Sizzling Hot Books
I just finished reading Precious Starlight by Angela Castle and I can’t begin to tell you how much fun I had reading this book. You see, fun is the first word that came to mind when I finished reading. This was a check your brain at the door, make a big tub of popcorn, sit back and enjoy the ride kind of book. And with all the seriousness that is real life, it was so wonderful to just lose myself in a book that made me smile the whole time I was reading. The story starts off with Daisy Putter being held prisoner after being abducted by aliens. Thankfully she is rescued by a team of red-skinned Demos soldiers from Galafrax. Galafrax – Ms. Castle earned my love already with just this one word. What an awesome name for a planet. With this beginning, I knew that I was in for a fun time. Then she added that on Galafrax (see, I dare you not to smile while you’re reading this name) every male Demos is born in sets of identical quads and they mate with only one woman. Great planet name, hot alpha quadruplets and one woman who gets these men all to herself – this is the perfect recipe for an entertaining read. The quads who rescue Daisy, Loz and his brothers Tos, Cir, and Bex, are utterly captivated with Daisy and find themselves quickly falling in love with her. Daisy returns those feelings and they embark on a torrid love affair. But no romance would be complete without a problem that keeps our lovers apart. This time it is a set of powerful, ruling quads who want Daisy for their own. It will take everything the brothers have to keep Daisy safe and make her theirs permanently. So what did I like about this book? Everything! First was the characters. Daisy was a terrific and believable character. She had the same normal insecurities that most of us had which made her sympathetic. I loved that she had no problem standing up to the men in the book whether they were her lovers or the villains. She had sass and attitude in the perfect combination with sweet and caring. As to the guys – well, with four to chose from, all the characteristics you want in a man were covered. You had strength, loving, caring, smart, dominant and more. I would be hard pressed to pick which one was my favorite so I am glad that Daisy didn’t have to choose. The sex scenes were sizzling and steamy and I appreciated the obvious care and time Ms. Castle put into writing them. With four lovers, it would have been so easy to just turn these scenes into a sex free-for-all, but instead the reader is treated to tender loving that easily demonstrated how precious Daisy was to each of the brothers. The story flowed so naturally and easily that I was completely immersed in the story. I lost track of time while reading and found my jaw muscles hurt from the constant smiling I was doing. I even found myself laughing out loud at some of the things Daisy would say or the typical bickering between the brothers. Ms. Castle even surprised me with a little plot twist which is always appreciated. Precious Starlight is the third book in the Galafrax series. I had not read the other books but had no difficulty following along with the story. And now that I have discovered this terrific series, I’m going to have to download books one and two onto my e-reader. Then I will be ready when I need some pure escapism and fun.
