Great start to a new series!! Do you like your books with a hot & steamy romance? Then this is the book for you!! Oh my, my, my, my, my!! Michelle can & does deliver a shiver......I really did enjoy this book. There was a little of everything, action, drama, magic, romance, LOTS of hot steamy loving. Don't get me wrong, there was much more to the book than the unbridled passion shared between the hero & the heroine, Audrey. They played off of each other very well. Tao reached out to Audrey with honor, & integrity to help her cope w/what she had to face, & she responded to what he offered her w/humility, & fortitude, allowing them to open themselves up to a love that was born of not only what was shared in the bedroom, but also of the strength, the compassion, the empathy needed to overcome the obstacles they faced, while still reaching out to help others, in spite of the personal cost to themselves. Yes indeed, Michelle has done a wonderful job of laying out the beginning of a series w/great promise. I look forward to the next book in the series.
