Product Description

TORN BETWEEN...


Alexandrine Marit is a witch in mortal danger. An evil mage craves the powerful, mysterious talisman that supplies her magic, and the only person who can keep her safe is a dark and dangerous fiend called Xia. With his fierce animosity toward witches, he's hardly the ideal bodyguard. Yet as days turn into nights, she can't deny the white-hot passion between them.


DESIRE AND TEMPTATION


Xia hates witches. They enslave and mercilessly kill his kind. But he's been ordered to protect Alexandrine, who, to his surprise, has a spirit he admires and a body he longs to possess. With the mage and his henchmen closing in, Alexandrine and her protector must trust the passion that can unite them...or risk losing everything to the enemies who can destroy them both.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are intrigued by the paranormal, or looking for some sizzling romance, I highly recommend reading this book!, May 28, 2009
Alexandrine Marit was adopted as a young child, so she had noone to ask questions about her premonitions, which were always true. As an adult, she found a group of people who had similar magical powers, and they researched to find out more about their world and other magekind like them. What they found led Alexandrine on a journey to find her birth father, where she is given an amulet by a woman who claims that it was her father's. Alexandrine finds that she doesn't want to take the amulet off, that she feels weaker if she even trys, and her magic seems to be stronger with it on. News of her possession of this powerful artifact starts to draw many unsavory creatures to her who absolutely will try to kill her to gain the powerful talisman. The one who is trying to protect her may be the one that she has to watch out for. Xia is tall, dark, incredibly dangerous, and totally her type, aside from the fact that he is a powerful demon that hates witches.

My Forbidden Desire is an exciting book about a witch in a world like the one we live in. She is strong and very likable, and it is interesting to observe how she reacts when she finds out that all of the stories she has read about witches, mages, and demons are true. Xia, the dangerous bad boy on his motorcycle is thrilling, and the desire that draws the two of them together sends sparks flying. If you are intrigued by the paranormal, or looking for some sizzling romance, I highly recommend reading this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Words for this book...Sizzling Hot!, June 23, 2009
By M. K. Hoelscher (Wapakoneta, OH) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is hot! hot! hot! This book just plain sizzles and is fun to read. First of all the cover is great ( I'm a total sucker for good covers), and then book is non-stop action from beginning to end with a lot of romance thrown into the mix. Who knew inter-species romances could be so good?

The characters are great in this book and the romance sizzles without being gratuitous. The story keeps moving and with every page there is another twist and turn that will make it difficult for the reader to put the book down. Whether you're a paranormal romance fan or not, this is just a fun book and one that you won't be able to put down once you start it.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Forbidden Desire, October 27, 2009
Alexandrine Marit is a witch with a problem. She has received a very powerful talisman and has now come to the attention of a powerful and power hungry mage, who will do anything possible to gave that talisman. Too bad she isn't that strong of a witch or she might be able to figure out how to make it work. Alexandrine finds out she is on a mage's hit list when she gets a visit from a person she thought was dead and gains a sexy bodyguard - one who doesn't like witches.

Xia is a fiend who was convinced to watch and keep Alexandrine safe and alive. It would be much easier to be in her company if she wasn't a witch, because Xia would guard her from the inside out in any other circumstances. Just when Xia and Alexandrine are meeting he finds out yet another reason why he would rather not be her bodyguard, however he did give his word and you don't break promises to his boss.

Alexandrine and Xia want nothing to do with each other, but it quickly becomes apparent that his mission is a deadly one when they are attacked with the intent to kill. This is just the beginning of an adventure that will pit Alexandrine and Xia against fiends, mageheld old friends and a very deadly mage who has a personal stake in both of them. Only trust is going to get them through all the attempts to kill or capture them and let them defeat those who want Alexandrine and Xia dead or worse. Trust would be easier if they could find a way to get past the bone deep attraction they instantly had for each other or maybe they just need to find a way to use that attraction.

My Forbidden Desire is one exciting roller coaster ride when Alexandrine and Xia have to find a way to defeat a deadly and powerful mage. Alexandrine has made her way through life since her immediate family has died only to find that maybe she is wrong about that fact. Xia has serious grudges against witches and once he finds out all the facts about Alexandrine, saving her from death or a fate worse than that is not on his top ten list. I'm not sure which set of fireworks was better - the erotic ones between Alexandrine and Xia as they try to find a way to deal with the serious attraction between them or the action packed ones that came when they had to fight for their lives. Fiends are either free or mageheld by witches in their world, which I found affected both the fiends and witches in various ways. There were so many unexpected turns, that I was caught up in what would happen next and to whom. I would have never guessed on the final twist at the end, but wow did it ever set up for even more explosive books in this world. My Forbidden Desire is action with serious erotic parts from the beginning to the end that will keep you invested until the last page is turned.
