Blurb: The Man of Her Dreams

He is like a prince in a fairy tale: tall, outrageously handsome, and way too dark for her own good. Amanda has been hurt before, though. And with her daughter's illness, the last thing she needs right now is a man. But the power of Dai King is hard to resist. And when he threads his hands through her hair and pulls her in for a kiss, there is no denying it feels achingly right.

In a Land of Nightmares

After being trapped in the Shadowlands for centuries with the goblin horde a constant threat, Dai revels in his newfound freedom back in the human realm. But even with the centuries of magic he's accumulated, he still doesn't know how to heal Amanda's daughter—and it breaks his heart. Yet for the woman he loves, he'd risk anything...including a retun to the Shadowlands.

Review: This story was great. I loved the way Ms Husk portrayed Dai, brother to Roan, the Goblin King. You can feel his pain and loneliness as he struggles to adjust to the fixed realm again. Nightmares of the Shadowlands as well as his captivity as a Roman slave haunt him still. He also finds himself drawn towards Amanda, but thinks that due to his past, he’s not worthy of her. Amanda has trouble letting go of her late husband, and the feelings she’s having towards Dai confuse her. She also has a seven year old daughter who is very ill, and only wants the best for her.
