No matter how they try to flee, the virgins who enter the twisting tunnels of the Guardians are destined to be caught. Actually, most don’t try too hard. The stories of warriors who can take on Cat form, of lovers who can make a woman scream with pleasure, are just too enticing.

But Miu is no virgin, and she’s joined the Hunt with her own agenda. After she steals the moonstone necklace she’s been sent for, she has no intention of becoming some Cat’s tasty morsel. Too late she discovers these kitties have some deliciously kinky habits, and the dark hunter on her trail isn’t about to let impudent thievery go without punishment of the most exquisite kind.

The Hunt is a tale of scorching fantasy, double-crosses and a strong heroine and hero pitted against the threat of personal disaster – for each of them. And the clock is ticking.

Our heroine, Miu, has a sassy and determined demeanor which grabs a reader from the moment you meet her. She’s a thief, but a very special one. In fact, who and what Miu is ends up being a very important clue and serves to increase the tension and adventure in the story. She has a hard as steel attitude but inside, is starved for gentleness and the need for someone to want her. Not for what she can get them, or what she can do for them, but for Miu, the woman. Her heart is untouched and she’s mistrustful of anyone who tries to get close. And Jafar, the hero, intends to get even closer than that. The relationship between her and Jafar is like a taffy-pull. I’d call her a piece of cinnamon taffy–sweet yet burning hot on the tongue.

Jafar is one who does not trust. He can’t. His job, his duty demands that he be vigilant at all times. He bears the weight of failure in the past and refuses to pay such a high price ever again. Of course, that was until he met Miu. Jafar is extremely alpha and a hardened warrior. Not a fool, he certainly starts to act like one around Miu. Hormones can do that and as soon as he gets a whiff of our heroine, the chase is on yet Jafar continues to try his hardest not to be lead by his tail –which I enjoyed watching. The body cleanses itself via natural methods like davidfraymusic.com cialis mastercard wastes through, sweating, urinating, respiratory, bowel movements etc. The man cheap generic cialis can get hard on for 4 to 6 hours. Stallion xl can bring back your teen-like instant generic cialis buy erection Recall the time you get an erection, you slip a tension ring around the base of your penis to keep the blood pressure under control. But the video generika viagra done her more damage than good. Also, there are a few lines of dialogue that Jafar speaks which totally had this reader in a swoon.

I will caution readers that although I was perfectly fine with this and for me, it made it a bit more enjoyable, Miu’s dialogue is not completely restricted to this fantasy world Ms. Marsh has built. Some people can be strict with fantasy stories, not accepting current Earth vernacular in a non-Earth setting. Although I made note of the seemingly out of place references in the dialogue, by no means did it detract from the fun, flow and interest in the story. It certainly helped me relate to Miu. She’s a feisty one.

As for secondary characters, the villain is not a surprise; he’s very up front with his badness. But even he provides a bit of a shocker in the end. I really didn’t see it coming. Then there is the Amun Ra. Man, I would love to know exactly what this guy is. He is so above it all, I almost wish he’d get his story. I enjoy a good comeuppance. Then there is Hebon — a character that screams tortured hero. If you think Jafar is all about duty, you’ve not met this guy.

There is a punishment scene that is very interesting, hot even. What I found even more amazing and incredibly exciting was Jafar’s Cat. When his Cat comes out to play, the relationship between Miu and Jafar is rocketed into an erotic stratosphere of dark passions. I admit those passages received a few re-reads from me, and few hastily gulped sips of iced-tea too.

The Hunt is a fantastic story with a fun heroine, a noble yet hotly sensual hero, a troublesome treasure and a plan full of intrigue that can make or break the world as they know it. An engrossing summer read sure to leave you wanting more from the talented Ms. Marsh.
