“4 Stars!...An entertaining shifter fantasy romance that combines Egyptian mythology with Action/Adventure to good effect...One of the strengths of the book was in the character of Kellan...has a delightfully dry sense of humour and a good use of wit which made me smile on a number of occasions...The story itself was suitably pacey that I raced through the pages, eager to discover what was going to happen...An enjoyable read. The writing was good...If you like Fantasy Adventure books, especially those with a mix of a light-hearted tone, some humour, but also some dark, tense scenes, then you should like this book. I did.”--Jenre, Reviews By Jessewave
“...Fast-paced, action-packed, and enjoyable...The concept--Egyptian mythology meets Highlander mythos--really appeals to me, and a light, slightly broad-brush style is a great way to tackle shapeshifting bickering immortals who have to deal with bus schedules...There's a lot going for this book...I am interested in finding out how the series continues, as Bastet and his brothers make for a fascinating core of characters.”--Ephemera, Rainbow Reviews
“5 Nymphs!...The well-written, well-paced plot has suspense, action and a dash of cultural history, interwoven with steamy romance, as well as moments of humor. The characters are believable with great interaction between them...The amazing T. A. Chase has created a superb beginning to this extremely enjoyable series.”--Chocolate Minx, Literary Nymphs Reviews
“...Let yourself be drawn into the tales of the Earth Warriors. First up is Bastet and you won’t be able to put this one down. Gorgeous immortal studs who protect the Earth as they fall for mortal man...Steamy sexual encounters, adventures, and more are found in this tale. I can’t wait to see how each immortal falls in love in the rest of this exciting series...Fun and passionate and truly entertaining. Enjoy!”--Lisa, Joyfully Reviewed
“5 Lips!...A very interesting read. I liked the story thread of good vs. evil that runs through it. The plot is exciting and the characters well fleshed out, making for a very good first book. The connection between Kellan and Bas is authentic and intense. I love it when a story can be woven in such a way that I am sorry to see it end. I was very sorry to see Bastet come to a conclusion. I can't wait for the next book in the series and am hoping for many more series releases in the future.”--Tina, Two Lips Reviews
...Kellan fell back against the cushions of the couch and giggled. Baz grinned and settled next to the younger man. God, Kellan was a lightweight. Two glasses of wine, and the man couldn’t put together a coherent sentence. It was kind of cute.
“I shouldn’t have let you pour me that second glass of wine,” Kellan mumbled, rolling his head over to look at Baz. “What a great way to make a good impression.”
“You don’t need to impress me, Kellan. I like you all ready, and you’re cute when you’re drunk.”
Kellan grimaced. “Ugh! No man wants a gorgeous stud like you to think he’s cute.”
Baz reached out and stroked his thumb over Kellan’s pouty bottom lip. “My dear man, I find you cute and disarmingly sexy all at the same time.”
With a wicked grin, Kellan sucked on Baz’s thumb, teasing along the length of it with his tongue and teeth. Baz shuddered as all the blood in his head rushed straight south to fill his cock.
“You’re making it very hard to be a gentleman.” Baz growled softly as Kellan started sliding his thumb in and out of his mouth.
Kellan slipped Baz’s thumb out and smiled. “Maybe I don’t want you to be a gentleman. Maybe I want you to fuck me.”
The wide-eyed, “oh, my God” look on Kellan’s face told Baz the man hadn’t meant to say that. Seemed like his control over his mouth disappeared with the wine. He grasped Kellan’s hips and dragged the slender man into his lap. Kellan ended up straddling him, rocking their erections together.
“Oh, my.” Kellan moaned, his head dropping back, offering Baz access to his neck.
“Mmm…” Baz purred, licking a line along Kellan’s jugular to the sensitive spot behind Kellan’s ear, stroking it with his tongue.
He hummed as Kellan ran his fingers through his hair, petting him like he was a cat. Baz slid his hands down and cupped Kellan’s firm ass. Kellan wrapped around him, all arms and legs. Their mouths crashed together, teeth and tongues. Baz loved the taste of Kellan mixed with the wine and spices the man ate for dinner.
Within minutes, he had Kellan pressed to the couch, nibbling along his chin while he struggled to undo Kellan’s pants. There wouldn’t be any fucking tonight, but nothing had been said about him sucking Kellan off. As far as he was concerned, tonight was all about Kellan. Baz would get his turn later.
Kellan’s thin cock sprang out of his pants as soon as Baz unzipped them and freed it from his underwear. He fisted the column of flesh and pumped hard and quick.
“Shit.” Kellan groaned, stretching his hands above his head and lifting his hips up with each stroke.
“You look so pretty lying sprawled like that with my hand wrapped around your cock,” he whispered in Kellan’s ear as he stroked up and twisted his hand over the head of Kellan’s shaft.
Pre-cum leaked from Kellan’s slit, and Baz lifted his hand to lick it from his palm. It tasted fine, but he knew Kellan’s cum would taste even better. He slid down the couch, pushing Kellan’s shirttails out of the way and swallowed the man’s dick all the way to the back of his throat.
“Fuck!” Kellan shouted, one hand twisting hard in Baz’s hair, while the other flailed over the back of the couch.
Baz winced at the strength of Kellan tugging on his hair, but the pain wasn’t enough to distract him from what he really wanted to do, which was basically suck Kellan’s brains out through his cock.
He started with licks to the vein pulsing along the underside of the shaft. Teasing nips to the head and balls drove Kellan crazy and had the man writhing on the couch, almost to the point of dumping Baz onto the floor. Baz braced himself and began the sucking, slipping his hand between Kellan’s legs to fondle his balls and caress the skin behind Kellan’s sac...
