3.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful! Great author!, January 27, 2003

This review is from: Born Of The Night (The League) (Paperback)

I was so thrilled to be able to get ahold of this book. I have enjoyed every book that Sherrily has written. I have been lucky enough to have met her in cyber-space and found that she is a wonderfully nice person with a great sense of humor. I hope to meet her in person some day. Until then I will have to read all of her books again and again.

Now this book is tied in with her book Paradise City. Both are sci-fi romances that pack a lot of action and heat. The hero of this book, Nemesis, is a dark, fearsome warrior who has a fierce reputation as a mercenary. He also has a secret. He has admired and dreamed about the heroine for years. Princess Kiara is a wonderful dancer who soon finds herself in very close quarters with Nemesis. He is protecting her from her father's enemies but at a high cost, his heart. The two are trying to fight their growing attraction for each other but failing. The passions soon ignite and the fireworks are fantastic.

I loved the supporting characters. They added humor and really tied the whole book together.

I hope that there maybe more in this series. Hint, Hint! If you can get this book and Paradise City as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars a riveting futuristic romance, December 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Born Of The Night (The League) (Paperback)

I've read this hard to put down book twice. Full of suspense, adventure and romance it keeps the reader eager to find the outcome. The hero is belivable and his character is wonderfully constructed. The conflict of his watrring emotions and the situation itself makes for a great read. I look forward to more romances involving the remaining cast of characters in the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars They led different lives until love unites them against evil, May 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Born Of The Night (The League) (Paperback)

"They call him Nemesis. Once a renegade assassin, now a warrior-soldier sworn to protect the innocent from the ruthless mercenaries throughout the galaxies."

This implies quite the hero, and Nykyrian lives up to this promise of a troubled hero who thinks he needs to love from afar. He has always admired Kiara when she danced. Now his feelings lead him to accept the job to keep her alive. Kiara is intrigued, intimidated and confused by Nykyrian. She knows she can trust him with her life and to keep her safe, but can she trust him with her heart? She realizes that he does love her but cannot say it.

Kiara has a death contract on her because her father, Predident of the Gourish Consolate, Commander Tiarun Biardi, refused to be intimidated by Probekin threats. Against his better judgement, he hires Nykyrian but when it looks like Nykyrian has harmed his daughter, Commander Tiarum puts a contract on Nykyrian. Not the best move, since Kiara has married Nykyrian and danger to him is danger to her. Just being married to Nykyrian put her in danger, because he has many enemies. One who captures her and Nykyrian goes to save her knowing it will cost him his life...

This is a fast paced adventure with many emotional scenes that make the book hard to put down. The HEA ending is a must for my enjoyment of a book... and I did enjoy this one.
