Warrior Reborn by Melissa Mayhue

I am so excited that I am able to be involved with the release day reviews for Melissa Mayhue's latest book Warrior Reborn #3 in the Warrior Series.

BLURB:
WARRIOR REBORN

Former special ops agent CHASE NOBLE has been searching his whole life for the place where he belongs. As a descendant of Fae, he senses fate has more in store for him, and he will not rest until he discovers what his true purpose is. When he travels back in time to medieval Scotland, he discovers his mission is to save a beautiful woman—the same woman he is destined to be with.
CHRISTIANA MACDOWYLT possesses the gift of foresight. Prisoner of her evil half-brother, Christiana’s visions show her that only one warrior can rescue her—a man she is mysteriously drawn to. The only problem is, he’s in the future. Now she must rely on the magic of a Faerie to transport him to the past. And when Christiana finally meets Chase, the sparks between them set off a smoldering desire. But will the magic that brought them together also tear them apart?

Time travel and faeries and witches oh my...
In Melissa Mayhues latest offering Warrior Reborn we have a wonderful mix of magic, fantasy and time travel to give us this delightful story of a modern warrior drawn back in time to meet his destiny.

Chase Noble has always known his father was Fae, he knows that he has a purpose and a destiny to fulfill he just had no idea it would take him back to 13th century Scotland.
Christiana MacDowylt sees future events, she sees the paths that are open and several possible outcomes. She knows a man will come to save her from her half-brother and protect her from the evil he tries to use her gift for.

Warrior Reborn has the elements we have come to expect from Melissa Mayhue sexy Scotsmen, a bit of danger and mystery and a helping of magic. The world building that Ms. Mayhue writes is amazing and her characters are multi-dimensional beings that as we read we feel we know them and they are more than just the construct of out imagination.

Chase a warrior from the present seems to adjust amazingly well to the idea of being thrust back in time to meet the woman he has been searching for. Really that's about as close to something I didn't like about Chase as I can come.

Christiana has a powerful gift that she is able to use almost at will. I loved that she had perfected the art of "truthful deception" while she is unable to lie that doesn't mean she is telling the whole truth either. This skill allows her to manipulate her evil step-brother to keep her safe until Chase can rescue her.

I wish that Christiana could have been better able to save herself rather than wait to be rescued, however in the context of the time period she is supposed to be from that would have been completely unbelievable.

I think you will enjoy Warrior Reborn, I know I did I give it a five flower review!
