Katrina Haynes has settled nicely into a quiet life high up
in the mountains of Stone Gorge, Washington. Wanting to
shut herself off to a cruel world and people that
considered her weird, Kat lives a mostly routine and safe
life with her dog Karma by her side. When Karma wanders
off on her morning walk, Kat is shocked to find a half-
naked and wounded man laying in the snow. Unable to resist
her nature, she decides to help the wounded stranger and
brings him into the safety of her home. Katrina is
overwhelmed by the sheer size and strength of her patient,
yet she cannot help but be drawn to him despite his many
unconventional ways. Going against all rational thought,
she allows herself to be drawn into a new mysterious world
and into the arms of a man that even she could not have
imagined in her wildest dreams.
Once again free from capture, Ahnvil never expected to
escape with the amulet and then crash land on the side of a
mountain. Badly injured, he is discovered by a delicate
beauty that comes to his aid as he is desperate to not get
caught out in the sunlight. He is a gargoyle far from his
life force, his touch stone, and the threat of completely
turning to stone forever forces him to accept the help of
this small female. His savior soon piques his interest, and
he is drawn to everything about her despite all the
warnings against pursuing a human. When the alluring but
slightly nosy female puts on the amulet, he knows that he
will not be leaving Stone Gorge without her. A made
protector, he is forced to convince Kat to leave the safety
of the world she knows in order to find a way to free her
of the amulet's black magic. With Kat's help, they make it
back to his world, but now that he has her there, he must do
everything in his power to convince her to stay.
FORGED, the fourth of The World of Nightwalkers
series, is a gem of a book! Kudos to an author that can
bring gargoyles into this genre and make them just so
SEXY! It is nice to read about a less-than-perfect heroine
and in the end, Katrina and Ahnvil are really perfect for
one another. Avid fans of Jacquelyne Frank books will be
thrilled to know that a popular Nightwalker couple, Bella
and Jacob, get major page time in this story. The
Nightwalker worlds promise to overlap as the prophecy is
revisited in FORGED, hinting to readers that there will
be much more to come. I am looking forward to seeing past
favorites in future books as the storyline blazes forward.
FORGED is a fabulous addition to an already great series!
From New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn
Frank comes a seductive new paranormal romance set in the
World of the Nightwalkers, as a battle-scarred bodyguard and
a sensitive beauty risk their lives—and their hearts—in the
face of evil.
When Katrina Haynes discovers a large man lying wounded in
the snow, she fears he is at death’s door. But as Kat tends
to his injuries, she quickly realizes that they’re the least
of her worries. With an irresistible Scottish brogue and a
strange ability to harden his chiseled body like a statue,
the stranger awakens a desire she is unable to resist—and a
fascination about the intriguing world he exists in.
As a proud Gargoyle, Ahnvil must safeguard the Nightwalker
to whom he’s sworn fealty. But as this bewitching woman
nurses him back to health, arousing an almost uncontrollable
hunger within him, he is possessed with the fierce impulse
to protect her as well. And he will have to shield her—for
by coming to his rescue, Kat has placed herself in the
middle of a supernatural war . . . and exposed herself to
dark, powerful magic. As human and Gargoyle forge an
unbreakable bond, Kat will discover that despite his
intimidating strength and size, one thing Ahnvil does not
possess is a heart of stone.
