5 Hearts from TRS!

Denise Rossetti does a wonderful job of keeping the relationship between Erik and Prue the central focus of the book even as she weaves in the overarching plot that ties it to the first book in the series. The sense of menace is felt throughout the story and will keep readers on edge as it draws closer to Erik and Prue. Though the ending is completely satisfying, there are some aspects of the plot that seem unresolved and will leave readers anxious to get their hands on the next book in the series. This is one book, and series, I recommend whole heartedly to anyone who wants a little fantasy and magic woven into their romance. - Karin

enjoyable romantic fantasy

In Caracole Erik Thorensen is known as the Godlen due his sensual Voice that seduces innocent women. However, he went too far with his seductive Voice and stole the soul of an innocent. Erik is attracted to the Garden of Nocturnal Delights business manager Pruella Takimori McGuire. She is a bottom line type of woman and not fantasy Magick lover. His efforts to win her love is frustrated by her ignoring the Voice as it has no effect though she conceals her attraction to Erik the person and not his Golden persona. However, Erik is soon in deep trouble when the Necromancer has evil plans to use the Golden Voice to devour the souls of the innocent. This is an enjoyable romantic fantasy starring two likable lead characters and a sinister villain. The Golden one finds his charming seductive voice fails him with the woman he wants and who might be the one to bring him redemption. Besides his failure with Prue, he now has a kick butt evil necromancer determined to use his seductive skill to steal souls. Fans will take pleasure in Denise Rossetti's return to the realm of the Four-Sided Pentacle (see The Flame and the Shadow). Harriet Klausner
