Tender Warrior

I would have loved to give this book 5 stars because it's one of the most romantic I have ever read and you never doubt the sincerity of the protaganists' love. For that reason, I was satisfied with the ending, because there is no denying Ruy and Mirjana desperately love each other and will do their best to succeed. Besides, Ruy did wed Jimena, ward of the king, and this is historically accurate. Not that I can say that for the rest of the book. This is a book about the greatest Spanish hero of all time, El Cid, and never do we hear about or witenss any of Cid's heroic actions. He's a very nice hero, but that could have been anybody elsein history, too. What a wasted opportunity!

GREAT BOOK !!!!!!!!!!!

great story, great characters,gave me a great feeling. I laughed,I sighed, I cried.

I'm LOVING this book!

I haven't even finished this book and am already looking for more Fern Michaels books to buy. This is a wonderful love story...I haven't been able to tear myself from it and at the same time don't want it to end. I'm not an experienced romance reader but Ms. Michaels has me hooked. I highly recommend Tender Warrior for anyone who needs to escape- an excellent soak-in-the-tub read.

Good, except...

Yes, this was a great book. However, he ends up marrying someone else and now Mirjana is his mistress and the book ends that way. That is not how I like to end books. I want to know they the 2 main characters get married or are going to, or they start their lives together and you feel secure in it. I did not feel secure with the end of the book, because they can't ever marry. You think that the author will find someway to get rid of his wife so he can marry Mirjana but it never happens and therefore leaves a lot of disspointed readers. I hope Fern has learned her lession since this book is so old. I really hope to never read a book that leave things so "unfinished" like this one.

WOW! What a great book. Loved this one!

Tender Warrior is wonderful. Fern Michaels captures you at the beginning & you continue with the book non stop until it's finished. Loved it immensely!
