Every page is soaked with either adrenaline or naughty kerosene for the nether regions… of your imagination ĭid I hook you? I hope so. Thankfully ‘The Battle Sylph’ is just the right novel to help you lower your heating bills and is way better than the hot-water bottle you bring to bed. I needed a book to turn the heat up, burn down the house and fire me up.

To be quite honest ‘Circle of Fire’ shoved me outside in a blizzard. My christening review for this mighty feature has not been the funny and good-feel bang I hoped for.

That is a lie, but it would have taken less than with snail mail post. How did I get the book: Ana tied it to a balloon and asked a flock of geese to deliver it to me. The cover is also mucho impressive with those glowing eyes and the woman sprawled below the title. Ana sounded ecstatic and when her reader-sense is tingling, it means something good will happen. Why did I read the book: The premise sounded intriguing. Young Solie and the people of Eferem are about to find out. What would a woman do if she were given such a servant, and what would befall any kingdom foolish enough to allow a Battler to escape? Their magic can destroy an army or demolish a castle, and each has but one goal: find a Queen, then protect and pleasure her at all costs. Unlike their elemental cousins-those gentler sylphs of wind and fire-Battlers find no joy in everyday labor. Such a dark ritual is necessary, you see. When she is killed, he is silenced and enslaved. He is lured through the portal by pure female beauty, a virgin sacrifice. He is one of many: a creature of magic, unrelentingly male. Stand Alone or series: First book in a new series The public demands, the attention whore (that’s me) begs, and the smugglers comply. The idea came to be in December, when I posted my Sherilyn Kenyon review and people were interested to see the male POV about Paranormal Romance. I get the chance to play here at their blog once a month and my small spot will be called ‘A Dude Reads PNR’.

Harry: I’m the newest honorary addition to the Book Smugglers team. But we will let him introduce himself, please let’s give a warm welcome to Harry! This is our brand new segment in which our delightful buddy Harry, from Temple Library Reviews will be joining us once a month to review paranormal romance from a guy’s perspective.
