One
of the great things about having LOTS of snow this winter (perhaps the only
great thing), is the time I've had to read some wonderful books. And one of the
great things about being a blogger is meeting other writers. So I decided to
combine those two great things by creating new feature on this blog to help promote some of the fantastic authors I've come across in the blog-o-sphere.
Welcome to the first edition of, “So My Friend Wrote this Book...”
This
week I'm starting with the book that has been on my nightstand the longest.
Sara Humphreys sent me a copy of her paranormal romance novel Untouched months ago. It is the third in her series about an
ancient society of telepathic, dream-walking shape-shifters called the Amoveo.
[You can read my review of the first book Unleashed here.] With so much going on in my life, Untouched sat on my nightstand far too long. So long in fact,
the next book in the series is slated for publication in May! On the plus side,
if you like it, you won't have to wait long for the next book.
All
Amoveos have a predestined mate they must meet and connect with before they're
thirty. Otherwise, they lose their abilities and die a slow and painful death.
In the first two books we learn that for the first time, some Amoveo have found
their mates among humans. These matings have created Amoveo-human hybrids.
Often times, these hybrids grow up not knowing about their shapeshifting
heritage. They do however, grow up knowing they are different than the other
kids on the block. Such is the case with heroine Kerry Smithson. She wears
gloves constantly and avoids shaking hands with people. The world believes
Kerry, a well-known model, is an eccentric germophobe. She allows this
misperception to flourish in order to hide the truth. She is a powerful
telepath for whom human contact is excruciatingly painful.
Available at Amazon.com. |
Then
she meets Dante Coltari. Hired to protect her, Dante's touch is far from
painful for Kerry. For the first time in her life, the human touch is not just
painless, but deeply pleasurable. Dante has recognized Kerry is his predestined
mate and initiates her into the world of the Amoveo. His job is to keep her
safe from the purists who believe Amoveo-human hybrids are an abomination that
weaken their race.
If
you like your romance, with a side of paranormal, I encourage you to check out
the whole series. There are great characters, drama, action, danger, and enough
spice to heat up these chilly New England days. Maybe Mother Nature ought to
read this series!
To
celebrate the first in what I hope will be a long series, I am having a
give-away! You could win this cool 39 For the First Time bag and copies of Unleashed and Untouched by Sara Humphreys. If you leave a comment below, I'll enter you once.
