Blades Lady Reviews
-
August 2000 was a great month for the Silhouette Intimate Moments line. Linda Howard's A Game of Chance and Fiona Brand's Blade's Lady are 2 of my favorite SIM's and each would make any month memorable.
Blade is a yummy hero, the strong, protective alpha that many of us dream of. His determination to get Anna into his life as well as protect her from her step-father and his goons is wonderful. He is loving and gentle with Anna and has no jerk moments. Anna is also a great heroine. She's a strong woman to have survived life on the run, but she's never bitchy and best of all, she doesn't fall apart as soon as the hero is there to lean on.
The plot is great, there's some good suspense, the villain is suitably slimy, and the writing is very good. Blade and Anna share a psychic connection that's essential to the plot, but even if paranormal isn't usually your thing (it isn't mine) it's unlikely to put anyone off. The rescue at the end may surprise if you're expecting an American-style shoot-'em-up. Blade goes for strategy and stealth instead of firepower. There's some lovely sensuality, you can feel the connection between Anna and Blade. So romantic and sexy *sigh* -
This is one of my favorite books. This is the first book I read by Fiona Brand, and it turned me into a fan of her books. From the first words of the book, I was hooked and I love both characters and their relationship.

This was highly recommended but I found it to be just okay really. It wasn't bad by any stretch but I wouldn't necessarily be telling people that it's a not to miss book. Somehow the characters didn't quite jell for me. I think maybe I was expecting more from the pyschic connection part of the story.

Very good for a predictable Harlequin-like romance novel. A bit of a twist in this one with the heroine being somewhat psychic (yes psychic not psycho lol). And the hero Blade sounds hot!!

After reading McCabe’s story, I had to see if any of the others would compare. This one was even better. It almost had a Twilight quality to it, but more of an adult version. If it hadn't been written first I would have believe Stephanie Meyer inspired it. Though, not because of vampires or even the supernatural element so much, but because of the characters. Anna and Blade remind me very much of a mature version of Bella and Edward. Though Anna's accident-prone behavior is more due to people always trying to kill her than clumsiness. And much like Bella, Anna is more concerned with bringing other people into her dangerous world than she is worried about herself. She's willing to risk herself to keep Blade safe. And much like Edward, Blade goes a little nuts trying to keep Anna safe. Because of the fact that Anna has the ability to link to Blade through their minds, he's in love with her from the beginning and will do anything to protect her and keep her for himself. A truly beautiful romance story.
This is a book you must pick up. Wonderful characters and an amazing story. I will definitely be getting the rest of this series. -

I liked the idea of the book - the telepathic connection between Blade and Anna but the writing was weak and details did not flow well. For a quick "save me" read it was fine.

re-read Feb 2015. I liked it better the first time, so a demotion from 4 to 3 stars.
