The Necklace of Goddess Athena: A New Adult supernatural mystery by Effrosyni Moschoudi is a fascinating story of time travel. Ksenia and her twelve-year-old brother, Manos, lost their parents eleven years ago. Phevos lives in ancient Athens with his sister, Daphne, and eleven years ago his mother had disappeared. One day Phevos and Daphne's father places Athena's necklace around his neck and he and his sister are caught in a vortex and spin away. Disoriented, they are dropped into a different location and era. Following the barking of their dog, Ksenia and Manos discover the two travelers in their orchard. Although Phevos is stunned from the fall, he manages to explain that he and his sister Daphne were traveling and had gotten lost. Uncharacteristically, Ksenia accepts this and gives them a place to stay. When they discover that they have their parents' disappearances in common, together the young people begin searching through time and find help from an unexpected source. Will they be able to reunite their families, even though time and place separate them?
The Necklace of Goddess Athena: A New Adult Supernatural Mystery by Effrosyni Moschoudi is an intriguing fantasy epic similar to the Percy Jackson books. It is an excellent time-travel story, blending mythology and the present together. At first, I was slightly surprised at how Athena was portrayed. However, as the story progresses she becomes the goddess that I believed her to be. Also, I was impressed with how the author combined the two eras. I thought the way that Phevos' father introduced him and Daphne to present day living was clever. Because of their prior lessons, they didn't really have trouble adjusting to another time period. This book is a stunning masterpiece. Although this isn't the normal genre that I read, I have to say that it is so well-written that I couldn't put it down. It is a memorable story and I am so glad that I had the opportunity to read and review it. This is an amazing New Adult mystery that I highly recommend to those who have a penchant for time-travel.

Dragon Knight's Ring by Mary Morgan is Book 5 in the Order of the Dragon Knights, a perfect blend of romance and fantasy. Adam MacFhearguis is a crusader and a man troubled by a past he’d do anything to forget. While on a quest to the standing stones in Scotland, a place he believes could assuage his fear and liberate him, he is transported into a future where his wife lives. Adam discovers a truth that could destroy his sanity. However, the only person who could help him reconcile the events of the past, Meggie, has no memories of her past and of how she died. It’s a new journey for two souls that once loved and lost each other, but can Adam unlock the secret door to Meggie’s memories and redeem a love that was lost many years ago?
Dragon Knight's Ring is a well-written story, well-imagined and executed. There is a lot of psychological tension to make the reader want to follow the story to the end. The mystery created around the love between Adam and Meggie is powerful and the theme of loss and redemption is well explored. The plot is fast-paced and it’s not without many surprises for the reader. At times the story reads like a spiritual journey of a broken man in search of healing in a love that was once his. I enjoyed the way the characters are developed. The encounter, in the future, between Adam and Meggie is dramatic and the reader immediately feels sympathy for the characters. Can Meggie believe everything he tells her? Could it be possible they were once lovers? Mary Morgan has created characters readers will care about and a story they will remember for a long time. Entertaining and beautifully told.

Must Remember by Colleen S. Myers is about Elizabeth ‘Beta’ Camden, a 19-year-old girl who was abducted by aliens, the E’mani. She was experimented on in the most excruciating ways, but she was waiting for the day when she would be able to break free and live her life the way she wanted to. When she does manage to escape those pale aliens, she falls in the hands of another alien race. The Fost and the E’mani are ancient enemies, and they both want something that Beta has. As time passes, she discovers that her body has changed. There are tattoos that hold a magic in them and that magic is developing in her body. But now she has the Fost and one particular alien on her side. They teach her their ways because the E’mani will be back to get her. And when they do, they will show no mercy.
WOW, if I didn’t know it already, I would never have known that this novel was Myers' first. Although alien abductions and interracial romance is not my cup of tea, this novel was a definite exception. The novel was good. It was fast paced (but, not too fast), had a developed plot line, and an amazing protagonist who makes you laugh. I don’t like girly-girl protagonists much, but again, Beta was different. She was smart, ready to change and ready to survive. She knew she had no option, but to survive and she did that exactly, albeit with the help of one hot alien. A really good novel that kept me entertained.

The Right to Bear Arms is the first book in the Wild Operatives series by Vivienne Savage. Before I begin, can I just say, OH MY GOD!! This was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. The story follows Daniela Reyes, a recently divorced woman, who is now living alone. She is finally away from her abusive husband, but just as her luck would have it, she finds a huge black bear sleeping in her hammock. Little did she know that this bear was going to change her life, but for good or for bad? She feeds the beast and soon he comes back to her every single day. They begin an unlikely friendship that turns to something more when she finds out that her bear is actually a man.
Russell Hawkins is a were-bear. He likes to live his life alone with his dog in the woods, but when he encounters Daniela, he cannot help himself. She needs protection from her abusive ex-husband and he likes her a little too much. Soon, he wants more than just friendship, but with her ex-husband looming around the corner as a threat, can they stay together? Or will the past get the better of them?
WOW, this was one super novel. I absolutely loved it. Russell is such an amazing man; he was kind, generous and supportive, and protected Daniela with all his might. The fact that he is hot is a bonus as well. This literal bear of a man is everything we all wish and dream for. I found myself sighing on occasion too. Plus, Savage let the story build and let their relationship take its course before she took their relationship to something more. I really liked that.

Susan Griscom has created a great supernatural romance in A Gypsy's Kiss (The Sectorium Series Book 1). The main characters are well developed, especially Breena as she struggles to cope with her 'gift.' She is resourceful, though, and knows how to handle herself. Hawk is a good match for her and the chemistry between them is great. The plot line for both of them is a novel way to keep the two of them apart and ramp up the tension. There are a lot of similar books on the market, but I think this book will do very well because it is easy to get into and the characters are relatable. A good start to the series, and I look forward to reading more from this author.

In Dragon Knight's Shield, Mary Morgan writes a captivating tale about Angus MacKay and Deirdre Flanagan, two lovers who travel through the veil of time to be together. Angus, a Highlander once belonging to the Order of the Dragon Knights, must begin his quest for redemption. Believing that his sins are great and that redemption will not be his, he encounters Deirdre, a modern day warrior. Deirdre finds it hard to believe that she has ended up in medieval Scotland, but with the handsome Highlander stealing her heart can she go back home or will she stay with him? Together can these two venture forth to stop the evil that is trying to take over Scotland, and restore the Order?
Mary Morgan has completely taken me by surprise with this book. Upon discovering this book, I felt it was necessary to read the previous three books, although this one can be a stand alone read. The development of her writing is greatly appreciated as it shows her wonderful skills as a writer who knows what her audience wants. The dialogue conveys each character's personality clearly and also shows the author's humorous personality.
The plot of the story is engaging and will have readers eagerly turning the pages for more. It is a mixture of historical romance with the supernatural, creating an exciting adventure. There were elements of sword fighting and magic, giving the reader the added bonus of adventure and action on top of the romance. Mary Morgan weaves an interesting tale and I cannot wait for the next installment of the series to appear on the bookshelves.

Laird Galen Graham stumbles upon an injured woman who needs care and protection, but she cannot speak. He tries to find out who she is, but finds himself falling in love with her instead. Legend of the Fae (The Dark Fae Saga Book 1) written by April Holthaus is a unique story based on centuries-old tales passed down through the people of the Scottish Highlands. These stories were told about the Fae, better known to a reading audience today as the Fairies. Some tales of the Fae are told of them being evil, some of them being mystical creatures of good; this story, however, tells a tale of both good and evil Fae, magic, love, danger and mystery.
Author April Holthaus writes a plot of wonderful creativity with adventure, romance, and folktales. A reader has not a spare moment to ponder what will happen next as the suspense will keep them turning pages to find out. The story has different transitional plot settings from childhood friendship scenes, to the customs and responsibilities of a Scottish Laird, and a much talked about battle of good and evil, only portrayed with the culture of the Fae.
Not only is this story entertaining, but it is also resourceful and educational. For example, a reader can learn about a few Scottish customs, life style habits, and way of living in the 1400s, as well as learn a version of the origin of a commonly loved folk tale character, a fairy, or in this case, a Fae. Being an avid reader of Scottish romance books, as well as the romance/science fiction genre, I absolutely enjoyed this book very much and look forward to any future works from this author.

How can a spoiled French princess and a young peasant save a world inhabited by beings of myth and legend? That is the basis of Shield of the Palidine by Barbara T. Cerny. Beginning in France in the early 1600s, the tale brings seven-year-old Pierre into possession of an unusual necklace that he and his friend Guy use as the basis of all their childhood adventures. When financial hardship causes Pierre to try to sell the necklace, he and Guy meet the chubby self-serving Princess Elise, niece to the King of France. As Pierre clasps the necklace around Elise’s neck, they are both transported to a magical land – the home of creatures of Greek myth and other ancient legends that have sought refuge away from the hatred of man. Unable to stand up to the threat of destruction at the hands of the evil Asmodai as individual races, these inhabitants of the land of Amorgos look to Elise and Pierre as the fulfillment of the prophecies that tell of The Redeemer and her Consort who will come to lead them to victory. In spite of lengthy training, powerful mentors, and the possession of magic armor and weapons, will two humans live through a real life adventure and be able to defeat evil that has grown for over 2,000 years? Will all the different races agree to follow them?
Tremendous action, historical references and fantastic imagination combine in Shield of the Palidine by Barbara T. Cerny to create an excellent story of hope, dedication, loss and love. An incredible number of well-developed characters, both historical and mythical, take part in several quests to find the tools mentioned by the prophecies to aid in the final battle. Elise and Pierre try to bring the quarrelsome races together in order to lead them into an epic battle that will determine the fate of Amorgos. This story is full of emotion and clearly follows the growth in maturity of the young French princess and the peasant she thinks is beneath her. It is an outstanding book for fantasy readers of all ages.

Addison, as Regent, is in charge of discovering just what is going on in his area, and with the help of his Guardians as well as a local half-dryad named Saraia, he’s hoping to do so before another person ends up dead, human or not. There is evil corrupting Manhattan and it’s infecting the many creatures who live there.

Sydney also discovers that Noella was a bounty hunter sent to kill her, but they have patched it up and are now set on protecting each other. Everything is going fine until they learn that another threat is coming to Earth to destroy them.
On top of that, Sydney is turning into Supernova. With emotions running high and the feelings their love evoked, Sydney has a lot on her plate.

I simply loved the relationship between Sydney and William. I wish men like William were real. He was protective without being smothering, giving Sydney room to come to terms with her changing body and powers, and simply loving her. They were a team and almost a family with their friends around them. The climax was so good, I was literally trembling. Five shining GOLD stars!

I was super excited to read Supernova. Protostar was the best novel I read in 2011 and I was waiting to see if there would be another novel in the series. You can imagine my level of excitement when I got to read Supernova. I was happy to discover that the thrill was still there and so was the love that readers were promised. I simply loved the relationship between Sydney and William. I wish men like William were real. He was protective without being smothering, giving Sydney room to come to terms with her changing body and powers, and simply loving her. They were a team and almost a family with their friends around them. The climax was so good, I was literally trembling. Five shining GOLD stars!
