Description from the publisher:
How
can she be his soul mate if he doesn't have a soul?
The
Queen of Swords, a paranormal tale of undying love, tells the story of a white
witch who returns every hundred years to reunite with her soul mate--a Celtic
vampire who's been earthbound by a dark wizard's curse. Will she find a way for
them to be together this time around?
Back cover blurb:
When
Graham Logan draws the Queen of Swords, he knows he’s about to meet the love of
his life. For the third time. But surrendering his heart will mean risking her
life…or making her what he is--two things his beliefs won’t allow him to do.
Graham
rages at God: Why give her back only to take her again?
Cat
Fingal, the third incarnation of Graham’s other half, won’t let him slip away
so easily. A white witch, she casts a spell to summon him—for answers, among
other things.
Graham
has other problems, too. Like the seductress who wants him for herself and the
dark wizard who cursed him and killed Cat the first two times.
Will
she find a way to save him this time around?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is this a series? That question is still undecided. I hope so!
In Tarot cards, the Queen of Swords
is analytical and wise. In the past
position of your spread, it means that you made good decisions based on the
information you had. To Graham Logan, it
means that his “Cat” has returned. His soul-mate has once again been reincarnated and he must choose between loving
her for a short time knowing that it will lead to her death by his enemies or
leaving her before she recognizes him as her twin flame. Cat Fingal is not so easily deterred. She is a (good) witch determined to fight for
her true love in this incarnation. Can
she save him from the curse of the dark wizard fixated on claiming Graham’s
soul…the same dark wizard who has already killed her twice in his efforts to
get to Graham?
You all know by now that I love
paranormal romance. I adore this
story! Another reviewer said this one was “as sinfully seductive as
chocolate…” I can find no better
words. There were vampires, fae, ghosts,
and witches. The love between Graham and
Cat transcends time and is scorchingly lustful.
The supporting characters do just that – helping to move the story along
while adding spice and flavor. I did a
lot of the reading during my exercise time on the treadmill – I walked longer
than usual because I just did not want to stop reading! Ms. Mason even includes some snippets of
poetry from Robert Burns, a personal favorite of mine. I was so inspired, that I made the new
headers you see here in this review, using my own family’s tartan. (Armstrong Proud! Invictus maneo “I remain unvanquished.”)
Ms. Mason, thank you for the fantasy
escape from normal, the mini-vacation to Scotland, and the mini history lessons
that were more than fun. You have a new
fan following you and eager to read not only The Tin Man (later this week), but
your promised Knights of Avalon series coming next year.
