Description
Sahara Taylor has never obeyed the rules. She hopes that a move to a remote mountain valley will help her forget the relationship she has ruined and temper her lustful soul. Far away from prying eyes, Sahara can practice her witchcraft and reconnect with the invisible forces that govern her life.
But Fate has other plans. A well-worn path leading from Sahara’s cabin into the Aspen Wood brings a rugged lover who falls willingly into Sahara’s web of mystery and indulges her in the erotically submissive role she likes to play.
Their passions reveal a desire for an unconventional relationship and before long Sahara is longing once more for the touch of a woman. Love is only a whisper away, when Sahara is undone by talking in her sleep.
A secret from a lifetime in medieval England threatens to destroy Sahara’s every intention to be faithful to her new found loves.
In this tale of wicked sex, sorcery and innocence lost, one woman must choose between her past and her present, find courage to live authentically and resist the charms of an alchemist whose love for her has survived six hundred years.

FANTASTIC! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT! By S. Lord on December 26, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Ms Carless has woven a beautiful tapestry of love, lust, loyalty and loss. I enjoyed this tale so much, became so engrossed, I did not realize I had reached the conclusion until I was there. Thank Goddess there will be more to Sahara's story.
This is not my story but somewhere in the middle I began to wish it were and that is the very best Magick there is.
I invite all lovers of romance to dive into this Delicious Dark Pool of love lost and found again. And Again.
Lose yourself amongst it's glorious pages and come out on the Other Side, Breathless from the Ride.
Brava, Ms. Carless. Brava. I cannot wait for the Next Installment!

I wasn't sure what to expect out of this book. I'm a close follower of Ms. Carless work and figured that the book would be at least as good as the rest of her material. What a surprise!
I was in love quickly after the first few pages! I couldn't wait to get off work to read more. I'd get up early in the morning to steal away precious moments to continue reading!
Monika addresses a handful of incredibly important topics without making the story scattered. No detail is gratuitous.
You will love this book and it will leave you panting for more.
5.0 out of 5 stars A willing captive in this spellbinding tale!

I could not get enough of this book and cringed when I was down to the last few pages! A bold sensual tale perfumed with majick! I could feel the depth of love in these characters pulsing through the pages and it brought me to tears more than once. Thee erotic encounters are excitedly daring and energized with a beauty and freedom that only the deep rooted love between the characters could bring. It leaves you pondering the limitations and dogma we may have put on love and ourselves. Needless to say I am anxiously awaiting the next book in this series!

I'm not yet finished with is book. I like to read slowly and paint the picture clearly in my head. What a picture Monika Carless paints for you! The charters are well developed and unconventional. The vines of this magical and erotica tale will, leave you twisted in a state of breathlessness euphoria.
The charters are an incredible blend of many different kinds personalities and it works so well together.
Wonderful!

Loved it! I've never read another book with a more unique and enthralling storyline! Love, honesty, loyalty, polyamory, bisexuality and steamy love scenes abound, but ultimately it's a tale of people who follow their hearts and learn to live openly and authentically with their truths.
