by Rae Lori

Book Continue the journey that will test one manÕs devotion for the woman he loves in Moments in ForeverÉ The freedom of working on location along CaliforniaÕs Northern coastline in the idyllic town of Ferndale is over. Daniel is left with RachelÕs words of love, but he faces the future without a promise of happiness. The woman he loves still belongs to another man, yet, he cannot walk away. He is left to wait, living only on the hope that Rachel will leave the man who stands between them. No matter how deeply in love Rachel is with movie star Daniel Hunter, the scared marriage vows she exchanged with Victor force her back to her husband. Torn away from the closeness of adjoining rooms and coffee by the fire, her time with Daniel is now fleeting. However, with the man she loves, Rachel begins to test the limits of her cage, while keeping a secret that could change everything.

What a bargain for free and a great new author find. I enjoyed this novel so much that I have purchased the first book in the Ashen Twilight series. I enjoyed the world building in this one and appreciated it had some innovative ideas and concepts. This novel has tragedy (which doesn't overwhelm or dominate the tale), romance, deception and intrigue. A great first and promising work from this author.

Slightly interesting story, but no sequels seem to be available on Amazon so I guess I won’t be continuing.

At twenty-three, Raven Blackheart has finally made it to college after taking several years off once finishing the dregs of high school. Almost failing a class she should excel in, her teacher says she needs to manage her time better, but how do you manage time you don’t have?...

For the entire review please go to the Best Paranormal & Urban Fantasy Review site on the web, Bitten By Books for the review of Cimmerian City in it's entirety. You won't be sorry.

It was ok, but I felt the author was trying to hard to make the main character important and stuff. If the people who need the main character apparently are so powerful and amazing then why is the main character needed? I got about almost half way through the book. The book just was not to my liking. Advanced copy from netgally.

Left a review on Amazon but I technically gave it 3.5 stars. It got good towards the end.
