She's got it, yeah baby she's got it

I'm talking about Lauren Dane, of course. A talent for romance, and all things erotic, Lauren's books have been inspiring us (and heating us up) for several years. Today, I'd like to feature one of her recent releases from Ellora's Cave, Threat of Darkness.


This book is a spinoff of Lauren's Witches Knot Series, but if you haven't read this series and want to start with this book, it can be read alone.



Mei is a Warrior for the Balance. She stands between good and evil. So when her boss tells her she's got to head to Tir na nOg to help the Fae she is most displeased. Mei's mother Aine, the queen of the Fae, betrayed and exiled her millennia ago. Or so she's been led to believe.

But Aine was misled by her own sister, and suddenly everything Mei has thought was true for thousands of years falls down around her ears as she looks up to see the face of her husband. Her first husband, a man she'd thought was dead.Jayce MacTavish is surprised to find that his wife, thought millennia dead, is alive, but his joy is tempered by the realization that she's got another mate.

Mei, Card and Jayce must find a way to be together as three while a threat from the Dark Fae and a new enemy darkens the horizon.

This is fantasy at its best and Lauren really pulled off the ménage with sizzle, but more importantly with emotional depth. It's a tale of love and loss, of the battle between darkness and light and a tale where hope doesn't die, but is kept alive by love.

Lauren has received rave reviews on this book.

Pam at My Book Cravings gives THREAT OF DARKNESS five flowers and says in part: The sexual encounters between the three mates are everything you could wish for in a ménage grouping…sizzling hot, steamy and above all loving. It’s all that you could ask for in a fantasy romance. I eagerly look forward to the next book by Miss Dane. Read and enjoy!



Aris at Alternative Read says of Threat of Darkness: Let the magic fly. A powerful story of love and the loss of that love, then finding even stronger love, in being bound to two. Hot, steamy, sexy, and tender, all you could want in a romance.


Lisa at The Romance Studio gives THREAT OF DARKNESS four and a half hearts and says in part: (…) it is very apparent this author spent a lot of time organizing her notes and crafting a riveting tale of dark forces battling the good. Mei’s relationship with her mates, Jayce and Card, is the most important part of this story. Their love and concern for her keeps her sane and bolsters her spirits when her body is depleted of magic. We get to revisit characters from the Witches Knot series, and that’s always exciting to see how past heroes and heroines are faring
Serena at FAR gives THREAT OF DARKNESS four angels and says in part: (…) this was a fantastic book. The characters are well-rounded and truly real ‘feeling’. (…) Both Jayce and Card were definitely drool-worthy and I loved Mei’s strength throughout the book. I truly hope that we are able to revisit the relationship that’s been established in this book.



If you haven't yet read Threat of Darkness, then WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Hurry on over to Ellora's Cave and while you're there, check out all of Lauren's other great books.


And just who is this fabulous writer? Well, Lauren describes herself as a suburban mom with a salacious imagination that she’s put to good use with her writing. Her favorite thing is when people tell her that she doesn’t look like “someone who’d write those books.”

She lives in the Northwest with her husband and three very rambunctious kids. She writes everything from paranormals to contemporary BDSM books and develops terrible crushes on all of her heroes.


Even though she lives in her head a lot, she does venture outside from time to time to collaborate with other authors, oh and to buy shoes too.


Well, I think this suburban mom has one heck of a talent and I'm looking forward to a lot more books from her. Do visit Lauren's site for more on her and her writing.
