Redemption
You've Never Read Beauty And The Beast Like This!
I was messing with fire. He reeked of danger. He was so far out of my league, yet it was me he watched, so why not give him a show. I was safe in this cage. He could not get to me. My eyes closed as pleasure shot down my spine. I can’t explain what it was like teasing a hungry beast, especially knowing that he couldn’t touch me.
It was like being watched by a lion behind the glass at the zoo. His consuming, hungry gaze washed over my body, leaving a flaming path in its wake. I moaned as a shiver went through my core.
Needing… I didn’t know what I needed.
But I needed it so bad it hurt. He leaned over and said something to the man that sat next to him that was dressed in a white linen suit. The man’s gaze fell on me, before he nodded and stood coming my way.

A taste of OUR history, and the TRUTH
This was awesome and deserves every bit of 5 stars that I gave it. It was a beautiful story that you put together perfectly. It had me from the very beginning, but let me explain why. A lot of people that have read this do not understand the influence that was obtained to write this novel is from the BIBLE. There were clearly some fictional influence but there were a lot of parts that could be pulled right from the bible, and I know you have to be a woman with strong faith and knowledge from the book that has always belonged to our people. Coming from a woman with absolute faith and believes in the BIBLE completely, I just want to commend you and thank The Most High for helping you write such a great book. If they are anything like this??, I look forward to your future books. AWESOME JOB

😍😍😍
This was a great paranormal read. It isn’t your normal shifter story but a little more. Gabe has a dark past and the author does a great job of giving you a little at a time leading you up to why he is Gabriel Calhoun. The supporting characters Kenny and Mac are cool and hilarious at the same time and add the flair to the story. Definitely want to see what the author has in store next!

Amazing
This is an absolutely amazing story that captured my attention from the first page. I'm sure my husband is mad because I've been ignoring him until I finished 😂😂. I'm now moving on to the next part and look forward to finding out what happens next.

Edwina Fort Has Done It Again!
I laughed, cried, got angry and praised the LORD all at the same time! Gabriel was a super hero who became a Warrior for the Ancient of Days! The way Ms. Fort intertwined the Word to the overall story is simply brilliant! I can't wait to read the next story!

An Okay read .
Found this book hard to follow at times because of the language used , I didn't know what the author meant and had to hazard a guess! I'm from the UK and the author used American slang which I didn't understand. However I did like the story of the book but I do think it needed more explanation about why the characters are the way they are and what they are ! Personally for me I don't think I will carrying on with any more books from this author.

Purple Reign
Yasmin was in a whole lot of trouble. Her beloved grandfather died, leaving her all alone in the world. After his funeral, the town mayor stopped by to discuss the fate of the family farm. He then proceeded to assault and attempt to rape poor Yasmin. Poor Yasmin then proceeded to hit him in the head with a blunt object and left him for dead, fleeing her home (and the crime scene)! She lands in NYC, working behind the scenes in a gentleman's club. It is here she encounters Gabriel. Her life is about to change forever!

Fantastically Jaw Dropping
Edwina I have read all your books in a matter of 2 days this Labor Day weekend. I barely slept or ate I was so immersed! I love all the facets of each story.

I’ll be spreading the word to my fellow readers about your books! 😍😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Till death do us part?
Yasmin had left her family home,on the run because she believed she killed a man. There is more going on than meets the eye. She meets Gabriel with reluctance she marries him. There are forces at work and they each serve a purpose. A different spin on the story. I enjoyed it immensely. So many twists and turns. Although there is a HFN ending, I think there is a continuation of this story. Edge of your seat action at times.

Awesome Storyline!!!!!
This book was such a new take on an old love tale! It was refreshing and captivating. I couldn't put it down. I lost sleep because I was trying to see what came next. I don't want to give sbu spoilers, but I certainly wasn't expecting lions, lionesses, and twins and demons! I didn't expect the gullibility (is that even a word)? Jeez and the hearts and the baths! I'm going to look for a sequel!!!

No words can truly describe this masterpiece
Edwina has an amazing gift. She is able to incorporate scripture and modern times into this masterpiece in a way that is indescribable. Each novel stand on its own but all have an intricate connection. The story comes off as being so real that i end up dreaming about it. Ive read paranormal books and romance novels and connected series before but nothing can come close to Edwina Forts’ masterpieces. How she thinks up these things is truly a mystery. Makes me wonder...

Well for some reason I had thought this an IR book but is AA and a paranormal. It was engaging so I continued to read it. It did make me laugh loud in places. Worth a read. I did however, think it was rather a long story for what it was.

Happy endings!
I'm so happy Gabe and Yas got their happy ending. He was a force to be reckoned with. Having those anger issues were brought on by evil people in his presence. At least he learned to offset that anger through the spirit.

Good book to read. I enjoyed it overall but find it a bit off putting that a virgin should go through so much .

Omg
This is my first paranormal and I'm impressed with this book. The author gives very vivid details to the characters and scenery that it makes you feel as you were there. This book is full love, lust, drama, friendship and action. I felt like I was reading a movie. I love the way Yasmine fell in love with Gabe and love the way he was so gentle with her. On my way to read the rest of Mrs Fort books

Wonderful read
That Gabe is a mess, it's a wonder he made it as far as he did before Gideon and Saafiyah healed him. I'm glad he chose the right side and he is able to see his kids and build a relationship with his mother.

I feel like this storyline is detailing what we are going through today in 2020. The days are numbered. Time is short. Things are changing.
