Book Description:
They outlive
the mortals of this realm by thousands of years, and when it comes to love the
cruel fact is reinforced. Reincarnation doesn't exist on this plane. They lose
their wives to death with no hope of reuniting. Yet they continue to accept
others for whatever time they have together. Save for Cole. His love for his
last wife still burns in his soul four centuries after her death.
When the
service they render to the noblemen of Cornerstone Deep brings him face to face
with Anna, something unexpected happens.
In a realm of silent souls, hers calls to him. He responds with a kiss—one that joined with
the spell of servitude she inhaled, binds her soul.
Breaking
ancient covenants, angering the lords, and bringing the gods' wrath upon him,
Cole tries desperately to undo his wrong and free his love—despite the
determination of the nobleman to keep her.

soul.”
My Review:
This review is difficult one f or me to write. The premise of the story is completely different than anything else that I have read. The Shilo brothers were interesting and often humorous in their bantering. I liked that the brothers though they sometimes disagreed were there for each other. The other did an excellent job of character development, you really feel like you know the characters. It seems as if this series is set up to each focus on one brother, and this story is about Cole and his soul mate Anna.
Anna has been taken against her will, in more ways than one, and that is the part of the story that was a little uncomfortable to read. The man who has taken her is pretty slimy in my opinion, and Anna, who is stuck in this position because her mind has been tampered with, doesn't know any better. It makes for a struggle on Cole's part to win Anna back.
There are some sex scenes in this book, which other than the one referenced in the above paragraph, are pretty steamy.
If you are looking for a very different concept for a story, and can get past the issue of force, I think you will really like the book. As I said, without giving the plot away, the paranormal aspect to this book is something really different.
