Heart of the Outlaw is the first book of the Heart and Soul Romance series. This first book introduces the Reeka, a warrior race of amazon-like women. By order of the Inka Empire, all Reeka women are outlaws and are either sold as slaves or executed as criminals for their part in the genocide of their men.
Tenia is a young Reeka warrior captured as an outlaw and sold as a slave to a Daamen trader named Darvk. Tenia has dedicated her life to proving the innocence of the Reeka women and finding the real murderer of their men folk. The young warrior also hopes to reunite her fellow Reeka sisters and take back her homeland.
Heart of the Outlaw has a solid sci fi action story. This book is full of action that holds the reader's attention from start to finish. Furthermore, the book contains a romantic twist or two adding another dimension to the story's action. The Reeka characters are strong and intelligent yet realistically flawed women. Their male counterparts are equally strong and stubborn with all of the strengths and insecurities of real people.
