Review: Guardian of the Deep (Wytchfae Book 2) by Flossie Benton Rogers
http://flossiebentonrogers.com/
When Layla, a succubus, becomes too involved with Sammael (Sam), Guardian of the Deep, someone decides to punish them. Their planned vacation to Montana becomes a nightmare for Layla when she finds Sammael there ahead of her, with no memory of her or his life. He thinks he is a rancher who has spent his entire life on his land. Layla lodges at the ranch as his housekeeper in order to remain close to him and help him regain his memory.
Although Guardian of the Deep is the second book in the Wytchfae series, it is really a stand-alone novel. The characters and plot are completely different from the ones in the first book, so you could read each book without having read any of the others. The series continuity comes from the wytchfae universe, consisting of parallel dimensions containing magical creatures including witches, demons, goddesses, and humans with fae blood. You can pick up any book in the series and only read that one story and it is complete. However, you won’t want to read just one. Once you step into this universe, you won’t want to leave until you have finished all the books, and then exit sadly, until the release of the next enchantment.
I loved this book, which combined many elements dear to my heart. Sammael is a merman in his water form. Although the reader doesn’t get to see him that way for long, the glimpse of him in that form is intriguing, and I hope Ms. Benton Rogers writes another book featuring him in his merman form.
I also love horses and ranches. The majority of the book takes place on the ranch in Montana. The incongruous idea of a beautiful succubus trying to cope with life on a hardscrabble ranch makes for some delightfully humorous scenes and conflicts between Layla and Sam.
Since Layla is a succubus, sex is an important part of the story as well. The artful love scenes portray just enough detail to add heat, without sacrificing the romance.
Guardian of the Deep is a quick read that combines romance, paranormal and western themes. I would not have predicted the blend would produce such a tasty cocktail. Yum—something enjoyable for almost everyone.
