"An exciting and sensual installment in the Darkland Saga!"

On a journey to discover the origins of his kind, Mathin, a Haunt from the Darklands, travels to Earth with his friend, Fallon. They want to contact those of their kind who chose to stay behind. Much stronger and faster than humans, the Haunt were persecuted by man, and so escaped to an alternate dimension in order to prevent the extinction of their race. The Haunt, man's so called "werewolf", were easily hunted by man because of human women known as sylphs, women who produced a pheromone no Haunt male could resist.

Andrea is conned into traveling to Alaska to keep house for Fallon, her grandmother's employer, while Grandma takes a vacation. Andrea is unaware that she is a sylph, or that Fallon and his guest, Mathin, are Haunt. Mathin is instantly in lust with Andrea, and decides to make her his. Because of the circumstances of their visit, Andrea is soon in danger from extremists who have recognized her as a sylph, and Mathin chooses to take her to the Darklands rather than allow her to be destroyed. Andrea learns quickly that life is very different in the Darklands, but Mathin makes it worth the sacrifice of leaving all she has ever known.

Mathin is another of the tall, dark, and dangerous variety. While he is very much the alpha male, Andrea is certainly no pushover or clinging vine. The dynamics between two such strong people trying to compromise and work out a relationship is very entertaining. I enjoyed this book very much. However, I would love to know if Fallon will get his own story, and whether we might get the complete story of Rihlia and Jayems, secondary characters in Teasing Danger, the first book of this series. (Hint! Hint! Ms. Dawn.) Of course, all of the Haunt mentioned sound yummy, so I sincerely hope we will hear more from the Darklands.

Summary

Ever fall in love with the wrong man?

With a body to make a young girl sigh and a voice like black velvet, Mathin is definitely the wrong man. He's not safe, he's not stable . . . he's not even human.

Andrea doesn't know what she's getting into when she agrees to visit her granny. Swept away to another world by a man almost too hot to handle, she can't decide if it's a dream come true or someone's idea of a sick joke. Romanced by the light of the triple moons, entranced by Mathin's fiery kisses, will Andrea give up her home on Earth in exchange for -- Something wild!
