Moon #2
Gemini Moon
A warrior by nature, a prince by birth, Ash del Gar resigns himself to a loveless, political marriage with the princess of a neighboring country. On his wedding night he discovers his bride is Raaka-one without a soul. For peace to reign, the marriage must produce children, so when a holy man tells Ash of a way to retrieve the princess's soul, he agrees to try. In the midst of a storm, through the power of a crystal medallion, Ash is struck by lightning and transported to Earth. Lame since childhood, Cathy Lawrence expresses her longings for love only in the imaginary world and the imaginary lover she's created in her art. When the naked embodiment of her dream lover appears in her studio, Cathy fears her fantasy world is becoming more real than reality. Using the power of the storm, Ash abducts Cathy to his world. Cathy struggles to find her way back to Earth and sanity, while Ash fights his growing love for the woman whom he must convince to save his world by sacrificing her soul...

There is little to recommend this book, and I found it hard to believe this was the beginning of a series.
Ash de Gar is on a quest to find the soul of his wife. This quest leads him to another world- our world- and into the home of Cathy. Cathy has been drawing Ash and his world for years, and fights both disbelief and a growing attraction. Cathy just happens to possess the soul Ash is looking for, so he kidnaps her back to his world...
The science fiction element isn't well thought out, and comes off as a badly planned afterthought. The rest is repetitive, going over the same thoughts and situations again and again. I felt no sympathy for the characters, and couldn't relate to them at all. I found them trite and more annoying than anything.

I absolutely loved this book! The first chapter was all backstory and a little boring and I questioned whether or not I wanted to continue. I reminded myself I just had to read through the backstory clutter to get to the more modern part of the story. And I am so glad I pushed through it because I was hooked at the beginning of chapter 2.

hmmm ... It was a free kindle book. I love free books so I'll download just about anything.
This one wasn't bad, I guess. SOOOO predicatable. About 100 pages in, I could tell you how it ended. But it wasn't too bad. It was a romance/fantasy. Nothing paticulary interesting or new about it. But it was free, so I guess I won't complain.

There were a lot of negative reviews on this book, but I found the world of Mardelan & Arete very unique. With their cat creatures and other uniquely draw out animals...it made me think of a fairy tale. With vaguely written out love scenes, that is the only reason I am giving it a 4 star. If the author had of put more Passion in the love scene this would be a 5 star book:+)

Do you still hold that child who likes happily ever after stories? Did you always love a fairy tale full of adventure where the handsome knight saves the day? This is that kind of fairy tale with an adult spin added in. It was a nice escape even if you don't believe in fairy tales anymore.

A kindle free download. I hadn't read a romance novel in years and didn't expect this one to be a romance... But, romance it certainly is. Not my genre but interesting never- the-less, good plot and parts are very well written. I finished it!

I enjoyed this entire series which are more fantasy romance than pure fantasy. The characters are interesting and the female lead is admirably strong which I appreciate. I think it has gotten lower ratings than it deserves perhaps because readers wanted pure fantasy and not a romance.

This was a good book. I really enjoyed it. It jumps between worlds, and I love books that do that. The premise was interesting to me, and I thought the author told the story well. When I wasn't reading, I was thinking about what would happen next.

Kindle freebie. A very different and interesting world about lost souls and love.

This was kind of a cool story. Glad I read it...but don't know that I'll read the rest in the series.

I wasn't in the moon for something taxing, and this fit the bill perfectly. The romance proceeded as expected, with the right amount of complication and drama on the way, leading to a happy ending.

Ugh, Lame. I mean, not terribly awful but not one I ever think I will re-read.

Actually kind of an interesting concept--rescuing a soul that's left someone and the soulless can exist for years in a functional, but somewhat comatose state.
