ORENDA by Ruth Silver

a Young Adult Fantasy Adventure series

published by Patchwork Press

Join forces with a parallel universe.

Dark forces, magical creatures, and the world Lil thought she knew collide when a dream transports her to the strange world of Orenda. Stunned and terrified, Lil comes face to face with her doppelganger, Willow, who possesses the ability to travel between the two worlds. Everything Lil knows logically says that Orenda can't exist, but a small clue may be proof that it was more than an ordinary dream. With the threat of her younger sister in danger, Lil crosses dimensions but it may cost her even more than she bargained for.

A sword wielding girl, the eternal suit, and a parallel universe come together in this action-packed Young Adult fantasy adventure that will keep readers of all ages turning the pages. Orenda is the first novel in the Orenda series.

Excerpt:

Lil stood firm, sword-in-hand, staring at the beast as it flew directly at her. “How do I kill it?” She raised the sword above her head with two hands.

Hudson glanced at her. “With what we taught you. The dragon is no different than a man.”

“It has wings and is flying at me. I’d say it’s different!”

Daring Dane is part of the Intoxicating Passion novella series. It’s the third book and an enjoyable read.

Dane is a hot frat playboy who has issues with women. Period. He’s a male whore. End of story. However, Korah who is in one of his classes, rocks his world. She’s not like all the other panty dropping girls he’s accustomed to. She’s different. When he finally gains her trust, he does the ultimate ass monkey mistake. After they have sex, he sneaks out of Korah’s house when she’s asleep and totally bails on her.

I wanted to slap him for crushing Korah’s heart like that.

Dumbass.

In the third installment to this novella series, Korah feels like an idiot for falling for Dane’s charms. But when her past rolls into her life, blindsiding her, she has no choice but to call Dane for help. He comes to her aid without question. Korah is ashamed and embarrassed to involve Dane into her unfortunate circumstances, but she has no choice. Dane wants a second chance with her, but he lost her trust and now has to suffer the consequences.

Dane is a total wreck without Korah. He begins to do some self-evaluation on why he behaves the way he does towards women. His behavior stems from his childhood. He acknowledges it and realizes his feelings for Korah are genuine.

He loves her.

Korah has feelings for Dane; however, he blew his chances the night he walked out on her. Now he has to prove himself to her in order to gain her trust back.

Will Dane be able to win Korah’s heart?

I think he will, but I won't know until the next book in this novella series comes out, which I’m looking forward to reading.
