Touch of the Torch

by J.L. Jackola

Belkair is a an immortal winged guardian of the realm of the gods. As their commander, he sees every other faction as his enemy. When the gods pair him and his second, Brigan, with Torch leader Krinle and his second, Triana, to hunt demons, he doesn’t hide his frustration. Especially with Triana’s cheerful disposition.

Trapped unexpectedly in the mortal world, the team will discover a nightmare scenario of unpredictable demon hordes. With the mortal world in peril, the tension between the four escalates until factions are crossed and enemies become lovers.

Touch of the Torch is an extra spicy paranormal romance with enemies to lovers, forbidden love, reverse harem, and fated mates. It is the follow up to Mark of the Shadow which should be read first to follow the storyline and understand the world.. T/Ws can be found in the front of the book and on my website.

[She Runs With Books · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jackola has done it again! Every time I dive into one of her books, I am transported into a world brimming with a kaleidoscope of emotions. In "Touch of the Torch," we are introduced to the captivating characters Krinle, Belkair, and Brigan—three intriguing mates, along with the enigmatic Triana, whose role you’ll find interesting.

The narrative is a whirlwind of action and romance, filled with both fierce battles and passionate connections. Jackola masterfully crafts a story that is both primal and sexy, yet she maintains a level of tastefulness that only she can achieve. This book kept me engaged from start to finish.
