The dichotomy is the appeal of the Chimera ultimately- light and dark, in one.

Intense action, adventure, drama and romance!

Book 3 – Caledon still has enemys… Emily (human) meets otherworlders thanks to her father’s debts. Mr. Tsavaras (Zan and Ky) offers to clear thousands of dollars of debt in exchange for just being there for him for 90 days! Love happens, weird stuff happens hoever Emily sees the good in both Ky & Zan and is pulled to them. Zan kinda scares her and she is more comfortable with Ky but she learns the truth and she is extremely accepting and wants both! Love, good guys, bad guys and then the Queen pops in for a quick chat. Marcus, Keeper of Doors, is magnificant – sure two headed guys aren’t the norm for anyone but this dude is HOT!
What I don’t understand is why in this book the change the name of the Queen to Benoica instead of Denioca (like in the first book)? Oh well…press on… these stories are well written and thoroughly awesome!
I received this book free from the author in exchange for a review…Boom amazeballs!!!!
So a woman died giving birth to baby with 2 heads. The father called him a beast in his anger her cursed the baby because his birth had killed his mother as if the baby meant to do it. He cursed this baby.
Emily Henley was a student in college until her life got turned upside down. Mom died, dad made so much debt Emily had to take a bargain from a mysterious business man. Ok not telling you more lol you just got to read it! Great plot, I love the characters, action, intrigue, spice, and so much more. I can’t wait to read the rest of the books. Don’t miss it. Voluntarily reviewed a copy and I honestly loved it
I really like this short read. It kinda reminded me of Beauty and the Beast but with a twist. Plenty of intrigue, action, and of course steamy romance to keep you hook from beginning to end. Overall a enjoyable and entertaining read. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
Once again Emily finds herself cleaning up for her father. This time she doesn’t even know what she’ll have to do. She does know that three months of her life and his gambling debts are cleared up — again. For the last time, she tells herself. As she knocks on the strange door of the mansion in front of her she begins to wonder if she’s gone too far this time.
Inside await two men, one gorgeous but with an underlying darkness. The other, scarred yet has his own attraction and kindness she feels. What she doesn’t know is she is in for a true surprise when she meets the man she is to be a companion for the three months.
I loved this short story. The three personalities, the chimera, loved it all. I’m going to read the whole series.
