Today we have a spotlight and review::
WOW!!! I seriously love it when a book basically leaves me speechless after the very last line.
What a great book !!! I was sad to see it end. I only just recently started reading paranormal/shifter stories but if there are more out there like this one, I'm hooked :) Please also tell me there might be another coming out soon in this series????
Soul Mates: Scent was a very well written book about a beautiful young feline shifter(heroine Anna Lissa Felidae) searching out her soul mate(our hero Max Fergus). However, he is not so sure about all he's being told at first. What he does know is he is unbeleivably attracted to her, not just because of how she looks but he oddlyfeels it down deep. They have an undeniable connection and a destiny that awaits them even though they are being hunted.
Our author, Elizabeth A. Lance did a wonderful job portraying all of her characters feelings in such a way I could almost experience them myself. I was also very captivated by and felt almost if I'd been transported to the unique worlds she created for the Fae, the shifters and of course the humans. She'd intertwined all the family/friends to have an important part in the growth of the story as well.
Full of mystery and intrigue at every turn and young love abound, this Y/A Paranormal Romance is absolutely one I would recommend at the drop of a hat. I may even read it again myself :)
Kudos to you Ms. Lance !!! You have my 5 stars !!!

Excerpt:
It wasn’t the first time I’d seen her. The girl with
the shiny black hair and distinctive blue eyes that seemed to see right down to
my very soul. No, the first time I’d seen her was as she stood across the
street from my house staring at me as I pulled my ’69 classic Vette out of the
garage. It had been the cause of my first real fight with Jenny.
Jenny was my girlfriend. I say was because we broke up
that day. She didn’t believe me when I said I didn’t know the girl. The next
time I saw her was a week later, just standing outside of my school, watching.
I only saw her for a second because when I blinked she was gone. For a while I
thought I might have been imagining her. Jenny and I tried working things out,
we were tentatively dating again, when the girl appeared again. This time
though, I knew I wasn’t imagining things when she walked into my homeroom
class, her gorgeous black hair hanging loosely down her back, grazing the
pockets of her designer jeans. Okay, I
didn’t know at the time they were designer, I just figured with a body like
hers it would be a sin to put it in anything else.
She was talking with Mr. Jackson when her deep blue
gaze connected with mine. It was as if we had both been waiting for this exact
moment in time. I couldn’t breath, for fear that she would disappear again. A
slow sensuous smile curved her rose colored lips, lips that I was suddenly
dying to kiss. I was so enthralled I nearly took my former best friend’s head
off when he commented “Dude, check out the hot chick!”
“Shut the hell up Steve,” I growled under my breath as
I glanced back at her, but she was back to listening to Mr. Jackson.
“Whoa Dude! I see fireworks coming! Jenny is gonna be
pissed!”
I’d forgotten Jenny in those fifteen magical seconds.
Steve was right. Jenny wasn’t going to be happy to see the girl we’d fought
about weeks ago. But there was something about her that drew me to her. It was
cosmic, or fate or something and I knew she felt it too as she walked down the
aisle toward me.
“Class this is Anna Lissa Felidae, from Quebec, please
make her feel welcome.”
Her name suited her, she moved in a feline kind of
way. Her hips swayed just a bit as she got closer to me and I started breathing
hard as I realized she was headed straight toward me. I didn’t have the
foggiest idea of what to say, me, president of the student council, captain of
the debate team and star athlete, was for once at a loss for words.
“Bonjour,” she said as she took the seat directly
behind me, her eyes never leaving my face. Her soft French accent sent chills
down my back.
I felt like a brain dead geek. I tried concentrating
on just breathing, but her scent was all around me, she smelled dangerous and
delicious at that same time. I cleared my throat trying to form words that
would make sense. “Ummm, er… Hi. I’m Max. Max Fergus.”
“Max,” she smiled this wicked little smile that made
my heart beat even faster. “I’m Anna.”
“Anna,” I breathed her name like a prayer. I felt
something inside me shift as I gazed at her and I knew I had just met someone
that was going to change my life. I heard nothing for the remainder of
homeroom. It was all I could do to stay in my seat and face forward when all I
really wanted to do was turn around and take in every ounce of her.
So you can imagine my surprise when I felt her hand on
my shoulder and her soft words whispering in my ear. “Max, would you show me to
my next class?”
“Uh, sure. What, er… what’s your next class?” I asked
still feeling like that brain dead geek I mentioned.
She glanced down at her schedule, her impossibly long
black lashes grazed her cheeks for a moment and then she met my gaze again with
another smile that made me wonder what she was thinking. “I am supposed to go
to Madame Lancaster’s class, Anglaise.”
“English?”
“Oui, Anglaise.” She smiled and my heart melted.
“Yeah… yeah, I can… um… yeah,” I said blinking like an
idiot and nodding. “I’ve got old Mrs. Lancaster first period too.”
“Magnifique!” she replied, her blue eyes twinkling
brightly.
I held my breath as she slipped her arm through mine
and we stepped out of homeroom together. I scanned the hall and faltered for a
moment. A feeling of guilt washed over me. Jenny stood across the hall, waiting
on me to walk her to class. She looked… pissed.
This is one book you must have !!!! It's available now at Amazon
Thanks so much for stopping by and happy reading !!
