Magic bites…
Created at Prince Taric’s birth, Myla is a spell, an enchantment designed to appear and protect him when he needs it most. She has always been content to do her duty…until one night of forbidden passion leaves her longing to experience life—and love—as a mortal woman. Yet the risk is too great. Even if her blood runs as red as his, she can never give him the one thing he needs: a child.
Taric’s blessing—and his curse—is knowing the kingdom’s future depends on his producing an heir to continue the bloodline. His bond with Myla has always been that of protector and protected. When it suddenly becomes something much more, he unwittingly sentences his people to certain death.
An old enemy is plotting to destroy all he holds dear: his lands, his people, his father, and his lover. And this time, even if they fight tooth and blade, their shared magic may not be enough to save them…
Warning: This book contains a shape-shifting bodyguard, sizzling sex scenes, supernatural lilac mist, swordfighting and heartbreaking sacrifices. No jaguars were harmed in the writing of this story.
My views :
This was such a beautiful story...absolutely captivating. The characters were just incredibly easy to fall in love with...Myla and Taric are such multi-dimensional characters. I was swept into the story from the first word and spell-bound till the last word...in the end, I didn't want the story to finish. There is such beauty, bittersweet pain and sensuality woven in through the course of the story. Needless to say, there were moments where my heart was hurting and my throat was seizing up from the deeply emotional scenes...I cried even while smiling through my tears. I highly recommend this book. Just be sure to keep a box of tissues close-by.
Bravo to Ms. Kelly for conveying such incredible emotions into words and making one hell of an amazing tale.
