The Mercenary (Review)

The MercenaryThe Mercenary by Cornelia Grey

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is a wonderful read. Short at less than 67 pgs. the author managed a well written story. Saved only by chance when he comes under attack, Asher is invited to join Gabriel on his journey home with the incentive that Asher's damaged arm (think Will Smith in I, Robot) will be repaired.



Once there, Asher discovers that this little home town has some secrets-with Gabriel at the center of them. His interest is piqued and so he finds himself trying to discover just what is going on; especially when his feelings for Gabriel seem to be turning into something deeper than just simple lust.



Then his fears turn into reality and he must find a way to save Gabriel before it's too late.



I truly loved Gabriel; this is a young man who can take care of himself...and Asher exceedingly well. He is an adrenaline junkie, a capable fighter, and someone who does what he needs to in order to save his people. He has an explosive chemistry w/Asher; their sex scenes are scorching (insert nosebleed here), and their relationship-while not defined, felt that it had the beginnings of something more.

But as much as I loved the guys, my hero is Athena-she is so cute and very brave.



Definitely will look forward to more from this author.
