Julian Thomas made the unpopular decision to
become Beholden and focus his magic only on scrying. Because of it, he's the
best at his job and the top scryer for the Department of Extranormal and
Magical Affairs. Which why Investigations Agent Wes Caldwell goes right to
Julian for help locating a missing person.
When Wes needs to use his magic to boost Julian's, they find a magical resonance between them that quickly leads to more. Julian doesn't want to move too fast, but Wes knows Julian is it for him. He's fine with waiting, as long as Julian stays close as they work through it.
But then Julian falls ill, and it's clear there's a magical reason. Wes will stop at nothing to find out what's plaguing Julian, and when they realize just how deep the plot goes, they have more questions than answers. Magic is increasing in the world, and no one can figure out why. Julian and Wes have found love, but will it be enough to get them through what's to come?

Review
Now here’s a most enjoyable,
sexy, and exciting story. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute I spent reading Beholden.
A Paranormal, romantic mystery; what’s not to love?
I’m impressed with the world
the author introduced me to. She managed to create a believable universe
without ever dumping information. I found myself believing in her world from
the start. The magic and the operations of those working in the Department of
Extranormal and Magical Affairs all made perfect sense to me.
Julian and Wes are great MCs.
They are complete opposites and perfect for each other at the same time. It was
impossible not to melt in front of Wes’s protective streak. His name should
have been Wesley really; he fits the name in an ‘as you wish’ kinda way. Except
that he has a dominant streak to make your blood heat up; just as well Julian likes
that sorta thing. J
Just to clarify; these two men are HOT together.
Mind you, there’s a lot more to
this book than ‘just’ magic and hot sexiness. There’s a mystery to unravel and
there are plenty of sweet, emotional, and soul searching moments too.
While this book reads as a
stand-alone story, I was very happy to see that the overall story-line still
needs to be resolved. I won’t mind spending more time with Julian and Wes at
all…at all.
If you’d like to sample this
story you can find an excerpt in this Release
Blitz post.
