Description:
“UNLEASHED- Naomi Trahern
is as straight laced as they come. She deals in facts and cold hard science.
Stubborn to the core, she hasn't met a theory she can't solve. That is, until a
visit to the Amazon rainforest yields a sample she just can't explain. Trapped
with a larger than life jaguar in a sunken temple, Naomi is forced to accept
that her cut and dry world isn't so easily explained after all. When two worlds
collide and the steamy jungle unleashes fantasies hidden in the depths of
night, can Naomi embrace the extraordinary and unexplained, or does reality
rear its head and pull her home?”
“CONSUMED- Bored of a
solitary existence, a titan goddess creates Esoteric Inc., an agency that
handles cases "normal" Private Investigators wouldn't touch. Then
Ryder Dreki, alpha of the Icelandic dragons, steps into her office. His
request? Assist him with locating a kidnapped dragonling as well as the Stone
of Wisdom, stolen from his hoard. When Ryder demands to accompany her, she soon
realizes that dealing with a hot-headed, arrogant dragon was definitely not in
her job description. When Ryder is attacked, Electra must choose... protect the
world, or protect the scaled menace she's grown to love.
What would you risk to have it all?”
Author:
“Mandi resides in Ohio, where
she shares her workspace with an ornery bassle pup. In addition to writing, she
runs an online storefront, a roleplaying website, and is a 3rd Degree High
Priestess. She's an avid reader and blogger, who adores music. Whenever there
is a concert in town, you can bet she's taking the night off and cheering on
her favorite bands. She can easily be bribed with peanut butter M&Ms, gemstones,
hot lead singers, and gargoyles.”

Appraisal:
Ms. Konesni is a new to me author. I needed something short, and
enjoyable. Risque Romance hit the spot. Both of these stories are independent
of each other. They are well written and drew me in quickly to care about how
things were going to work out in both stories.
In UNLEASHED, Naomi finds
something interesting in a blood sample she brought back from the Amazon
Rainforest. Not willing to hand it over to the company she is working for until
she can explain what is going on. She finds an independent lab where she can
study her samples. Unleashed, has
some unique emotional twists in the plot that seem to take you away on a
different path. Then it twists back onto itself and leaves you with a
satisfying ending.
CONSUMED, takes a leap into Mythic figures. Goddess Electra and Raina,
a diva spirit—Pixie, have been together forever. They create Esoteric Inc., an
agency that handles cases "normal" Private Investigators wouldn’t
touch. Then Ryder Dreki, alpha of the Icelandic dragons, steps into her office.
His request? Assist him with locating a kidnapped dragonling, his
eight-year-old niece, as well as the Stone of Wisdom, stolen from his hoard.
Ryder is a hot-headed, arrogant dragon who keeps finding himself one or two
steps behind the kidnappers. Even though this is a serious situation Ms.
Konesni inserts witty dialogue and humor between these strong-willed
characters. There is a lot of globetrotting and a race to beat the clock to
save the world and sacrifices are made. And a heartfelt ending.
I enjoyed both of these stories, they are intelligently written. I
would recommend them to any reader who enjoys paranormal romances, and doesn’t
mind a little graphic sex.
FYI:
Risque
Romance is book 2 in this series. If you are offended by well written graphic
sex scenes then these stories may not be for you.
