I am happy to be a part the Chronicles of Shilo Manor blog tour and to have Charlene A. Wilson join us today at The Avid Reader. I am hosting both books in the Chronicles of Shilo Manor Series. Cornerstone Deep book #1 and Cornerstone Deep Echoes book #2. I also have reviews of both books.
It's their nature - long lives and rebirth. They're from another dimension, one gifted with advance abilities, but they serve in Cornerstone Deep. They're the Wizards of Shilo Manor.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
Cornerstone Deep
They outlive the mortals of this realm by thousands of years, and when it comes to love the cruel fact is reinforced. Reincarnation doesn't exist on this plane. They lose their wives to death with no hope of reuniting. Yet they continue to accept others for whatever time they have together. Save for Cole. His love for his last wife still burns in his soul four centuries after her death.
When the service they render to the noblemen of Cornerstone Deep brings him face to face with Anna, something unexpected happens. In a realm of silent souls, hers calls to him. He responds with a kiss-one that joined with the spell of servitude she inhaled, binds her soul.
Breaking ancient covenants, angering the lords, and bringing the gods' wrath upon him, Cole tries desperately to undo his wrong and free his love-despite the determination of the nobleman to keep her.

MY REVIEW
Cornerstone Deep
The following review is my opinion and not a paid review. I was given a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
The Shilo brothers Cole, James and Vincent are all wizards who come from another realm or dimension. The Shilo brothers live a lot longer than people here they live to be hundreds of years old. They work for Lord Dressen who is the law maker. They harvest humans and erase their memory for Lord Dressen. Lord Dressen then takes them into his home to work as his servants.
Cole, James and Vincent living hundreds of years are always looking for their soul mates. James has been married quiet a few times in his lifetime while Cole has only been married once to his soul mate Mianna. Cole has never re married because he is looking for the reincarnation of Mianna. He finds her when Lord Dressen sends them to bring a young woman, Anna to his manor as one of his servants. By the time Cole figures out that Anna is Mianna it is too late her mind has been erased. Cole has to find a way to get her back.
Cornerstone Deep was a more than just a great read it was a fantastic, magical read. I think that most people are always looking for their soul mates. Someone to love with all their hearts and who loves them just as much. When you meet that one special person and you look into their eyes and you feel like you have know that person all your life or maybe there are times you look at them and a feeling just comes over you like I have know you before but in a different time then you know you have met your soul mate.
Wouldn't it be phenomenal to know that when you fell in love and you knew that when the day person you loved died would not be the last time you saw them? That your souls would be looking for each other in another time and when you met your souls would know. That would be so grand.

MY REVIEW
Cornerstone Deep Echoes
The following review is my opinion and not a paid review. I was given a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
Well Cole found a way to get Anna back from Lord Dressen to try and make things right with Anna. But things don't go as he planned while trying to save Anna and give her life back to her. Cole loves Mianna his soul mate very much and wants her back. He thinks with having Anna he will have her back in his life. But Cole's attempt to give Anna her life back goes horribly wrong.
I understand wanting your soul mate back but If having your soul mate back messes up some one elses' life and having that life taken from them then that is not right. How could any one claim to love someone so much and then mess it up so badly? Mianna has lived her life, Anna deserves to be able to do the same thing. Lord Dressen didn't know what love really is or he would never want to take her mind from her and turn her into a puppet, a robot. All he wants is someone he can control and have do exactly as he says.
Yes, Cole really made a mess of things and yes he did Anna wrong but I think he did love her and he tried to give her life back. Even though things didn't go as planned he did try and you can't blame a man for trying can you? I think Coles heart was in the right place but as they say love is blind and you don't always see the truth until it is too late if ever.
