Blurb/Summary:
Torn between hiding her goddess lineage from
mortals and needing her powerful gifts for self-preservation, Yasmin Freeman
just wants to be ordinary. But when an assignment leads her to Gray, a Talon
shape-shifter able to assume the deadly features of any bird of prey, the true
nature of her abilities is revealed.
Fiercely protective of his people, Gray is honor-bound to dispose of intruders, but Yasmin provokes a lustful hunger in him he doesn't understand--a hunger that drives him to disregard the Talon's strict avoidance of humans.
Gray's seductive touch triggers an ancient bonding process Yasmin is powerless to stop. Their bond should hold them together, but without the cooperation of their people, humans, goddesses, and Talons could die. Yasmin must face Gray in battle if she is to plead with the Talon elders for cooperation, yet defeating Grey might mean the end of the fragile trust between them.

Review:
Yasmin is on a mission. A
mission she took in order to redeem herself in the eyes of her people after her
previous job went awry. She wanted
nothing more than to go to the landing, survey the land and help her people
gain and maintain equal rights and peace within the disputed land. Gray proves to be a stubborn but very sexy
roadblock, whose devotion to his people and their land could potentially deem Yasmin's
mission impossible. She is forced to
reveal and use powers that will reveal her true identity in an effort to
restore balance.
Gray is an instinctual bird of prey. One who acts first and asks questions later. When the Landing that the Talon people have
rights to becomes compromised by human invasion, he sees this as a direct
threat and will eliminate said threat to preserve his land and his people. Eliminating weak humans has never proven to be
an issue before, but Yasmin is different as are the feelings that he begins to
develop for her. Can this human be
trusted? His first instinct, his sister,
and the witches all tell him no while the voice of his deceased mother
encourages him to look deeper.
A
Talon At Her Throat is a story about balance. The balance between the people of humans,
goddesses, talons, and witches; the balance between love, lust, and
manipulation, and the internal balance between the inner beast and humanity
within. Although there were minor
inconsistencies throughout, the characters and storyline were written well
enough to keep the reader engaged. The
cover art seemed dated and most definitely did not do the hero of the book
justice. The love scenes were steamy and
passionate. This was an entertaining
book overall.
