Marly Chance (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 25, 2008

Twenty-nine-year-old Kate is happily single and thoroughly independent. She thinks men are pretty much like expensive stockings...sexy when you first try them on, but apt to run like hell at the first snag. From bedroom to boardroom she's never met a man she couldn't handle. Tair will be no exception. She'll walk away smiling after two fun filled weeks of sex... Tair is a psychic warrior cop who's used to winning at whatever game he plays. He knows Kate's deepest fantasies. He knows what it will take to seduce her. And he knows this particular game is the most important one he'll ever play. "Definitely not to be missed." - Michelle Gann, The Word on Romance "This is the second book in Marly Chance's Oath series and I highly recommend both. This was a fun read from the beginning and I couldn't put it down." - Laura Lane for Sensual Romance

I know I appreciate reviews that let me know what to expect without ruining the story, so I hope this is helpful to some readers...

This is a very erotic love story that's graphic, but without too much over-the-top NC-17 stuff. In other words, no public, same sex or group encounters(other than one scene with just a *hint* of a menage).

If you are like me and want it Burning HOT, but without the above-mentioned situations, this is for you!!

This review is from: Oath of Challenge - Conquering Kate (Paperback)

This is a very good follow up to Oath of Seduction, the first of the Oath series by Marly Chance.

For those of you have read 'Seduction', you might remember the willful and lovable Kate. I really remember her, and I remember liking her very much.

Kate didn't know when she first met Tair at the joining of her best friend, Sharon and his brother in the story of 'Seduction', that he was planning to claim her. LOL...when she is 'served' with papers stating she must report to the 'claming' center she is ready to crack some skulls. As a high powered lawyer, she isn't scared. So, she chooses what any woman of her ilk would chose...Challenge.

Tair and Kate are exciting, and their romance is hot. As with 'Seduction' there are many aspects of her relationship with Tair that must be worked out. Plus, Kate has her own insecurities.

Seriously, this is a good book, and wonderful follow up to 'Seduction'. Though, you could read this as a stand alone, it would help to read Oath of Seduction first. The ritual of the claiming is explained properly, so you won't be lost as to what it means. And, the author leaves you sufficiently hanging with the next story of the Oath series. I have been waiting on pins and needles to read this story for a while.

Overall, this is a very good book.

This review is from: Oath of Challenge - Conquering Kate (Paperback)

by Shadoe Simmons

Conquering Kate. Can Tair da'Kamon do it? Can he meet the Challenge Oath she has chosen, and convince her to allow him to take her as he deems it his right to have her?

Can Kate actually challenge this tall, fierce warrior and expect to walk away unscathed, her body not craving his to the point that nothing else will matter but his touch, and the tempestuous union of their bodies?

She's sure she can. She's tough, and smart, a barracuda lawyer with a shark attack attitude that she's certain will leave the arrogant warrior standing in amazed confusion.

But Kate hadn't counted on Tairs own arrogance, or the sensual delights to be found in his arms, and in his bed. The Oath of Challenge has given Tair the right to tempt her, in whatever sexual manner he chooses. To find her greatest sexual fantasies, which isn't hard for a psychic such as himself, and to fulfill them to the furthest degree.

And Tair will do just that. He will give Kate what no other man has been able to. Her hottest fantasies, her most erotic dreams will no longer be her private property. They are now, at the sole discretion of her pact mate, open for fulfillment. And there is no other man better able to fulfill them.

Ms. Chance has done it again. Though you would think the tone of the story would be similar to that of the first novel of this series, you find that just the opposite is true. In Oath of Challenge, the heroine does not give in willingly to the sexual temptations of her pact mate. She will tempt him instead. Draw him to the point of gasping, desperate need as she revels in his touch, and the sensual satisfactions to be found in him, yet refuses the ultimate union. Her challenge. He can touch her however he pleases, bring her to satisfaction in a million different ways, but she will withhold that final, needed conclusion. For if she loses, she has no choice. She will then be his pledge mate, bound to him for all time, unable to return to the life she has been taken from.

But Tair is not a man who will be easily beaten. He knows the secrets of her body, the fantasies that fire her blood, and he will not play fair.

Oath of Challenge has exceeded my expectations of this second book, and flung my preconceived notions out the door. Tair is just as determined as Kate, and when these two touch, sparks fly, flames erupt, and the sensual explosions fill the air with heated moans and desperate cries.

Turn on the A/C, and prepare yourself for an erotic adventure unlike any other. Oath of Challenge is a book you won't just read, but will come back to again and again for the sheer pleasure of the heat that emanates from the pages, and the fulfilling fantasy of man willing to meet any challenge, and to triumph in the face of a pride which is not match for the erotic needs he inspires.
