A Romantica® paranormal erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave



Elizabeth Lapthorne has been writing professionally since 2002. She has been astonished by the success of her Rutledge Werewolf series, and finds immense pleasure in hearing from her fans. To date she has more than ten books out, a few of those even in paperback.

Elizabeth regularly goes to the gym to chew over her ideas; many a book has begun or been worked through while cycling on the bikes. She also loves to read, eat chocolate and talk for hours with her friends. Elizabeth would love to hear from her fans, and checks her email religiously.




Favorite Quotes:

“I was…uh…detained. I actually expected Morgan to have already started. I assumed I’d be greeted with that patented scowl of his. Damn, but I’m glad I still managed to beat him here. Now he can’t give me the standard lecture on wasting my talents and how I really need to start—”
“Then you’d better button your shirt correctly, imp,” Kiera teased him with a smile and a chuckle. The long-running but completely friendly antagonism between Morgan and Josh amused Kiera more than anything else. Mentor and student had more than a little in common—Morgan had been considered quite the fox in his youth before he had fallen head over heels for his wife. That had been fifteen years ago and lurid tales of his exploits were still the stuff of legend amongst some of the Strategists around Headquarters.

“They could print out something like an old wanted posted. With a heading of ‘Beware. This wizard will appear smooth and slick, charming and a sexy rogue, but many a fair witch has fallen under his power and ended up broken-hearted.’ Though maybe there’s too many words there. I might have to work on it,” Morgan said.
Kiera chuckled automatically, her mind still busy. Josh looked as if he was trying to decide whether to pretend outrage or just go along with it.
“Word of mouth is more than enough,” she added. “A flier would just further enhance his ego.”
Josh put a hand to his chest and plastered a wounded look on his face as he glanced from Morgan to Kiera. “I’m not potent enough to warrant a flier?” he mocked. “I bet there used to be one on you, Morgan. Maybe I ought to—”
“Not today,” Morgan insisted firmly as he compressed his lips. Kiera’s smile evaporated. Without saying a single word more, her mentor indicated for them to sit. Kiera, Josh and the other wizard obeyed without another sound.


This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

This story from the beginning has you curious about what Morgan wants with Kiera and Josh. But when I find out it’s like oh this is not going to be good.  We I am not talking about the story it is about what he is going to ask them to do.  Hayden joins in on the meeting and man does he turn Kiera into hot wet willing women.  I thing anyone would if they met a hot sexy man.
Once they agree to what Morgan wants them to do (sorry not giving plot away) they end up being shot at and have a bounty on their heads. They are witches and wizards so magic plays a big role. They did what they thought was best so evil could not be leashed.
Will Josh, Kiera and Hayden survive the people that are after them?  Will Kiera and Hayden have a life together when this is all over? Only time will tell.  You have to read this book to find out.
It is a great book in a great series….
