I have been reading Ms. Belfrage’s books for many years now. I started with The Graham Saga and have now moved to this Wanderer Series. I enjoyed the first book in this series, A Torch in His Heart and am now pleased to continue with Smoke in Her Eyes. Just know that it is a very sexy book. Even more so than the first of the series.

Smoke picks up pretty much where Torch left off. Helle Madsen has learned that she is not an ordinary woman but rather someone who has been reincarnated through time over and over again along with two men; her love, Jason Morris and the man who wants to own and control her, Sam Wolfe. It all stems from a very ancient time when Helle refused Jason’s offer of marriage. She instead fell in love with Sam.

This has lead to them passing through time, missing each other but now finally reunited. The problem for Helle and Jason is that living happily ever after thing when Sam wants to capture Helle and kill Jason. Will they finally achieve that happiness they want?

These are three very compelling and equally strong characters. It’s also a classic good vs evil story so the reader goes on that ride with the characters. For as one would hope that Good is going to ultimately triumph, Evil has a way of doing a lot of damage before that can happen. The third book comes out in the fall and I expect it will be as page turning and steamy a read as this one is. ( )

Smoke in Her Eyes is the second in Anna Belfrage's The Wanderer series. Continuing the story from A Torch in His Heart, Jason, and Helle, after lifetimes of living, dying and looking and finding each other are finally able to have a life. Well with an exception, Sam Woolf. Sam is still determined to get his hands on Helle and make her his own. He is not nice about it either, he has his own henchmen and is able to possess and manipulate people's minds. It is a battle of wills between the three of them.

This book has less of the time travel aspect but it is is still there in the fact that Jason and Helle have lived many lives. It is more about the love that they share. This book is pretty steamy and at times violent, well Woolf is involved so that explains that. I loved the book, as I do all of Anna's works. I look forward to reading more about Jason and Helle, is Sam dead? I would like to think he is but then there would be no more story.

Anna writes in such a way that you can't help but get drawn into the story. The sex scenes are done tastefully and the supporting characters are well written. This series is sure to be one to please, I look forward to reading the third novel in the series, Fires in the Skies. Anna is also the author of The Graham saga, a historical time slip series and The Kings Greatest Enemy, all wonderful series. If you love any of these types of stories, definitely give them a try. You will fall in love with this author, I have and highly recommend Smoke in Her Eyes. ( )
