Feared and reviled across the land, Summoner warriors know only pain, for in their suffering, they have the ultimate power—to call forth beasts of magic drawn upon their flesh. To know anything else could mean their death. Lady Angeline Delgado craves freedom, but the only way to gain it is to seduce her Summoner guard, Shadow, with something he has never known ... pleasure and Contains graphic sex, violence, explicit language, bondage, domination, submission, and material which could be offensive to sensitive readers. Full 78,554 words. This is a reissue previously released under another title and pseudonym.
Jaide Fox has always had a passion for fantasy and the paranormal, having discovered both at a young age and devouring every book she could get her hands on, watching every movie that even hinted at her interests. It wasn't until she was in high school that her mother introduced her to romance--and she was hopelessly hooked.
Eroticism has never really been a part of fantasy, nor romance, and Jaide craved to see the two combined. Not able to find anything on the current market, she decided she'd write her own books to satisfy herself.
Jaide hopes readers will enjoy her first offering from NCP. She has many more novels planned and is currently breathing life into other adventures.
She lives in the middle of nowhere in a swamp, surrounded by all sorts of wild creatures (including snakes and spiders--which she gets rid of on sight!) and one mottled black cat who ambushes her from time to time.
First off, the premise and base for this book just caught me and I HAD TO READ IT right away. It did fulfill my expectations of being well written, but I thought the book was a little too slow. And it really was a little anti-climactic for me. I got a little frustrated with the main Heroine, and also the Hero. Back and forth, back and forth. Without any spoilers, I am asking Ms.Fox if she can also write a couple sequels-there is mention of other Summoners. I would love to hear their stories. But of course that's up to you. :)
I liked the setting and I enjoyed the rough sexual encounters between hero and heroine, but - let's be honest - she was just plain dumb and I have no idea what he loved about her (besides her tits and ass)! The end was far too smooth for my taste - after building up danger and tension to no end, everything just dissolved on a few pages :-(
