The Warrior's Gift by Bonnie Dee

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Katya lives in a fantasy medieval world where villagers are protected by the Guardians, and the Guardians use Warriors to rule. The Warriors are men held in captvity by the Guardians and use for breeding. Every year a girl from the village is chosen and the village "gifts" her to the destinated Warrior.

This year is chosen Katya and her Warrior will be Turan. But Katya discovers that Turan is like an overgrown child, the Guardians forbid him all, and he nows only how to fight. And when he has the chance to be in contact with Katya it is his first contact with a woman. Katya will teach him how to love and how to make sex.

Katya is smart and young: she sees white and black, she can't live in captivity. Turan is a simple soul, he wants to live with Katya, everywhere; but he is willingly to try to help her. Even if Turan is a big man and Katya is a tiny thing, it is Katya who is the stronger character.

The sex scene are fresh and often: fresh cause the two has to learn how to make sex and often because they do it everytime they could! But they are enjoyable and simple, very in line with the atmosphere and the characters.

Also the end is coherent with the story, with some open point that are justify from the previous event.
