To anyone else, the
graveyard amounted to nothing more than a compilation of various intricately
carved headstones that offered a glimpse into other’s past lives. But to
Katlyn, it all appeared dark and ominous. She instantly yearned to leave. As
the two moved from headstone to headstone searching for Houston’s grave, chills
raced across her skin. She purposefully neglected to inform James of her
“clan’s” sensitive nature. She and Margaret were the most sensitive of them
all. She didn’t know why, but it had been generations since any like them had
been born…at least that is what her father had told her. But such things could
not be discussed with outsiders…ever. It was a part of the old way woven into
her being from the beginning. It truly was the only part of the old way that
she couldn’t release herself from. The feelings that raced through her ranged
from hatred to long lost love. She knew for a fact these were the feelings
carried by each and every soul around her. The weight of the night pressed in
on her as though she had been placed in a small, shrinking room. If she didn’t
leave soon, it would quickly overwhelm her.
“Ok, James, let’s part ways
so we can find it quicker,” she suggested rubbing her arms.
“And leave such a delectable
treat all on her own? I don’t know about that.”
“Come on…it will be
quicker.”
“You’re right…good idea. The
quicker we find him the quicker we
can get back to the parlor.”
“No, I don’t think so. The
quicker I can get back to my parlor.
I’m afraid we must say goodbye for the night when finished, my friend.”
James understood this as a
dismissal but it didn’t faze him. So what if he couldn’t make her his tonight?
There was time…he would woo her…seduce her…until she gave in and he claimed her
for his own. With all previous guilt now eliminated, he fully embraced the
growing desire to have her…heart, body, and soul. He smiled with secret
anticipation but instead replied, “Pity…well shoulda brought a lamp instead of
relying on the moon. Sorry. Are you cold? That gown is somewhat revealing in
the um…neckline area.”
“Mind your own business,
cowboy,” she snapped with growing discomfort as she kicked dirt onto his
boots.
James laughed heartily,
shook each foot then moved away.
Katlyn really had no
intention of searching for his brother’s grave. She would head right back to
where she had come from as soon as James left her sight…and now he was gone.
Carefully, she worked her way back. The feelings pressed harder in on her
almost suffocating. Where is the
entrance? It hadn’t taken this long to come in.

Review:
Elemental Seduction-The Dance
by McKinzie S. Heart
Rebecca’s had a
horrible marriage. Though the divorce isn’t finalized, she has put as much
distance between her and her husband as she could. She’s forlornly alone but
safe. As she spends yet another night alone in her grandparents’ old farmhouse,
strange unexplainable things begin to happen. Has Charles tracked her down or
is it some unknown intruder setting her up? And what are these whispers that
she’s now hearing? Are they real or in her mind? While she tries to sort out
everything as it happens, she has no idea how much is at stake. Not only is her
life in jeopardy, but she may very well lose her heart and soul. But that is
exactly what might have to happen for her to give in to The Dance.
This was one very fantastic well written book! The storyline
was one that was full of surprises and the characters were so well developed.
McKenzie S. Heart has a way of pulling her readers into the story and not
letting them take time to look away because they may miss something. The way
she brought the element of wind into play was so fantastic. About time some one
knows what power the elements can have on a person and how one person can
connects to one particular element.
Rebecca was running from her crazy x-husband and she thought
she had done a great job of it until he showed up in her house in the middle of
the night threatening to kill her. She wasn’t sure what she was going to do so
in order to get away from him, she ran outside into the wind. The wind is what
saved her that night. She found out that the one thing that was protecting her
and making her feel so loved all her life wasn’t a person but something
stronger than she would ever realize.
By the end of this book, I had tears streaming down my eyes.
The ending is a tear jerker for me but it’s such a beautiful story that I
welcomed the tears. I know a book is really good when it provokes strong
emotions from me and stays with me for days instead of leaving after I finish
the book. Thank you so much McKenzie S. Heart for bringing such a beautiful
story to life because this story will stay with me for a very long time. Such
beautiful detail and the way everything came together in the end. Grab a copy
because you are missing a great story if you don’t read this right now.
