Librarian Note: This is the updated cover for ASIN B00XJPWWCM
Isis Rowan is the fiery middle sister of the prophesized witch triplets, and when she finds out that the High Priestess Cele has not only attempted to kill her sister, but is also practicing dark magic and committing atrocious acts to gain power, she is ready to chop off some heads. To make matters worse, Cele has also targeted the gorgeous and sexy human-sex demon hybrid Braeden, who also happens to be her Fated Mate. Isis is ready to kick some ass, until she realizes that Braeden is not all that he seems. Once she uncovers the truth, it’s all-out war, and while she has no problem giving her destructive temper free reign, she must channel her anger to thwart Cele, and save those she loves. Goddess help the evil High Priestess when Isis finally gets ahold of her.
Braeden Hall, a cambion who needs sex to survive, finds himself in an impossible situation when his son is kidnapped by an insane High Priestess and held captive. To free him, Braeden thinks he’s given a simple task of collecting information on a sexy female until the witch he is to manipulate ends up being the one female meant for him, his Fated Mate. He is ultimately forced to choose between loving Isis and protecting his son. He wants nothing more than to claim Isis for eternity, but that means his son will die. The precarious balance all cambions live with is threatened, and he fears becoming a full-blown sex demon who will rape and pillage without thought. Will he be able to overcome Isis’ infamous temper and convince her to not only become his ally, but ultimately, his mate?
***Disclaimer: I received a free copy in exchange for a review.***
This is one of those PNR/UF series that's in it for the sex instead of the magic and myths, making for a light, quick and easy to read. There's just enough of a story to hold it together until the next sex scene, which there are plenty of and does get pretty steamy at times- nothing wrong with that at all. Still, there's a couple of things that bugged me.
First, the title is misleading as there's no real betrayal. While Braeden's mission is to do so, he never does; the sisters discover what's going on and quickly offer to help him. Plus the little bit of info Braeden delivers is much of nothing that Cele couldn't have pieced together herself.
Second, as is always the case with Insta-Luv Soul Mates, there's no choice or even the illusion of it. Once you hook up and get marked, that's it- you're FATED, you're DESTINED to be together... which really takes all the tension and drama out of things. And the fact that Braeden and Isis both knew it didn't exactly up the ante, either. Just makes for a lot of marking time until we get to the forgone conclusion.
Bottom line: read it for the sex and don't think too hard about anything, and you'll be fine.
Tithe book had Twists and turns and was really worth the read. The Dark Warrior Alliance Series is well worth the read. Each book is getting better and better and the love is like WOW
Friday Frights ~ PNR Review ~ Isis' Betrayal (Rowan Sisters' Trilogy, Book 2) by Trim & Julka
Reviewed by Shirley ~ 4.5 stars **ARC received for honest review**
Isis' Betrayal is due for release on 29th May 2015
This is the second book in this delightful trilogy. It lets you into the quirky world of the witches, the Rowan Sisters. It is sexy, steamy and erotic. It tells you of the meeting between Isis, the middle sister of these three witches and Braeden, a Cambion, who is sex personified, as to be able to live he has to have sex, lots and lots of sex and being one very sexy handsome dude it certainly helps.
Isis is the fiery one out of the sisters, with a temper that hits the charts and she has the long red hair that goes with it. Isis is also one very sensual woman. So when these two met at the club Confetti Too and started talking it was instant lust and at the end of the evening Isis was very shocked that Braeden walked away from her and left on his own leaving her very bewildered as she knew he was into her as much as she was into him.
This story will tell you of the obstacles that these two fated people have to face before they can finally be together but during this time the very strong attraction could not be denied and with one of their dates sex was definitely on the agenda. As always it burnt strong and hot every time they came in contact with each other.
"What are you doing to me?" she asked.
"Goddess," he uttered, about to lose his seed to her ministrations. "If you have to ask, I must not be doing it right. My da would be so ashamed, he raised me better." He laid her back on the blanket and followed her down.
Their lovemaking was so hot and erotic. Braeden couldn't understand how a female could make him feel so connected, and then he understood.
Braeden was so torn, he had a very big secret that he was unable to tell Isis and it was eating him up. Isis knew that something was wrong with Braeden; she was feeling it from their budding connection which was growing between them and wondered why he couldn't tell her.
The story reveals this secret and the evil behind it, but with the ever loving sisters behind him he could fight it and win.
The love these sisters have for each other shines through and shows that love makes you strong and you can face anything.
Love these two authors writing. Love the humour, and the sex scenes are very sensual and erotic making for a very hot read. Well done Brenda and Tami, great book.
Isis;Rowan is the middle of the Prophecy triplets and she has found her fated mate in Cambion Braeden ( semi-sex demon, not completely turned yet). But as fate would have it Cele the High priestess who has been using black magic has her claws into him ( she's kidnapped his son), and if he doesn't spy on Isis she will kill him. Braeden is between the proverbial rock and a hard place as no matter what he does he'll lose someone he loves !! Isis is having none if that !! She's ready to go in and slice and dice a few witches to get his son back and to keep him from being turned into a full on sex demon without any control ( in which case she'd have to kill him), so not on her to do list . If you love paranormal romance with lots of magic, sex and heated fight scenes, this book's for you !! 5⭐'s. I received a gifted copy of the book and am voluntarily choosing to leave an honest and unbiased review.
Bk2 in the Rowan Sister's Trilogy. Bk4 in the Dark Alliance series.
An enjoyable quick read and a good follow on from Bk1 Pema's Storm. More mayhem from the Dark Witch Cele and her attempt's to procure the Rowan Sister's power's, using loved ones against them. I'm finding that the more I read of this series, the more I get caught up in the lives of the characters within each book and looking forward to what may happen next. I do recommend you start at the beginning of this series with Bk1, "Dream Warrior" and judge for yourself. I personally am liking this series more and more. 3.5 Star's.
Isis' Betrayal is the fourth book in the Dark Warrior Alliance series by Brenda Trim and Tami Julka. This series gives off ‘Black Dagger Brotherhood’-like vibes. It is a paranormal romance/urban fantasy series with warriors, vampires, demons, witches, action, adventure, intrigue, tension, chemistry, sizzle, drama, danger, mystery, the supernatural, violence, magic, high stakes, agendas, and fated mates.
What happens when your fated mate is the one who brings secrets and betrayal into your life? Buckle up for an intriguing read.
This story is part of the Rowan Sisters series and the Dark Warrior Alliance series. I love both of these series. Each book pulls you further into their clutches. Lots of action with light and dark magic. Throw is that all the men are gorgeous and damn you can’t get enough. Everyone seems to be slowly finding their fated mates. But an evil witch is out to destroy what happiness everyone has. Scenes between the main two characters does heat up and they just can’t keep their hands off of each other. Love that both males and females kick butt.
This is book two of the Rowan sisters’ arc of the Dark Warrior Alliance series and it is one steamy novel. The compulsion to mate is very strong for Isis and Braedon and it seems to overwhelm them often.However, they still manage to thwart the plans of the evil Cele. Fast paced story with lots of action and magic, an exciting climax and a satisfying resolution. I recall complimentary copy from the author.
I have been provided with a copy of Isis’ Betrayal by the author for an impartial review. This is the fourth book in the Dark Warrior Alliance series and also is the second book in the Rowan Sisters’ Trilogy and we get to see Pema’s sister Isis Rowan and Braeden Hall come together. I’m really enjoying getting to meet the Rowan sisters and learn their stories. This book was just great read and so easy to get lost in. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
This again brings us into the Rowan triplets witches, this time we look at Isis, and through the meddling dark witch Cele, Braeden is sent to spy on the three. However, things turn out for the red headed Rowan triplet, better than anyone could imagine. This isn't to say there isn't drama and a heartwarming story behind the HEA. I read this as part of the "Dark Warrior Alliance Box set 1-4".
Isis is one of the Rowan witch triplets and Braedon is a Gambion which means he is a half human half sex demon male. Gambions are Isis's favourite type of males and she is pleased when she first meets Braedon. The way the authors tell the tale of these two fated mates is sure to fascinate readers just as I was which is why I would highly recommend this book is all who love great shifter stories.
This was a mega quick read for me. I really like this series which is ever so similar to another popular series! I love to see these ancient species find their fated mates it’s a formula well used and enjoyable when done right! My only bug bear was the power of 3 comments as a huge Charmed fan it kinda drove me crazy! Fabulous for those fantasy fans that love some hot sex scenes with fated mates and lots of paranormal activity.
I love how Braedon & Isis thought they'd just have sex and it would stop the pull they had to each other. Fate had other plans. I felt awful for Braedon being pitted against his son & mate. What a horrible spot to be in. And Claire really helped everything Cele was trying to do implode. Not that Claire didn't do enough damage. However, she got what she deserved in the end. I just wish Cele didn't escape!
I really enjoyed read this series. Isis wants nothing more to find her fated mate but when she does she knows that he is holding something from her. Braeden & Isis learn they are fated mates but will Braeden’s betrayal ruin the union for good? This series has me hooked. Between the betrayal, love, lust and revenge this story has me reading non stop. Can’t wait to read Suvi’s story next.
The authors do good erotic, paranormal romantic adventure. The plotline is good, and the characters are attractive(if a bit two-dimensional) The grammar is often atrocious. Is English not your first language? Either get a thesaurus or a good editor. I would read other books in this series if I wasn't so exacting.
This story was better than the previous book. The second of the triplet witch sisters Isis, meets her fated mate Braeden. His son has been kidnapped by Cele , a witch who has turned to the dark arts and he is compelled to discover the triplet witches weaknesses in order to free his son.
Isis’ Betrayal: (Dark Warrior Alliance Book 4) by Brenda Trim & Tami Julka. Cele wants the power of the triplet witches and kidnaps Braeden’s son to get Braeden to get to know the triplets and spy on them. When Braeden meets Isis they are immediately attracted to each other, they are fated mates. Braeden is torn between his mate and freeing his son.
Another good book in the Dark Warrior Alliance series. An alpha hunky male & a strong feisty female take on an evil force to save his son. I look forward to reading more books in this series.
I was enjoying until the very end. Big fight against the the evil witch, vanquished her plan and be prepared to celebrate. Nope. I actually checked page numbers to make sure. Cute family bonding scene, grab hands and The End. Did not like that at all.
Will these 3 sisters ever have anything in their lives be easy? I loved this book. It had all the sexy elements need for 3 beautiful, crazy, talented witches.
Man you don't bring kids into the mess of grown people. I am so glad that witch got exactly what she deserved. It was a strong not to scream. I enjoyed every second of it.
Another great book in the Dark Warrior Alliance Series! It has become one of my favorite series right now! Live the characters and their mates. Keep them coming!
