"A Wildly Delicious Read!"
Ms. Cole's latest effort is "wildly" delicious and
entertaining. She has taken the paranormal genre and
created her very own legends and lore...filled with ultra
entertaining characters. Emmaline is half vampire and half Valkyrie. She is known
in her coven as Emma the timid. Her family is shocked when
she decides she wants to travel to Paris alone to find out
the truth about her father. While there she is attacked by
a handsome, yummy, strong, yummy, scary...oh yes yummy man
who scares the stuffing out of her. She is even more
shocked to find out that in order to return to Louisiana
she will have to help Lachlain MacRieve the leader of a
Lykae Clan return to his home in Scotland. She'll do it
believing she will be allowed to return home. She has no
idea Lachlain is her forever mate and he has no plans on
ever letting her get away. Lachlain has spent the last hundred and fifty years being
tortured by the vampire Demestriu. He is slowly going mad
and then...he scents his mate. He has been waiting an
eternity to find her and he is not going to let her get
away now. He is shocked and somewhat disgusted when he
finds out his long awaited mate is half vampire. But
despite this he can't keep himself from feeling things for
the wee little Emma. She fires his blood and he will do
what he must to keep her...even if it means to lie to her.
Anything to get her home to Scotland where he will be able
to keep her safe and protected when he goes to get revenge
against Demestriu. But, life doesn't always go according
to plan and wooing Emma is just one of those things. Will
he be able to keep her safe and with him or will the
vampire horde take away the one thing he needs to live? Lachlain and Emma are wonderfully constructed characters.
These two are both strong likeable characters. Their
conflict is entertaining as is their way of dealing with
what they face. Emma is sassy and quick witted...Lachlain is
patient and yummy. This is a great new series and I truly
can't wait for the next installment. Ms. Cole has made her
mark on the paranormal genre and is an author you need to
add to your must read list!
