She’s the future, and he plans on controlling that.
Until his brother enters the picture. Hunter has a goal of his own.
Amia will be his.

About the author
Michele Gantz
5 books35 followersIn my time on this Earth, I have always been intrigued by the written word. As a child, I was always a strong reader. As I grew older, I found other hobbies, that was until I was introduced to Edward Cullen, yes, I was a Twihard! I loved the Twilight Saga very much and opened my eyes back to the Young Adult book world. I was ravenous again, reading any YA book I could get my hands on.
This eventually lead to the inevitable right? Fifty Shades of Grey entered my world, and while I, like many, enjoyed it. But I was left thinking, wow, the romance genre really has changed, and I like it!! I began paging through Amazon desperately searching for books. Then I discovered book blogs and my world was done.
I eventually became a reviewer for a blog, and couldn’t have been more thrilled. I discovered a love within myself for dark, dangerous antiheroes that could be found within the pages of books. This amazing indie book world introduced me to some of my now best friends, opened my eyes to amazing authors, and has turned into a career that I know love.
After reviewing for another blog and helping with blogging duties, I craved running my own blog, and with the help of some of the most amazing women, we created #Minxes Love Books. Silly name as it may seem, we had fallen in love with Jaimie Roberts writing, and we were known for creating funny hashtags in her street team. She began calling us her #Minxes, so we KNEW when we started a blog, that it just had to be that! We have grown a following and love what we do!!
Now, join me as I enter into the world of authorship. I honestly cannot wait to share this story as these characters have been screaming in my head for years for me to tell their story.

Two brothers one girl. Sound familiar? Well pleasantly you're wrong.
Michelle Gantz has woven a tale of true love, destiny and longing unlike any I've encountered.
Hunter will melt your underwear and Gage will haunt your dreams. The two brothers could not be more evident of yin and yang yet you find yourself wanting more of both of them.
I truly was surprised this was a debut, as the story truky does capture you from early on, thrust into this whirlwind of questions.
At first I was a little put off by this, and the fact Amia moved from one brother to the next in an instant. However, it is expertly explained as the narrative plays out, in a way that makes total sense. I apologize for doubting you Michelle!
Sex, violence and love. What more could you want?
Bring on book 2.
Sneaky little epilogue awaits!!

I liked this second book in the Soulmates Series, but not as much as the first. While this is book two in the series, it was the author's first published book and wasn't as polished as True Souls. This is a longer story and for all but a few chapters the reader is stuck in Amia's head, which I found very tiresome. I also found some details from True Souls were inconsistent with details in this book, and while not significant, they bugged me nevertheless. The Gage-and-Hunter brother rivalry is classic and leaves a lot to be resolved in the following book(s). I am definitely intrigued enough to read more about these characters, and I hope the author continues to grow in her writing and offers more alternating POVs while staying true to the soulmates theme.

What a Beautiful Story! True Love Can Conquer All!
Michele Gantz has created a world with a wonderful Love story at the core. Snagged me at the beginning. Congratulations on your debut! I am intrigued as to where you're going with the next installment.
OMG! What a triangle we have here...Amia, Gage, and Hunter. Gage is one helacious character, but an outlaw none the less, Hunter, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. Amia Grace... I could identify with her character in that enough is enough! Sometimes life throws up its ugly head and pushes one into a sink or swim ultimatum. Don't ya just love that in a book?
The world building is consistent, with a plethora of raw emotion... love, sorrow, anger, lust, loss, and more. Oh yes... panty dropping, steaminess abound. I enjoyed reading this one and I am looking forward to the next one.

Amia and Hunter are literally soulmates in this story. When Hunter was turned his soul found its other half and has been waiting a long time for her return. I did enjoy the story line, I like that Amia had a power she didn't know about. I like how it was Hunter that was the one to make her realize this. Of course there was the need for drama and it came in the form of Hunter's brother, Gage. Gage thinks Amia is his, feels it is his right to have her and will stop at nothing to get her powers for himself.
Amia and Hunter have one of those insta-love relationships, but I guess when you meet your other half, literally, that is what happens. Having spent only days together, Hunter must tell her the truth about himself and his brother and hope that she believes everything. For Amia, finding out your love is a vampire is a little hard to swallow, but again when you feel you are with your "forever" person you try your best to put it into perspective. She does have her moments when she isn't sure whether or not everything is real or just a dream.
Plainly put, the back story is nice, has it's mystery of why her, why now, what will happen. There were some parts I didn't love as much as others but I wanted to know how Amia and Hunter will deal with Gage and their future.

I really loved the story line of Entwined Souls. As a vampire/paranormal romance fan I have been looking for the next book to catch my attention. This was definitely not your cookie cutter vampire story. In this book you might as well forget what you thought you knew about vampires because Michelle Gantz tosses all of that out the window and creates all new rules.
I was not impressed with the way the characters use the F word all of the time in the most unusual places. Not just in conversations to each other but just in thoughts to themselves. I thought the writing would have been much stronger without needing that. There were also some places in the story that were hard to follow. They would jump around and I would have to go back and reread the page before to make sure I understood what was going on. I was sad to see the book come to an end because I do want to find out what is going to happen next. It is not a cliff hanger but it does leave you wanting more.

Loved the story idea, didn't love the F word in every other sentence. Not sure if it was because I received an ARC but there were lots of places that the sentences didn't finish and then it would repeat entire paragraphs. Since the book has been released I wasn't sure why the ARC wouldn't have been proofed yet.
I do want to read more in the series, I really enjoyed the characters and what to know more about what the future will be like for them.

A soul touching experience. This was a great debt into the paranormal world that will hold you from beginning till the end. There was so much to love about this story. I loved Amia(especially her name ) Hunter, and even Gage at times. This is one of the best paranormal books I have read in awhile.This story from the writing, plot, and characters. This story sucked me in from the very beginning and I enjoyed the rollercoaster ride it took me on. A story of love, lust, power, and lies I have to makes for one hell of a story.
I loved this story I can’t wait to read book one especially to see what Gage is up to. This story makes me fall in love with the paranormal all over again. I would so recommend this book. Written with passion and amazingly put together it is so worth reading. I can’t wait for book number two because I can’t wait for more of Amia and Hunter.

Just Amazing!
I'm not sure that my words can do justice for this book. Let me start by saying that pararnormal books are not a genre that typically catches my attention or that I even read but WOW am I hooked on this book. From page one I was intrigued and needed to know more. This book would have been devoured in a day had "real" life not gotten in the way, I didn't want to put it down.
Michele Gantz is a brand new author to me and I am hooked. I need the next book in this series like now - I need to know where the story of Amia, Hunter and unfortunately Gage goes. The suspense and drama of it all is killing me.
The underlining message about soulmates is what captured my attention. I was drawn in to how two people who never met had such an amazing connection. Drawn to each other not only physically but mentally/emotionally as well. The characters in this book are so well developed that you do feel every emotion that passes through them. I felt the struggle that Amia was trying to come to terms with in regards to her relationship with Hunter and Gage. Also, with the revelation that she learned not only about herself but of Hunter and Gage. I couldn't imagine being in her position. I don't want to spoil it for anyone so definitely grab your copy today. You won't be disappointed.
The last few chapters of the book I held my breathe more then not. I was such a nervous wreck as to how the book was going to end...I kept waiting for it to end on a huge cliffhanger...it ended leaving you needed more but not in an overwhelming bad way. I can't wait for the next book in the series. I truly enjoyed reading this book and look forward to more from Michele Gantz.

Vampires as you never thought you would see them....
ENTWINED SOULS is the first book in The Soulmate Series by Michele Gantz and it is her debut novel. If this is how she writes her debut, I cannot wait to read more of this series as it comes out. Michele's easy going writing style drew me in from the beginning and kept me there. this book definitely was not what I expected, it was so much more.
Amia Grace believes that she is just an ordinary woman, one who has just written her first best seller. Her world, as she knows it, is about to change - in a way that she would never believe. She is about to be caught between the attention of two brothers, Gage and Hunter. but they are more than just brothers.
Gage and Hunter are like chalk and cheese, two total opposite beings who both want Amia for themselves. Gage wants her for the power that she possesses and Hunter wants her because he believes that she is his soulmate.
This book was intriguing, once the story really got going. It was unlike any other that I have read in regards tot he nature of the haracters. It was like lookng at the world with brand new eyes and gaining a different perspective. Ms Gantz has spread her book with just enough humor to lighten it up, when needed. And the epilogue - HOLY MOLEY - most definitely not what I was expecting.
Definitely a series I am going to continue reading as the books are published.

This is the first thing that I have ever read from Michele Gantz. Not usually the genre that I read but after reading a sneak peak I was hooked. The book was definitely not a disappointment. Amia is wanted by two brothers each for a different reason. The brothers are complete opposites like day and night. Watching story unfold and to see who Amia is drawn to more was interesting. In reading this book I definitely stepped out of my comfort zone, but I loved Ms. Gantz's writing style and how she captivated the reader from the start. My biggest question after reading Entwined Souls is.... When is book 2 coming out because I cannot wait to get my hands on it!
February 18, 2017
Good and interesting read! Entwined Souls made me fall in love all throughout! The story and the characters are good, I was easily pulled in into the story and I can easily feel the characters emotions. The story well, I did not expect that things will go like how it ended, I love the surprise and suspense in this book. The characters, I love Amia! Oh and Hunter and Gage!!! Eeeeekkk!!!! Totally awesome! Anyway, my overall verdict for this book is 4, looking forward to see what will happen next to the characters!

Being able to capture the absoluteness of each characters being is brilliantly written. The ferocity of the hunger that drives them is a readers dream as every word draws them further into the world of lust, danger, hope, secrets, love, lies and a glimpse of what it would be like to meet your own soul mate.
Amia finds herself in the path of two brothers, vying for her attention. When the truth is revealed, she finds her world wasn't what she believed it to be. With her brother and best friend's support, she faces her future that she knows little about. Finding her own worth within herself, allows her to follow her future.
Hunter is in for the fight of his life. Finding his soul mate is his great reward, now he must keep her safe from his brother. Allowing her to see him as he truly is, can only end two ways, one will destroy him, the other will bring him life anew.
The characters are all written so as the reader is enthralled by their individuality. You will love some and not like but still be intrigued by others, as they show who they are on the inside. If you're into some hot, paranormal that will make your heart beat faster, this is all you need.
Can't wait for more.

Entwined Souls by Michele Gantz
### 5 Hunterlicous Hashtags ###
After being kept in suspense for months and months - seriously I have waited so long for this, I finally I got to read this superb debut by Michele Gantz.
Entwined Souls had me captivated from the very beginning with it's compelling storyline, this is one amazing read and a great start to this series.
I am like the queen of paranormal, I seriously love this genre and this book didn't fail to disappoint. I adored Amia's character and the intense triangle with Gage and Hunter, in fact I connected with all the characters and they all weave together really nicely.
I am most definitely a massive Hunter fan - amongst many other things he can suck my blood anyday.
For me this book was absolutely beautifully written with some steaming panty melting chemistry and drama. I would have liked more blood and gore - yep ...I'm sick like that! we do however (without spoilers) have a very twisted and juicy epilogue at the end - leaving me so damn eager to read the next book, please don't make me wait so long!

Amia has a habit of escaping into her writing, having finally become a best selling author. But ever since the disappearance of her boyfriend, things seem off. She feels as though she is being watched.
When she meets Gage, at first he seems like a dream, but there's something a little off about him. She cant quite figure it out until she meets Hunter, his brother.
Soon she is learning that soulmates are real and that her future is something she never knew was possible.
This book started off a little slow for me, but once I got into it, I fell in love with it and the characters. Gage is pretty evil, but he sincerely believes that he is right. Hunter, well I just love him. Amia and her best friend are your typical ying yang. They balance each other out perfectly.
The storyline is a very unique take on soulmates and I love it.
The ending suggests that there will be another book continuing the the story. I'm looking forward to it.

I was hired to proofread this book. The only aspects of the book that I influenced were spelling and grammar. If you feel that my connection with the book makes my review untrustworthy, so be it, but this is my honest review.
I felt like this book was a fresh take on the vampire romance sub-genre, although it was also reminiscent of The Vampire Diaries in a way. Gantt's vampire lore includes elements I've never encountered before, but they definitely make a certain amount of sense.
I was intrigued by the story and wanted to keep reading, even after it was over. The story was gripping with just enough mystery to keep me guessing. The characters were well rounded and sufficiently flawed to seem real.
There were a couple aspects of the story that just did not make sense to me though, but they were fairly minor details and not really a big deal in the whole scheme of things.
Overall I give Entwined Souls 4.5 out of 5 stars. It was a very solid debut.

Ms. Gantz has a new fan. I'm all about paranormal but add a paranormal love triangle and I'm in!!! Amia, Gage and Hunter are exceptional characters that resonate with me especially Amia.
Two brothers couldn't be more different... Gage flaunts the law and Hunter is just the opposite. Amia meets Gage first and there are sparks so she agrees to go on a date with him. That's when everything spirals out of control, he really has a problem with her being an author. Hunter tried to warn her about Gage. Hunter meets Amia on the first day of her creative writing class. They have an instant attraction. Amia and Hunter spend all their time together, which makes Gage really, really unhappy. Gage lets a secret slip about him and Hunter that Amia is weary about.
Gage only wants Amia for one reason- her power. Hunter wants Amia because he's her true soulmate. A power struggle ensues between all the factions. Who will come out on top?
Ms. Gantz is a promising new author. I will be reading more of her books!!!

I'm so glad I went into this book without any spoilers because I LOVED all the twists and turns. It kept me glued to this dark tale all day! (I haven't read a vampire story in a while - why??? I think I forgot how much I love them!)
The dialogue is spot on and there is def some humor peppered throughout that I really enjoyed.
"Ah, the relaxed uniform of an author."
And the epilogue is - KILLER! Literally!
This is a fabulous debut! I highly recommend this book and can't wait for the next one in the series!!!

January 13, 2017This is the first book by Michele Gantz. I was sceptical because if you have read one vampire book, you have read a hundred BUT this book is so different and who doesn't love 2 hott vampires fighting over a wee girl. Amia is no normal girl though. She has powers that rightfully put her as a Queen. I totally loved this book and I can NOT wait for book 2. I highly recommend this book for some awesome reading and you will fall in lust with Gage and Hunter. SWOON!! Excellant debut book.

I read "entwined souls" a while back, and am currently waiting for another installment. The characters were well developed, and the writing kept me turning the page to see what would happen next.
