What a HOT ebook!

I picked this on up on a lark at ellorascave.com. Sherri L. King has to be one of the HOTTEST new e-book authors to hit the web! I can't believe she isn't in print! (or is she???) This is a steamy erotic tale that leaves you wanting to read more and more until you realize you've been sitting there for hours! I was late to work the next morning because I stayed up most of the night reading this. I couldn't put it down! I thought about it all day and then when I got home I read it again!And don't let me get started with those men! Let just say my husband is very happy I bought this e-book ;)I hope she plans to write more in this series. Sherri L. King creates an indepth and beautiful world and I hope to see more of it!

Timeless Tales Review

By TT reviewer Brenda Gill [full review on our website]Rayven has always been different from the people around her. She is an orphan and has always been overlooked by the couples who want to adopt a child. Her differences make the prospective parents uneasy. She is a child prodigy, a genius. She scores higher on standardized IQ tests than any other person tested before. She has eyes of an unusual gold color that seem to look right though a person. Her differences make her a loner.He comes to her in the guise of a giant black hawk, and warns her of danger. Rayven thinks it was a dream until she realizes her foster parent's house was on fire. She is the only one to survive the fire. Rayven is surprised when, a few days later, she is arrested and charged with arson and the murder of her foster parents. She manages to escape and stays on the run for 13 long years. Rayven is captured and taken to the planet, Varood, where she is questioned by General Karis. She learns that she is the last of her race, the Aware. She was sent to Earth by her parents to escape the massacre that killed most of her kind. The Aware are a race with strange and frightening powers, and those in the Galactic are afraid of them, so they tried to exterminate them.Rayven escapes with the help of a giant black hawk, the same one she thought she saw in her dream so many years before. She learns the hawk is really a man named Draco. He takes her though a dimensional doorway to the planet Hostes, where she meets the last remnant of her race. There she will test the extent of her powers and abilities to help save the last of her kind. As Rayven awakes to the power of passion, she has to save the people depending on her and come to terms with the feelings she has for the strange and sensuous man, Draco.Rayven's Awakening is an exciting blend of science fiction, fantasy, and romantica. Ms. King has combined the different genres into a fast-paced, smoothly written tale. The love scenes are like molten lava, they're so hot, but they advance the story. They aren't put on the page to arouse and titillate, but to show the reader the deep love and greater passion Rayven and Draco have for each other. This book is going on my "keeper shelf" to be read again and again.

THE BEST SEX I'VE HAD IN YEARS!

This book knocked me flat when I read it. I was only going to read one or two chapters but got hooked from page one. I stayed up all night reading it and then re-read it the next day!This story has action, danger, REALLY HOT SEX, magic, romance and mayhem. It's got it all!! There were parts that were so suspensful and erotic (the heroine is the savior of a superior and magical race but doesn't know it and how she finds out is really EXPLOSIVE!) that I was sweating!This was really well written. If you like a good plot and great sex then you have to check this author out! Sherri L. King has created a world of mystery, magic and steamy romance the likes of which I've never seen. I couldn't believe this was an e-book!I've read this author's other book on ellorascave.com and it was just as amazing (but too darn short)! I'm putting this author on my MUST BE BOUGHT list. I cant wait to see her books in print. I really really hope that there will be a sequel to this story!Please Please PLEASE write more and write fast Miss King. I love your work!
