Embrace the Wind

WesternWind #6.5

by Charlotte Boyett-Compo

Reaper Eanan Tohre had no idea why he had been ordered before the Gatekeepers of the Citadel. He knew nothing of the three beautiful women or for what possible reason they could have summoned him. Commanded to sit still and be quiet in their presence, the deadly warrior squirmed as their sensual eyes roamed over him. Those knowing gazes setting his black blood pumping hard in his veins. And that wasn't all that was turning hard with the Reaper. As he stared back at the Gatekeepers, he began to feel a hot, searing lust that was slowly building into an inferno of desire. When they told him to strip for them or be stripped, the Reaper had no choice but to obey.

Reviews

[Eva Millien · Rating 4 out of 5]

Reaper Eanan Tohre has no idea why he’s been ordered before the Gatekeepers of the Citadel and while he’s trying to follow orders a searing lust is slowly building into an inferno of desire in this sizzling paranormal romance.

This Reaper story is one hot romance as Eanon discovers that he’s the chosen one with lots of steamy passion and red hot sex scenes as he’s shared between not two but three women who all want different forms of sexual stimulation and due to who the Gatekeepers are there’s quite a bit of tension and emotional turmoil to go along with their orders. The characters are strong, compelling and grab the reader’s attention while the well written, fast paced and smooth flowing plot scorches readers with lots of suspense and passion.

The story is really too short to do Eanon’s romance justice in my eyes but it was a delightfully sensual read that is a step away from the norm of the Reaper’s romances which adds spice to the series.

Life is not easy when you are a Reaper sworn to protect all life. It is also definitely an added challenge when you are mated and married, trying to keep your wife happy and pleased while protecting the rest of the world at the same time from rogues and the like. What more when you are destined to mate and marry not one woman but three?...
