Blurb: How far would you go to save the ones you love?

Having successfully hidden her abilities from humans for two hundred years, Briet applies her Guardian gifts to help patients in need. Until she meets her human soul mate, Jason Ballard, who holds the reins to the Briet’s patients’ cancer protocol. Can she trust a man all too human and grounded in his world to understand hers? Yet, when a deadly threat targets her patients, he is the only one she trusts to help stop an evil that only the Guardians can fight.

Rules delineate every facet of Jason’s professional and personal life. The last thing he expects is to find temptation in the new spitfire doctor on his latest test team. Especially as she starts stirring up issues. Dangerous issues. Issues flagging jeopardy for the lives of the children in the test. Issues his employer, would prefer be ignored. Honor forces Jason to walk a dangerous line between job and conscience as he joins with Briet to ferret out the twisted scheme in time to save her patients. In a final life-altering decision, he will risk every careful plan he’s ever made for the woman he values more than life.

Review: Briet is a guardian, interacting with the humans in hopes of finding her mate. She finds him, but he's not exactly what she was hoping for. Jason doesn't want attachments in his life. Slowly, he comes to terms with the fact that Briet isn't like his usual women, she's somehow gotten under his skin. When Briet almost dies and Jason finds out what Briet is, he doesn't hesitate to do everything he can to make sure she lives. Briet is astounded at the turn of events, when she awakens from the dream sleep she was put in to help heal her. I hope there are more books in this series. There are so many things I want to know. I love the concept of the guardians, and would love for K. H. LeMoyne to fill in the rest of the story. She's a fantastic story teller. I will definitely be on the look out for more of her books.

Blurb: Liz Triest just moved into a row house in an historic neighborhood of Albany, New York. After a break up with her fiancé of seven years, she is determined to make a fresh start, and most of all, never to fall in love again. But even Liz’s self-protecting walls built from a broken heart are not strong enough to withstand the unrelenting force of the beautiful, mysterious, and supernatural Isaac Ainsley.

Review: I would recommend this book, because after I read it the characters stayed with me. I actually thought about this book last night and re-read it because I enjoyed it the first time. I'm sad that is was a novella, but none the less the story was cool. I loved how she had Issac come in and our of Elizabeth, even though only her family called her that, he addressed her in that way. I love how the Author keep the mystery, yet wrote a compelling story.

Blurb: What would you do to save your people from extinction?
What if your race held the key to mankind’s future?
One Guardian will risk hell to change the future.

Descended from the race of Guardians, Turen’s people have survived the last two hundred years, quarantined and isolated. Living in secrecy with no mates and no offspring, they fail to deliver on their ability to replenish and heal human souls through the birth of their Guardian children. Risking his life, Turen chooses capture at the hands of a comrade-turned-enemy to seek answers to change the future.

Mia Bowman has no knowledge of the secret Guardian race. Yet, her uncontrollable, nocturnal summons to Turen’s prison cell and her strong sense of justice leave her with little choice but to help him. She can heed his warning and stay clear of his people’s problems or she can ferret out the lies and unravel an ancient tale of murder and deceit. It will take an ultimate sacrifice to stop the unexpected evil and reverse a fatal ending to the Guardian line.
Review: I will definitely be on the look out for more in this series. I can’t wait to find out what happens to the Guardians in the future. When I first began reading this, I didn’t get the point of the first third of the book. Turen held captive by an insane Xavier, and Mia ‘popping’ in to visit him nightly and then Mia going home to write about it in her journal. The more I read, the more I knew that it was a building block for Turen and Mia’s relationship to flourish. I’m left to wonder, is Xavier as insane as he’s made out to be? Mia was the key to bringing the Guardians back to the way they were before their numbers were reduced by a virus, trusting in each other again.
