JAGGED  GIFT

copyright Nikki Soarde, 2005

A dark, edgy Romantic Suspense novel available in e-book and paperback formats from Ellora's Cave.

 

Race Kendall knows monsters. But not the monsters of horror flicks or the imaginary beasts that lurk beneath children’s beds. He knows real monsters—men who walk among us, men who stalk the weak and vulnerable. Men who prey upon women.

Race has spent his life seeking out such monsters. He hunts the hunters—and he destroys them. He is a man driven, but no matter how many monsters he defeats, nothing can purge the demons that haunt his own soul. Race wants to find love and he wants to build a family, but his past and his secrets prevent him from finding happiness.

And then he meets Candra Brandt.

From the first moment Candra sees Race she can sense his pain, and as a professional therapist and sexual surrogate she believes that she can help him. In fact she needs to help him in ways so deep she can barely fathom.

But Race’s healing comes at a price, a price neither of them may be able to afford to pay. It could cost them everything.

It could cost them their very lives.

Reviews

FIVE unicorns from Enchanted in Romance: This is more then an erotic book. This is a masterpiece of romantic suspense/paranormal. The story is very well developed and intense. I wouldn't recommend this for the very light at heart. This is dark and very emotionally driven and draining. I feel honored to have been able to read this. If you love tragic or tortured heroes and strong willed, intelligent woman, this story will NOT disappoint you. It is all that and more. ~ Anita, Enchanted in Romance

FOUR hearts from The Romance Studio:  Race is mysterious with a dark side that will have readers wondering just who and what he really is. Candra is determined to help Race in any way necessary; of course she wasn't expecting her feelings to go beyond professional. Together they make the perfect duo and readers will wait with baited breath to see how the story ends. ~ Angel Brewer, The Romance Studio

4-1/2 stars from eCataromance:  Nikki Soarde captures you on page one and keeps you engrossed through to the end of the novel. Race’s issues are tremendous and heartbreaking. His past is revealed slowly and surprisingly by the master story teller that Nikki Soarde is. This is one story you will not be able to put down. Kudos to Nikki Soarde for an excellent job! ~ Elise Lyn, eCataRomance Review
