"ECSTASY has it all"
Asla Townsend gets into a car accident on New Year's Eve
and awakens alone in a darkened world. Everything runs as
before the accident, but there are no people. Then,
suddenly, two men appear, and they are sword fighting.
After one of the men kills the other, Asla uses her
abilities to save the wounded man's life. Trace, a
powerful member of the Shadowdweller race is taken aback,
when Asla sees him, communicates, and heals him in
shadowscape; which is another dimension outside of
realscape. Most humans trapped in shadowscape are like
wraiths and can't see the Shadowdwellers. Trace is drawn
to the strange human but must, also, focus on a plot to
overthrow his government. In ECSTASY, Ms. Frank departs from her Nightwalkers series
and creates a series with a more erotic feel. While
ECSTASY takes place in the same world as the Nightwalker
series, it focuses on the Shadowdweller race and their
unique and interesting culture and society. Ms. Frank
raises the heat level in her latest book. Those
Shadowdwellers are a lusty bunch! ECSTASY has it all-- great word-building, political
intrigue, likeable characters, and a hero and heroine worth
rooting for. This book is highly recommended.

| SUMMARY |
|
**A PNR Top Pick** At one with the darkness, the mysterious Shadowdwellers must live as far from light-loving humans as possible in order to survive. Yet one damaged human woman will tempt the man behind the Shadowdweller throne into a dangerous desire… HER WORLD IS TOXIC TO HIM, AND SO IS THEIR ATTRACTION Among the Shadowdwellers, Trace holds power that some are willing to kill for. Without a stranger’s aid, one rival would surely have succeeded, but Trace’s brush with death is less surprising to him than his reaction to the beautiful, fragile human who heals him. By rights, Trace should hardly even register Ashla’s existence within the realm of Shadowscape, but instead he is drawn to everything about her — her innocence, her courage, and her lush, sensual heat… After a terrifying car crash, Ashla Townsend wakes up to find that the bustling New York she knew is now eerie and desolate. Just when she’s convinced she’s alone, Ashla is confronted by a dark warrior who draws her deeper into a world she never knew existed. The bond between Ashla and Trace is a mystery to both, but searching for answers will mean confronting long-hidden secrets, and uncovering a threat that could destroy everything Trace holds precious …
