Contemporary, Paranormal Romance, m/m

Tobias Thorn doesn’t think twice when he sees a hooded figure abducting a young girl and races to her rescue.  Unfortunately he isn’t quick enough to stop it.  The next thing Tobias knows he is in a cavernous room and he is bound hand and foot to an equally huge bed.  His chances of escape are looking very slim.

Tobias is determined to find his way home as he is not a man to take things lying down.  Then he meets his abductor and quickly realizes that things aren’t as simple as he thought.  Tobias is now in a world that is unlike anything he has ever known before.  There is only one way to get his freedom and that is by making a bargain with the beast. 

This is the first story of a series that makes for an interesting read.  This story ends on a kind of cliff hanger that actually manages to work well overall. It will also have reader promptly wanting to read the next book to see just where this is going and what will happen next.  The characters are complex and in some cases mysterious.  They make for a story that is very hard to put down and fortunately it is a short story so it proves to be a very fast read.  For readers of this genre this is one to check out.  It will also have readers wanting to read other books by this author. 

I give this one 4-1/2 Red Roses
