I’m used to saving myself, and my new life in immortal lands isn’t going to be easy.I mean, I do cause a little trouble… I may have put a taco in one of the brother’s boots. But that’s small potatoes compared to the magical freaking bubble I end up in – which I wholeheartedly blame Chaos for. It might be invisible but it is very real to me. I’m trapped within a pretty tight perimeter of at least one of the brothers, and if he leaves the room and I’m not right behind him I will literally be crushed to death against the wall. So we’d better get used to working with each other, and living, and showering. Everything! Privacy doesn’t exist anymore.There’s more going on here. With me, with them, with the world we all reside in. Their kingdom is on the brink of destruction. No one can be trusted, and we only have each other. Can the four immortal alpha males drop their guard long enough to see what’s right in front of them? This is a full-length, slow-burn reverse harem filled with humor, crazy antics, and excitement as Shade and her men fight overwhelming odds to find a way to be together. HEA guaranteed...but they're going to have to work for it.Reviewers are saying fans of Tamora Pierce, Maria V Snyder, Jaymin Eve, Jane Washington, Tate James, and Auryn Hadley will love these books. ⚠ Warning: laugh out loud funny and potential drink snorting. ⚠ less

Killian is seeded with a power and hunger that makes him a threat to others, but his dangerous darkness is inexplicably drawn to Shade despite the risks.  With all the other threats they need to overcome, will the brothers be able to withstand the temptation of a simple mortal girl?

The Elorsins are elite warriors: a powerful alpha, a weapons-obsessed shadow manipulator, a sexy nerd with too many skeletons under his bed, and chaos personified. Surely they can handle kidnapping (I mean rescuing) one mortal woman with zero self-control from her cruel master, right? Wrong. Horribly, completely wrong. One misfired prank later and the pentad is magically bonded together... moreThe Elorsins are elite warriors: a powerful alpha, a weapons-obsessed shadow manipulator, a sexy nerd with too many skeletons under his bed, and chaos personified. Surely they can handle kidnapping (I mean rescuing) one mortal woman with zero self-control from her cruel master, right? Wrong. Horribly, completely wrong. One misfired prank later and the pentad is magically bonded together. With Shade stuck at their side, the Elorsins have to defeat the murderer who currently rules over their kingdom, figure out how to free Shade without killing her in the process, and learn how to survive when the newest member of their team is opening old wounds and getting much too close for comfort. This is a slowburn fantasy series where Shade will develop her relationships with all of the Elorsins. Box set one contains books one to three as well as reimagined and forbidden bonus scenes. While book one is single POV, two & three have dual POVs. less

They’re pushing shit uphill in their efforts to get the support of the dignitaries and a sealer to return with them – but their biggest problem is a plot they’re not even aware of yet.Read AFTER The True Histories.Steam level Warning ~ There are no fade to blacks, so ladies prepare to swoon or glow red and skip a few pages, whichever is your style.Alphahole warning ~ Pax has to learn not to be an Alphahole in this book, so expect some Alphaholing for the first act. Trigger Warning ~ This book features an attack and attempted rape followed by the graphic… ah… killing, destroying, and annihilating of the attackers. The attempted rape has a ***** marker before and after, but the violence does not.Cliffhanger warning ~ Because Power & Pentad is a two-part book due to its size, there **will** be a cliffhanger. less

♥ Power & Pentad Part-Two promises the reuniting of our beloved harem, the introduction of long-awaited key players in the battle to win this war, Shade finding her Alpha voice and Pax learning to trust mortals (well, a select few mortals) as well as a bubble bath scene, shower scene, and the beginning of answers to so many of the questions we've all been waiting for (though not all of them)... more♥ Power & Pentad Part-Two promises the reuniting of our beloved harem, the introduction of long-awaited key players in the battle to win this war, Shade finding her Alpha voice and Pax learning to trust mortals (well, a select few mortals) as well as a bubble bath scene, shower scene, and the beginning of answers to so many of the questions we've all been waiting for (though not all of them). ♥** The following contains spoilers from books 1-5 **We ended Kitten and Allure with the big split up, Killian, Roarke and Seth headed for the White Castle and the promise that Jada will secure them seals and the ability to ride straight back out. Allow them to rescue Pax and Thane from having their soul ripped out. We all knew that would go bad – didn’t we?The guys ended up having to plead their case to the White Castle Dignitaries, which left them stuck at the castle and drove them to the Veil mirror and a snippet of the moment Shade was attacked. Followed by three Elorsin’s rampaging through the castle – and I mean through. Right through the damned walls.Until they were reprimanded into the cells, where Lithael decided to have a friendly chat about Shade’s existence. That guy sure is wary of the concept of a mortal being important to anyone. I mean, if he actually wanted to just hurt the Elorsins wouldn’t he kill the mortal, then see their reaction, and if she means nothing to them shrug it off and go on his merry way? Why be so suspicious and so determined for information and yet not want to kill her?At least, not yet.As far as Pax, Thane and Shade go, they’ve just left Hirana on their way, under Shade’s less than ideal directional sense, toward the White Castle. Which means they’re on a more direct path toward the Manor – because that’s the best landmark she has.On that end of the map we have a newly revealed wolf to contend with, and we all know how stubborn they can be, a potion-tampered quill that no one is answering the messages of, a Null Elixir procured from under Eydis’ cottage still to be put to use, and a mage named Leon looking for them.♥ Are you ready for this? ♥ less
