Fate’s Wish
Milly Taiden
Etopia Press
The man she loves
left her, but he’s the only one that can protect her. Sharmila is a witch with
a problem. Her magic is waning. And her lack of sex may have something to do
with it. Her mother’s solution? Easy. Sharmila needs to get laid. Easier said
than done, though, because Shar is still in love with the only man to make her
melt, Zahir Darkwrath. Her missing husband. Her demon. Zahir knows he’s a
danger to Shar, so he’s done his best to stay far away. Darkness flows through
his being, and when emotions run wild, destruction rages around him. And sex
with Shar is definitely wild. Staying away from the woman he loves is the
hardest thing he’s ever done, but hurting her would be far worse. So he’s
astounded when Shar’s mother hires his company to watch over her. Evil is
heading Shar’s way, and Zahir is the only one who can stop it. To save her,
Zahir will need more than control; he’ll need the power of his own darkness--which
might be his undoing.
So much is packed into this blurb!
ReplyDeleteThe first line sounds more like a log line and kinda outta place, IMO. Starting with the second line is more of a hook. (Again, IMO.) The single word sentence *Easy.* (Please note, I love one word sentences!) takes the impact away from *Sharmila needs to get laid.* (And who wouldn't want such a sympathetic mom?)
The last bit of free advice (and you get what you pay for) is to maybe break this blurb into paragraphs. Reading one big, blocky book description can be a turn-off to some.
All this said, I'll be looking to download this book. I'm not a avid fan of paranormal, but the obvious conflict between Sharmila and Zahir is too much for me to resist! :)
