Tori has been a lot of things over the past 2500 years- a sister, a daughter, an illegitimate heir to a missing crown, a soldier, an assassin, an explorer, and a con-man. The one thing she hasn’t been is a babysitter, but when the sleeping human she’s been hired to transport across the mortal realm wakes up, Tori suddenly finds herself adding nanny to her resume.
As if that wasn’t enough, her tribe of Fae has triggered a Reckoning- fate’s way of balancing the karmic scales- which is systematically bringing Tori and her sisters face to face with their past, including the man she’s just been partnered with. But Ryn is no ordinary blast from the past, he’s the gorgeous hunk of flesh she duped, doped and ditched over 200 years ago, and has been running from ever since. See, he’s her anam-cara- her soul mate- but that’s not necessarily a good thing. Because to be with Ryn, Tori will have to give up a piece of her soul, and that’s the one thing she’s not willing to part with.
After one intense night of passion that ended badly, Ryn never thought he’d see Tori again, but he’s never gotten her out of his system either. So when she shows up 200 years later- as his partner, no less- he’s shocked and angry, but just as drawn to her as ever. And this time, he’s not going to let her get away so easily.
Between paying karmic dues, the nanny gig, and protecting her heart and soul, Tori is pretty distracted these days. And distractions will get you killed.
Review:
This book was a gift from the author and Paranormal Romance and Authors That Rock for my honest review. This is the first in the series as we start off with meeting Tori, who is part Fae and part Pixie, a mercenary, and triplet. We get to know her though the story as she starts her adventure guarding a human girl in a coma. In comes Ryn. We find out that Tori and Ryn had a brief history that didn’t end so well, but now they have to work together to protect this girl. Through this story we follow Tori and Ryn as they work out their attraction, find out what is really going on with the human girl, and the many other dangers that follow. Tori’s two other sisters Lea and Mae are introduced as well, but we really get to know Mae in this book. The interaction between Tori and Mae is hilarious and crazy! They are very close but also can’t stand each other for very long. I really liked Tori, Ryn,and Mae and how believable and real they felt to me. Tori is a strong warrior, but has a softer side she tries to hide. Ryn is a super alpha male, but lets Tori be herself as much as he can.Mae is just crazy, but so likable! I read this book in one day as I couldn’t put it down,I had to see what would happen next ! The scenes were tense,funny, emotional, and steamy all rolled into one. I would give this book 5 stars instead of the 4, but I was not sold on the cover art. It just didn’t jump out at me and say hey look at me! Boy would I have missed out! I will definitely be buying the next in the series. I would definitely recommend this book to others, but there are some steamy love scenes so 18 and over!
About the author:
Bethany lives in Northern Colorado with her musician/psychic husband, her practically-grown children, and three demanding cats. When she’s not writing, she’s reading (usually about immortals or rock stars), and when she’s doing neither of those, she’s probably watching Sons of Anarchy or Doctor Who. All Hail Lady Nerds!
