Review: Primal Temptation by Sydney Somers

Condemned to darkness…tempted by passion.

Pendragon Gargoyles, Book 4

Enslaved by a vengeful goddess, forced to live on blood, Lucan can barely remember life as a knight of the Round Table. Yet when one woman’s touch awakens millennium-old feelings that tame the savage darkness within him, he has no choice but to deny their all-consuming passion—for her own protection.

Cat-shifter Briana Callaghan has watched all three of her brothers find their mates, but love isn’t in her future. Especially when her mate turns out to be a lethal mercenary…and the only man ever to break her heart.

When she’s chosen to compete in the Gauntlet, an immortal death match, Briana realizes the prize—the sword Excalibur—is her only hope of severing the fierce bond that has the power to destroy her.


Stunned to find themselves pitted against each other, Briana and Lucan quickly find that the only thing they’re fighting harder than their enemies is their sizzling, heartbreaking chemistry. But even if they survive the Gauntlet, claiming the woman he loves will be as impossible as letting her go.

I loved this book especially even if Lucan needed to head-slapped to learn some sense. He and Briana are perfect for each and this book has lots of action of both in and out of the contest lol. Out of the four of these books this one is my favorite because I love both the heroine and hero. Briana is smart, strong, and is ready to take charge of her life with or without Lucan. And Lucan is strong, sexy, and after he gets on board with him and Brianna being forever he is perfect.

Ms. Somers sent me these books for my honest review. I loved this one and give it 4 1/2 stars. You can either purchase these at Samhain Publishing or Amazon.

 About the Author:



In her life and in her writing, Heidi Garrett is fascinated by thresholds and borders between: human and divine, ego and Self, conscious and unconscious, reality and imagination.


Confronted daily with situations where the most superficial aspects of life are valued, she's obsessed with going deeper.



Whenever she's lost her way, fairy tales and fantastical stories have restored her faith.



Whether you've picked up The Queen of the Realm of Faerie series, or a story in her Once Upon a Time Today collection of contemporary fairytale retellings, these stories feature female characters who must draw from their deepest selves to win.



Heidi was born in Texas, and in an attempt to reside in as many cities in that state as she could, made it to Houston, Lubbock, Austin, and El Paso.  She now lives in Eastern Washington state with her husband, their two cats, her laptop, and her Kindle.



Being from the South, she often contemplates the magic of snow and hopes to remind readers that:
Once upon a time, you lived in an enchanted world...
