With the majestic Rocky Mountains just outside the window, I sit at my computer with vampires,demons, witches, faeries, and a variety of paranormal creatures gathered around telling me their stories! That makes me an author of paranormal romance novels and cozy mysteries with magic spark. The everyday world is mundane, but sprinkle a little magic and you have fantastic!
Colorado is home. I share my life with a wonderful husband of many moons, our brilliant Chow Chow, a terribly spoiled companion parrot, and a forty-year-old box turtle. We enjoy hiking, biking, and camping, also love water sports including kayaking and whitewater rafting, especially on the Arkansas River through the Royal Gorge.
Another passion of mine is reading a good novel. You can find me any winter evening curled up in front of a crackling fire with a good book, a mug of hot chocolate, and a big bowl of popcorn. While growing up, if I didn’t like the ending of a book, I’d rewrite it, which led to writing my own books.
Reluctantly, I discovered that in real life it’s tough to rewrite an ending.

Audio Book Review- Sold to the Berserkers (Berserker Saga #1) by Lee Savino

Sold To The Berserkers (Berserker Saga #1)
by Lee Savino
Published June 27th 2017 by Silverwood Press
Robert Ross (Narrator)
Listening Length 2hrs 25 mins
How I got it: Bought

I’ll never forget the first time I saw them, warriors moving like shadows from the trees. Their eyes seemed to glow with a fierce golden light, moving more like beasts than men. I trembled, every hair on my flesh prickled in the age old response of the hunted. They were predators and I was prey.

They entered the clearing and brought with them the smell of blood. Clad in furs and leather, bristling with weapons, they were warriors the likes of which I’d never seen. Huge, hulking forms, dark shapes pricked with those glowing pairs of eyes.

I could not face them properly, for I was bound to a tree, in the middle of a wilderness, helpless as I waited to be sold to the Berserkers.

***

When Brenna's father sells her to a band of passing warriors, her only thought is to survive. She doesn't expect to be claimed by the two fearsome warriors who lead the Berserker clan. Kept in captivity, she is coddled and cared for, treated more like a savior than a slave. Can captivity lead to love? And when she discovers the truth behind the myth of the fearsome warriors, can she accept her place as the Berserkers' true mate?

Review: I picked this up because I was looking for something short to listen to. At first I was enjoying it as it was something different from my usual paranormal romance. It takes place in a more medieval setting, and was kind of refreshing. I liked the narrator, he has this soft Scottish brogue that works well for the story, even though the main character is a female. The beginning did have me a little triggered, yet that was my own personal issues raising their ugly heads. Yet as the book progressed I became more uncomfortable. Discovering that Brianna is only 19 years old and has been repeatedly abused by her step-father left me feeling icky. After finding this out, I had a hard time continuing the book. 
I know 19 is technically an adult, but there was a clear age gap between the men and her. I'm not usually a prude when it comes to this type of stuff, but Brianna is clearly broken and it just felt wrong. In the end I wound up DNFing this book, as much as I wanted to finish it I just couldn't bring myself to. It takes a lot for me to DNF a book, especially one I paid good money for, yet this one just made me feel... unsettled. But personally I read for the escapism and this just didn't have what I was looking for.
