Mistress (Passionately Ever After #1) by G. Mallone
After being kidnapped and kept in a cage, Blake is bought and taken to his new life. He has no idea what is going to happen to him - his new life could be (and probably would be) filled with pain and cruelty. However, Blake has scored a kind mistress although it takes him a while to settle in as he waits for the boot to drop. As the story evolves, you find out just who Evangeline is, and what her story is.
This story starts off with a contemporary/urban kind of feel, but moves onto a fantasy/supernatural feel which I absolutely LOVED! Written in true G. Mallone style - with enough steam for a sauna - this book is NOT about insta-love. Blake and Evangeline have a slow romance, admittedly with hot sessions too. The story is paced nicely so that they have time to get to know each other before any declarations of feelings.
Smoothly paced, incredibly well written, and with no editing or grammatical errors to distract the eye, I loved the combination of fantasy and urban. A definite winner for me and I can't wait to read the next book in the series. Absolutely recommended by me.
