Peacekeeper #1
The Demon Within
As a punishment for failing his duty as an angel, Ruman finds himself encased in stone in the form of a guardian statue. Every few decades he is given a chance to repent. And fails. Until the totally unsuitable Caly Sawyer accidentally brings him back to life. Nothing is going to prevent him from gaining his freedom, especially some willfully stubborn human determined to kill him.
Caly doesn’t trust the mysterious stranger who came out of nowhere and risked his life for hers. As a demon hunter, she knows there is something not quite human about the sexy bastard. Her ability to detect demons is infallible. She should know. She used to be one.
War is brewing between demons and humans. The demon infection that Caly had always considered a curse might just be the key to their survival...if Ruman can keep her alive long enough. Despite the volatile attraction between her and her sexy protector, Caly’s determined to do whatever it takes to keep everyone alive. The more Ruman learns about his beautiful charge, the more he questions his duty and loyalty...and dreads the call to return home. If they can’t learn to trust each other in time, one of them will die.

So, I've read Electric Storm by Ms. Brutger and I really loved it. Of course, I had to give this one a try as well.
And yet again, I was not disappointed by far and was thoroughly engrossed from start to finish. It was impossible for me to put the book down once I started even though it was way past my bedtime. This author has a distinct voice that makes it easy for you to delve into the world she creates and into her character's heads. And I have to say, I'm totally in love with her action scenes. I can actually feel my heart rate kick up its pace while my eyes are devouring each word to discover the main characters' fates.
The heroine, Caly, is one of those types that's easy to sympathize with. She's a stubborn, kick butt warrior that protects all those in her tight circle of friends and team mates while she's fighting her own demons, quite literally. The hero, Ruman, is also quite likeable and extremely protective of Caly. Gotta love a hero who will willingly sacrifice his life for his love. *Le sigh* Of course, after reading this book and the character, Ruman, I'll be sure to examine statues a bit more carefully in future. Just saying.
In my opinion, I thought this was an awesome book with a fluent flow that engages the reader easily, great action scenes, and tortured main characters begging for their own happily ever after. This is definitely a read to check out. I'll be waiting for Ms. Brutger's next release!
