Em Epe's Top Pick for June!
Beyond this World by Celia Jade
Publisher: Eternal Press
Genre: Erotic Paranormal
Summary: Erin is a rational woman. So when she meets a handsome stranger who literally whisks her away to an unearthly place, the only thing that seems real to her is their night of unbridled passion.
My Review: Beyond This World by Celia Jade from Eternal Press met and exceeded my every hope for an 11K book. Even though short in length, the well crafted story was long in depth, character appeal and quality writing. Ms. Jade constructed the anticipation and suspense of entering another world beautifully. Details of all the senses we
re brought out. She included all the small details that made me as the reader; feel as though I was walking down the passage with my newly met love interest.
The heroine of Erin was shown as a real woman with common sense, intelligence and sensuality. Thoughtful in her approach to a stranger but daring enough to see where it would end. Her response to the hero, Jen, was believable without being status quo. With any story, the reader wants to become the heroine and Ms. Jade’s artful descriptions of her feelings, responses and even her mannerisms did exactly that.
The hero of Jen was created with just the right amount of masculinity and finesse. Small touches, wonderful active descriptions turned Jen from an average man to a sought after mate. His banter with Erin came across as natural and added enough intrigue to scroll to the next page.
Culminating their mutual attraction came about as a joining. There was no cajoling or manipulation as too often seen. The sex scenes were sensual, sexual and soulful. The chemistry between Erin and Jen was palpable. The ending made me whine a bit out of selfishness. Not because it lacked anything at all but because, I wanted to follow their growing relationship through to the future. Of course, with any great story, Beyond This World will be a re-read. A brief respite in this reviewer’s day for a beautiful, romantic love story.
If I picked out a change in the story, I would have wanted a little less of secondary character interaction and interruption. With a short story of this length, it was a bit of missed opportunity to give the reader a little more on our heroine and hero. It didn’t detract, nor was it over done but I could have done with less.
I can proudly say that Celia Jade will be on my personal read list. The quality of the writing, the cadence of the story and spot on editing also puts Eternal Press on my list of publishers to read. Completing the final touches of a fantastic package was the book cover by Dawne’ Dominique. It suited the story perfectly.
I recommend not only Beyond This World as a must read but Celia Jade as a must read also. I look forward to any future work by this quality author.
