Catches you from the first page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,

This review is from: Heart Quest (Celta's HeartMates, Book 5) (Mass Market Paperback)
I look for books that catch me from the first page and this is one of two that I have found in the last 6 weeks. The other is LOVER AWAKENED by J R Ward. HEART QUEST is the story of Black Ilex Winterberry and Trif Clover. They were minor characters in the other Celta novels. I love Celta and these stories are some of my best keepers. I noticed a reviewer wished she wrote faster and I have been guilty of wishing the same thing, however some of my favorite authors are so busy writing more books and more series, they have stopped being the enjoyable reads I expect from them. So I guess I would rather wait and get quality over quantity.
Ilex Winterberry is a Guardsman. He has been assigned to the Noble houses of Celta. Now he is looking for a murderer who specializes in Nobles with unstable Flair psi. He is 45 and he thinks he is to old for his Heartmate. He knows that Trif Clover is his Heartmate, but she is only 20. He also has a touch of precognition and has known for yrs he will die early. So he doesn't want to bond with her and have her die when he dies. Ilex is a virle handsome man and Trif is a beautiful young lady. Where there is a Heartmate there is also attraction. Trif has been looking for her Heartmate. She has made a heartkey charm which should help her. Working in her family's furniture shop is not what she wants to do with her life. She is an amazing musician and plays her own compositions on the flute, and several other instruments. But she is not so confident that she will approach Passiflora Holm who is the premire composer on Celta. Trif also has unstable Flair psi. She hopes that when she finds her Heartmate her Flair will become stable. The murderers are taking the hearts from their victims and consuming them to assimilate their flair. Ilex is close on their heels and as Samhain approaches he worries for the safety of Trif. Trif and Ilex are brought togather by some interfereing friends. I love it. Any time I can journey to Celta and spend time with some old and new friends, it is a pleasure. While I enjoy stories about the Nobility, any Heartmate story is good.

This review is from: Heart Quest (Celta's HeartMates, Book 5) (Mass Market Paperback)
Guardsman Black Ilex Winterberry wants desperately to find the killer who is murdering those individuals with unstable Flair. He is not fearful for his HeartMate, Trif Clover, until she obtains a Fam, a kitten named Greyku, making her fit the profile of the victims. Unfortunately, Trif doesn't know Ilex is her HeartMate as he has hidden this from her. Ilex has envisioned his death and knows that it is soon. He doesn't want Trif to die along with him, and thus is trying to protect her. Ilex doesn't count on the power of love, however, and soon he finds himself in a desperate race against time!
HEART QUEST is the fifth book in a series about HeartMates. This book can be read as a stand alone novel as this reviewer had not previously read the other books and was easily able to understand the ongoing threads that are in the series. Robin D. Owens has crafted a very complex world in which humans and animals interact together to enhance their psi powers. Greyku steals the show! Her desire to explore everything and to be the center of attention will resonate with cat lovers everywhere. Robin D. Owens' depiction of her character and voice is perfect. If your kitten could talk, she would sound just like Greyku! The scenes involving Greyku's desire to be tinted are particularly clever and will leave the reader laughing out loud at the antics of Greyku. HEART QUEST is a magical fantasy tale that subtlety draws the readers into the storyline. The concept of HeartMates will enchant romance lovers while the clever world building will appeal to fantasy lovers. Hopefully, HEART QUEST is not the last of this delightful and charming series.

This review is from: Heart Quest (Celta's HeartMates, Book 5) (Mass Market Paperback)
Robin Owens continues her wonderful science fiction series about a race of people set on a planet where ESP and talking pets are common. The story centers around a young beautiful woman who knows she has a heartmate somewhere and goes about trying to locate her mate with the help of a bespelled key. A much older man knows he is her mate but believes he does not have much longer to live and since heartmates do not continue living when their mate dies he is determined to make sure she never knows she is his mate. He is also determined to protect her from a serial killer who is stalking people like her who have difficulty controling their "flair" (psychic energy).
The story also contains characters from previous books and lets you know what is going on it their lives. I especially get a kick out of the Fam Pets especially Fam Cats. They are cats with a healthy dose of self esteem who are psychic and can talk to their owners mentally. Although it is hard to tell if the people own the cats or the cats own the people. Her books are original and very entertaining. I recommend you start with "Heartmate" and continue with the whole series.
