of both their fears. Still this is an excellent book and a great read.

Mystik Warrior (Dark Alliance Series, Book 2)
by Brenda Trim, Tami Julka
My rating: 4.8 of 5 stars
Jace may be a doctor to the world around him, but he is a centuries old sorcerer with a heart of gold and scars that run deep. When he learns that Cailyn may be in danger, he is ready to run to her aid, even if thoughts of her sacre him to his core.
Ever since the day that Jace walked into her sister Elise's apartment with Rhys, to bring over a television, Cailyn has become undo. Her nice orderly world is in question. she thought she wanted safe and stable, but there is something in Jace that sets off every deep dark fantasy that she could ever dream of and then some!
Mystick Warrior is the story of Jace and Cailyn. How they learn to talk to each other, come together, over come their pasts and find that fated mates is something to enjoy and relish, not to run away from.
Mystick Warrior is the second book in the Dark Warrior Alliance Series, and in book one, we were introduced to Jace, the sorcerer and doctor, who lives at Zeum with the other Dark Warriors. Cailyn is Elise's older sister, and although she was in San Francisco most of book one, she does know what is going on, having been involved in a major fight outside a club on Elise's graduation. Still the whole fated mate thing, while she loves it for her sister, is scaring her just a little, and to that the fact that Jace doesn't seem to like her, she thinks.
In this story we learn Jace's history and the horrors and tortures that he endured, and with Cailyn's help, he might just learn to over come them, that is if he can release himself from the guilt and tell her about it all.
Let me just tell you, this series has me HOOKED!! I read book one in a couple hours, didn't even close my kindle, but immediately went and bought the rest of the series that was available at the time! Yes, I am one of those readers, when I find a writer - or team of writers in this case - that draws me into the characters to the point that I just have to know what is happening, then I have to read the whole series!!
