In this mesmerizing and perilous paranormal romance, Micah and Jade discover the true strength of their bond, navigating treacherous paths with both sensual allure and heart-stopping action. Together, they must break the shackles of their haunted pasts and embrace a love that can move mountains.
I really enjoyed this book. There was enough twists and turns and romance to keep me turning the pages with a wonderful relationship that gradually bloomed through the book ( )

This is such a good series! I knew Micah’s story was going to be good just from the snippets we’ve seen throughout the series. Micah now has a good handle on the assignment because a chaolt portal is right on the side of a mountain surrounded by tons of Micah’s elemental specialty! When Jade moves into his campsite clearing to start mining a claim, you can feel the tension immediately. Jade and Micah’s chemistry is tumultuous at first but grows and changes over time to something deeper and super steamy! Jade is a great heroine because she is strong and cares so much for her family. I love the added storyline of meeting Jade’s mother and seeing her struggle as a caretaker and daughter. It allows me to connect more with her as a character to really see how she deals with common human life struggles and see some of my own story within that.
There is always something exciting happening and I couldn’t put the book down. I seriously cannot wait for the book when the Premiers find out about what has been going on Earth side. I also want to know more about Walker and his background. The storyline is an interesting concept and I love how the characters are all evolving. A great read and an exciting series! I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy. ( )

This is a fun and standard book from City Owl. Light romance - some snuggling and touching but not too descriptive. Strong female lead. Wounded but lovable sexy beast. And warm friends and family to support and take care of. The mining and geology element was new to me. I enjoyed this plot and would have appreciated more descriptions of the unique location, rocks, mining and geology. I think I'll go back and read the others in this series.

Crush by Joanna Morgan 3rd book in Elemental series
Received the ebook Crush by Joanna Morgan from Librarything.com Early Reviwers Group. It is a fast paced entertaining read. Main characters are Micah, an Earth Elemental, and Jade, a school teacher. Jade is mining gems on her claim on Independence mountain to pay for a decent nursing home to care for her mother who has severe dementia. Micah lives in Topaz Ridge with his fellow warriors. Walker, a water elemental, is commander. Ajax, an air elemental, is left in command when Walker returns to Primordia to meet with the Premiers, the groups leaders. He is married to Emory and have baby Jackson. (Book 1)Levi is a fire elemental. He is married to Brooke who is due anytime. (Book 2) The warriors guard the earth and sleeper, human who don't know they have elemental powers from the Chaolt. Chaolt are soulless beings who come thru the portal to cause death and chaos. They use such out and use the sleepers powers to cause environmental disasters like tsunami, major fires and landslides. The warriors were believed to be sterile, but with six month old Jackson and the baby due to be born that obviously isn't true. The Premiers also believe that all warriors are single. Two of the Elementals have increased in power since defending their mates. They no longer weaken as they near the portal. Which helps them survive combat. Micah is supposed to drain Jades powers, which requires physical touch. Jade doesn't want touched by anybody. Including Micah. The choalts will steal her power if they find her and use the sleeper power to cause severe destruction. Jade is focused on mining to earn money to keep her mother in a good home. Micah wants to do his job, keep Jade safe and the Chaolts away. The Chaolts want to cause chaos and destroy the mountain. I recommend this book and the rest of the series. ( )
