"The first in a long line of what looks to be a fabulous series!!"

I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It hooked me right at first and the intensity of the book didn't let up through the whole thing! This is not a light read. It is rich in details and the characters are fabulous. Zanth, the telepathic cat, absolutely stole the whole show!

T'Ash has finally discovered his Heartmate. Now all he has to do is meet her and give her his Heartgift and she'll fall right into his arms. He has no way of knowing what a battle it will be for his Heartmate to accept him.

Danith Mallow wants a family. Her parents died in an accident many yearsago and she had to go to an orphanage. She knows just who the man is she will accept if he will just ask her. Then she walks into T'Ash's shop and notices him. He's tall, dark and looks extremely dangerous. He senses right away that she is his Heartmate but it doesn't work the other way. She runs from him and keeps running. Action and adventure abound until he finally gets her to realize that they belong together.

This futuristic is full of magic, rogue warriors looking for trouble and lots of danger. I avidly devoured this book. I eagerly look forward to more from Robin D. Owens and have added her to my list of automatic buy authors!
