Blurb Blitz + Review + #Giveaway: Ahe'ey by Jamie Le Fay @angeelseries @GoddessFish



Ahe’ey
by Jamie Le Fay
GENRE: Epic Fantasy Romance


BLURB:

Morgan's feminist books didn't prepare her to deal with the dashing Gabriel and the land of Ahe'ey . . .

Morgan is a dreamer, change maker and art lover. She is a feisty, slightly preachy, romantic feminist full of contradictions and insecurities. Morgan uncovers a world where women have the power, and where magic is no longer just a figment of her wild imagination. Sounds like a dream, but it may, in fact, turn into a nightmare.

The world of the Ahe'ey challenges and subverts her views about gender, genes, and nature versus nurture.


The strong and uninvited chemistry between her and the dashing Gabriel makes matters even more complicated. His stunning looks keep short-circuiting her rational mind.


Excerpt:

Before she could process her actions, Morgan found herself walking towards the door, signalling the guards to follow her. Outside, the strange woman shouted.

“Where are the Ma’asai?”

“At the venue, in the Great Lawn in Central Park. We enclosed the perimeter and created some security checkpoints,” said the blonde man.

“You betrayed my direct orders, Bastian.”

“I received no such order my Sky. Please! We are already here. It’s just for a few hours. We don’t want another incident like the Met where he disclosed his skills to protect her. Let me prevent further—” The blonde man stopped talking as he saw Morgan and the security guards approach.

The woman wrapped her cinnamon-coloured cape around her body, fully covering her weapons and her unusual outfit.

How odd. They look like they belong in a sci-fi TV series, thought Morgan.

“Good afternoon,” Morgan said loudly. She flashed a theatrical smile, trying to defuse the situation. “Hey, nice outfits. Is this Comic-con weekend? I love Comic-con. Which character are you?” She looked up to meet the eyes of the imposing Amazon. The woman looked at Morgan with an expression of cold indifference.

For one moment, Morgan felt like she was looking into a mirror. She recognised the texture and the fire of that hair. How strange. 


My Review:

Morgan is a woman who fights for women’s rights. She is very well known and has people following her all over the world to hear her speak at different functions. Morgan doesn’t really trust men but when she meets the very gorgeous Gabriel he just may change her mind and the way she feels about men or about one anyways. Gabriel is not only attractive but he is addicting as well. Morgan can’t seem to keep her eyes off him and she acts just like a school girl whenever she is near him.

Gabriel is a very mysterious person and keeps to himself. What is he hiding? When Morgan’s life is put in danger Gabriel is put in charge of keeping her safe. Gabriel and Morgan are equally attracted to each other but fight it as long as possible. But when Gabriel is injured while saving Morgan’s life he is taken home to his world and Morgan is taken too.

Morgan discovers that Gabriel comes from a whole new world than her own with people that have magical powers. In this new world of Ahe’ey the woman are the leaders and the men take orders from them. Just the opposite of our world.

As we already know Morgan and Gabriel have fallen head over heels in love with each other. They have found their soulmates in each other. But the more Morgan learns of this new world Ahe’ey she finds out that she and Gabriel may never get to be together as Morgan is human and not born of their royalty. To keep their blood line strong and pure Gabriel must chose his bride from the royal line. He has no say in who he will spend the rest of his life with. He must do this for the sake of the people of Ahe’ey.

Ahe’ey is on the brink of another civil war. If they are not careful they may just have an uprising on their hands. Some of the people are getting restless and are tired of the way they have been treated and are in need of a change.

In Ahe’ey men and women do not live together. Men have their own little village and the women have theirs. Women are encouraged to go find a man to get them pregnant so they populate their world. In Ahe’ey you can have as many partners as your heart desires. Only if you are of royal blood do you have to be selective in your partner and that is only when you’re trying to get pregnant.

When I first heard of Ahe’ey I thought I would like to read that but well may be not now. But I kept seeing it pop up and I thought about it a lot. There was something kept pulling at me saying read me, read me so I finally gave in and read it. I am so glad that I listened to that little voice as I really enjoyed following Morgan, Gabriel, Bastian, Sky, Scout, Quinn and little Aria.

Ahe’ey had lots of action that kept me on the edge of my seat just waiting to see what was around the next corner. I loved that it was about two different worlds that were like mirror images of each other in so many different ways. The plot is just so out of this world amazing that feels your imagination with so many pictures it would be fantastic to see this on the big screen and watch as all of the angels just came alive. Oh and that cover is just as amazing. I would love to see that portrayed on the big screen too. I would love to read more on Morgan and Gabriel’s lives as well as the children and all the other characters. What in store for Morgan and Gabriel now?


I would recommend Ahe’ey to anyone who loves a good story someone who likes to see others standing up for the ones that can’t stand up for themselves or who just need a little push in the right direction or maybe they just need to know there is someone out there who has there backs as they say.

EDITORIAL REVIEWS

EDITORIAL REVIEWS

"In this romantic tale, a champion of women's empowerment stumbles on a hidden--and seemingly perfect--society. A bracing mix of emotionally and intellectually honest fantasy." - Kirkus Reviews

"A compelling and creative work of paranormal romance. Le Fey takes her characters to places seldomly seen in fantasy fiction that readers will find empowering and prescient. Ahe'ey is a fairly polarizing book. As an example of feminist fantasy fiction, you won’t find much better than this. Ahe’ey is an impressively thought-out story, with many original touches and a fairy-like romance that will deeply satisfy readers of the genre." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★ 

"This book is a thoughtful look at empowerment for women. At the same time, it's a rollicking trip into a fantasy world complete with dragons, love and strength, and ideas that really get you thinking. This book is highly recommended for all ages." - HUGEOrange

"They're flawed, real, and honest characters that can be easily related to. Ahe'ey is the kind of novel society needs to read, to create inspiration and to make people think. Ahe'ey is daring, complex, and honest. A must-read novel that tackles heavy and real topics with a mix of serious and humorous, charm and tragedy." - Reader's Favorite - ★★★★★ 

"Ahe'ey contains a richly imagined world that raises complicated and timely questions about our own. Jamie Le Fay's Ahe'ey is an action-packed love story that puts forth a nuanced vision of gender stereotypes, body politics, and the dark side of seeking perfection." - Foreword Clarion - ★★★★

OTHER PRAISE

"Jamie is a fine writer with a rich imagination and is able to convey her strong feelings about women’s rights, feminism, gender equality and other important matters of injustice, primarily because she keeps us involved with the characters of her strong story.” - Grady Harp, Amazon Hall of Fame Top 100 Reviewer, Vine Voice - ★★★★★ 


"As a liberal and committed feminist who is increasingly frustrated by the simplistic self-righteousness of my own side, and the belief that all that is needed is for a few smart people to start a revolution, I found "Ahe'ey" to be refreshingly multi-sided, while also maintaining its core beliefs.” - E.P. Clark, Author - ★★★★
