Under His Wings

Dark Judgement Series- Book 1

By Naima Simone

Synopsis

Dark Judgment, Book One

Warrior, lover…savior. A winged avenger with chocolate feathers and lavender eyes haunts Tamar Ridgeway’s dreams—her erotic escape after surviving a horrible plane crash and enduring years of painful physical therapy. But fantasy becomes terrifying reality when she’s attacked by a mythical creature from her darkest nightmares. Now her sexy dream warrior is vowing to save her, whether she wants his protection or not.

Nicolai Abioud, judge and executioner of the hippogryph, is stunned when the woman he rescues is the same who submits to him nightly in his dreams…and a replica of his dead wife. He’s fascinated by her beauty and spirit, consumed by the craving to touch…to take. Yet he lost his one true bondmate five hundred years ago. And falling for a human—no matter how beautiful—is a foolish risk. But the choice to love may be snatched away. Danger is closing in. They must conquer their enemy and fears, or be doomed to lose the love of a millennium.

Tracey’s Review

Tamar Ridgeway has been through a lot in her young life. She’s well aware that darkness exists, so she has done her best to create a life that she loves to combat the despair and loneliness that she has dealt with. Nicolai Abioud is a true warrior, tasked with the responsibility of enforcing the law among the hippogryph race. When he and Tamar meet, everything that they believe about their worlds will be challenged.

Tamar and Nico have been meeting in their dreams for the past three years. Having suffered loss and dealt with an abusive relationship, Tamar finds solace, strength, passion, and acceptance in her nightly meetings with Nico. For Nico, Tamar is a reminder of his bondmate, the woman that he loved, who was taken from him by one of his own, a former friend and companion in the hippogryph elite. When circumstances arise that bring them together in the real world, they must work together to bring down the rogue hippogryph that threatens them both, and, at the same time, decide what they mean to each other. I am a big fan of paranormal romance, and so was thrilled to have the chance to read ‘Under His Wings.’ I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but the story grabbed me from the very beginning, and I couldn’t put it down. Naima Simone has taken a fantastical subject and created an engaging and enjoyable story that is not like any I’ve read. I look forward to reading more of this series.

Author Bio:

I was born the daughter of a sharecropper… Okay, maybe not. But I am the daughter of a pastor from whom I inherited my love of romance. The man can preach a mean Song of Solomon! (There’s that plug, Daddy! You can pay me later!)

Although my first book starred a cucumber named Fred, my first romance came several years later in the seventh grade, when I wrote myself as a heroine opposite Ralph Tresvant from New Edition. Through the power of my pen and imagination, Ralph took one look across a crowded stadium, met my dark, mysterious gaze, fell passionately in love, and serenaded me in front of millions of fans. Out of all the girls in the world, he chose me! And of course, we lived happily ever after–once we had the inevitable fight, aka black moment, and made up with a passionate declaration of love and fidelity. This same story reincarnated itself many times over the years: with Donnie Wahlberg from New Kids on the Block, Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, and as recently as last night, Vin Diesel.

Though the characters have changed, my love of love has endured. Shaping the lives of unique men and women who experience the first hungry bites of lust, the dizzying heights of passion, and the tender, healing heat of love–nothing compares to it. Except maybe discovering new material for love scenes with my husband, the head of Research & Development!
