Kasey is a woman that
exudes energy and brightness; she is as equally passionate when angry as she is
when she’s happy. The energy she carries from life comes through in all her
magical workings with spells and stones, giving them great magical strength.
She is a dreamer and often wishes she could re-write her own story so that she
was charming and sophisticated enough to be with a certain wealthy male lawyer
she wants more than anything else.
Chris is a force of
strength and experience that is carefully hidden behind the easy mannerism he
has adapted so carefully. There is
nothing he cannot do where magic is concerned and he has tried all manner of
things, whether right or wrong. His
fortune has left him wanting for nothing else in life, except the one thing
money can’t buy him, the woman he feels too unclean to approach.
Separated by two
different life styles yet their passion and magic ignite sparks hotter than the
Solstice heat.
Can they work out a way
to be together as they try to stop a killer from striking again?
Author's favorite excerpt:
Chris came out of his
library to see the three men sitting in his living room. He paused and looked around. “Did I forget about a meeting?” Where were the women? “Where is everyone else?”
Dade leaned forward and rested his elbows on his
legs. “We were instructed they were
coming here after work and they have been locked in your little magic broom
closet for the last hour.”
Chris raised his eyebrows. “Doing?”
Owen lifted his hands.
“Won’t say.”
Steven slumped down, wishing for a nap. “They’re not too pleased being driven to and
from work.”
“I see.” Chris
turned and started down the hall. “Let’s
see what they’re up to.”
The men
got up and followed him.
He tried
the doorknob to find it locked. “Kase,
unlock the door.”
“Soon.” She called to him through the door.
He stood there glaring at the door. They’d locked him out of his own room in his
own home! We’ll see about this. He stepped back and slapped and invisible
command at the door.
Sparks
flew off it and the door remained closed.
“What the…”
Dade grinned.
“Quite the little witch you have there Larkin.”
Steven whistled out a breath. “Just how much trouble can they get into with
all your stuff in there?”
Chris still scowled at the door while he answered. “A lot!”
He tapped the door with his hand.
“Kassandra unlock the door.”
A gentle
breeze blew over all four of them.
“That would be a polite no.” Dade said quietly.
“Like hell, I’ll be locked out of my own temple room.” Chris
hissed. Stepping back he stared at the
door, the handle shook. When he thought
it was going to open it started to pour rain on the four of them. He waved a hand to stop it and looked at the
men beside him. Dade’s long hair was
soaked and the expression on his face was similar to how he himself was feeling
about the whole thing.
“And that would be a mind your own business.” Owen said
sticking his hands in his pockets.
Chris looked at Steven.
“You have any ideas?”
Steven shook his head trying to get the water to stop
dripping in his face then took a step away from the door. “Oh no. I’m plenty happy enough to wait until
it opens on it’s own. You might like
lighting striking you but I’m not too open to trying that.”
Chris shook his head.
“Are you all afraid of them?”
Dade nodded. “I’ve
seen what each one can do alone – especially your little innocent there my
friend; the four of them together scare the hell out of me.”
Chris sighed and looked back at the door. “Kasey?”
“Yes Christopher?”
Her voice came through the door again.
“You’re making me angry and I don’t want to do something
I’ve promised you I wouldn’t.”
A wind
breeze ruffled his hair. “I know you
won’t Chris. Now go away I’m trying to
concentrate here.”
His jaw
dropped. Sighing he looked at the
others. “Beer?” They nodded and followed
him down the hallway.
“Seems
you’re a bit afraid of their wrath too councilor.” Dade mumbled behind him.
“Shut
up.” Chris growled and walked into the
kitchen.
What they're saying about the book:
I have come to love all books by Jacqueline Paige. She is definitely a new favorite author. Her books are charming, intriguing, spicy (in all the right ways), and good reads.
~Books, Books and More Books~
Solstice Heat is a thrilling ride of intrigue, love and magic. The descriptions made me feel as if I were sitting right there in the story with the characters, and the unsolved mystery of murder left me chomping at the bit for the next book in the series. Solstice Heat is an exciting story of love with just the right amount of sex and witchcraft to capture your interest until the very last page --
