Here's an Action-packed, Sexy Romance, 2002-04-09
I have a new author on my favorites list: Kristin Kyle. THE LAST WARRIOR, an historical set in 1870 San Francisco, is filled with edge-of-your-seat action, page-turning suspense and lots of heart-pounding romance. Meghan McLowry is a Nob Hill socialite in search of a tough-as-nails fighter to protect her father from assassination attempts by a Chinese gang leader. She finds her man in Captain Jake Talbert, and American raised in Japan as a samurai warrior. Using heirloom swords as her bait, she coerces him into helping her. Though their relationship begins antagonistically and both their differences and his past seem insurmountable, they begin to discover their many shared passions. While Kristen Kyle definitely has her own unique voice and style, this story shares the exotic planes of a Laura Kinsdale and the sexy romance of a Susan Johnson. Do not pick up THE LAST WARRIOR to read before you go to bed unless it is not vitally important you get a full night's sleep. You won't put this one down.
An exhilarating and romantic read!, 1999-09-26
"I go on loving him -- a man awesome as the waves of the Sea of Ise that thunder upon the shore." With her opening, eminently romantic quote from a lady of the eighth century, Kristen Kyle sets the stage for an unforgettable love story. Her characters -- Jake and Meghan -- are intense, endearing, and well drawn, and you'll be turning the pages as fast as you can to see how they overcome one challenge after another. Kristen Kyle does a wonderful job of blending high romance and adventure with subtle humor to create a book you'll remember long after you've devoured the last page. I, for one, can't wait for more from this talented author :)
Keeper Material!, 1999-09-01
Don't let the cover of this book fool you. It's about a hero who "walks off the page". He's neither east nor west, but both. Add the romance to this historical adventure, and you have a real keeper.
 A fair read, but a great original plot., 1999-07-28
If you love the art of the Japanese sword as well as San Francisco, this book will fascinate you. The plot was interesting, her concept of an American samurai was great, but what I found disappointing was the forced way she brings the hero and heroine together at times. I guess what I didn't like was that it read like a 'formula romance' - boy meets girl, they argue, they're forced together, they fall in love, have a fight, separate, then get back together. She needed more , at least for me, for it to be a page turner. But if you like a traditional romance, then buy this one, you won't be disappointed.
Fast-paced, entertaining and well-written, 1999-07-27
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author incorporated enough of the exotic to make the story fascinating without overdoing the historical detail. The idea of a Western-born samurai was fresh and innovative. A good romance and an entertaining read, one of the best historicals I've read so far this year. This is an author to watch. She's definitely going places.
