This was a fast paced, prequel to Piper's to the upcomingCaged Warrior: Dragon Kings Book Onein Piper's new Dragon Kings series. I don't know that Silent Warrior gave me a good feel for what the world is or what the series itself will be like, but I liked this story a great deal. Two brawling warriors, Hark and Silence, use words as weapons to unsettle their opponents - Hark's constant stream of joking sarcastic patter makes others underestimate him and Silence's silence throws them just as far off balance.After their match together - a draw- they run into each other again, get into a scrap and then decide to work off a little post fight adrenaline together between the sheets. But events ensue that turn their oh so steamy 'one night' into much more. Commitments come quickly - this is a short story after all- but a brief stint in each others minds make this work - and I loved the lines that Hark Speaks to Silence: "I spent only two minutes in your mind. Now I want to spend the rest of my life learning what I missed." *sigh*
