I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review.A smoking hot post apocalyptic romance, Tip of the Spear by Marie Harte, is the first book in her amazon Western series.  With dynamic primary characters, scintillating dialogue, and  plenty of action, Ms. Harte grabbed my attention from the first page and never let it go.  The world building was well developed and blended well into the story, it never detracted from what was taking place between the characters.  Tossing in some interesting other worldly creatures and some intriguing abilities, Ms. Harte has created a world unlike anything I've ever read before.Thais, an Amazon Guardian, is on a mission of retrieval and vengeance.  Tasked with locating the Amazon Queen's stolen crown and executing judgment on the man who stole it, she leaves the jungle world she knows to travel through what is left of the world as we know it.  A warrior trained in self defense and war skills, she knows nothing of the new world she finds herself in and has no respect for most of it's inhabitants.  Especially the men she encounters.  Agreeing to help another woman get justice in exchange for information on the man she's tracking, Thais suddenly finds herself saddled with a male tracker, who's more than what he first appears.  She just never planned on falling in love with him or on her sudden awakening to sexual pleasure.Hinto Dakota is a man with a mission, determined to earn enough gold from his bounty hunting to pay for his father's medical care, he finds himself agreeing to help an alluring woman locate a personal bounty.  Riding "Beast", his dependable vore (horse-like creature), he's attracted to Thais, who he's sure is a virgin.  With secrets of his own, Hinto is more than just a competent tracker, he never planned on falling in love, especially to a woman whose fighting talents are almost as good as his own.The scenes between Thais and Hinto are fun, hot and full of give and take.  While Thais is completely a sexual novice, Hinto has more than enough experience for them both.  Their sexual chemistry is off the charts and you just know when Thais finally surrenders to her desire, things between them will be hotter than a firecracker on the 4th of July.  As they get to know each other longer, a trust between them develops which turns from friendship into love.  I really liked how Ms. Harte developed their romance and the sexual relationship.Will Thais be able to get the justice she desires?  And when will Thais and Hinto discover they are meant to be together for a bigger reason than both of them can realize?  You'll have to read Tip of the Spear to find out.  I can't wait to see where Ms. Harte takes us next in this new world she's created.
