Kissed by Water by Delwyn Jenkins my review
Review courtesy of April Hollingworth
This is the third book in the phenomenal, The Watchtower Chronicles, and I loved it. Each book can be read as a standalone, but to be honest, each book is so brilliant and reverting that to only read one, you would be seriously missing out on the highly addictive series. Delwyn Jenkins has managed to create a series that is both enthralling and completely addictive. Hail to the Watchtower Chronicals, and I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
Opening Scene:
Lost.
Tristan didn’t know how long he’d been caged in the dark.
The Review:
Charlotte McLaren is determined to step up and take control of her magic and destiny. She is tired of being classified as the god girl who needs protecting. Determined to become as powerful and independent as the other members of her Quatre, she is ready to join the fight against their enemy. But to do so, she’s going to have to step up-big time.
Watchtower Knight Tristan, has spent the last three months locked inside an agonizing hell of dark magic and pain. Emerging from this nightmare as a changed man. No longer fun and carefree, he’s wary of the darkness inside him, that prowls about waiting to be released and threatening his fellow Knights and the Quarter of witches that have become family, especially the lovely water-witch Charlotte.
But Charlotte is determined to claim him as hers. To seduce the seducer with her innocence, and make demands of him he’s not sure he can fulfill. After all he knows he should keep away from her to protect her from his darkness. Now all he has to do is convince Charlotte and himself.
Notable Scene:
Wow. He’d been awake for thirty seconds and he’d already managed to feel her up, insult her, and then blame her for his actions. Riding the righteous indignation that surged up inside her, Charlotte shoved at him again.
“Don’t you dare blame me, Tristan. You’re a grown man in charge of your own impulses.” The minute he released her she scrambled off the bed, tugging at her skirts that were trapped under his body.
He looked at her and Charlotte could see him struggling to focus. “I’m not a man,” he slurred, “I’m a fucking Watchtower Knight.” Then his eyes rolled back and he slumped onto the bed.
Charlotte stared at him, heart racing with anger and something else she didn’t want to name. Her breath heaved in and out of her lungs as though she’d run a marathon, and her legs wouldn’t quite take her weight.
Despite being shocked and confused, one thought kept circling around in her mind. He was back. Somehow Tristan had managed to free himself from his dark prison and return to her intact. She had no doubt he’d be his old self again in no time, and that was her second miracle for the evening.
She’d done a lot of research on coma patients, and what had just happened was so atypical the healers would want to write papers on it. No man should come out of a four-month coma cogent enough to have a conversation, let alone be able to melt a woman’s bones. It wasn’t right, it wasn’t normal, and it sure as heck wasn’t fair. But it was very Tristan.
