Blurb:
He's the man of her dreams
A
long time ago, Zander Lorens was cursed to walk the earth stripped of his
Dragon Clan powers. Every night, trapped in a recurring nightmare, Zander
relives his darkest moment. He can hardly believe it when the dream changes and
a beautiful young woman appears. Zander believes she's the key to ending his
torment. Finding her in the real world is one thing, but how will he convince
her of who-and what-she really is?
She's the end to his nightmare
Rena
McHale uses her unique sensitivity as a private investigator, touting herself
as a "human divining rod" and finder of the lost. By day she
struggles with sensory overload, and by night her sleep is haunted by a fiery
dragon shifter. Nothing in her life makes sense, until the man from her dreams
shows up at her door with a proposition...

Review:
I have waited and wished for this series to
return for a long time now, and though it is technically a spin-off series, we did get to meet up with some old
friends and see more of the Amoveo legend I have come to love. The original series introduced a group of
shape-shifters, following a legend that was extremely unique and I loved that
entire series and was so sad to hear it was ending, so when I ran across this
story in the catalog I’m not afraid to admit I squealed like a little
girl. Not only am I a huge fan of all of
Ms. Humphreys works, I am THRILLED that she was able to return to this world
and introduce an all new set of characters.
This story began about 500 years ago, when Zander and his brother Zed
were cursed, leaving Zed trapped in dragon form deep below ground, and Zander
was cursed to travel the world with no end to either his curse or his life in
sight. The curse’s time limit for saving
himself and his brother is coming to an end, quickly, when Zander connects in the dream realm with the woman that he thinks can save them both, his
brother’s mate. Tracking her down is the
easy part, but convincing her to help him will be a lot more complicated. Rena runs a private investigator’s agency,
using her special gift to help her become one of the most successful in her
profession. When the dangerous and
deadly looking Zander arrives in her office one afternoon the connection between
them immediately pulls at her, but the task he wants her to undertake is going
to be near to impossible, especially when she can tell that he is lying to
her. Willing to give him a bit of
leeway, Rena sets off with Zander to find a way to help him find his brother,
but as the truth of his mission unfolds, the danger and passion that circle them is increasingly volatile. It’s
obvious to Rena that she and Zander are destined to be together, even if he
claims she belongs to his brother—if she’s going to be anyone’s mate, it will
be Zander. But as their time runs out, a
deadly enemy from Zander’s past, someone that Rena never imagined would be a
danger to her, returns to take his ultimate revenge on the brothers, unless
Rena and Zander can prevent it. I LOVED
Rena. She was a kickass, sexy, smart
heroine and I haven’t met a character so well written and developed in a long
while. Zander was obviously a
complicated guy, but once he stopped denying the truth right in front of him,
he became the hero he was always destined to be. The heat and passion between this foxy lady
and sexy dragon was off the charts hot, and I often wondered if they were going
to set the world around them aflame. I
was thrilled that they were able to find a way to reach their HEA and admit the
love that developed between them, but mostly I enjoyed seeing them working
together to work through their problems and overcome all obstacles. I cannot wait for book 2, which will
hopefully be Zed’s story, where he might finally meet his own true mate. I hope there are many more in this series to
come and that Sara is able to keep the world of the Amoveo alive, in one form
or another, for a long time to come.
Another sensual masterpiece, filled with drama, emotional turmoil and
the angst of a man denying his destiny and a woman trying to grab hers and hold
on with both hands. Great work, Sara!
