Dark Sentinel
Their love could give him a second chance at life-or condemn her to an eternity of damnation. A Book of Netherworld Yanked from his tortured existence in Netherworld and dumped naked in the Louisiana Bayou, Lash could swear he's died and gone to heaven. Except for the fact that a millennium ago he died a condemned soul, forever barred from Paradise. His new life feels like the next best thing, full of small miracles. Like silence. And ice water. And the company of a beautiful, compassionate woman. Teva is a woman with a taste for heavy-metal music, an inherited talent for magic, and a trusting heart. She knows nothing about the mysterious stranger she's taken in, only that he needs her help. And the fact that he's gorgeous hasn't escaped her attention. She can't see Lash as anything other than a sexy, gentle man who soothes her nightmares away. Then Lash learns the real reason for his reprieve from Netherworld-he's been sent to corrupt Teva's soul with sinful pleasures. Starved for tenderness and aching with desire, Lash yearns to accept the loving embrace Teva offers. But he can't give in to passion without tainting her, condemning her to the horrors of Netherworld. The ultimate battle between good and evil is brewing, and Lash stands caught in the middle between Teva, who owns his heart-and Satan, who owns his soul. Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, and graphic violence. Netherworld is a dark, forbidding place.

The characters:
Teva & Lash (Nic),
The story:
Lash is a condemned soul. He spends eternity in the Netherworld being beaten to death, literally. His deaths are horrific, described in detail, and heartbreaking.
Teva is a compassionate, sweet, but strong-willed woman running a camping reserve in the Louisiana Bayou. She is trying to make it on her own without anyone’s help.
Fate brings Lash and Teva together, or is it Fate? Teva finds Lash naked and injured in the Bayou. Teva, wanting to help, takes Lash in not knowing anything about him. Lash, accustomed to torture and anguish, thinks he has reached his own Paradise.
From the beginning, Teva realizes that Lash is not “normal”. She initially thinks it is his injuries. Lash does not know what a car is or what a television is, he has no preferences for things, he appreciates the simple things in life and is grateful for everything. While she should be wary of him, she finds his kindness and his appreciation for her to be heartwarming. She clearly is falling for Lash.
Lash quickly realizes that he was sent to Teva for a reason. He is going to do everything possible to protect Teva from the evil forces that brought him to her even if it costs him more in the end.
Lost In The World:
I loved the setting. The Bayou was isolated and rugged. The author does a good job of making the reader feel like you were in a bug, and animal infested hot, swampy place. I liked the fact that the location was not your normal “cabin” setting. It definitely added flare to the book.
Will I read the next book in the series?
If there was a second book, I would. I had a few issues with some sentences. I kept thinking I was reading them wrong but realized it was bad editing. This only happened a few times and in no way, halted the flow of the story.
Lash is such a likeable character that I felt like rescuing him. The way the author shows his gratefulness was very clever. When you are tortured repeatedly, the choice of mustard and mayonnaise is insignificant!
The sexual tension in the book was through the roof but handled very tactfully. This is not a straight smut book. It had a great story line!
