About The Book:

The Decision is an erotic, paranormal journey of a woman betrayed based off of the Wheel of Fortune Tarot card for eXtasy Books Tarot Series.

What would you do if fate gave you a second chance?

After the ultimate betrayal Jill Burke embarks on a very personal, erotic, paranormal journey.  At the mercy of Lady Tyche and Herr Sehend, the spinners of the wheel of fate, Jill is sent on a quest. During her mission, Jill encounters a myriad of experiences ranging from voyeurism to same sex love to vampires.  The choices she makes on her travels will determine if the end result of her adventure is good or bad.  Either way, Jill is in for the time of her life.

The Review:

Jill Burke, wife and mother, thought she had done well with her life, had kept a nice home for her husband and took care of their daughter. Then she finds out her daughter hates her and her husband has been cheating with his secretary for the past three years. Her life is falling apart around her when she falls into a hole and watches her past fly before her eyes. Jill finds herself standing in front of the Wheel of Fortune, and is offered a quest which will help decide where she will go, if she gives the correct answer she will be rewarded, wrong and she will be punished then and there. Nothing else is really said other then she will know when she gets there what she is to do.

The Decision is a beautifully written story by C.R. Moss, with intuitive scenes that shifted and changed with the character. Right away I fell in love with her main character, Jill Burke, and could feel her disillusion with her life and felt her raw need and emotions throughout her questing. I thought the story was interesting as who hasn’t wished that they could turn back the clock and change certain events. This story is the “what if” game played true as Moss takes her readers on a journey of sexual self-discovery and personal triumph. Truly, as Burke goes through her journey she finds her fortune is best when it isn’t controlled by anyone but herself, and it is only when she takes control of the helm that she is satisfied and loses her regrets and fears. I enjoyed this story and would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in paranormal erotica.

About The Book:

When Calen MacLeod begins having dreams of an ethereal beauty who beckons to him, he passes it off as just having an itch he hasn’t scratched in a long time. But when he leaves on a journey to find her, following the directions she’s given him in his dreams, he begins to doubt his sanity. And when he finds himself high in the Mackinaw Mountains in a secret fortress with unicorns and a pink and white castle, surrounded by women, each one more beautiful than the next, it’s a fantasy no man would want to wake up from. Calen’s life would be perfect, but there’s just one thing standing in his way: a 500 year old demon intent upon destroying Arianna, Calen’s new-found love, and her entire world…

The Review:

When I saw the title to this book, I was slightly interested. It made me think of Queensryche’s song, Silent Lucidity. So with fingers crossed, hoping it would be as haunting, I then braved the blurb.

So the first line had me at hello. Anytime an author mixes ethereal-dream-fantasies, they have hooked me right away. I mean, who doesn’t want to leave stressful realities and take a gander at surreal ones? Dang, if your dream fantasy world is anything like mine then it’s a wonder we are not forcing coma by now. *winks*

So with deep interest, I started reading and I have to say it was very refreshing. Rie McGaha has something that seems lost in many books these days—actual fantasy that we can all relate to and the décor of words to prove it. I can’t see anyone not relating to this story or being able to put themselves in the character’s shoes.

Think about it…if you kept having dreams of someone who acted out some very intense fantasies, and then suddenly you had the chance to have them not just in dream but also for real…well who wouldn’t walk the path of Calen? Here’s to Rie McGaha who gives us fantasy and fairytale elements that adults can chew on!
