Romance Paranormal | Fantasy

Zafira, Queen of the Fey, gives a task to her fairie handmaid, Kaia Verde. Kaia returns to Florida for the sole purpose of seducing and stealing the heart of Garrett Jameson, to punish and humiliate him. Returning to Faeria after sensational sex at the hotel with Garrett, she leaves him with a whopping $5,000 bill. Losing her heart instead, Queen Zafira takes away her wings and magic and sends Kaia back as a human, void of anything other than a driver's license and $20 cash. Kaia has 5 weeks, to Solstice, to complete her original mission or a drastic fate awaits her.

Smelly and hungry Kaia finds her way to the Good Samaritan Mission and finagles a job at the flower shop from Garrett's best friend's fiancée, Rachel. She works hard to better her living arrangement while wheedling her way into Garrett's life again. Untrusting but completely fascinated with Kaia, Garrett becomes heavily involved and loses his heart, albeit unknown to Kaia. She is taken back to Faeria, stripped of all powers to face the Black Ladies. Garrett's niece, Lexi, is lost and leads the family to the fairie ring where Garrett, his stern grandmother and mother all enter into Faeria. Because of Kaia's love for Garrett, she bargains to sacrifice herself for the humans' lives.

RADIANT DESIRE, the first book in the Handmaid's Seduction series, is fascinating with the fantasy, dreams and hopes of both fairie and human. Chucked full of sex, love and heartbreak Kaia does the forbidden, losing her own heart to a human. I certainly hope I have the opportunity to read all of the novels in this series. It is most entertaining and extremely delightful.

SUMMARY

The object of every man’s fantasy just lost her wings…

Kaia Verde is one of the four Faerie Handmaids of Zafira, Queen of the Fey. To redress an ancient wrong done to Zafira by a human king, the Handmaids make sport of mortal men, seducing and humiliating them. When Kaia sets out to seduce Garrett Jameson, but ends up being the one surrendering to pleasure, Zafira is furious. Kaia’s punishment is simple: make Garrett fall in love with her by the summer solstice, then break his heart, or face eternity without her wings—or her soul. To make the task harder, Zafira tells Kaia she cannot use her faerie magic or charm to lure Garrett into her bed.

…and now she’s losing her heart…

Kaia thinks her task will be relatively easy—as a faerie, she understands lust, and can love be much different? But once she is living among the humans, Kaia discovers the race she once disparaged is far more complex and beautiful than she imagined. She learns before she can break Garrett’s heart, she must find a way to heal it. And eventually, discovers that losing her wings may be a far easier price to pay than losing her heart.
