Fall, book #3 of the Senses Series (by Cindy Paterson)


Happy release day, Cindy!

Today, paranormal author Cindy Paterson releases her third book in her Senses series, Fall

Cindy hired me to edit this book for her. That's not an eventful thing, but the way Cindy found me and her dedication to her craft is. 

Ravishing Romances' blog sister, Ms. Romantic Reads, has read Cindy since the beginning. When Cindy went on the search for a new editor Ms. Romantic Reads recommended me--before I even started my freelance business. The Romantic Editor's website was still being developed.

Cindy and I hit it off and we've been attached at the hip ever since. Thank God. Because she's an amazing author who is more dedicated to her craft than some people are dedicated to their families. 

She emailed me once saying, "I want this book to be my best yet" and she has busted her ass to get it there. She's done at least two (three?) deep content revisions. She has spent countless 15-hour days in her computer chair and has exchanged over 458 emails with me about this book alone

Cindy is the author every editor dreams to work with and she was my very first. 

Congratulations Cindy. Fall is amazing. I love it and have read it countless times. We can't guarantee all readers will vow their souls to this series like we have, but I can vouch for you and say you tried to give them a book that's worth it. 
Happy release day!

Love,
Kristin Anders




Blurb
“He’s destroying me—us. I need him like my next breath, yet I’m suffocating.”

An unrequited love that has ripped her to pieces.

Delara has loved Waleron for over a century. Their intense chemistry is sensual, gripping, irresistible. But tragedy struck, and after sixty-one years of believing he was dead, Waleron returns a tortured man. He claims the man she loves is dead, yet the undeniable sexual tension still pulls them together.

“I am no longer the man you love, maitagarri. I am incapable of it.”

Waleron has given his oath to protect the Senses. He will sacrifice everything for them. But there is one Senses he has vowed to protect more than any other—Delara. He will do anything to make certain she is safe, even if it means he must deny her the love they once shared.
She is the hunted.
Delara’s life is in jeopardy and Waleron will do anything to protect her. But he never suspected that Xamien, the man he brings to help protect her is way more important to her than he ever knew.

Torn between two men and hunted by another, Delara must fight her hardest battle—herself.


Fall can be read as a Stand-alone. This book is intended for 18 and up.

In book three of the Ash Grove Chronicles, just hours after Joy and Tanner's daughter is born, Tanner finds himself in a world where Joy doesn't know him and their baby doesn't exist. But when he thinks he has found the source of the magic that has undone reality, a heartsore Maddie makes a wish that alters history even further. With time now growing short for Tanner, he must try to win Joy's trust and convince her that they have a future together--even though their past has vanished.

This thrilling sequel to The Shadow and the Rose and Casting Shadows will keep readers guessing as it races toward its astonishing conclusion.

Review

If you enjoy good paranormal romances, you will find Among the Shadows by accomplished author Amanda DeWees, outstanding. This was so clever, so twisty and so riveting, that it kept me completely transfixed from cover to cover.

The story picks up a soon after the conclusion of Casting Shadows, with the birth of Rose Sumner. Within a page, it was clear that something was not right. Everything that seemed real in gorgeous Tanner Sumner’s life, suddenly didn’t exist. His wife, Joy, and their newborn baby Rose, had vanished. Sadly, for Tanner, his life as he knew it, was not only shifting like sand between fingers, but was also at high risk of being simply erased.

The ramifications of Dr Steven Sumner’s decision to alter time, and bring back his dead wife, caused multitudes of ripple effects, and with each attempt to ‘fix’ this error, reality continued to swing. All the characters’ lives were altering, but shifting the focus from Joy to Maddie’s viewpoint, was an excellent tool to help tell this story. I liked how vital Maddie’s role therefore, became.

Due to the ingenious imagination of Ms DeWees, nothing was simple at Ash Grove in this book. Incorporating magic and alternate realities, nefarious plots with just as equally cunning characters, Among the Shadows was brilliant. You will be kept on your toes trying to adjust each occasion time and reality shifts, and desperate to know the ending! Her ability to create strong, likeable characters, captivating storyline with enchanting romance, interspersed with splashes of well placed humor, was what made this book so incredible. An extremely delicious feast for lovers of Paranormal Romance.
