An interesting blend of legend and mythology produces a unique story while well defined characters of various backgrounds gives depth and maneuverability for continued world building and arc development. A compelling heroine takes command of the story from the beginning as she strives to live her life with what is essentially a ticking time bomb hanging over her head. The first in a trilogy, Rhapsodic is a humorous, sexy, edgy PNR with strong fantasy and mystery elements. I picked up Rhapsodic after hearing Grace Draven (an author we love at Smexy) r ave about it on Facebook. The kidnapper collects the exotic and unique and Callie would be the perfect addition to his collection. The Bargainer knows Callie can help him save his people. Warriors in the Otherworld are disappearing and only the females are being returned, encased in glass coffins with a child clasped to their breast. He has always had a strong affection for Callie though he kept his distance for reasons only known to him.

And that price is always worth far more than the favor itself. The Bargainer, a fae also known as the King of the Night, can grant you any favor your heart desires…for a price.

Now the time has come for her to pay him back but he has his own favor to ask. “Please give me my balls back at the end of the evening.”Ĭallypso (Callie) Lillis, a siren, has spent her life hiding a huge secret.The bracelet of beads running up her arm isn’t a fashion statement but an accounting of all the favors she has asked of the mysterious Bargainer. “I’ll only agree to this if you do me one favor-”
