This review is from: Rayven's Awakening (CD-ROM)
The review in the Romantic Times Book Club magazine had me a little leary of buying this book. The reviewer is way off base. Although the story does start a little slow. The rest of the book makes up for it.
Rayven was placed on Earth to keep her safe from the evil empire that tried to destory her people. She is the daughter to the ruling family of the The Aware. a magical and wonderous people. She has always been different. When the forces of the evil empire burn her fosters parents home they place the blame on her. She runs to save herself with the help of a Black Hawk. When she is finally capture by the empire, she finds a way to escape and the Black Hawk guides her to what remains of her people. She must run the full extent of her power as she is their savior.
Draco was the advisor to the King of the Aware. He secrets Rayven away on Earth and waits to bring her to her people. He has rule the Aware since the destruction of their world. He is Rayven soul mate.
They come together to reunite all the Aware and start and new dynasty.

Timeless Tales Review, September 14, 2002
This review is from: Rayven's Awakening (CD-ROM)
By TT reviewer Brenda Gill [full review on our website]
Rayven has always been different from the people around her. She is an orphan and has always been overlooked by the couples who want to adopt a child. Her differences make the prospective parents uneasy. She is a child prodigy, a genius. She scores higher on standardized IQ tests than any other person tested before. She has eyes of an unusual gold color that seem to look right though a person. Her differences make her a loner.
He comes to her in the guise of a giant black hawk, and warns her of danger. Rayven thinks it was a dream until she realizes her foster parent's house was on fire. She is the only one to survive the fire. Rayven is surprised when, a few days later, she is arrested and charged with arson and the murder of her foster parents. She manages to escape and stays on the run for 13 long years. Rayven is captured and taken to the planet, Varood, where she is questioned by General Karis. She learns that she is the last of her race, the Aware. She was sent to Earth by her parents to escape the massacre that killed most of her kind. The Aware are a race with strange and frightening powers, and those in the Galactic are afraid of them, so they tried to exterminate them.
Rayven escapes with the help of a giant black hawk, the same one she thought she saw in her dream so many years before. She learns the hawk is really a man named Draco. He takes her though a dimensional doorway to the planet Hostes, where she meets the last remnant of her race. There she will test the extent of her powers and abilities to help save the last of her kind. As Rayven awakes to the power of passion, she has to save the people depending on her and come to terms with the feelings she has for the strange and sensuous man, Draco.
Rayven's Awakening is an exciting blend of science fiction, fantasy, and romantica. Ms. King has combined the different genres into a fast-paced, smoothly written tale. The love scenes are like molten lava, they're so hot, but they advance the story. They aren't put on the page to arouse and titillate, but to show the reader the deep love and greater passion Rayven and Draco have for each other. This book is going on my "keeper shelf" to be read again and again.

What a HOT ebook!, September 25, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Rayven's Awakening (CD-ROM)
I picked this on up on a lark at ellorascave.com. Sherri L. King has to be one of the HOTTEST new e-book authors to hit the web! I can't believe she isn't in print! (or is she???) This is a steamy erotic tale that leaves you wanting to read more and more until you realize you've been sitting there for hours! I was late to work the next morning because I stayed up most of the night reading this. I couldn't put it down! I thought about it all day and then when I got home I read it again!
And don't let me get started with those men! Let just say my husband is very happy I bought this e-book ;)
I hope she plans to write more in this series. Sherri L. King creates an indepth and beautiful world and I hope to see more of it!
