BOOK DESCRIPTION

Pharaoh, Mine




Kathryn is a veterinarian with a cause-she risks her financial security to help local cat rescue groups. When a stray cat, black with one green eye and one blue, meows at her door one night, Kathryn's view of rescues changes quickly.

In Ancient Egypt, the throne is passed to the firstborn son, and when the sun rises over his father's fresh tomb, Seti will claim his crown. Seti doesn't want to rule, but the only other option is death, and his half-brother is happy to oblige. Though Seti and Kathryn each need fulfillment in their lives, for one night they find peace in each other's arms. At dawn, Bast will return to ferry them back to their responsibilities.





EXCERPT

Pharaoh, Mine




The king's sarcophagus lay on a large carved stone in the center of the torch lit chamber. Seti paced across the compacted dirt, the oily smoke from the flames trailing behind him in a whirlwind of memory. Musky incense swirled over mounds of beaded offerings to the gods. He fell onto his knees, trembling. The lone melody of a cane ney snaked down into the tomb, the musician somewhere outside, with most of the mourners.

"Father," he whispered. No tears came. He fingered the painted hieroglyphs lining the edges of the wooden likeness of his father. The markings told stories of the king's honored past. The wars. The blood. The lives cut short and the many children. Many brothers.

"And I am firstborn. Why?" He pressed his sandal toe against the earthen floor and balled his hands into fists. Shaking, he stormed over to the servants who knelt by the vizier at the tomb's entrance. "Leave!"

The servants, half-bowing, scampered through the shortened doorway. Seti shook his head. They scurried like startled rats who had been lurking in shadows, waiting for the humans to leave the kitchen so they could rush out and steal crumbs.

"My king, you must calm down," the vizier said. The old man moved his staff side to side, in deference.

"I am not yet king, Pensekhmet. Not until morning." Seti rested his head on his father's image, freshly kohled on the surface of the wooden coffin. The paint smelled of sharp pine and heavy clay, alive and fresh-but his bitter old father lay inside-wrapped in linen and empty of his soul. The tyrant had finally had passed into the afterworld. Even now, he walked with the gods.

"When the sun rises, you will be king. It is time to put away your childish notions and accept your destiny."

Seti beat his fists against the wood in a slow rhythm. "I do not want to rule Egypt."





MY REVIEW

Pharaoh, Mine




The following review is my opinion and not a paid review. I was given a free copy of the book from the author for review.

Kathryn Adams is a veterinarian and she is having Financial problems. She is not sure how much longer she can keep her practice going without making any money. The reason that she is having problems is because she likes helping the local cat rescue groups. They have so many cats in need of her services that she doesn't have time for appointments with other animals.

Seti has just laid his father to rest in Ancient Egypt. Seti is the firstborn son and when the sun rises over his father's tomb Seti will become the new king of Egypt. Seti does not want to be king and doesn't want to rule over Egypt. But the only way he can get out of being the new king is through death, his death. His half-brother is more than happy to help Seti with his problem.

Kathryn and Seti knew that something was missing from their lives but didn't know exactly what that something was. But with the help of Madame Eve's 1Night Stand and an ancient Egyptian goddess they get to spend 1Night of hot, sizzling passionate night of sexual activity together. Will 1Night be enough for the both of them? Can they be together forever? How would that be possible?

I am beginning to really become addicted to the 1Night Stand Series. I want to read all of them. I have only read a couple but they are addictive. They are short, sweet and get right down to business real quick like. If you like reading erotica with a paranormal twist added in that is also a quick read then you will love reading Pharaoh, Mine or any of the 1Night Stand books.
