Kol Hildr is a Hero of Guardian’s Keep, a bar which hides a portal to other worlds. With his ability to change into wolf form, he has spent a century battling anyone and anything who would try to take over the portal. All have failed except one little witch.

Kelly Shane is determined to close down the portal. She had been kidnapped, along with her best friend, and traded through the portal to another world. She survived with the help of her sister, but her friend didn’t. Kelly blames Kol for allowing it to happen, and she is determined to prove it. But, will her intense attraction to the wolf get in the way?

Kol’s portal is being threatened, and he believes Kelly is behind it. With the Council breathing down his neck, he is determined to find out if she is involved in the threats and to protect his portal at all cost. He doesn’t trust Kelly, but when her life is in danger, will he risk it all to save her?

If you like shape shifters, witches, dwarfs, elves, and everything else supernatural, you will love Guardian’s Keep. It is a fast-paced story filled with suspense, intrigue, and passion. Kol and Kelly are both strong characters with powerful abilities, intense feelings for one another, and determined devotion to their beliefs. Lori Devoti weaves a truly unique tale of conspiracy, deception, and powerful emotions. Her attention to detail and skillful descriptive writing makes this sexy adventure a fantastic read. It will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end with its surprising twists and turns. She has written an exceptional story that should definitely be placed in the winner’s circle. I am eagerly looking forward to reading more books from this author. Congratulations Ms. Devoti on penning an outstandingly exciting romantic fantasy.
