I guess romance is just something that goes with the genre, so I will not be picky about it. Romance inside, people, if you don't like, don't read it. On the plus side, the centuries old character in this book is actually conflicted about being atracted to a girl so much younger than he is (not a...
I'm conflicted about this series because it was long. I was interested enough in the characters to keep reading and to buy all four books but in reality I was getting a little tired of the plot by book four. I did enjoy it but I will likely not read them again and in retrospect I'm not sure I wou...
This book is truly amazing! better than the previous in the set but you have to read them before this one or you will be definitely lost. Words can not describe what to say about this book, but I truly enjoyed every moment reading it. The characters are awesome and the book has an excellent mixt...
Probably my favourite of the four novels; Gio and Beatrice call in a lot of favours to resolve the remaining mystery of the elixir, its effects and the political machinations in Rome. Like Twilight #4 it ends in a confrontation with a power roman vampire syndicate. Unlike Twilight there is a majo...
Story 3.5Narration 4Extension of the elemental mysteries(EM) series storyline, which was excellent. This novel filled in the gaps of Carwyn's life (One of the best characters from EM) in Ireland while he was a way from Bea and Gio. To be truthful it was too slow for a long period of time waitin...
Fun, light romance. A nice break from some of the more political-heavy books in the Elemental World series. I liked seeing more of these two characters but I almost wish it was a full book, not a novella. They were providing a nice insight into what the machinations of Gio/Bea & Co look like f...
First, let me say I've always given Elizabeth Hunter's books an enthusiastic five stars and two thumbs up. I feel guilty and to be honest, sad, to give this book less than four stars. Let me explain: The Elemental Mysteries was amazing and I was excited to hear Carwyn still had a story to tell. O...
4.5 stars. (I grade Romance on a curve.)A jewel of a romance. Even though I keep testing the waters of the genre, I've found very little to love. This one is unlike anything else I've read and an unexpectedly delightful surprise, although it has a bit of a slow start.The story revolves around two...
Who would have thought of Baojia a human??? Natalie is a force to be reckoned with, a true beauty of nature to behold and she is someone who comes into Boajia's life with a full slap!! The true turn around in his personality is something I would never thought I would read but I am so happy that ...
This was a hard story to read. The unrelenting awfulness of what happens to the main character is really well portrayed, which makes it all the more horrifying. But it was extremely well written (as to be expected from Ms. Hunter) and I love the character. Knowing that happier things were in s...
Loved this short and intense introduction to what appears to be another great series hit by Elizabeth Hunter. I absolutely loved it. How did she mange to get me all choked up with such a small tasting of what's to come. So much emotion. Such perfectly written sorrow and love in Jena and Lowell's ...
Cobbled walkways under his feet as he strode the paths his ancestors had followed. Sun-warmed stone and the smell of the river in his nose. The familiar streets were a comforting respite from the tumult of his waking hours. Ava reached out and took his hand. “Where are we?” “When,” he said, takin...
Malachi’s eyes were trained on the television in a corner of the room, the black and white image glowing in the dim sitting room. The fire crackled in the hearth and early snow fell outside the window. A peaceful scene. Idyllic on a cold winter night. But the jostling in her belly was just a bit...

He’d stumbled home around one in the morning, obviously exhausted. Allie hadn’t protested when he crawled into bed with her and passed out. She couldn’t. He looked too tired and worried to send away. She knew most of the story from his texts the night before. The young man who’d broken into her h...
“Ciao, Claudio.” “Ciao, Ben.” He threw his satchel into the back of the boat and climbed in next to Claudio. “It’s still hot,” Claudio said. “Even at night. It’s not cooling off at all anymore.” “I know.” “You have your passport? Get it out. I’ll take you to the airport right now. Get you out of ...
“Jena!” he screamed. “Wake up!” He shook her a little. “Ow.” She groaned. “Cut it out.” “You’re bleeding so much. Too much.” He tore off his shirt and pressed it to her belly. Owww. She winced and pressed her face into his chest. He smelled right. He was perfect for her. How had she been so lucky...
Damien was stretched out next to her, his long, graceful fingers trailing over the swollen skin of her belly. It was only a small bump, but he had not been able to keep his hands off it since he’d arrived on Sunday. Now it was Wednesday, and she knew he only had a few hours before he needed to re...
The steel turned the consistency of wet cardboard as it slumped in his hands. Giovanni pushed aside the soft metal, blocking the three vampires behind him as Terry sent a blast of cold water to cool it.Jean’s human assault team had remained, standing alert on deck to grab any humans they found. T...
'Change into a dress, Hero. Something soft and pretty. And wear a hat, will you? If you must, you can even have a bath yourself! I flew through a great bank of rain-clouds on the way here. They can't all be so unkind as to go somewhere else! Have your bath, and leave me to worry about the consequ...
He could still taste her skin. Still smell the jasmine in her hair. He rolled over, eyes slowly opening, and the bedclothes were damp, as if they’d been left out in the night air. “Ava…,” he whispered. A knock came at the door. “Wake up.” It was Rhys. “We’ve got work to do in the library. Leo wan...
He had Ted to himself for a whole weekend, and he’d started out pissing her off because his father had annoyed him. What happened to romance? He had to get his head on straight. The fact that they’d be together in the days leading up to the full moon would be challenging enough for their differen...
Ava had a hard time sleeping. Part of her wanted to find her grandmother, but another part wanted to be back in Bulgaria. Only Kyra’s urging had allowed her to leave. “Go. Find your grandmother. You know who and what she is now. You can help her.” Ava had wanted to start lessons immediately. She’...
“Brandy.” Nathaniel rubbed his aching midriff, still sore from the round of shot she’d fired into him. Nettie’s hands visibly shook as she poured a dram of brandy into each glass. She passed one to him before taking a seat in the chair opposite his. Her ruddy skin was still pale from shock, an...
