Dangerous Temptation
Silhouette Nocturne #2
by Kathleen Korbel (Eileen Dreyer)
Reviewed by Wendy Drew

Anthropologist Zeke Kendall doesn’t believe in fairies, but after falling down the proverbial rabbit hole, or rather an ancient cairn in Ireland, he’s forced to reevaluate his definition of reality.  Are the wondrous sights in front of him merely a dream, a result of his fall, or are they something a bit more . . . magical?  And who is the gorgeous creature in front of him claiming to be a fairy princess?

Nuala, eldest daughter of the Fairy Queen, has watched Zeke from afar for many years.  Instilled with a deep sense of loyalty to her people, she has been groomed to take over the throne, yet there is a part of her that is compelled to seek out the mortal life and most especially, Zeke.  Forced to combat her scheming sister, Orla, and her exacting mother, the queen, Nuala must find a way to save both her people and the man she loves.

Told primarily from the hero’s point of view, DANGEROUS TEMPTATION paints a world as beautiful as it is dark.  Filled with myth and legend it also carries a sliver of intrigue and betrayal.   Written in an almost lyrical style with a cadence all its own, Ms. Korbel wields a pen that is both strong and soft and ever so deadly.
