[M/M Erotic Romance] The son of the Alarian king and an unknown human woman, Gabriel is forced to live more than half of his life buried in a monastery, under the iron fist and lascivious hands of its superintendent, Lothar. However, things can always get worse. On his 19th birthday Gabriel finds out that he is to be mated to his worst enemy. In despair, he decides to take his own life, but a chance encounter changes the course of his life, uniting him with Lucien, a demon prince. What follows is a tale of impossible love, a journey from despair to rapture, threatened and cursed by secrets of the past and by pain buried but not forgotten. Not only does Lucien have to fight death to save his young lover, but he has to rebel against his parents as well. In a world of prejudice and hatred, can one impossible love survive? "Enraptured started out like a beautiful experiment, something I wrote simply for the pleasure of writing. But as the words continued to flow, it became so much more than that and I found that my thoughts for it could no longer be contained in one book. Somewhere along the way, the characters had taken over and it had turned into a saga." ~ Scarlet ~ A Siren Erotic Romance 42 Ratings

Professional Reviews5 STARS: "First let me warn you. Do not start this book before you go to bed! I learned this the hard way as I was constantly saying one more page, just after this chapter, until I had to force myself to put it down. Needless to say I ended up with very little sleep. I have never read anything by this author, but if this is anything like her other stories I can't wait to read more...The author has done such an excellent job building these characters that you can almost feel Gabriel's pain as he is once again beaten or Lucien's grief over the injuries his brother received long ago. The world in which the story takes place is just as interesting as the characters. After a plague has ravaged the planet, each race suffered a different consequence, whether it was fleeing the planet or losing all their females. As a result alliances are needed to survive; however, not everything is what it seems. While there is a happy for now ending there are many unanswered questions that are sure to be taken care of in the next book. Now we just have to patiently wait and hope we will see what happens soon." -- Lydia, Rainbow Reviews"Enraptured is compelling, unique, and a totally enchanting tale. The characters in Enraptured are fascinating; particularly Gabriel and Lucien who manage to get right under your skin. The passion between all the couples is electric and consuming...I can’t wait to see what happens next in this very intriguing saga. Without question, Gabriel will wrap himself around your heart. Enraptured, the first story in the Kaldor Saga, is wonderfully inventive, smoking hot, and above all memorable." -- Lisa, Joyfully Reviewed ExcerptSTORY EXCERPT
Sighing, he concentrated on his reading once more. His eyes fell on the historical description of the plague that had long ago ravaged their world. He shuddered at the number of deaths recorded. So many people died, of so many different races, that in the end, many decided leaving altogether. Thousands of Alarians, elves, mermen and demons abandoned Kaldor and gone in search of a new home. Many countries were so ravaged that they even decided to change their names after the plague vanished, as a symbol of starting anew. However, by the time this happened, their people already established themselves on Earth, estranged and lost to Kaldor forever. Earth. The world his mother lived in. Gabriel wished he had a book on the geography of Earth, but then again, he wished so many things, most of them connected with a certain demon prince. No! He wouldn't think about Lucien. Angry at himself and at Lucien, he concentrated on the book. He needed to put the platinum blond from his mind. Knocks sounded at the door, interrupting the silence of the room. Who could it be? The servants had already been here today and Gabriel couldn't really imagine who else might want to visit him. Gabriel got up, the book forgotten on the bed. He made his way to the door and opened it without a thought. Ice-blue eyes stared back at him, with perfect eyes on a perfect face. Oh Light above, Lucien! Gabriel froze, not knowing what to do or say. "Hello, Prince Gabriel. I wanted to apologize for the other day. I was extremely cruel and rude, and" Lucien paused as if looking for words. Gabriel just stood there in shock, unable to speak. Lucien wanted to apologize? Lucien continued, "I was worried when you didn't come down today. I wanted to speak to you, apologize. But when you weren't there, I" He paused again, obviously waiting for some sort of response. Say something, say something! Gabriel, say something! Gabriel willed his body to move and his mouth to open, barely managing to stutter out, "That's um ok. I'm fine. It wasn't necessary. I had no business being there in the first place, following you around like that." Gabriel's eyes widened as he realized what he'd just said. Lucien looked away from Gabriel, seeming vaguely embarrassed. "Right, about that. I sort of knew you were doing it, following me around that is. It was driving me crazy, which is why I did what I did, the blowjob and all. And again, I apologize because" Gabriel didn't even bother to listen to Lucien's final words, slamming the door in his face. Lucien knew he was being stalked! Gabriel was such a nuisance that Lucien resorted to pushing him away in such a humiliating manner. He'd been so stupid! Who else knew? Cade, for certain, the red-headed demon and probably the other Xeetah knew as well. Gabriel collapsed on the floor, feeling like the worst idiot on Kaldor. Of course they'd known. They were trained soldiers, the elite of a nation of warriors. How they must have laughed! And Lucien, he felt irritated because of Gabriel's unwanted insistence. "It was driving me crazy" Lucien said. Tears sprung from Gabriel's eyes as the embarrassment hit him even harder than before. In that moment, he hated Lucien for humiliating him so cruelly. He hated his redheaded friend for touching Lucien when Gabriel could not. And more than everything, he hated himself for still loving Lucien in spite of all the resentment and the pain in his heart. * * * * Lucien watched in horror as Gabriel slammed the door in his face. The sound of hushed sobs sounded from the room until they dissolved into sniffling and then silence. Lucien cursed. He'd never meant to hurt Gabriel, but he never knew what to say. When he looked into those big midnight black eyes, all coherent thought flew out of his head. "Nice going, little bro. You're a real genius at romance." Cade clapped sarcastically, making Lucien feel even worse about his failure. "Cade, come on! How was I supposed to know he would react like that? I was only trying to be honest." Cade practically snapped at him, his anger making his eyes briefly flash red. "How were you supposed to know? How did you think he would to react when you told him that thing from the stables was planned because his presence annoyed you?" He actually said that? Shit, shit, shit. "I didn't actually think," Lucien finally admitted. "When I look at him, it's like my brain stops working. I can't explain it." Cade finally sighed tiredly. When he spoke again, it was with brotherly affection and understanding. "Little bro, you're hopeless. You've got it bad." Lucien nodded miserably. "And to think you were actually planning to let this one go." For the second time that day, Lucien bowed his head in defeat. "I think this time I have to. Listen to him in there. I totally fucked up." Cade grabbed him roughly. "No, you don't. No brother of mine backs down from a fight. You're going back to him and fixing everything if it's the last thing you do!"
"Please do. Touch them." His demon prince said and Gabriel barely contained his glee as he got up and took a few steps towards Lucien's position. He extended his hand, gently petting the demon wings. They felt soft to the touch, yet strong and leathery, powerful, yet protective. It was actually kind of strange that he didn't do this until now, but his hands were mostly occupied with something else.
