The Progeny (#1 The Progeny Series)
by Ashlynne Laynne
Erotic Paranormal Romance
Shauna and Ascher are a destined couple right from the start. But Ascher is engaged to Ursula from the Romanian clan by as arranged marriage and he really doesn't care for at all. In fact Ursula makes him ill. I'm still not sure why he'd sleep with another he doesn't like but him thinking on that part in the beginning had me laughing. Ascher is a half bloodling--half human, half vampire that is sometimes a little difficult to follow. Shauna is half human, half Wiccan. Ursula is all vampire and to me has an extreme personality of a spoiled rotten witch. Ursula won't stand for the betrayal and revenge is the name of the game.
Who doesn't enjoy reading murder, revenge, vampires, sex, magic, and suspense mixed in a tale of romance?
It does have a few editing errors which I mostly was able to skip over with a minor notice of them. But her writing mainly flows smoothly through the majority of the book. She's created some really good characters and I look forward to the rest of the series.
The Progeny (The Progeny Series #1)
“No fate other than the one I choose.”
The timeless creed, and tattoo, bore by the Rousseau’s— a
vampire clan with the purest bloodline of any vampire family. Out of this
clandestine group came one who was different, yet the same: Ascher-a
half-bloodling— half- human, half vampire.
Ascher questions the purpose for his existence and which
world he truly belongs to: the human world or the vampire world. Two months
from sealing to Ursula— a prearranged union to a woman he abhors — he’s at his
wit’s end. He knows if he calls off the sealing, the Romanian clan will strike
with deadly force, but he cannot see eternity with a cold empty shell of a
woman like Ursula.
Just when he thought life was complicated enough, he meets
Shauna— a beautiful, bi-racial human Wiccan — and immediately develops an
unshakable attraction to her. She makes him feel alive and vital despite his
origins and Ascher makes a decision that turns his immortal world upside down.
About
Me
Ashlynne Laynne has
always had a soft spot in her heart for vampires but grew tired of the garlic
fearing, sun-loathing creatures of old. An avid horror movie fan, she tends to
enjoy media and music that is of a younger, more eclectic nature. This was the
catalyst for her writing The Progeny. The vampire/witch pairing is unique and
different when most books pair vampires with werewolves.
Ashlynne loves writing
on the edge and teetering between the erotica and romance genres, and thinks of
Ascher and Shauna as the wicked, damned version of Romeo and Juliet. She is
currently working on book four of her Progeny Series, book one of her upcoming
Rocker Series, and an untitled novella WIP. In her spare time, she enjoys
cooking, reading and spending time with her family. She juggles the hats of
wife, mother, full time employee and part-time writer, hoping to write full
time one day soon.
Ashlynne lives in North
Carolina with her husband and teenage son.
