Book Excerpt

Sienna put a hand on Archer’s arm. “I’m going to find Warrick and get him to talk to me so we can go home.”

Archer responded by sliding both hands behind her lower back and pulling her tighter against him so that her body was flush against his. She gasped at the sudden close contact and the intensity of his grip on her and tried to pull back to see his expression.

“Just a minute more,” he whispered in her ear, keeping her in place as they swayed to the music. Her body shivered in response, his breathy words scattering her thoughts in an instant.

“Careful, Archer, any closer and people will start thinking I’m your woman.”

“You are my woman.”

She’d meant to tease him, to ease the sudden possessive grip he had on her, but when his mouth edged towards hers, the gentle scrape of his lips against her skin and his whispered words ripped a soft shudder through her.

“No.”

“Not yet. In time, you will be.”

She smiled against him. “Confident tonight, are you?”

“I call it like I see it.” His fingers toyed with the seam of her dress at her lower back, and his lips hovered dangerously close to hers.

“You know we can’t.”

“I’m not in the mood to please The Circle right now and besides, some of the best things in life are the things that are forbidden.”

“What are we, Adam and Eve?”

His face softened in a breathtaking grin and in a gentle movement, he released her, twirled her around, and drew her back to cradle her in a possessive hold that enthralled rather than annoyed her.

She longed to throw caution to the wind and kiss him, take what he offered, and lose herself in this gorgeous man. Screw the consequences.

Instead, she opted for the safe route. “Stop it, Archer.”

“Scared to admit the truth?”

“No.”

“Liar,” he breathed against her lips before pulling back.

She blinked, trying to ignore the flash of desire that raced through her body and pretend her senses hadn’t just been overrun by pure male sexiness.

Wow.

“I should go,” she said, needing some distance between them. After all, she was here for a reason and it wasn’t to spend the night in Archer’s arms – on the dance floor or otherwise.

The silent motion of his head agreed with her, but she could see that he was worried.

She didn’t blame him. Beneath her cool façade, even she was worried.

But she had a plan. One she wouldn’t share with her Keepers just yet.

And she hoped to hell it worked.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala

Sienna is a Beckham witch, the most powerful line of witches. She is a rarity, in that she can control all four elements. With her power, she is entrusted into the protection of four keepers. The Bennett siblings have been Sienna’s keepers since the death of their parents. Archer, Declan, Ethan and Sarah protected Sienna after her parents were killed by a rival witch family, The Brogans. The Brogan brothers tried to continue what their parents started, one brother, Mason, was trapped in an underground tome where he stays. The other, Warrick, attacked the Bennetts after the spell was cast trapping his brother, killing Sarah as she protected her brother Declan. Sienna, devastated from watching Sarah die, calls on her powers and those of the Bennetts to fight Warrick. She almost kills the remaining keepers. With guilt and sadness, she runs from her heritage and seekers hiding away for two years.

Now Warrick is back and has marked Sienna. He is after her and will stop at nothing to get to her. She has to go back home and face her past while remaining under the protection of her keepers. They have to work together to stop Warrick and keep Sienna safe. Sienna also tries to fight her feelings for Archer, relationships between seekers and their witches is forbidden.

As Warrick threatens, Sienna and Archer are unable to fight their feelings. Both know life is short and they throw caution to the wind. They will need their trust and strength to make it through what Warrick has planned for Sienna and her seekers.

The story was an interesting one. I like the thought behind the plot. However I think the main character, Sienna, annoyed me too much to really like the story as a whole. She was too stubborn and weak in my opinion. If I can’t like the main character, I really struggle to get through the book. This was the case here. I would give it 3 out of 5 as a rating.
