A place in which she is a sort of prisoner until she proves herself trustworthy.

Leaving behind a past of heartache and regret, she has to learn to assimilate to an alternative dimension. While Elora is trying to get her heart in order, she also has to deal with living in her new world. I could totally feel for Elora because Storm is a great guy who would be a perfect companion, but Ram is so raw and sensual, it’s hard not to want him too. Their futures are more aligned than she thinks. But Ram has a secret, one that involves Elora.

She doesn’t want to be another notch on his belt. Then we have Ram: laid back, lady’s man, provocative. He is often frustrated with her stubbornness, even while he admires her for it as well. But his feelings for Elora start to change him a little. He is like the leader of his team, and he does what’s best for everyone. Storm was so wonderful, taking care of Elora when everyone else didn’t trust her. I truly did not know who she was going to choose for the longest time. With Names Like Storm and Ram, Who Could Resist?Īs this story picked up, I was fascinated by the dynamics between Elora, Storm, and Ram. But are they both strong enough to keep Elora safe from what goes bump in the night? And can Elora choose between obligation and love? Both men are a part of the Order of the Black Swan, a team of men who rid the world of monstrous vampires. But once better, Elora finds her eye wandering towards the cocky and sexy Ram. So as Elora heals from her trauma, Storm is there to help her every step of the way. Unfortunately, the journey through the portal is like going through a cheese grater. Hoping to save her life, her mentor throws her into a portal which takes her to a world similar but different than hers. I am very happy I did.Įlora’s world is no longer safe for her. So I knew I had to give it another chance. Then I saw many of my blogger buddies really enjoying this book. One, I was ridiculously behind on my review requests, two, I felt the beginning of My Familiar Stranger (from the sample chapters I got) was too slow.

I actually turned down this review request the first time around. It is loved by fans of paranormal romance, fantasy romance, and urban fantasy. My Familiar Stranger is a full length, stand alone, Paranormal Romance novel that also sets up the foundation for the Black Swan series. Perhaps more importantly, in the midst of an epidemic of vampire related abductions, can she stay alive long enough to choose between an honor debt, true love, or the breathlessness of single-minded passion? Of course a girl could suffer worse problems than having gorgeous suitors. Minutes ahead of inevitable assassination, Elora Laiken is forceably transported to an alternate dimension similar, but not identical, to her own.
