The Grass Cutter Sword: A Fated Mates Fantasy Romance (The Healer Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

by C.J. Anaya (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 250 ratings
An ancient love story that spans a millennium.
A god in love with a human girl.

As a trusted member of the Samurai Rebels, it is up to Mikomi to gather the information that will stop her father from creating a kami army. Katsu’s constant interference impedes her progress, and she is torn between her duty to the world and her love for one very reluctant rebel.

Unfortunately, more than one party is interested in using the kami army for their own malicious purposes.

Mikomi’s enemies quickly multiply as a plot far more devious in nature is unearthed. Though Musubi works to prepare her for the many dangers she must face, remaining within the palace walls is no longer an option. She must protect herself against nekomata disguised as humans, while a far greater threat lurks within the heart of the man she loves and trusts.

Will Mikomi's love be enough to quench Musubi's thirst for vengeance?

Review

"The third book of the series did not disappoint. This book had many swoon-worthy romance scenes and fast paced action scenes keeping you glued to the story. I couldn't put it down. It's a story of love, friendship and fighting for what you believe in with wonderful characters." - Chiara________"I truly enjoyed reading this book. I read a lot of juvenile fiction, and I found the concept and setting novel. It kept my interest piqued. It was easy to pick up the story line from the first and second book without much backtracking and I could hardly put it down until I'd read the whole thing from start from finish. I found the story line novel and hard to predict (which is something I can usually do with other books). I hope CJ Anaya will soon give us more exciting reading to enjoy!" -Amazon Customer

C. J. Anaya is a USA Today bestselling and award-winning author of The Healer and writes teen and young adult fantasy romance. However, she tends to tell stories within the genres she loves to read. So you can find her sweet romantic comedies of the billionaire variety under the pen name Cynthia Savage and her super steamy scifi romances under the pen name Angelina Avery. She holds an AA in Criminal Justice, a BA in Communication, and an MA in Publishing. So when she isn't writing, she's coaching other authors on the book production process and best paths for publishing and marketing their books.

Her personal life can best be described as a mix between the rebooted TV series One Day at a Time and Dog with a Blog. Her awesome hubby makes sure she is always fed, while her four fabulous kiddos do a great job of taking care of the family dogs.

    Fans of the first two installments of CJ Anaya’s Healer Series will not be disappointed with the third installment, The Grass Cutter Sword. Anaya’s work just keeps getting better, and the stakes continue to rise in this fast paced, intense, romantic adventure..

    Book three begins with our heroine, Hope still reliving her past as the prophesied healer and Japanese princess Mikomi. Mikomi comes into her own in this novel, transforming from the meek and mild princess we first met in book two to a fearsome samurai warrior giving aid to the rebel army trying to overthrow her tyrannical and sadistic father, the emperor. In this installment Mikomi risks her life for the rebel cause, battles her inner demons, finds true love, discovers a flaw in the prophecy, fights, loves, laughs, and cries. We are taken on such a fun ride with Mikomi as we learn secrets of the past that will change the course of Hope’s future. What more could you want?! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and Anaya’s quick wit and humor once again make this book shine.

    For those of you who can’t wait to get back to the present day to see what is happening with our beloved characters from the first book of the series (Hope, Tie, Victor, Angie, Kirby, James, and Chinatsu) and the fate of our modern day world, your time has come! The Epilogue (SMALL SPOILER ALERT) brings us back to present day. Hope is now armed with the memories of her previous life, knowledge only she has about the prophecy, and information about our other favorite characters who are more than they appear to be. The flash forward could have been jarring, but Anaya writes it seamlessly allowing us to easily flow back to the present and bask in Angie’s loyalty and hilarity, Tie’s dreamy eyes, Victor’s strength and determination, and Kirby’s innocent enthusiasm. The trials of Mikomi’s past are now behind us and Hope is back, armed and ready to confront the dangers before her and get to the bottom of the ancient prophecy.

    There is only one more installment in Anaya’s Healer series and book three is filled with information vital to the story, setting up the overall plot arch while also being full of suspense, drama, adventure, and fun. The Grass Cutter Sword perfectly sets up the final installment and will leave readers in happy anticipation for the last book.

    I read all three books. The first one dragged a bit but was engaging enough for me to read the next two. Books two and three, set in early Japan, were more exciting. The action and plot were well done. I like the way Ms. Anaya tied the two settings together. Unique and fun!

    5.0 out of 5 stars This book is seriously a wonder!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    This book is seriously a wonder! I love all the different characters. First of all Mikomi, The Healer. She was so selfless wanting to use her healing powers to heal and help all her loved ones and friends regardless of the possible negative effect it could have on her. Akane was a very talented warrior and became very close to Mikomi and a great friend to have. Mikomi’s father was so evil and despicable it made me want to stab him with one of those nasty swords and get rid of him. And aaahhhh Musubi! I think I’m in love with him but I don’t want to stand in Mikomi’s way since she deserves her HEA with him. Katsu was very magnanimous. A great warrior and determined to make the Prophecy, as he understood it, come to fruition. So many other characters in this book were totally fleshed out and unique. The scenes were very vivid. I could totally see them in my head. I especially am impressed with how Ms Anaya transitions from the historical time period to the modern day world with the characters reincarnated. Ms Anaya is a very talented writer. I was glued to the pages until the very end and I’m very anxious to read on to the next book in this series. I highly recommend reading this. You don’t want to miss out.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This series is pure energy. Highly recommended for romance and fantasy readers!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2015

    This series has everything. It’s got history, fantasy, magic, curses, Asian mythology, fast paced action, and best of all a centuries-simmering romance between star-crossed lovers. Mikomi and Musubi’s romantic tension is strung so tightly I found myself holding my breath for them.

    Of all the three Healer books I’ve read so far, this one captivated me the most; however, the ending of this installment (which I won’t spoil) made me want to go back and savor all of them again. Anaya has done such an incredible job of weaving all three plotlines together even though they time-jump, that I can’t wait to see what the next book holds.

    This series is pure energy, and I also love that it’s a clean read. Highly recommended for fantasy and romance readers. I’m giving my hard copy of book one to my teen daughter so she can get started on them.

    Once again, it isn't often I find a series that keeps me entertained for more than one book, but the Healer series has kept me enthralled for three consecutive installments! I'm upset I finished the third most this before the next one is due to release.

    The Grass Cutter Sword was a continuation of The Black Cherry Blossoms tale of Hope's previous life. We were able to learn of what exactly happened between her, Victor, and Tie and what events led to her death and eventual rebirth.

    I highly recommend this next installment of the Healer series and can't wait for the next one!

    3.0 out of 5 stars A Fair Third Book
    Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2016
    While Books One & Two of the series really held my interest, I found this third book harder to read. If possible I would rate it 2-1/2 stars.
    The heroine made so many poor decisions that it became annoying, since each bad decision resulted in a new disaster.
    Also, the plot began to drag in places and seemed drawn out just so there could be a fourth book. In my opinion, many scenes could have been shortened or even eliminated to allow the series to end as a trilogy.

    This was a fun continuation of the series and sets itself up nicely for the conclusion of the series. It brings Hope back to present day and straightens out a few problems but reveals a few more. Couldn’t put it down.

    Although I'm 52 i have been enjoying this series immensely the way in this book the author describes Mikimb"s emotions really touched me. What a wonderful talent to have. To write a book and have readers crying as they felt those emotions as they're own is an amazing feat. Thank you so much. I'm off to read the final instalment. I would recommend this author and series to anyone. Even those who are slightly older than 'young adults). Thank you C H Anaya.

    I read three books of this series so far & I am mesmerized by the plot, the emotions described so endearing, the right amount of action, I am awed by the importance & power of the women. I am a lover of all things Asian, the customs, the beautiful silk clothes I can only imagine, the shrines, the cherry blossoms and the love between the characters. Everything flows and leaves me with a feeling of happiness. Looking forward to reading more from this author.
