"Original Time Travel / Fantasy - Sensual"
Newer author Sara MacKenzie serves up a truly original and
innovative Fantasy/TimeTravel that should captivate you
from the very first pages with her crisp well written story. Melanie Jones thought that her latest assignment for the
law firm of Foyle, Haddock and Williams would be the one
that offered up a partnership, a goal she'd worked hard
for. What could be so hard about cataloguing the 18th
century estate of Ravenswood in Cornwall? From the very
first night Melanie arrived, an incredibly handsome man
galloped alongside her car winked and then abruptly
disappeared. Melanie thought it was her imagination until
he later appeared, in the flesh, and oh my, she felt
emotions she'd never experienced before. Nathaniel Raven was the infamous Raven, a notorious
highwayman shot dead in the year 1814 and who now was given
a second chance by a Sorceress to come back to right the
wrongs that had been done to him. Murdered by a man he
once called friend, he was offered this one chance to work
with and convince the very irritating Melanie Jones, to
help him defeat Pengorren. As they reluctantly worked
together their passion would be all consuming when it soon
appeared that Melanie's strange visions held part of the
key to defeating the very evil immortal. *** This was a highly original and fast moving read that
contained all the elements needed to catapult it right to
the top of anyones favorite 2006 books list. Describing
scenes of scorching passion with a handsome rogue from the
past, the leads are dynamite together as they combine
forces to combat a truly evil being that wants to suck the
energy out of and consume Melanie. While it took me a few
chapters to warm up to the very prickly Melanie, it was an
instant love fest for the character of Nathaniel and his
hell-hound dog Teth. The author crafted explicit love
scenes with Nathaniel which were pure bliss while oozing
out feelings of creepiness with Pengorren that will send
shivers up your spine. This is an author that shows
tremendous talent and I plan to keep my eye on future
offerings.
