| Jacquelyn Frank - Drink of Me Drink of Me by Jacquelyn Frank In a world where emotion can be a deadly weapon, one slight, battered runaway holds the key to a dark and twisted enigma..."Drink Of Me", she whispers, her silver eyes trusting, pleading. What female dares speak such words to one of the Sange? His people are scorned by every race for their fierce sensuality, their fearful rituals. And as Prime, Reule is the most telepathically gifted of them all. But nothing has prepared him for the intensity of emotion radiating from the outlander rescued by his Pack. Terrified, tormented, but beautiful beyond measure, Mystique shatters his legendary control. As she reaches for him in the steamy heat of the healing baths, he knows this blind need can have but one end... التعديل الأخير تم بواسطة Moor Atia ; 09-04-16 الساعة 01:04 AM | ||||||||||||

| I can't even think of where to start this review other than by saying, 'Absolutely fantastic!' Jacquelyn Frank has created a palpable world with such strong elements and diverse, multi-layered characters so descriptively written, they seemed to blur the line between reality and fiction. It's a journey of self as an individual and amongst others, both familiar and not. I was left wanting to know more about these characters, their world, and what's to come. Jacquelyn Frank has me hooked on the new world found in 'Drink of Me'. Anyone who knows me as a reviewer will understand what drives me to really appreciating a great book: I am a character-driven book lover who thrives on strong romance, description, and strong world-building. I love details to jump of the pages and steal me away into a make believe world, yet make me feel like it could be tangible. In Drink of Me, I found all the things I love in the above elements that make a good book for me. Prime Reule has always been composed, level-headed, and fantastically responsible when it comes to ruling his people. So much so that he has little time nor concern with finding a Prima, and is even emotionally closed off towards female companions, leaving his people to wonder when he would, if ever, take one. The ultimate leader in poise and responsibility, with the air of dominance and confidence admired and respected by all. A leader who saved his people from possible death, and keeps them safe and closed off from all the other species that inhabit the fantasy world his clan inhabits. His species is feared, shunned, look down upon, based on their biological needs, make-up, and rituals. But when a small outlander, different in appearance, personality, and psychic gifts, falls into his hands to shelter and keep safe, Reule knows that everything has changed, for both himself and his people. The protagonists are nothing short of spectacular! The dynamic shifts of emotions and growth of character is breathtakingly beautiful to watch unfold in this unique fantasy world. The Sange are a species that keep to themselves. They know they're different and held aloft by other species of their world. But the ability of a small outlander shifts the outlook on all the Sange has held firmly in place to assure themselves safety. There is a catch, however. This small woman who was found lost and severely injured has no memory of who or what she is. She only knows that her Sange rescuer, Reule, is safety personified, and whispers the deeply meaningful words only known by the Sange species themselves: "Sange, drink of me". It is within that moment that Reule knows there is mystery in his arms worth unraveling. Earning the small woman her relevant name, Mystique. Mystique may have no memory, but she knows some important things by instincts. This makes her a curiosity and an anomaly among Reule and his Pack. Despite leery eyes watching her from a distance, through her strength and determination, intelligence, unique extinct healing gifts, and empathy, she slowly wins over the dominant protective men of the Pack, including their Prime. The heroine and hero are amazingly wrote. Both display characteristics that fit the dynamics of their personalities, species, and roles perfectly. And their relationship is ultra heated! You can just sense how much they want each other, are drawn to one another, and know that they can ultimately find themselves in one another. And when they do give in to their desires, hold on! The secondary characters are just as wonderfully written. They are woven throughout the story with purpose and with just as deep meaningful presence as the hero and heroine. I already have a few of my favorites and am anxiously awaiting Ms. Frank to say she plans on writing follow up books with them as lead characters! Ms. Frank has created a world that seems to subtly grip you. At first you are unaware of a fantasy world presence, but it's slowly reveled as needed as the storyline progresses. The pace is perfect, filled with action and emotion. There is an undeniable strong romance and passion taking place between Reule and Mystique, and you can only follow it, subconsciously losing yourself in the pages. ~*~Final Thoughts~*~ I obviously can't say enough about just how much I enjoyed this new fantasy world, and the seemingly tangible romance between the two lead characters. They accept each other unconditionally, despite faults and lack of knowledge of each other and their differences within species. It is action packed and will leave you flipping through the pages quickly to find out what's next. Both plot and character-driven readers will appreciate the beginning of this new fantasy series, with new species dynamics, strong character development, and action-driven plot. And, of course, anyone who appreciates a great story with warrior, dominate males, will be thankful for all sorts of yumminess! | |||||||||||
