CLICK TO PURCHASE! Poor Clarice, she has had the day from hell. From her new interim boss, hottie Otis Larssen seeing her at her worst and then to find out someone wants her dead, Clarice is stunned beyond belief when Otis decides that Clarice is in need of his strong alpha control. With two elemental dragon shifters finding that love can be rocky with murder, kidnappings and a mystery of Clarice’s heritage butting in, Otis and Clarice find out that the passion that simmers between them is just the tip of the flame as it flares bright and hot whenever they are together. Can they keep their clothes on long enough to find out who the heck wants to kill Clarice before it is too late?

RESCUING CLARICE is one hot ride from start to finish. With two elemental dragons finding out that yes, water and fire do mix and quite well mind you; someone or something is bent on getting something of Clarice’s grandmothers and they won’t hesitate to kill or kidnap to get it. I love the way Otis and Clarice mix together, be it on a wall, floor, bed or other things that even I was amazed at the use for. With just the right touch of mystery, sexual tension and adventure, Ms. Cook delivers a spine tingling ride that will keep you glued to the edge of your seat as you root for Otis and Clarice to solve the mystery and live happily ever after. Can Otis be able to convince Clarice that she can trust that he will always be by her side, always ready to help her in whatever way she needs him to be and can Clarice be able to trust in Otis completely, to give her heart, body and soul?

Ms. Cook delivers one fast paced ride with tight writing, creative characters and some really hot sex scenes that has me looking at utility closets a bit differently now. This is an author who knows the right mix of captivating characters and white hot passion that singes your fingertips as soon as you open the book. I really enjoyed the way Otis would try to order Clarice around and she would stand up for herself, giving him pause for thought as he finds himself with a woman who is neither so meek nor mild. RESCUING CLARICE also gave some really intriguing secondary characters that have me wondering if Ms. Cook will spin off a few into their own stories. I can only hope. If you enjoy a unique paranormal story with some red hot passion that will leave you breathless and some of the most intriguing characters to enjoy, then run to grab RESCUING CLARICE. I am looking forward to seeing if this author will continue with the elemental dragons in the future. I look forward to reading it again…this time with my significant other by my side.

Came-a-lot is celebrating the holidays and Prince Undain is the last unmarried son of King Arthur. Escaping from the chaos of Yule season and an influx of family members, Undain and his lover, Prince Dennac find out that there is an unexpected surprise in the form of a bewitching beauty who quickly becomes their third member of a marriage triad. Magnolia has a past that flares when her husbands find out what she is and when someone from her homeland decides he wants Magnolia for himself, can Undain and Dennac keep her safe from harm?

MAGNOLIA is the fourth book in this delightful series from author Anny Cook. Sensual and enchanting, Ms. Cook delivers a holiday story that will keep you toasty warm and pleasantly delighted. Here you meet Prince Undain, the last unmarried son of the randy King Arthur. Determined not to get sucked into the chaos that makes up Yule season in Came-a-lot, he escapes with his lover, Prince Dennac, to the tower they share together. What these two strong men don’t anticipate is a woman who will complete them and the problems that follow her to Came-a-lot. Magnolia is innocent yet bewitching to Undain and Dennac. She completes them and her innocence is just one facet that covers her many layers in their eyes. Total sensual delights await Magnolia as she accepts their proposal and marries them both in a marriage triad.

The three main characters (Undain, Dennac and Magnolia) are wonderful and this reviewer was thrilled to see Undain get his own story finally. All three have many layers that pull back to show the reader who they are underneath and I was eager to see what would happen when Magnolia decides to put some things in motion she’d learned from the wives of Undain’s brothers. Magnolia delivers chuckles and gasps of delight as you read it and I for one, am anxious to see if there will be more wonderful adventures in the steamy world of Came-a-lot. It was great to see the other characters from the first three books making appearances and some twists kept me riveted to the pages of MAGNOLIA. Ms. Cook does a fabulous job keeping her readers squirming in their seats with each new revelation as she weaves her sensual spell over them.

Ms. Cook enchants her readers with another thrilling tale of magic, shape shifters, and sexual fun in MAGNOLIA. If you haven’t picked up the other three books in the series (CHRYSANTHEMUM, HONEYSUCKLE, & DAFFODIL), then do so. They are rousing fun books that will take you to the world of Came-a-lot and the wonderful characters that populate it. I look forward to more adventures in the world of Came-a-lot.
