The story was full of explicit erotic sex scenes brought on by the green emeralds. However, once again I felt from this author that the passion between the characters was missing mainly because I felt it was one sided due to the man Connor being in control of every sexual move. It was almost too mechanical for my taste. It was a cute story but didn't Wow me over. Not bad for a free read from Amazon Kindle.

What an enjoyable read. I love how the author writes, the magical world comes alive with the detailed descriptions and the entertaining characters. The erotic scenes are lite, not intense at all - this could almost be considered a sweet romance.

Treasure hunting becomes one chilling experience as Destiny & Shane find more than treasure when they dock and explore the desertChillingly Thrilling!
Treasure hunting becomes one chilling experience as Destiny & Shane find more than treasure when they dock and explore the deserted Kirsoval slave ship “Yeoman’s Paradise.” Get ready for an eerie – chilling – yet thrilling ride when the characters start experiencing soul wrenching phenomenon incidences that challenged their sanity of mind and the bonds of their relationship.
I loved the chemistry between Destiny and Shane as they constantly relied upon each other in their every move. Their erotic scenes were sexually delicious (3 stars) and their love for each other was their saving grace and worth more than any once in a life time find including the dangerous Soul Capturing Box-like Vortex / Maxtrix treasure that could of have possible made them very wealthy and set them up for life.
Sometimes the life of being a treasure hunter is more than finding treasure – no it’s about surviving and protecting the universe all in one and the reality of life’s choice example is what I loved about this fast paced short novella. The author does an excellent job visually describing the plot’s drama leaving me with an edge of the seat chilling and thrilling anticipation and before I knew it the story climaxed with revelation. Beautiful!
I highly recommend this short Sci-fi Erotic Romance to all Sci-fi junkies. I only want more more more!!!

Wow! I am still in awe after reading this fantastic book. Talking about staying captivated throughout the whoFan-Freakn’-tastic! Brilliantly Written!
Wow! I am still in awe after reading this fantastic book. Talking about staying captivated throughout the whole book! I literally couldn't put it down. The writing is addicting and the story is easily visualized. I felt like I was watching a movie appear before my very own eyes right on the page. This has got to be one of the most brilliantly creative stories that I've read with such heart ache and strife to endure leading me to think the couple will never reach their happy ever after.
The Author starts the story with a heart wrenching beginning with two newlyweds having to part across seas due to their parents both being on their death beds. The couple’s undying love is clearly understood in how much they mean to each other leaving the reader thinking they know how the story will go and end. But not so fast - the author gives the reader a few unexpected surprises.
The character’s Rebecca and Rhys chemistry is dynamic in the beginning. Their passion for each other sparks with Rhys desires and Flames with Rebecca’s returning passion. ("Clean" Heat Level 3).
The story is an absolute emotional rollercoaster. Rhys pulls himself out of the heartache by trying to start a new life in politics and finally decides to find happiness by letting him-self feel again with another woman after 3 years of dealing with the death of his father and then being told his wife is deceased. Matter of fact, the hurt is so deep that he pushes it way down that he has forbidden his love to ever resurface again and when his deceased wife shows up on his doorstep on the eve of his engagement – his emotional journey become mind boggling.
Rebecca is the sweetest woman, she is beautiful and caring. She holds a class of her own in the political world and is so down to earth in her demeanor towards everyone she meets. She endures 3 years of being a prisoner in her own home and thankfully she has a secret that she never told Rhys about to help keep her focus on her goal of escaping and getting back to her husband.
But boy how circumstances almost become scandalous for Rhys and boy is Rhys put into shock. His shock was so dramatic it turned me off – I come close to hating him. In the beginning I was in awe with him but through the story in how he treated Rebecca infuriated me. I literally wanted to beat the crap out of him and knock some sense into his ass. Rebecca so caring loved him regardless of his treatment thinking her love could win him over like it once was even with the competition of the other woman.
The story was adventurous with the mystery behind Rebecca’s heritage and on the edge of your seat exciting with robbers, murders, and Kidnappings. Rhys family was accepting but his sister was an absolutely spoiled little beotch and the treatment she gave Rebecca had me fuming. Rebecca really goes through the ringer to hold her place amongst her husband’s family.
The ending was bitter sweet in a way. You get a happy ever after but I truly never thought it would get there. Even now I will say this. Rebecca though she wasn't raised with the high clout and back ground that Rhys comes from, she is in my opinion too good for Rhys. You have to really love someone to hell and back to go through all the crap she went through and still remain by his side. Rhys finally comes around but had it be me (Very independent woman), his ass would have been history - LOL
I have become a new fan of this author’s writing and I look forward to reading more of her works. I highly recommend this Suspenseful Romance to everyone. It is absolutely stunning.
Excellent Read!

What a sexy and fun read. This novella definitely sizzled with the erotica but it also captivated me with the story line of struggles, heaSexy & Fun!
What a sexy and fun read. This novella definitely sizzled with the erotica but it also captivated me with the story line of struggles, heartache’s, and dedicated friendships that affect our lives and personal psych’s in everything we do. The story reminded me of how our confidence plays a big part in our overall well being and success. Also it reminded me how important a BFF is whether you are single or married, however a single person probably relies on them more.
Lizzie is a beautiful woman but struggles in life as a cleaning lady and her social life totally sucks except for the one friend who loves her like a sister. Her so called boyfriend has psychologically degraded her and has her always thinking negative with his negative attitude about life and her. He is a true doosh-bag! I was ready to jump in and beat the crap out of him myself.
However, her best friend knows exactly what she needs to boost her confidence and maybe even change her life for the better. This is where the story becomes fun as BFF’s do what BFF’s do by hooking her up with a makeover, a job opportunity that will put her back on her feet to pay bills off, and start new beginnings. The adventure begins when she steps in The Club and meets the brothers Ryan and Trace.
Ryan and Trace are some successful sexy bad boys who have made something of themselves and their time with Lizzie is hot (5 Flames). But though the sex is hot, they begin to know each other as friends and their love grows realizing Lizzie is more than the past and beholds a possible future. Plus Lizzie gains more confidence realizing she is a sexy sensual woman and doesn’t have to settle for less like her soon to be ex-boy friend has drilled into her head. I loved the growth of her and of the Bad Boys.
Great Read!

Wow, I’m still reeling over all the fast paced action. To begin with, the entry into this red world called Mars is bA Shockwave of Action and Romance
Wow, I’m still reeling over all the fast paced action. To begin with, the entry into this red world called Mars is beautifully described with high towers snaking throughout Mar’s many canyons by tubes and pipes or through massive tunnels dug beneath the ground level. Their transport system from earth to the docking station is unique as it is between the many other planets within their solar system. Their survival methods in order to live on the planet is fascinating in how it reduces their age appearance and increases their life span by making them immune to diseases that most Earther’s are susceptible to.
The writing is visually graphic and very gripping as it kept me captivated to the end. The character’s chemistry between Cesare & Bianca is magnifying and their romance was like a shockwave of action and a “detonated bliss running through ever vein and scorching every nerve” within my own body’s system. I’d have to say their erotic interludes would be a 3.5 flame. The descriptive scenes were explained without using dirty explicit words but getting the point across. Trust me, they definitely had their exciting moments in a Sci-fi Martian Way.
I loved Cesare – talking about one heroic space cowboy. If I ever met a Martian in real life I’d hope it would be like him – long dark hair, muscle galore with long legs and a sexy smile. LOL Yep I’d love to be that Earther he could save. It seemed his hidden secrets and his dangerous actions gave him a bad rap amongst the other Martians unless you talked to an Earther –a true protector and savior all the way.
Bianca is one hot sexy space-bunny and maybe a daddy’s little girl but she holds her own especially when she has a step mother always keeping her abroad and away from her father, her home planet, and her rightful place in the business. She gets her education while away as an engineer and becomes more than her step mother can handle. I love women who are intelligent and physically fit to kick some butt regardless of their sex.
The story’s plot was definitely filled with lots of fighting action and escaping scenes. The many challenges in preventing Bianca’s step mother Victoria from killing her kept me on the edge of my seat. It seemed every time Bianca turned around Victoria was one step ahead of her due to her black mailing every political echelon by either sleeping with them or buying them out with her conniving wits. Victoria was definitely the perfect character to hate.
The ending climaxed explosively as Cesare and Bianca both get what they want. With exposing the truth behind a slave trade, exposing Victoria of her attempted murder, Victoria’s escapades with trying to gain power over the solar system and owning Bianca’s business, this made one exciting story and I look forward to reading more installments in this series.
Jael Wye, you just gained a new fan – I absolutely loved your writing style and loved the new to me Martian language. LOL You make Sci-fi fun to read by bringing sexiness to it.
Excellent Read!

What a awesome and fun read. I think I smiled though most of the book while I read this story. I love folk lore’s and myths and tMagically Delicious!
What a awesome and fun read. I think I smiled though most of the book while I read this story. I love folk lore’s and myths and the author has taken the Selkie and Fin Men lore to a sizzling enticing hot level.
The author does a great job creating characters with electrifying charisma and capturing the hearts of a fantasy come true audience. The author’s writing is smooth and visionary as it introduces more insight into the lore itself leaving the reader captivated till the last page.
Mack is a beautiful male Selkie that is 593 years old and has come to a stage in his life where his biological clock is ticking and he has the uncontrollable urge to find his true mate and mayhap produce some pups (children). Being sexually active and having a Fuk buddy “Ledia” seemed to be meaningless and lacking the emotional connection he longed for and it was time to find the love that he craved.
I loved the way the author gives the explanation behind the Selkie’s demeanor and their sexual prowess.
“Mating for life is typically their kinds fortae. As a whole they weren’t always the most monogamous of creatures. Most selkies appreciated their status as sexual genies and enjoyed the lure of new partners.”
Never the less, if his parents could do it 600 years ago producing 7 sons then why couldn’t he. 2 of his brothers had already mated. Calan and Maggie whom we were introduced to in the first book “The Selkie” along with Angus and Elsie giving birth to a baby girl pup Morgan.
Beth Pedersen character has a beautiful soul within the hole in her heart. Her story is tragic in how she lost her husband and son to the ocean. My heart bleed for her and I could literally feel her sorrow.
As the author reminds us of the Selkie Myth:
“Cry seven tears into the sea, and if a woman was lucky, a selkie would answer that call and love her senseless. If she was smart enough to steal his seal pelt, he would be hers until he stole it back.”
Well cry Beth did as her soul was lost thanks to an evil Fin Men. But as love and faith comes around the corner when we least expect it - miracles do happen. Mack and Beth’s experience is heartwarming. I totally melted in the book and couldn’t put it down. Their erotic interludes were magically delicious and had me wanting to act like a froggy and jump my hubby when he came into the room. Sheesh! Those scenes were scorching hot! 5 flames Hot! LOL
The plot was entertaining as the author introduces another part of lore and brings the meaning behind Mack’s purpose to fruition. The Fin Men – you know how the grandmothers in Scotland would warn the youngsters away from the water’s edge saying
“The Fin Men will get you”
We might call them the bogeyman but lore has them as
“dreaded shape-shifters who could live under the sea as well on land. They love to abduct human women, ferrying them away to the magical island of Hildaland, and doing horrible things to them.”
Overall, the story had the perfect ending leaving me all giddy inside and still dwelling on everything that happened in the story. I love Scottish history and the myths behind their legends. I recommend this awesome read to every reader who loves to be rescued by the sexy Selkie folk lore and taken away into their magical fantasy whelms.
Wow this has got to be one of the best fast paced books I have ever read. With the personal conflicts dealing with the love of her liEarth Shattering!
Wow this has got to be one of the best fast paced books I have ever read. With the personal conflicts dealing with the love of her life Dion, Teal's ending fate, Nolan's safety, the betrayals between the Greek Gods and of the half truths the oracle brothers Martin & John kept from everyone else in order for destiny to be fulfilled it is a wonder how love and hope can be so strong for humanity to survive.
This story was a whirlwind of drama, action, and bitter sweet love - a true test of faith, free will, and strength for all involved. I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster. Dion and Kasey's love and dedication to each other is undeniable and I was thrilled with their elopement.
The mission and battles with each Greek God kept me on the edge of my seat. Each scene was brutal and action packed. The characters chemistry was wicked and bled off the page into a visionary selfish evilness. However, a reader could turn it around and see how the deeds for Christianity was just as evil in a torturous way when the 3 god deities were locked away in Pandora's Jar.
I myself like Kasey saw humans as God's tool - not once did the all powerful god make an appearance in this book and fight against the Greek Gods - no everything was based on the faith, hope, and prayers from the Men of the Cave and the one non-believing human Kasey. Of course they had some help from some of the other mythical immortals.
The ending was intense and shocking. The scenes continue to play as an internal movie in my mind effecting my emotions. At times I was angry and then I just wanted to cry because of the excitement, ending death or threat of death. I thought the rewards in the end were not justified especially after everything they all went through, but in a way satisfying because everyone got what they wanted.
Most important is that the Symbol of Hope and the responsibility of Pandora's Jar will always remain on earth and will continue to be passed on with Pandora's bloodline. The 3 Gods held within the Jar of Pandora will remain captured within for eternity and the inherited carrier will not have to face the crazy journey Kasey endured unless someone or something finds a way to open the jar - that's not likely to happen! Right? Hmmmmm or is it?
Excellent Trilogy - I highly recommend all three books, this is one series that will remain in your thoughts and memories forever.
Truths and Destiny are discovered in this 2nd book of the Symbol of hope trilogy. The author does an amazing Love triumphs God but Destiny trumps all!
Truths and Destiny are discovered in this 2nd book of the Symbol of hope trilogy. The author does an amazing job adding to the plot in this blend of Christianity and Mythology twist leaving the reader hooked on every word, action, and emotional outcome of each battle won.
Kasey and Dion's love is so unconditional even with Kasey's first love "Teal" being thrown in the mix making it a complicated lovers triangle. Kasey is so caring and such a loveable character that was afraid to hurt anyone which made herself vulnerable to heartbreak -ache by not letting go of her feelings towards Teal and their past.
Deion was a man (immortal saint) that every female would want as their boyfriend. He was the most patient and understanding person especially when it came to the situation with Teal. He was above being jealous but at times you could see his struggle, yet he was willing to let Kasey go in order to make her happy. I actually got kind of aggravated because it seemed Kasey was spinning her wheels and wasn't brave enough to just tell Teal to bug off. LOL
The story introduced us to Kasey's dad & mom(nudist), and her little brother "Nolan" whom I loved immediately. Along with some interesting immortals (Leda (Amelia Earhart), Athena, Apollo & Artemis) and some deadly creatures (dragon, lion, snake monster)from the world of mythology, the story only increased the excitement and entertainment of battles with the 7 Men of the Cave with their powers and humanity's weakness and sacrifices - it is heart wrenching what happens to Nolan.
Kasey meets her grandmother Pandora and the Archangel Michael and learns the destiny of her being and her mission of saving humanity from the Greek Gods destruction.
I have to say that I was totally captivated and so mind blown away with the anticipated cliff hanger that I couldn't wait to start the 3rd and final book "Symbol of Hope" to see how the ending climaxed.
Fabulous Read! Addicting Trilogy!
Note: Need to read the first book "Men of the Cave" first before reading this one or the characters and the journey will not make any sense....more
Cute Read Interesting and cute, the tale spun for two Ice Gods family feud showed how one Gods "Odin" revenge exceeded into jealousy and power hungry cCute Read Interesting and cute, the tale spun for two Ice Gods family feud showed how one Gods "Odin" revenge exceeded into jealousy and power hungry control, however it was neat how the two Gods children beat them in the end with a spiritual bond that turned into love. The magical mix of the Air and Fire Elementals added to the mystical powers of romance and the added paranormal mix with shape-shifting made the mystical world more interesting as well.
This was a cool book to read this hot summer because of the fridget winter weather described of chill bearing icicles, falling snow, and cold whipping winds. The magical world added to a neat Christmas wish. I am so ready for winter now thinking about how nice and cozy it is to warm up by the fire place on a cold winters night. - LOL ...more
I totally couldn't put this book down however I was disappointed that the story leaves you with no ending and in order tCaptivating but disappointing.
I totally couldn't put this book down however I was disappointed that the story leaves you with no ending and in order to find out the climax of the story or even understand the plot that has begun you have to buy all the books in the series. I usually do not mind buying series but usually each book in a series ends one plot or part of a plot leaving the reader with some satisfaction of an happy ever after but this series leaves the reader in a "What?" State as their looking to see where the rest of the story is.
I am giving this a 5 star rating because the story line is awesome, the characters are electrifying, and the authors writing is smooth and very visionary.
I am sorry to say that I will not be able to finish this series as of now. I hope to be able to one day but after paying 6 dollars for the first two books with no complete story, I refuse to pay 10 dollars or more for an electronic book that is not a complete book.
The next book "Princess of the Sword" at Amazon ebooks is 10.92
It was brought to my attention from another reviewer that each story is completed within 3 books. Here are the sequence below - in other words you have to read the 3 books to get to the climax of the first story.
Two Prelude short stories, found in anthologies with other authors: The Queen in Winter ("A Whisper of Spring" When Symon, the first king of Neroche, woos and wins Iolaire) To Weave a Web of Magic (The Tale of Two Swords where Mehar and Gilraehen fall in love)
Miach and Morgan's story is told in: 1 - Star of the Morning 2 - The Mage's Daughter 3 - Princess of the Sword
Ruith and Sarah's story (which OVERLAPS Miach and Morgan's story in the timeline) is told in: 4 - A Tapestry of Spells 5 - Spellweaver 6 - Gift of Magic

Archmage's are more than fantasy they are romantic!
What an awesome read, I totally loved this fantasy read. The story starts off the story with the inArchmage's are more than fantasy they are romantic!
What an awesome read, I totally loved this fantasy read. The story starts off the story with the introduction about a king with magical powers who suddenly loses power and therefore leaving the reader thinking that the story is going to be about a king looking to restore his powers and will probably have to find a mate to regain his powers but NO NO NO - PSYCH! LOL
In the end yes the story in around about way is about the king's power but the King's brother Miach, also known as the Archmage of the Nine Kingdom stills the show when he meets his match Morgan the kick ass Mercenary who is not only breath taking beautiful but can yield a sword and fight better than any man in the kingdom.
The story had me captivated with the mysterious powers of evil about, the spells to counter the evil, the creatures of magic, and most of all the bantering between all the characters.
I loved the spark and humor between Morgan and Miach - totally beautiful - I fell in love immediately. Morgan though has a mystery of her own that kept me glued to the pages.
There is one small flaw to the story and that is that the story doesn't end in this book and the reader is left hanging just before the climax of the story. I was shocked and had to buy the second story in the series "The Mage's Daughter" immediately to find out what happens next.
Talking about Hook Line and Sinker - yep I'm addicted - actually the author is fantastic with the way she writes and every word was visionary brilliance and had me feeling I was there among the characters and the action through out the whole book.
Wow! What a astounding read, I am still in awe at how captivated I was in reading this awesome story. I was so intrigued that Astoundingly Captivated!
Wow! What a astounding read, I am still in awe at how captivated I was in reading this awesome story. I was so intrigued that I couldn't put the book down and had the 255 pages read within half a day.
Linda Nightingale has weave a story about a subject of incest regarding a special type of twins (brother & Sister). Though the subject is shocking at first, the story grabs you from the start with the character buildup of passion and friendship between the twins as their drama unfolds in their quest for normalcy and acceptance.
The connection between the twins is so powerful that any separation from each other is devastating and affects both mentally and physically due to their essence. The erotic scenes between them are hypnotically Hot and will have you squirming in your pants or crossing your legs squeezing them tight as you await their passionate release.
The story's plot totally won me over with a shocking sci-fi surprise and their motto of "The Way" in the end.
Linda Nightingale's writing and imagination is truly talented and amazing. I look forward to reading more of her work. Excellent Read!...more
This short hot novella had me wanting to hop on a space shuttle and head for a vacation at the Hotel Baba Ghanoush. The story is fulAdventurous & Hot!
This short hot novella had me wanting to hop on a space shuttle and head for a vacation at the Hotel Baba Ghanoush. The story is full of exciting action while on a planet where the characters can live out a past historical time event or classic movie fantasy of their choosing just by making the arrangements with the hotel. The characters were dynamic and the scenes were humorous as hell as they came alive on the page. I found the author was genus with the fantasy Greek Bath scene with the characters having a cross gender experience – totally my favorite scene. LOL This hot number is one of those reads that explores every position imaginable and will have you crossing your legs, curling your toes, and feeling the flush quiver through your body parts.
What a fantastic read! Dina Rae has created a world where the unimaginable has taken place. A world where everything you thoughChilling & Memorizing!
What a fantastic read! Dina Rae has created a world where the unimaginable has taken place. A world where everything you thought you knew about faith, religion, science, culture, and the unknown paranormal is tested beyond its limits and glorified in a truth you do not want to believe. In this so so real like world described on the pages I felt as if I was watching a movie, the action and thrill of excitement had me glued to the pages and I didn't want to put the book down. The characters were believable and convincing as my emotions grew sympathy and in an all in awe shocking gasp at every nightmare stowed upon each character.
The writing is truly brilliant not with just the plot of the story but with the different elements the author has combined into this amazing story. Get ready for your high school teenage lustful experiments (acts of sex), their jealousy, and their social status turning into revengeful craziness (language, fighting, and death to include suicide) . Where a parent's reality of clinging to their religion (prayers) or scientific reasoning (psychic help) of thinking god and doctors are the only cure for evilness but beware, a bad case of Voodoo (Bad JuJu) has a power of its own as it throws a society into a mix of a paranormal you never would of ever knew existed. So get ready for the rise of the dead (zombies), shapeshifting, and the powers of a dark magic that only a Bokor can deliver in a mixture of love spells, voodoo dolls, and possessions of ones body and mind.
I'm am still in awe thinking about the ending as it has left me with a wealth of knowledge to investigate on my own. The author's research has me intrigued about the Haitian Culture and their practice of Voodoo. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a great mystified, horrifying, paranormal, and crazy messed up romance that will keep you spell bound for months on end. I truly look forward to reading more works by this awesome author. She is one of my favorites.
What an awesome read! The word dragon can be referred to many things such as a description of the fairy tale Puff the Magic Dragon (actDragon-licious!
What an awesome read! The word dragon can be referred to many things such as a description of the fairy tale Puff the Magic Dragon (actual animal "Dragon") and or the meaning of a a Dragon fighter such as Bruce Lee in the movie "Enter the Dragon". Well in this fabulous story the reader gets a great taste and insight to both worlds when a green beret "Eric" is rescued by the Volarn spaceship and taken to their magical planet where he meets the princess Kasha.
First I have to say that the Volarn planet is full of beautiful color,unique animals, and interesting characters. This is one world I wish I could magical escape to as the author's writing beautifully describes this world into visionary scenes. The Princess Kasha is a spoiled princess but lethally dangerous as she is one of the fighters for her brothers kingdom and hasnt even looked at a man in interest because none of them are worthy enough. This kind of irritated me even though there is a secret revealed in the end excusing her from the way she acted towards Eric. No matter how great Eric treated her, she pushed his love aside and wouldn't give into his longing of wanting to make her his honorable wife. It was like she only wanted him for one thing and just use him as if he was a piece of meat.
Eric is an absolutely dream man, handsome of course with a body that would make any woman wanton. However, Eric was more than looks, his character was caring, sweet, and his self respect for others along with his mentality of life was very attractive qualities you don't fine in a lot of men. He didn't want a women just to roll in the hey with, no he wanted one woman as his mate that would be with him forever. In other words, he didn't want to just be lovers, no he was the whole kind of package guy. To top it off, the man fought like a Dragon with his Tae Kwon Do moves making him a lethal fighting machine himself.
Through Eric's many attempts to persuade Kasha of his true love and that she was meant for him she would give him challenges that were so far fetch out of reality and wouldn't even come close to the possibly of it even happening or even being considered but this is what made the story so interesting because Eric was one determined man to win his woman as he had a few tricks up his sleeve.
The story's journey between Eric and Kasha was exciting as they stumble upon a miracle - a baby dragon that Eric finds humor in naming him Puff. The bonding between the unique creatures in Volarn is heart warming and somewhat emotionally sensitive if you have a passion for animals. Puff is truly magical with his cute big eyes and his feathery texture, makes me wish I could go out and buy one for my self.
The conquest between Eric and Kasha is electrifying when they collide in their passionate erotic heat and very humorous at times.
Over all I loved this story as this is one that will come to you in your dreams as happiness overtakes you into the joy of the fantasy you read about.
Wow! What a fantastic start to a new series. Get ready for a fantastic Journey as Kasey discovers a whole new life/world beyondIntriguing & Addictive!
Wow! What a fantastic start to a new series. Get ready for a fantastic Journey as Kasey discovers a whole new life/world beyond her wildest dreams in a country far away from her own home. I was intrigued by the story immediately as the author’s description of Kasey and her situation became visualized from the smooth writing. It was totally addicting and I could not put the book down, I had it read within 4 hours and only craved more in the end.
The characters were so real like and the connections between all of them were family oriented, passionate, and heart melting emotional. With a great mixture of Christianity (God & his first Children) and Greek Mythology (Greek God’s, Goddess, and Demigods) intertwined, it made for a very interesting story that I will never forget.
First off I love Mythology especially anything about Pandora’s Box (Jar) and as I read this great story the author held my interest and excitement of learning more about Pandora and her descendants. I also love the different take on how the God’s, Goddess, and demigods came about and how the Almighty God with his warrior angels ended the great war in the heavens.
The myth story on the 7 Men of the Cave came with some interesting characters making the story mysterious and exciting to learn more about them, they were not only handsome but they all had different talents and special abilities to go along with their immortality.
Here are just a few short quotes of their description and who they were:
“Max-Maximian can heal with his touch. Anthony-Antoninos, can speak with animals. John-Joannes sees the future and Martin-Martinianus sees the past or present”
“Sam-Sambatus my older brother can leave his body in spirit form and move around in a ghost like way. James-Jamblichos my younger brother can move objects with his mind. Me-Dionysius , I am fast,”
The story’s plot remained a mystery all through the book and I loved that about it. The romance between Kasey and Dion built up beautifully. I would have to say the heat level on this romance was mild, I would also say that the story’s romance could be based on a border line between Young Adult and Adult especially since Kasey’s character was 18 and the immortals were several centuries old. There were a couple of make out scenes but they were very tasteful, nothing naughty.
I found the story very humorous with the bantering between the 7 brothers and with Kasey. In the end, though I wanted a Happy Ever After and an ending climax to the mystery of the 7 Men of the Cave along with the relationship between Kasey and Pandora, I quickly accepted the cliff hanger knowing there will be a book 2 “Jar of Pandora” in the series and am totally Jones-ing until it comes out.
I highly recommend this book to all those who have an interest in romance with mythology and Christianity elements. You will truly be amazed at the author’s talented writing and storytelling. Marisette Burgess you have a new fan and I can’t wait to read more of your work.
