CLICK TO PURCHASE! Brioni has always wondered about Haruto, the mysterious lycan who has joined Earth’s organized resistance. Something calls her to the man who doesn’t interact with the others and who kills without feeling and for some reason who never takes his goggles off. One evening she hears a sound. Following it, she comes across Haruto playing the ocarina. When she approaches him, he doesn’t turn her away and they spend a night sharing each other’s bodies. Then, all hell breaks loose. Haruto is fascinated by the new feelings Brioni has awakened in him. He doesn’t want to lose his ‘Goth Fairy’ and he is willing to kill or die for her. Trouble is, their enemies have found out about them and know that Haruto can be captured through Brioni. The question is not if there is a future for them, but can they even survive the now?

While I was reading this fabulous story, I felt as if I was watching a Manga film. Nathalie Gray writes vivid characters that leap off the pages. From the optimistic, happy Brioni, to the brooding, mysterious Haruto. She builds a world that is dark and dangerous. There is lots of action and adventure and I was scrolling those pages as fast as possible. When I got to the love scenes, then I went a bit slower to savour those delicious feelings that this talented author wrote into each scene. She delivers sensual, passionate love scenes that curls the toes and gets the motor humming. The dialogue is very well written and I love the way Ms. Gray just grabs the reader and pulls her into the story. I’m a big fan of Nathalie Gray’s stories. She always writes stories that are totally captivating in every way.

Kivanc turns women's heads and Jill is captivated by the charming man. They are soon embroiled in thrilling passions. But Jill can hear the dead, they speak to her, plead with her and she hoped that coming to Istanbul would help her to take a break from the voices. They are still here, although she cannot understand them. Together they discover a long buried secret and the voices start warning Jill. They have to run for their lives and bring back a special artifact so that the souls that are trapped in an artificial hell can be freed. If they fail, those very same souls will be held in hell and forever in torment. And Kivanc isn't all he seems to be and their passions are spiralling out of control.

Another story about the charming, handsome men of Gentlemen Inc; Nathalie Gray has written an exciting adventure that will surely take your breath away. She combines a hot, sensual love affair with an action packed story that will keep you glued to your preferred e-book reader. Ms. Gray writes action that you can imagine on the big screen. The car chase unfolded before my eyes as I was reading it. The sex scenes are steamy, sensual, toe-curling and monitor melting! I think I fell a little bit in love with Kivanc myself. This is a thrilling and chilling book that will certainly have you chewing a nail or two. Whenever I read a book from this very talented author, I think there couldn't be a better one, but she always gives her reader value for their money and a story of the highest calibre. I'm looking forward to reading more about these unusual gentlemen and especially Adriano and his stalker. Enough said!

Dar Skara is taken and whisked off to train as a gladiator. Constantly under drugs because he is able to take down the men who are trying to subdue him, he faces Opal Seleria, the woman who is to train him. She soon teaches him a lesson. That anger doesn’t help him and he needs to harness his rage to be able to live beyond the next game. Dar sees Opal as the enemy, but as they spar, he learns to respect, and oh my goodness, love! Opal has denied her womanly side a long time. As a warrior, there aren’t too many men strong enough to take her on. But Dar is sexy, powerful and vicious. He’s everything she needs and wants and soon they are enjoying raw sex in forbidden encounters. Dar has something to teach Opal and hopefully she is able to learn the lesson.

I love this author. Nathalie Gray always gives her readers a hot adventure that is full of emotion and hot sex. She always gives her readers a plot to keep their attention and hold them captive. Her characters just leap from the pages. Dar is just so yum! And Opal is just the right woman for him. Although this story may remind you of the film The Gladiator, Nathalie Gray adds her own unique elements to the story and if this were ever filmed, wow...it would be an even bigger blockbuster! The interaction between these star-crossed lovers is raw and explosive. It’s wonderful to see how they finally realise that there are deeper feelings coming to light and when they finally realise this the story takes on a whole different direction. Nathalie Gray is an auto-review for me because she has never disappointed me, ever.

This author always gives her reader value for their dollars. A story that is breathtaking in its adventure, heart-stopping in its romance and toe-curling in its hot, sexy love scenes. This is no exception. Ms. Gray gives us multi-faceted characters that leap off the pages. Characters full of emotions that the reader can love. The adventurous plot is exciting and the action hardly lets up for a minute. Ms. Gray surely puts her characters through their paces. The love scenes are not only toe-curling hot but are emotionally satisfying bringing the characters further along in their relationship. I may be somewhat biased in my review as I am a big fan of this talented author’s work and she has never disappointed. I can highly recommend this author if you enjoy a good futuristic story with explosive characters and an exciting story. And of course, some hot sex!

He doesn’t know that she has come on a mission. As a member of the Mechanical Rose Society, it is her duty to keep the delicate balance within a fragile world. Cunning, strength of will and sex are her tools, not to mention a corset full of gadgets. She has come to persuade Leeford to stop with his new invention, or kill him.

Wonderful! This story has it all. Great characters, an exciting, adventurous plot, an emotional romance and some hot sex. Nathalie Gray knows how to weave a story that captivates her readers and sends them on an adventure that excites and titillates. I discovered this author not too long ago and have devoured quite a few of her books. So far, she has never disappointed and has delivered stories of the highest caliber. I particularly liked this one, with a theme similar to the movie Wild, Wild, West, where the world is now full of strange machines run by steam. Ms. Gray brings her characters and world to life and it was a joy to see the hardened assassin fall for the handsome geek. I know Ms. Gray’s fans will love this one, and if you haven’t discovered her for yourself yet, what are you waiting for? Run now and buy!
