Soul Scavengers #2
His Wounded Rose
by Lisagh J. Winters
Publication Date: June 25, 2014

Synopsis

Paranormal investigator Sullivan Wilde and clairvoyant Olivia Emerson make it back to New York without killing one another, and are now joined at the hip for better or for worse. Back home again, Sullivanโ€™s deep ingrained inability to make a commitment causes friction between them, almost driving Olivia to the breaking point. Sullivanโ€™s young daughter Sabrina offers invaluable insights, while Olivia struggles to make their relationship work.

Fellow investigators Kelly and Hudson Hayze, a brother and sister duo, along with their producer Arnav Bhandari, make up the rest of the Soul Scavengers family. The team members are excited to meet Olivia, and make no apologies for torturing their cranky colleague over the sins of his past, latching onto his obvious attraction to the fresh-faced clairvoyant.

When the Soul Scavengers team find themselves called to a mysterious mansion in rural Illinois, they get a little more than they bargained for. Ghostly giggles, squeaky, bouncing beds, clinking champagne glasses and whispers of sweet nothings make it difficult for the team to concentrate, let alone proceed with their investigation. A hundred twenty-five year old love triangle threatens to expose a long-forgotten secret when the ghost of a heartbroken young paramour attempts to shed light on the mansionโ€™s dark history.

MY REVIEW
His Wounded Rose by Lisagh is the second book in the Soul Scavengers series. It would be best to read the Wilde and the Witch before proceeding with this title. It continues the story of Olivia Emerson, a clairvoyant, and Sullivan Wilde a paranormal investigator. These two became romantically involved, which could make things difficult as in light of the fact that one party wanted to keep the relationship secret.
I liked the fact that the author did not try to make the relationship between the two appear perfect. They were faced with uncertainties and obstacles just like real life couples, which made it easy to relate them.
I found the supporting characters, especially Hudson a bit annoying. At first I found it difficult to trust Kelly, however , as the story progressed it became clear why they both behaved the way they did.
This story touched on the sensitive issue of mental illness and the effect it as on the individual and those who are close to them. This is a story of jealousy, anger and secrets to which readers can relate to.
Overall, I found this to be an ok read. My main problem with this title was the ending as it left me hanging. I am eager to see what next this author has in store for her readers.


Excerpt

Olivia reveled in the salty-sweet taste of his skin. She mewed against the hardness of his shoulder as his thumb plied her taut nipple through the lace of her bra. The longer his lips lingered over her shimmering skin, the more possessed with desire she became. The hell with Sullivan saying he was addicted to her. She was the junkie and she knew it. Her fingers tucked just inside the waistband of his boxers and she pushed them as far down his hips as she could manage. He took over from there, kicking them off.
 โ€œYou make me crazy,โ€ Sullivan murmured between delectable kisses and small, ravenous bites across her collarbone. โ€œMy God, I want you so bad.โ€
Only he was capable of inciting a full-on riot within her body. โ€œYouโ€™re welcome,โ€ Olivia rasped, feeling his hands move between their bodies.
He unbuttoned her jeans with one hand, slipping his fingers inside the front of her lace bikini panties. Olivia gasped, her stomach swirling around like fireflies on a moonlit night, and she bit at her bottom lip. He was barely touching her and she was vibrating beneath him.
Olivia squirmed under his hand, lightheaded and delirious. The heat was intense. โ€œGodsโ€ฆโ€
โ€œI want you naked,โ€ he demanded, and kissed her on the lips again.
He was gentle, every touch loving and deliberate. Her breath soon grew short and desperate, and she let loose a series of small, urgent gasps. She screamed against his shoulder, convulsing into a string of explosive spasms she couldn’t prevent. His strong arms wrapped around her like a life preserver, holding her until she stopped trembling, and he kissed the top of her head.
โ€œI love to watch you, Olivia,โ€ he whispered. โ€œItโ€™s so beautiful.โ€


 About the Author

I’m Lisagh, and I’ve been writing since I was a kid. My imagination knows no bounds, I’ve been told. I wasn’t sure that was a good thing or not at the time. Turns out, it WAS a good thing.

I grew up in and around Vancouver, Canada, and have a fetish for snow. Winter is my season. Being born in the dead of it has something to do with that, I figure.
