Their fiery love could overpower the enemy or destroy them both.
Black Phoenix, Book 1
Once the self-indulgent, hedonistic heir to the Phoenician throne, Prince Talen Jacek has lived a cursed existence for over two thousand years, sacrificing his life so that strangers may live. Suffering one violent death after another, though, is nothing compared to the soul-eating agony of the emotional isolation he endures. Until he sets his eyes on the enemy s next victim.
Every morning, computer programmer Keri Maddox gets up, goes through her daily grind, and returns home to a frozen meal and a book before bed. Her life may not be filled with glamour or excitement, but predictability is her mantra. Then she discovers Talen in her apartment wearing only a towel and suddenly her safe and tidy world is yanked from under her feet.
An inferno of carnal need erupts between them, hotter than the phoenix s fire. Yet the power of their igniting love may not be enough to save Keri from a killer who s determined to deliver the inevitable death stroke."
Nothing exciting happens in Tawny Taylor's life, unless you count giving the cat a flea dip--a cat can make some fascinating sounds when immersed chin-deep in insecticide--or chasing after a houseful of upchucking kids during flu season. She doesn't travel the world or employ a staff of personal servants. She's not even built like a runway model. She's just your run-of-the-mill, pleasantly plump Detroit suburban mom and wife.
This isn't my normal cup of tea but I thought I would give it a try. I'm not big on the bondage thing but I get how other people are into it. But other than that I did like the book.
Talen is so steamy hot and I find him to be such a real sweetie. The story is very good, this book reminds me a lot of Karen Kelley's books, Cosmic sex, close encounter of the sexy kind, Bad Boys guide to the Galaxy. Some hot sex and just fun reading.
Taken was so yummy.... I really wanted to like this book but story line just didn't do it for me. Found myself skimming through book and I hate to do that.
