Review by Pearls
As a huge fan of Sharon Hamilton's SEAL's books, I was excited to see her branch into a new genre. Sharon Hamilton has completely rocked the Underworld. From coup d'états to military extractions, she brings light vs. dark witchcraft, double-crossing fallen angels, and the perversion of revenge. To this mix she brings her brand of steamy eroticism. This book provides enough foils to keep the literary side of me involved, between earth and underground, between guardian and fallen angle, between Audray and Catarina's brand of family justice, between the human love of the professor and his witch and the immortal love of the director and her paramour, between the marriage of Claire and Daniel and that of Rupert and Catarina. Between a forever love of souls and a physical lusting of desires. The book engrossed me as much was hanging in the balance waiting to see how it would all fall out. The only part I didn't like was secondary character Josh's side story, who felt like a place holder to advance the plot.
Excerpt:
Audray loved being
the first-ever woman Director of the Underworld, but she preferred the title
“Queen” even better. Jonas had begun calling her that and it became part of her
persona almost immediately.
Maybe it is the
way Jonas whispers it to me just before he takes me.
That word was
something she would never tire of hearing, just like the sounds her paramour
made as he pleasured her to distraction and beyond. And the best thing of all
was that he did it out of love, not obligation. His need to please her was
equal to her need to be ravished over and over again.
And worshiped as
only a queen should be.
Jonas was still
wearing his black leather vest, but was naked everywhere else that counted,
sleeping like a baby. She tucked her back into the warmth of his chest, feeling
tiny against him, and reveled at how safe and protected she felt. She’d never
had such a big man, big everywhere, but especially big in the way his soul
screamed for her. It took a lot to distract her from all the pleasures in the
Underworld, but being in bed with Jonas outshone them all.
When they’d gotten
back to her home in the human world, he’d barely caught the bike when she
jumped off. He saved it, of course, cursing softly, before it could tip and
fall into her blood red Maserati. Even hearing him curse gave her chills.
All afternoon she
had been touching him as they flew past rows of vineyards and redwood trees on
their way home, her breasts pressed against the back of his thick torso. Her
cheek rested in the place she smelled his maleness the strongest: at the back
of his neck, just under his hairline. She watched the light brown tendrils of
his shoulder length hair dusted with gray, catch fire in the late afternoon
sun, coaxing her to reach down and squeeze his package, making him swerve the
bike. But he was laughing, and she felt they didn’t have a care in the whole
world.
She had thought
she would enjoy the powerful Directorship more. Jonas had been an unexpected
distraction. Ever since their explosive first meeting, Audray felt her whole
world had changed.
