Amethyst Flames

by Trinity Blacio

Kayla Dunsmore has had her share of heartache. Her husband turned out to be an abusive jerk, she survived cancer, and her family has been ripped from her life by a tragic accident. Now, she's just tired of fighting to survive and is ready for a stroke of good luck. Unfortunately, it's not to be. The last straw comes when, once again, the doctor tells her the grim the cancer is back. Not only is it back, but it will take a radical treatment for any hope of survival. Zarth, an advisor to the goddess Freya, is by himself, the way he likes it. His kind, the Phooka, don't do well in numbers. But the moment he sees Kayla, Zarth doesn't want to be alone anymore. And that's a problem because, according to Freya, the only way to save her is to take her to the planet Amethyst Flames. The planet is fraught with danger for Kayla, and to compound the issue, Freya tells them that Zarth must share Kayla with his brother Tirian. Can Kayla handle the transition to a new planet and a new lifestyle? Can Zarth and Tirian learn to share? Or will they burn up in Amethyst Flames?

~~ 3.5 stars~~

got to love the short sexy reads! this one comes under about 50 pages. The beginning was sketchy for me (smiles) then got me all into it until the end.

I love a fun hot read, bossy males and the Seelie! Fate again makes herself known, and just because you're living your life one way, you never know when it could change.

really short, wanted it just a tad bit longer. but I do love trinity's books! her story lines and characters fits the bill for me and feeds my addiction to hot menages. I read and reviewed this book voluntarily.
Enjoy.

We begin with what I would consider are the two main characters to the story, although this is a ménage and there is a third party who we don't meet until later. Kayla and Zarth have scars of both the emotional and physical variety for very different reasons from very different realms of the universe. While Zarth's physical scars were due to going to battle for his goddess, Kayla's scars are due to the viciousness of her ex-husband and the ravages of cancer therefore marking her a victim in battles she had no choice in fighting.

What I struggled with while reading this story was the lack of flow especially during conversational moments between the main characters. When Kayla first meets Zarth, her questions are not those typical of having met someone for the first time especially if that someone is not even of this realm. When Zarth first relates his fear of beds or lack experience with emotions to Kayla, she doesn't acknowledge those quirks, as I would have expected her to. I guess if I was in my last moments on earth I wouldn't be puzzling over little trivialities like that either, but the believability was lacking. There were moments of confusion as well with the scene changes.

It was however, heartfelt to read what Kayla had gone through not only with her ex-husband, but also with continuing struggle to survive and beat cancer. Kayla is definitely an uplifting character in her own right and shows much strength in never giving up no matter how dire the circumstances. Readers will definitely take away a message in Kayla's courage. I will say that Zarth & Tirian's family dynamics are interesting to say the least and unlike most ménages, the twins don't start out sharing Kayla so easily. Ms. Noreen's new world is very creative and will capture and keep the readers attention.

Recommended reading for fans of learning about new realms and new creatures with happy pleasurable endings.
