This book had such good potential....but then...
Time travel brings a pretty, but celibate "warrior" back in time because in her era the men are so few they are not allowed to fight. The women are the guardians. Her city/state is being threatened by a neighboring one that is led by a aggressive male and she needs someone to teach her group hand-to-hand fighting. She comes to the bedside of a professional fighter/boxer after he has been in a car accident that will probably mean the end of his career and offers to heal him if he will come to her time and live there and teach them to fight.
Sounds pretty good right? NOT! The man shows up and just bullies the whole group of people like they are retarded children. The "women warriors" are so meek and mild I was disgusted with them. There is some kind of serious psychological issues between the main character and her mother that I just got tired of. On top of this she is a virgin so the no-sex scenes between the two are luke-warm at best. I put the thing down half-way through and wanted to email the author to let her know what an inspiration she was. I wanted to tell her that I'm not a writer and I'm POSITIVE I could do better than that.
If it got better later, it was farrrr to late for me.
Don't waste your time.
