Heart's Surrender

Summary: Extraordinary and Amazing!!!
Review: By far the best romance novel I've ever read. Kathleen Morgan illustrates why she is, without a doubt, the Queen of Futuristic Romance. A prequel to Heart's Lair this is the story of Morigan and Rissa. He is the leader of the exotic Cat People of Agrica and she is the daughter of his greatest enemy, the Lord Commander of Bellator. Their duel of hearts is fast paced, emotional, and deeply moving and it will keep you glued to your seat. Don't start this book unless you have time to finish it because I promise you will not be able to put it down. And make sure to keep a box of kleenex near by because this one will pull at your heart! Rissa is determined to hate the savage Cat Man who has forced her to mate with him. Morigan is resentful of having to take to his lair a woman who is part of the very race that is trying to destroy his people. But, inspite of them both, a passionate bond develops that neither can resist, but many try to destroy! If you've never read Futuristic Romance, this is the one to try. If you are all ready a fan of the genre, this is a must have for your collection!

Summary: Can these two star-crossed lovers find happiness...
Review: For a Futuristic romance book... I would have to choose Kathleen Morgan !! This is my all-time favorite... What a page turner. I couldn't put this book down. I just love the way Ms. Morgan displays her characters; I feel like I have jumped back in that time era and I have become Rissa. We jump back in time to the first duel of hearts between Cat Man and Imperium beauty. Sigh.... Morigan put a silencing finger to his lips, rose, and walked over to Rissa. "Come," he said, offering his hand. "Naren sleeps. A breath of fresh air would be most welcome now." Rissa eyed his proffered hand warily before accepting it. In a quick, effortless motion, he pulled her to her feet. The blankets fell away, but for several breathless seconds they continued to stand there staring at each other. His eyes blazed hot and scalding, holding Rissa in a heated prison of bitter confusion and fearful desire. Something heavy, smothering, encompassed her, squeezing her chest until she could barely drag in a breath. Her heart pounded. A crazed urge to step closer to Morigan filled her. To join bodies, to feel the hard length of him press against her. To taste his mouth... With a gasp Rissa jerked back, her eyes gone wide, her throat dry. His hand, however, maintained its grip. "What's wrong, femina?" he demanded in a silky, seductive voice. "Having trouble dealing with your desire for me, are you?" Rissa flushed crimson and twisted frantically in his grasp. "I feel nothing for you but disgust! You're just so...so fascinatingly ugly----" Morigan wrenched her up against him. "Disgust? Ugly?" He gave a low, harsh laugh. "Sorry, femina, but those were hardly the emotions I saw in your eyes or felt emanating from you. You forget I can look into your mind----and I know a woman in heat when I see one!" "In-in heat? Why you-you----" Before Morigan could guess her intent, Rissa's free hand lifted. Only the quickest of Cat reflexes saved him from a stinging blow to the side of his face. He caught her hand only millimeters away, hlted it, then slowly brought it to rest along the length of his beard-stubbled cheek. His fingers entwined in hers, imprisoning them there. Morigan turned his head then, bringing his mouth in contact with the palm of Rissa's hand. At the touch of his soft, full lips, Rissa gasped. Fear rocketed through her. Fear of his intent, of the unknown---and fear of the intense surge of emotions his action had roused. His lids lowered, her head sagged back, and her woman's curves, almost in some instinctive response, pressed against his own tautly strung frame. He was seducing her, in as much with the strength of his unique psychic powers as he was with his body, and she didn't want it. Gods, she didn't dare let herself want it! "P-please," Rissa breathed. "D-don't. I don't want----" "You don't know what you really want, femina," Morigan groaned softly. "And I ... I know this is not at all what I should be wanting." His lips slid down the length of her hand, alternately caressing, then gently nipping her with his strong white teeth. "But I'm a male, and I have male's needs. Needs that haven't been satisfied in over a----" He stopped short, went rigid, then pushed her slowly back from him. The most intense battle raged in his eyes. A battle of wild desire and raw anguish. After a time Morigan relaxed, the bow-strung tension easing from his body. With a ragged breath, he released her and stepped back. "We were going outside, were we not, before we became sidtracked?" Morigan managed a tight little smile and motioned her ahead of him. "Would you still like to do so?" "Y-yes." Rissa turned and hurried down the short tunnel that led outside. Stepping from the cave, she glanced around her and, with a deep sigh of relief, threw back her head. Stars, brilliant pinpoints of light in the ebony canopy of the heavens, twinkled back at her. Two moons, one full and high overhead, one rising close to the horizon, little more than a slender cresent, filled the night sky. The third apparently had yet to rise. Alien and so vvery different from the nighttime display back on Bellator, the scene was still strangely comforting. At least there were still few things in life that remained constant, predictable. Not like her perpetually changing emotions when it came to the Cat Man, Morigan. Rissa wheeled around, acutely aware of his presence directly behind her. Less than a meter away, he stared at her, his expression shuttered. In the light of the single full moon, an eerie green glow seemed to emanate from his eyes. She shuddered. Morigan stepped closer. "What's wrong, femina?" She clasped her arms about her and fiercely shook her head. "Nothing. Nothing's wrong. I've just seen so much violence and bloodshed of late. And now ... " Her voice broke. Her head dipped. She inhaled an unsteady breath and forced herself to go on. "And now, Naren." Her gaze swung up to his. "If things don't go well you mean to kill him, don't you, before you leave here?" Morigan's mouth drew into a tight, forbidding line. "If absolutely necessary, yes." Utter disbelief filled Rissa. "You haven't a shred of compassion or mercy in you, have you? In your own way, you Cat Men are as brutally ruthless as you claim we Bellatorians are. How can you call yourself Naren's friend one minute, and then the next speak of murdering him?" The Cat Lord's hands fisted at his sides. His shoulders went rigid. "How? Because, my short-sighted little femina, if we were forced to leave him behind and he was captured, the Bellatorians would use their most painfully efficient ways of extracting infornmation on him. Eventually, no matter how valiantly Naren resisted, they'd discover the location of our lair. To preclude that eventuality, all of us, Cat Man and Woman alike, have taken a vow to kill ourselves if captured. It's the only way to protect our people. "So speak to me not of our brutality," Morigan snarled, his anger a heated, palpable aura about him. With the survival of his kind hanging in the balnce, the new leader devises a daring plan to kidnap Bellatorian brides to insure the propagation of at least some form of the species. What he doesn't expect is to find the taking of a human wife in anyhting but a duty.The firery Rissa touches is heart in spite of himself... This book is a very dreamy book and captures every woman's heart. It did mine.. So can they find happiness before their enemies find a way to destroy them? (BR)

Summary: True gift of the heart
Review: I just have to say that, this is an awsome book. A different kind of Romance novel that gives you all. It gives you obviously the romance, fantasy, and an unfogetable adventure. The characters of this novel, base their actions on what they value and what thier beliefs are. It's a book that reminds you what your heart is capable of. Laws that bound you to your actions are proven wrong and is faught by the power held within your heart. This is the first time, I read a sort of fantasy futuristic novel, and I think i'm hooked now! :)

Review: This was a great book. I couldn't put it down, and
I've read it more than once. It led me to look for
Heart's Lair, which is the story of Morigan's and
Rissa's son, Karic. Lair wasn't as good, but it was
still good. I would definately recommend Heart's
Surrender, It's a keeper.
