FANTASY LOVER by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Part one of the Dark Hunter series...

Official description: "Twenty-nine year-old sex therapist Grace Alexander has been celibate for four years after experiencing a horrendous relationship with a self-centered, cruel former lover. Grace's flamboyant, exotic friend Selena decides it's time to get Grace back in the swing of things and she has just the solution -- an ancient tome holding a magnificent male specimen cursed to live between the pages of the book for eternity -- until he's called forth with a magic spell to serve as a love slave to his summoner for a period of one month. Having experienced Selena's so-called magic spells before, Grace isn't worried that the gorgeous guy in the picture is going to magically appear. Surprise, surprise, and happy birthday to Grace!
Julian of Macedon, half God, half mortal, is so exceptionally good looking that he made women fall at his feet and men green with envy and jealousy, in his time -- 149 BC. Jealousy and atonement for his sins, is what finds Julian cursed and trapped between the pages of a book only free for one month at a time, if he's lucky. Sometimes that freedom only comes once every one hundred years. When Grace summons him from the book, Julian is resigned and ready to fulfill her every sexual dream and fantasy. Grace, however, has other ideas for Julian. When she discovers just what a heartbreaking, loveless and dark life he's lived, Grace decides to show Julian just what friendship and love mean."

I have a few things to get off my mind before i continue.... OOOOhh baby yeah....
and also
"Come and ease my aching loins,
O great Julian of Macedon, Julian of Macedon, Julian of Macedon."
Damn it didnt work!

Oh well will have to dream instead...

Anyways... this book, phew, its a hottie... not in an elloras cave erotic kind of way... just a kind of what a man kind of way.... phew hell, Julian could warm my bed any day ;-)
This book was a dream to read, it reads really well in a language that i understand.... Grace, the heroine, is someone i would love to have as a friend, a sassy, intelligent woman whos been hurt in the past... but a woman whos heart is big enough to see the hurt in the sexy Julian... hell if I'd found Julian I couldnt have kept him out of bed...
and then theres Julian, a man out for your own heart - also bed... sexy as sin but vulnerable... and its so sweet how Grace never gave up on him.. and with her strength he gradually began to heal.... ahh its so good...

I can't wait for the next book, which i have ready and waiting for me to read... but i think right now i'm gonna try one more time :
"Come and ease my aching loins,
O great Julian of Macedon, Julian of Macedon, Julian of Macedon."

Dammit... good try though ;-)
