Bianca D'Arc continues with her Resonance Mates series bringing the readers forward 16 years. The O'Hara's daughter, Callie, is now full grown and she meets one of the Alvian aliens, Davin. Davin isn't like the other aliens who have taken over the planet Earth. He feels emotions that the other aliens do not and because of his differences he lives his life in danger from his own kind. Although he is basically an outcast, he is in a very high ranking position. Leaving his work base he travels to where the few humans still live in hopes of finding his true mate or risk going mad.

 

When he finds Callie, his Resonance Mate, she is too young for him, but just being able to communicate with her until she gets older is all he needs to keep his mind sane. Years go by and finally he has his chance to be with the mate he has fallen in love with.

 

In the mean time, human, Rick St. John, has been hiding out in the mountains with his father until the aliens come and hold him captive. He is sent to be experimented on with the rest of the humans that are captured. While being held in the underground prisons, he becomes a leader working for better treatment for the humans being held by the aliens.

 

When Rick meets Callie and Davin, Davin realizes that Rick is also Callie's Resonance mate. Can the three of them come to terms with what this means and at the same time stay one step ahead of the enemies who want to kill Davin?

 

This is a wonderfully originally written science fiction novel. I love Bianca's imagination and where it takes her in this love story. While this book has several well crafted erotic scenes, they're almost seem secondary to the story at large about the new world that is being created in the story. It is a good read with detailed characters and crafty story line.

 

Description:

Which man will Callie choose, the alien or the warrior? Or can she have both?

 

For each Alvian, there is one perfect match—a Resonance Mate whose soul blends in perfect harmony. Unlike the rest of his race, Davin has emotions and suffers for it. Without a mate, he is doomed to go mad. Searching for answers and understanding, he seeks out Callie O'Hara, a human woman with strong empathic gifts. Could this fragile human be his Resonance Mate?

 

Rick St. John is a tough-as-nails survivor of the Alvian occupation of Earth. He doesn't believe in much, but when he sees Callie for the first time, he starts to believe in love at first sight.

 

The Governing Council is gunning for Davin, the upstart who dares to defy them. And they'll kill anyone who gets in their way. Davin and Rick must come to terms with their feelings for Callie in order to keep her safe, while she has to find a way to save them both. . .with her love.

 

Lords of the Were

Author: Bianca D'Arc

ISBN: 978-1599983516

Genre: Paranormal

 

4 Hearts

 

Tim and Rafe are werewolf twins who are in charge of the entire were community in this hemisphere. When they are sent an invitation to consecrate the new priestess on Halloween they come to give their approval support of the young woman.

 

Allie had thought that all her family had died with her parents years before. As she comes of age she is approached by the reining high priestess of the region telling her that she is the new priestess and that she must participate in a special ceremony. Allie doesn't realize that there are were creatures, magical beings and vampires in the world and she isn't sure what to make of this whole priestess business.

 

She has a lot to learn and the best and the worst is yet to come as she finds herself mated to two gorgeous werewolf alphas and that she has a great enemy who wants to see her dead. It is Tim and Rafe's job to protect their mate, but Allie won't let them be the only one doing the protecting.

 

Were Lords is a complex story that brings together magical mages, werewolves (as well as other were varieties) and vampires. It is the classic story of good and evil with strong alpha males, feisty heroic females and a lot of great steamy sex scenes. Be prepared for a few dominance games and some bondage.

 

Description:

Fulfilling her mother's dying wish, Allie climbs a wooded hill just before midnight on Samhain-All Hallow's Eve. At the top, she finds an overgrown, magical stone circle, and her destiny. Waiting for her there are twin alpha werewolves who will be her sworn protectors, her mentorsÉand the loves of her life. If she lives long enough.

 

Overprotective is just one word to describe Rafe and Tim. Sexy is most definitely another. But their newfound love and all their skills-both mundane and magical-will be tested by an ancient evil. A hostile human mage and a misguided vampire hunt them, servants to secret plans of the ancient Venifucus, a society dedicated to destroying women like Allie.

 

They will earn unlikely allies, including a half-fey knight imprisoned Underhill for centuries, but will it be enough to battle the evil that stalks them? Will Allie's men be strong enough to let her aid them in her own defense? Only together can were, fey and vampire defeat this latest threat and learn that love does truly conquer all.

The series tells the story about a group of knights fighting at their borders to keep an evil empire from claiming their land.

Lucia, born a lady in a foreign land, now waits tables for her keep. When she sees Sir Reynor wasting away, she storms the Castle Lair seeking help for the dying dragon. What she finds is a dashing rogue, a mighty dragoness, and a contrite knight who blames himself for his dragon partner's injury.

Marcus is enchanted by the foreign beauty and intrigued by her mission. Few women will go near dragons and fewer still can communicate with them. Marcus recognizes Lucia for the treasure she is and knows she is meant for him. . . and for Kaden.

Kaden is wracked with guilt over the injury that has grounded the dragon-possibly forever. He knows Lucia is special, and he wants her. Lucia just might be the missing piece they all need to form a family. But with Reynor unable to fly, how can any of them be happy?

To make this family whole, they need a miracle. And love-the greatest miracle of all.
