Glenna Pierce is a beautiful young woman with ivory skin,
sparkling green eyes, and flowing red hair. She has been
sheltered and pampered since the day she was born, never
wanting for anything but protected from the harsh realities
of life. Her parents have groomed her for the legacy she is
to inherit on her 18th birthday for as long as Glenna can
remember, the details of this legacy have always been very
vague -- just that it is a very special day and she will come
into her powers and be taught how to use them.
Nicholas Stormbringer is a strong, honorable man. He is the
king of Aropoli on the fifth plane (our world is on the
twelfth plane). Nicholas has waited for Glenna's 18th
birthday since he was ten years old -- the day she was
promised to him as a baby.
Nicholas' kingdom is at risk and Glenna must decide if she
will marry Nicholas within 24 hours of their meeting.
During those 24 hours, Glenna is kidnapped, Nicholas rescues
her, they share their first kiss, she learns the truth about
her heritage, and what is truly at stake with her decision.
And that's just the first half of the book.....once Glenna has
decided Nicholas is the man for her, his old rival steps
forward and tries to claim her for his own bride; leading to
an explosive climatic showdown.
BORN TO BE HIS is a lovely paranormal romance with plenty of
suspense and action. Wendy Stone did a good job with
character development; however I did have a hard time with
the plot concept of Glenna being expected to just accept all
the changes that had occurred in such a short time frame and
readily jump right into marriage; especially since she was
so young and sheltered. But once I got past that small
sticking point, I really enjoyed the story. I liked the
fifth plane and all the fairy tale characters that inhabited
it -- Ms. Stone made them completely life-like -- just as I
had imagined them when I was a child.
A handsome stranger, a mysterious land and incredible
romance, what more could a girl ask for?
Glenna Pierce has just turned eighteen. This birthday has
been one that she has looked forward to since the day her
parents told her of the magic that would be hers when she
reached her majority and was brought in to the Pierce Coven.
Nicholas Stormbringer is King of his people and ruler of the
Fifth Plane. Glenna was his, given to him by her parents to
marry when she reached eighteen. He would do anything to
make sure of her safety and happiness, even giving her up if
that was what she wanted.
When Glenna is kidnapped by a rival clan and spirited away,
could Nicholas find her and bring her home? Would she be
willing to give up everything she knew here, in this plane,
to live in a world of fairies and ogres, to be his wife, his
lover to the end of his days? Was she, in truth, Born to be His?
