“911. What is your emergency?”

Every night, Zara Llewelyn picks up the phone and assists people in distress. House fires. Assault. Motor vehicle accidents. Home invasions...

Between the hours of six and two, she is the answer to a thousand cries for help. But when the payphone outside Zara’s apartment building mysteriously begins ringing night after night, the very last thing she wants to do is pick it up. And yet, she can’t seem to help herself...

Pasha Rivin’s trying to outrun fate. He’s been running from it for years now, but escape isn’t in his cards. As the oldest son of the oldest Roma family in the country, he’s not just a member of a proud and fiercely traditional clan. He is their reluctant king...and now he’s expected to find a wife.

The fiery redhead that shows up on his doorstep, following a trail of breadcrumbs, hunting for a missing little boy, is the last person Pasha’s mother has in mind, however. She’s an outsider, an intruder, and as far as his family are concerned, she’s not welcome on their land, let alone in their king’s bed.

Pasha has never allowed his destiny to stand in the way of what he wants, however. And he’s never wanted anything more than he wants the girl with the burning red hair.

***

Zara Llewelyn picked up the phone and learned a secret.

Falling in love has never been so dangerous...

I finished this book and I’m still sitting here scratching my head, wondering what in the world did I just read? How in the world will all the pieces of the puzzle fit together with the release of Book 2!!! There are so many things to take into consideration, my mind is working overtime. 

This book is a subject that I’ve not read about before. A Roma family and their traditions. I found it quite interesting. As it was a new to me subject. The way that ‘outsiders’ are treated very differently than someone born into the Roma family. 

Then you bring in Zara, the 911 operator who is not a Roma. Yet she is attached to them without even knowing this. Her dreams, very erotica in matter are with an unknown man. Very vivid in matter and full of detail. 

When that disturbing call comes in and the constant ringing of the pay phone outside her apartment… The story starts unfolding at a rapid pace. 

The entire Roma family has made it back into town and is ready to crown the King. 
But will the tables turn and force the Rivin family out of being the head of the Roma’s? Or will fate roll with the tarot cards and their King will be crowned? 

Bring on Book 2 of this Duet!!! I’ve got to see how this author will explain and answer all the unanswered questions I’m left with when finishing Roma King!!!







Its a slippery slope down the rabbit hole kinda adventure, you'll get to know how Alice felt!!
A book that starts with heartthumps & ends with heartthumps, it's one edge of the seat thriller, with a heavy dose of otherworldiness mixed in. You won't believe the magnetic connections unless you believe in Fate and this story leans heavily on that.

description

“You will obey me, Pasha. You will accept the crown. You will be married. And you will stay away from that woman in your dreams. She’s not for you, do you hear me? She’ll be the ruin of us all.” 
It's fate that Roma land in Spokane with Shelta on a mission to retrieve her king and reinstate her clan to its once lofty heights.
It's Fate that the one dreaded phone call changes zara's life forever.
It's Fate that her Dream Man turns out to be Pasha Rivin, a forbidden pleasure.

description

Zara is the unsuspecting key to everybody's existence, an innocent bystander turned unwilling cause of the impending doom!
Lots of arm twisting, blackmailing and covert pressures are being tooled to separate these two by the Hidden Powers that are manipulating and twisting their lives.
I’ve dreamed of the woman I’m supposed to be with for years. I’ve finally found her, finally met her, finally touched her with my own cursed hands. And if the vitriol that fuels my mother’s deranged heart is going prevent me from finally having her and keeping her to myself for the rest of time, then I will not fucking have anyone. To keep Zara safe, I won’t get involved with her. I’ll never marry, and I’ll never accept the crown. 

description

They invade each others' dreams and thoughts, it's uncanny and eerie but it takes the story forward.
I see her so clearly in my dreams that it feels as though every aspect of her should be deeply engrained and burning in my memory, but no more than thirty seconds after I wake up, she vanishes from my subconscious and fades away, until only the mere shape and sense of her remains. She is like a ghost, hovering in the peripherals of my vision from morning to night, watching over everything I do in silence; the moment I turn my head, trying to catch sight of her one more time, she disappears in a puff of smoke. 
It was such an enjoyable completely engrossing read, I fell in love with Pasha, with Zara, with Sarah, with Waylon, with quiet Garrett...the plot, the subject matter... I was mesmerized

description

Gypsies have been my fave trope to read and not many have been written about them. They are timeless mysterious tribe holding magical powers & abilities. And Callie is so skilled, this story just comes alive in her deft hands. She makes you believe in magic and voodoo and tarot cards and hexes and omens. All of this conflicts with our logical minds, yet I believed in it cause Callie made me a believer. Pasha and Zara are pining hearts, pulsating lust and encroaching love together, it was hot and breathless to watch them together

description

“I want you so bad, Firefly,”
"I need it more than anything else in the world.”
“More than air?” she whispers. 
“Yes. More that air.”
“More than food?”
“Yes.”
“More than water?” I nod. 
“More than sunlight? Or the wind? Or the moon hanging over the mountains at night?” 
There are three stories running in it and none of them have gotten to completion yet, so that's the sole reason for my half a star deduction. In fact Callie throws in a blast from the past in the already muddy waters and the piranhas who want to devour these love souls have the waters churning. CANNOT wait to read the second book now
4.5 stars:-Firefly & Raised by the Wolves '
