This isn't the type of book I usually go for. If my mother hadn't given it to me I'd never have read it. I'm not a fan of paranormal romance or romance in general and I tend to stay away from books with people on the cover especially buff men. That being said, I really enjoyed Heart Change. It's ...
Unsurprisingly, these are a bit formulaic at this point. Characters are Heartmates, which one knows and one doesn't, at least one of them doesn't want a relationship of that magnitude. This had a point of difference in that neither character wanted a Heartmate bonding. Owens threw in a few things...
I still really like the overall worldbuilding of this series, but am minorly frustrated by the way the non-romance plot arcs are subordinate to the romance arc to the point of non-resolution. I was really hoping for a less off-hand resolution to the Healing Hall plot than was given.(Also, excuses...
4/5; 4 stars; A-This anthology contains four short stories/novellas set in the same world as the Celta series. I can't judge how it would appeal to someone not familiar with the series because I've read all the books and found this anthology to be a perfect accompaniment. I enjoy the insights ...
A good addition to one of my favorite romance series, but not my favorite book in the series for sure. I really took a while to warm up to Jace & while I finished the book liking him well enough, I wished he made more obvious progress in dealing with his issues & actually admitted his faults and ...

Reads like bad fanfic.When I read the summary for this, I was intrigued by a premise that had previously been used by Modesitt in "The Soprano Sorceress," bringing a woman from our world into a magical one where she suddenly finds herself in possession of great power. Unfortunately, Ms. Owens is ...

Barton said. "How?" Enata asked. "Teleportation." She didn't think he could teleport and she didn't know the light or the space where they'd need to land at Clover Compound. "You do want to go to—" "Our house in Clover Compou...
“Here. One moment.” Her very voice sent ripples of sensation through T’Ash, causing a deep yearning and quick arousal. Her face loomed over the bowl, showing half-closed brownish-green eyes, a high-necked, faded, and rumpled yellow commoncloth cotton nightshirt, and tumbled chestnut hair. Her pin...
He couldn’t take the man down and that was solely because the dude was awesome with a damn cane. At least he didn’t go down himself and was sweating less in his shirt sleeves—ungartered—than the instructor. Pretty much a draw. Mr. Laverstock pulled ...

Laurentine’s home office and blinked. It was about three times the size of her room upstairs, and held a massive wooden desk with marble inlays. The wall behind him consisted of tall bookshelves, nicely filled, and a wide sliding glass door that led to a terrace. The other walls had pale brown wa...
The dream started soft and mistily and wonderfully, as if all around her was an impressionistic picture painted with joyful brush strokes. Just as the past morning had begun, but now dread was in her heart, in every droplet of blood. Aric’s lazy voice said, “Stay with me.” As she looked at him, r...

work. One wall held a thick corkboard with a mounted map of metro Denver. She’d outlined in red the bad zones thick with ghosts—where she couldn’t drive. She’d also stuck golden pins, only four, of ghosts she’d helped transition, and none of those had been major projects, just phantoms she’d move...
Dak would have to deal with the cats. He could handle anything they could dish out, but he didn't want them ganging up on Favel. They could do some damage to the baby, take his eyes, or a finger or two, a toe. The child would regrow them, but the trauma at so young an age could ...
His brother, Holm, stood in the center of the chamber, arm around his wife. Their parents were behind them, holding hands. Beside them was GreatLord Vinni T’Vine, the young prophet. All of the Family who worked in the Residence, on the estate, or even hired out as guards for other Nobles in Druid...
She didn’t know one. She leveled the knife, silk tube and all, and charged at the thing, speared it on one of its frayed edges. Darn it, she must do better! HURT! Hurts! What is this? Ghost . . . layer . . . ghost . . . killer. NO! It whirled to her, the mass hit her, the ...
