Ciar Cullen's LORDS OF CH'I

I love chatting about authors whose work I enjoy, even more so if I'm especially fond of the author! Ciar Cullen is one of those authors! Her work is always highly entertaining, thought-provoking, and never fails to make me smile, or sigh - or both, and Ciar is an absolute sweetheart, truly caring about and appreciating each and every one of her readers! This is a review I've done on behalf of Romance Junkies for Ciar's Samhain release, LORDS OF CH'I:

An assassin and her target put their differences aside, fall in love and decide to spend their lives together – if only they can stay alive long enough to make it happen.

Lord Jetre Arnaud dreams of a better existence for his wood clan, after their lands have been ravaged by years of war. Jet’s long-time rival has been assassinated, and when the dead man’s sister, Silver SanMartin, makes a half-hearted attempt on his life, more an effort to gain his attention than actually kill him, he finds himself wanting her as he has wanted no other. Nearing the end of a ten year vow of celibacy, Jet is seriously tempted by Silver. Having the ability to get into her mind, he learns that she shares that temptation; he decides to act, taking advantage of her sensual nature, knowing that the pursuit of a sexual relationship with her will change both of their lives forever. Jet endured a cold, loveless childhood, and despite his bold, brazen front, he is slightly damaged and just a little vulnerable, which makes him even more endearing.

Silver has been cast out after the death of her family. More than anything she wants to see their killer dead. She approaches Jet, hopeful that she can convince him to assist with her quest for justice. She could never have dreamed that she would be hopelessly attracted to him, or that he would consider her as the means to end his celibacy. Silver is perfect for Jet; resilient enough to stand by his side as he rules, and saucy enough to share a sensually charged future with him, if only they can remain strong together to conquer their enemy.

Jet and Silver are intriguing characters, unique in their unfailing dedication to their beliefs and devotion to their people. Both are also intensely devoted, almost earthy, in their passion for each other. The futuristic setting is especially well-written; Ciar Cullen writes with incredible imagination and creativity that is matched by few. Her characters are never lacking in vibrant clarity, coming to life on the pages through colorful descriptions of surroundings, stirring conversations and witty banter.
