Just what I needed to read!

Kiziah's Reading: Cable Luske and Fane Mercier are a couple and are totally content with each other. There are just two problems. One, Fane is nearing his vampire Transformation, and it is frowned upon to take a mate of the same sex. Secondly, Cable's family is doing everything they can to keep the lovers apart, often resorting to kidnapping and caging Cable. After much agonizing and soul searching, Fane sends Cable to put in an order for a kadine, or vampire wife. Cable, thinking that Fane no longer loves and wants him, reluctantly sets out to do Fane's bidding. While Cable is gone, the Transformation comes upon Fane and he becomes a full-fledged vampire. Cable loves Fane deeply and doesn't want to lose him. He knows, however, that he doesn't have a choice in the matter... or does he? The decision is taken out of Cable's hands by fate when he sees beautiful, blond Kiziah after a tarot card reading at the carnival and then in a coffee shop all alone. As luck would have it, he is immensely attracted to Zia, as she is to him, and they end up making passionate love all night. The next morning, they make tentative plans to spend the day together but Cable can't leave things the way they are with Fane. He promises to return to her the next morning. However, plans change when Cable's family locks him up so that Fane is unable to reach him. There is only one person who can save him, and Fane goes in search of her. Kiziah Stillwell is so tired of being alone. When Cable asks to sit with her in the coffee shop, she decides to ignore the warnings in her head and just have fun. What she doesn't expect is to fall so deeply for Cable in so short of time. After their night of passionate, tender sex, Kiziah is surprised that Cable wants to spend more time with her. However, she knows that he will never be truly hers unless he and Fane come to grips with their relationship. With this in mind, she sends Cable home to his male lover. Kiziah is surprised later in the day to come face to face with Fane. He knows Kiziah is his only hope in freeing Cable. He enthralls and seduces Kiziah, beginning a bond with her. Fane then sends her to Cable's family's estate to find Cable. At this point, Cable has the proof he needs to be with both Kiziah and Fane forever. And this is when the real danger starts! Books like Kiziah's Reading epitomize the reasons why I continue to read books penned by Jory Strong. It was strongly written with just the right amount of suspense. I could feel the tenderness and love of the three characters. I fell in love with both Fane and Cable, and Kiziah was a perfect fit for these two forceful, hard-loving men. To say that I enjoyed this book would be an understatement. Kiziah's Reading kept me enthralled from page one until the very last word. I loved this book tremendously and anxiously await Jory Strong's third Carnival Tarot book, Dakotah's Reading. It also goes without saying that I highly recommend this book to any reader.

Fate of the cards

Sarael's Reading: When Sarael's tarot cards are read it is revealed that she will meet the man she was destined to be with. Unknowing to Sarael, she was born to be the bride of a vampire and her mate has come to make his claim. Kiziah's Reading: Fane and Cable were introduced during Sarael's story as male lovers. When Fane becomes a full vampire his need for a bride is too strong to ignore. Unwilling to lose what they have found together they struggle with Fane's urges. When Cable meets Kiziah he realizes They may be able to have the best of both worlds. Dakota's Reading: Domino has been mentioned in both previous stories. He is notorious for not intending to take a bride but when the change comes over him and he realizes that a bride is exactly what he wants and Dakota is the woman for him. ***I thought all three stories were good, but the 2nd one was the best (it was a unique 3 way love triangle which I found simply irresistable) and I wish it were a full length novel. The book basically follows 3 characters who have their tarot cards read by the same woman at the carnival. Each reading brings the character closer to their mate. This book throws a whole new light on werewolves/vampires way of life not to mention its very steamy. This is definately a unique read. I thought the stories flowed well together to create 1 great story with 3 different tales. I do recommend this book and I will be reading more of Jory's work.

Excellent book, well written

This book contained 3 stories that were all connected. I liked Cable and Fane's story the best. Ms. Strong is a great new writer for me. I will continue to buy her books.

Scorching HOT !!!!

Three stories interwoven with the same characters. Three women get tarot card readings which lead them to their loves. This book deals with alpha vampire males seeking out their true mates. Story one- Matteo has to use all his powers to claim Sarael. Story two- Fane has to take a wife but does not want to lose his lover Cabel. Can he figure out a way to have both in his life forever. Story three- Domino has no intentions on taking a wife but when he sees Dakotah turn into her wolf form his wolf inside him says different. This book is a super novella. Well worth any price paid. Very steamy, with a murder plot brewing in the background. The males are 100% alpha but the females are not pushovers either. This book is very erotic and borders on X-treme, definitly what I expect out of Ellora's Cave authors. You will not be disappointed.

Scorching

The story line is strong with a good plot. I enjoy all of this authors books. She is a must read for me. I liked the carnival spirit of the story. Well actually there are three stories in this book.They're all good and each starts with a Tarot reading. You can't escape your destiny but you can change it a little.
