Brielle Durand still feels haunted by the massacre that killed her mother a dozen years before. Vowing to never let it happen again, she’s risen to be the key defender for her people’s peace-loving French settlement living in hidden caves in the Canadian Rockies. When a foreigner wanders too near to their secret homes, she has no choice but to disarm and capture him. But now, what to do with this man who looks at her in a strange way and insists he can be trusted?
Hoping to escape past regrets, Evan MacManus ventured into the unknown, assigned to discover if the northern mountains contain an explosive mineral that might help America win the War of 1812. Despite being taken prisoner, Evan is determined to complete his mission. But when that assignment becomes at odds with his growing appreciation of the villagers and Brielle, does he follow through on the promise he’s made to his government or takes a risk on the path his heart is leading him down? Either choice will cause harm to someone.
Brielle and Evan must reconcile the warring in their hearts if they’ve any hope to find the peace they seek.

My Thoughts on A Warrior’s Heart
Who doesn’t like good suspense but also romance novels? What about a hidden village? A girl with a past that haunts her and a future that’s uncertain?
I loved this book. It’s the start of a new series by an author I love. Basically, if she has a new book out I read it, and then if it’s a hard copy I share it with a friend or two. I also recommend her books to anyone and everyone. They’re not suspenseful to a point that people who don’t like suspense won’t want to read them. Also, though they’re romance they’re not the smushy mushy romance that can make you nauseated.
Ready for an all-around good read that will keep you reading until the last word and wanting more? This is definitely one of those. I can’t wait for the next book in the series to come out so I can enjoy it as well.
I love that the female lead character is also a heroine. She’s in charge of her village and the head of their army of sorts. She protects them and runs the show. But what happens when she catches a trespasser who she’s not sure what to do with once she has him? And thus the story begins. Can he help her get over her mother’s death? Can he maybe also capture her heart?

A secret village living in hidden caves for a century…
One of the fun things about being a writer is letting your imagination run away with itself at times. In general, I’ve never considered myself a creative person. Not like my grandmother, who’s an amazing artist and decorator. She can look at something plain and normal and, with a little paint, create something truly beautiful.
But little by little, I’ve finally learned that just because I don’t feel creative like she is, I still have an imagination that can come up with intriguing ideas.
For example, I was listening to a historical podcast a few years ago that talked about the Vikings and the female warriors who would sometimes gain fame among them. As the hosts talked about the first Viking raids to North America, I started thinking… “What if one of those groups went farther west than any of us thought? What if they found the Rocky Mountains and lived there in a hidden community for centuries?” The thought took hold, and little by little, the idea for the Brides of Laurent series came to life.
I eventually changed the village to be a French settlement named Laurent. The village’s primary warrior was a woman named Brielle Durand, who’d worked hard to win her place as Le Commandant, leader of the Guards and Hunters. I love Brielle’s strength and wit, but also how real her personal struggles became as I wrote her character.
Add in a mountain man spy working for the United States government, and you have the secret for a romance with sparks to light up the mountain sky!
I pray you love A Warrior’s Heart, the first book in this new series. And keep an eye on some of the other characters in the book who might get their own stories soon!
Blessings!
Misty
