Fresh Fiction Review

Mona Lisa Awakening
Sunny

Reviewed by Sheila Graves
Posted August 7, 2006

Romance Erotica Sensual | Romance Paranormal

Mona Lisa has always known she was different -- just how different she learns when Gryphon shows up in the emergency room during her shift. She's drawn to him and he to her. Then she learns both he and she are Monère, a race of beings descended from the moon, ruled by Queens. Gryphon recognizes Mona Lisa is a Queen, even though she's of mixed birth, and takes her into the world of the Monère -- here on Earth, but a different world in many ways. To gain her heritage, Mona Lisa must battle jealousy, hatred, lust and a band of rogue males who refuse to follow their Queens. MONA LISA AWAKENING is a new take on the world of paranormals. Mona Lisa is a believable heroine in a world of fantastic powers and such, somewhat reminiscent of Laurell K. Hamilton's Merry Gentry. Plenty of action, sensuality and a great storyline make this a very good read.

SUMMARY

From the time she was an orphan child, Mona Lisa knew she was different — but she never knew how different until a man of otherworldly beauty arrived during her night shift in the ER. Gryphon is hurting and hunted...and he attracts her as no man ever has before. He is a Monère, one of the children of the moon—and what's more, so is she... Long exiled from the moon, the men of the Monère serve — and mate — with imperious Queens, who can channel the rays of their far-off homeland. Gryphon believes that Mona Lisa is a Queen — perhaps the first of Mixed Blood ever known. But her introduction to the nighttime court of the Monère, simmering with intrigue, casual lust, and calculated cruelty, is far from smooth. The other Queens are infuriated by her potential powers, and they are all menaced by a group of rogue males who have broken away from the women's sway. Even as she battles threats from within and without, Mona Lisa is determined to discover who she is, and to explore the limits of her growing power - and her secret desires...
