Enticed

I found this book at a bargain book sale and who can pass up a normally $14 book for only 4 bucks. I will admit I am only 3/4 the way through the book and I like it very much. The only problem is that there is no explaination of the magic useage or some of the terms. It's like being in the middle of a series where everything was explained in the first book and the author expects everyone to have read it. It's just a bit disconcerting. But I really do love the idea of military black ops men using magic. MMmmm Yummy!!

This is the second book from this author that is great. She has a way of writing that makes you care for the characters. I can't wait for the next book from this author. The paranormal elements only serve to enhance the entire novel. It's like an alternate universe or a contemporary novel with elements of magic that are integrated into life. It makes me wish we had such a universe here. If you can read both novels-Entangled and Enticed.

Blind artist Jordan Kane uses her psyprint abilities to create works of art. However, because of her clairvoyance, very few people realize she is blind and she likes it that way. During a showing of her art at a gallery, Jordan meets Dillon Gavin, a man she instantly recognizes as a walking, talking breathing upset to her well-ordered solitary life. While Dillon may be sin personified and sexy as hell, Jordan just doesn't want a man in her life upsetting the balance and normalcy she has created. Using her clairvoyance to see Dillon, Jordan can't deny her attraction. His job, however, causes the most distress. Violence comes off him in waves, so much so that Jordan decides that Dillon is strictly off limits. If only he would listen. Black ops agent Dillon Gavin has been placed on vacation by his superiors with orders to rest and relax. Since his occupation takes up most of his time, he rarely indulges in simple things like sex and flings. Primed and ready for fast and easy non-committed action, Dillon has no idea that his favorite artist, Jordan Kane, is about to totally change his outlook on romance and love. Desiring Jordan like none before her, Dillon's seduction begins. It's not surprising that it almost comes to a crashing halt when she lets him in on her secret. The thought that Jordan can sense and see what he is doing and what he has done places her in unnecessary risk. Dillon knows that he should let her go - but knowing and doing are two very different things. When Jordan's nightmares are increasingly filled with vile visions of destruction and death, Dillon determines that he will do anything to keep his woman safe. ENTICED by Kathleen Dante is, for want of a better description, simply enticing. I thought Ms. Dante wove an intriguing tale of suspense that kept me wondering at the identity of the antagonist. I treasured Dillon from the moment he met Jordan. Chivalrous from his first glance at Jordan, I thought him a most patient lover; his seduction and enticement of Jordan was one of the most romantic scenes I have ever read. Jordan was a strong and independent heroine and I loved how she tried to talk herself out of seeing Dillon many times over but to no avail. The secondary character, Timothy, Jordan's fat feline pet, was written so realistically that most cat lovers will relate to the ball of fur's stubbornness and curiosity. ENTICED is a must read in my book. Suspenseful, intriguing, and doused with a bit of magic, this story sated my paranormal loving heart. This second book of Kathleen Dante's En series was exactly what I was craving. ENTICED is a keeper and I look forward to future installments.

Dillon Gavin misses his Black Ops partner John "Lantis" Atlantis who left the field two years ago and is now married to his "heart sister" a pregnant Keira (see ENTANGLED). He is happy for both of them and even played matchmaker between them. Currently Dillon is on an enforced official month of R & R so he goes to the Walson Galleries to see the Jordan Kane exhibit as he is a big collector of her psyprints. When Dillon and Jordan meet, the attraction is ignitable, but though he wants to pursue it, she refuses as he scares her and her clairvoyance makes her wonder if he is a killer as she envisions a murder when she touches his gloves. He is surprised to learn she is blind as she sees better than most people with 20-20 vision and is jealous of her muse Timothy. Dillon begins his month long courtship with orchids and a mano a mano with Timothy her cat. However, as they see one another, she fears she has fallen in love with a killer while he finds the field no longer appealing, but first someone is trying to kill his beloved Jordan and she thinks it might be Dillon. Fans of erotic romantic suspense will enjoy this enticing thriller starring likable protagonists though the audience will think of Johnny Cochran's "if the glove don't fit acquit". The story line is fast-paced as the hero wants to become the new muse of his beloved while also keeping her safe from an unknown adversary whose motive surfaces late; his dilemma is that Jordan thinks he is her killer. Kathleen Dante provides a stupendous sequel as it is Dillon's turn to come out of the cold into the heat of love.
