BRAVING FATE by Lindsey Hall

BOOK 1 of THE MYTHEAN ARCANA

DESCRIPTION

As chaos looms, a warrior queen is reborn

Bookish academic Diana Laughton has been having terrible dreams. Dreams of battle, dreams of blood… dreams so vivid she's living them day and night. When demons invade her quiet life, she wonders if she’s going mad. Or if perhaps she's remembering a past life she had no idea existed…

In the midst of betrayal, he must protect her

Mythean Guardian Cadan Trinovante loved and betrayed Britain's warrior queen Boudica two millennia ago. Now he’s tasked with protecting mortals whose lives affect the fate of humanity. His latest assignment is Boudica herself, reincarnated as a woman with no idea of her past or her fated future. Though in the irresistible form of Diana Laughton, it's possible Cadan has once again met his match…

To succumb to seduction could prove fatal


Thrown together in a shadowy world that exists alongside our own, Diana and Cadan must fight not only the demonic forces that want Diana dead, but a past and a passion that have lasted centuries. Their desire could be deadly. But as evil from the underworld unites against them, their only hope could be each other.

STORM'S HEART by Thea Harrison

I loved Dragos, the Dragon, in Book 1. However, I found Tiago, the Thunderbird, to be equally sexy and memorable. Maybe it was because he was mythological and unlike any shifter I had read about before. Rarely does a character seem invincible, but this hero came across to me as absolutely unshakeable.  ~ DM

BOOK 2 of the ELDER RACES Series

DESCRIPTION

He’s a wyr warrior, a god of storms. She’s the heir to the Dark Fae throne. But desire will bring both to their knees in this all-new Novel of the Elder Races.

During the rule of her murderous Dark Fae uncle, Thistle “Tricks” Periwinkle found sanctuary among the wyr in New York. Her ethereal beauty and sparkling personality won the hearts of the public, but after her uncle’s death, there are those who don’t want to see her ascend to the throne…

Able to wield thunder and lightning, wyr sentinel Tiago Black Eagle has ruled the skies for centuries. His massive build and thunderous power make him one of the wyr’s best weapons. And he’s sent to protect Tricks when she’s almost assassinated in Chicago.

Soon, both Tiago and Tricks will fall prey to the stormy hunger that engulfs them—a passion that will shake the very foundation of all the worlds…

The Elder Races series is set in an alternative universe where magical and mythological creatures live openly alongside humankind.  The stories are full of insouciant sexy alpha heroes and the strong-minded heroines that tame them.   ~ From Thea

DRAGON BOUND by Thea Harrison

This is yet another book a friend recommended to me because she knew I love dragons.  Thea Harrison's lead character in Book 1, Dragos Cuelebre, is one of those romance heroes you'll be thinking about long after you finish the book.  Trust me--lol. I now own this author's entire paranormal romance collection on my Kindle.  ~ DM

BOOK 1 of the ELDER RACES Series

DESCRIPTION

Half-human and half-wyr, Pia Giovanni spent her life keeping a low profile among the wyrkind and avoiding the continuing conflict between them and their Dark Fae enemies. But after being blackmailed into stealing a coin from the hoard of a dragon, Pia finds herself targeted by one of the most powerful–and passionate—of the Elder Races.

As the most feared and respected of the wyrkind, Dragos Cuelebre cannot believe someone had the audacity to steal from him, much less succeed. And when he catches the thief, Dragos spares her life, claiming her as his own to further explore the desire they’ve ignited in one another.

The Elder Races series is set in an alternative universe where magical and mythological creatures live openly alongside humankind.  The stories are full of insouciant sexy alpha heroes and the
strong-minded heroines that tame them.   ~ From Thea

But when her sister, Petra, and Petra’s husband are both killed, Grace inherits the Power and responsibilities of the Oracle of Louisville, as well as her sister’s two young children – neither of which she is prepared for.

Yet, she is not alone. Khalil, Demonkind and Djinn prince of House Marid – driven by his genuine caring for the children – has decided to make himself a part of the household both as their guardian and as an exasperating counterpoint to Grace’s impudence toward the Elder Races.

But when an attempt is made on Grace’s life, she realizes that Khalil is the only one who can protect her – and offer her more than a mortal man…
