Original, Suspenseful, Heart Pounding, Romance at its finest… I want book two NOW!

Darkest Caress by Kaylea Cross is the first book in the Empowered Series and I would read a second book from this author. I love the way Cross-writes, its slow building with an explosive end. Her characters are loving, funny and enduring. Her world building seam effortless yet, fascinating… I can’t wait to find out more about the two remaining Empowered males and their mates… Hints on whose book is next… Cade, I loved him in this first installment and I think Cross-is going to make us fall in love and scorch Cade in our memories for a very long time…  I know I am still swooning over Daegan *** Faints***

Darkest Caress is an adult PNR hub on a race called the Empowered. An olden race that originated from Lithuania & Baltic Sea area. They have some kind of power, and gain healing from the sea, which is while their race purchase houses with ocean front view.

Olivia Farrow, a real estate agent is about to get a big break, she is showing a huge property…  to a dashing young male…

Daegan Blackwell, AKA the current Coven Leader for the Empowered, is looking to relocate and he needs a fortress for him and his brothers. Except when he arrived at the property, he meets the agent, only to find out that she is his mate plus, Olivia doesn’t even know what she is or anything about their race.

Daegan wasn’t pleased… A war is coming; The Dark Army led by the Obsidian Lord AKA former Coven Leader is at a rampage and is brother is at the verge of turning rogue! Daegan, doesn’t have the time to take thing slow and teach Olivia about there ways… Oh… but he did. It was truly an amazing story laced with action, suspense and heart racing romance.

Darkest Caress is bursting with mesmerizing fables about Lithuanian mythology. It was beyond doubt an exceptional history… and something different. Cross’s writing and story telling is alluring and her characters are well developed and unforgettable. For the rest… Suspense? Sex? Romance? Super Intense! I really liked it.
