Review- Blessed- Ann Mayburn

blessed

Eliana Shay is an ordinary college girl with an extraordinary birthright. When handsome professor, Aiden Klemenson, sees her, he singles her out as a potential Chosen of the benevolent gods of Creation. He tries to convince Eliana that she is born to do the work of the gods—something unique and powerful. But Eliana’s past doesn’t allow her to have the trust she needs—in Aiden’s gods and the man himself.
Aiden must employ all of his considerable charm to break through her defenses, while trying to keep their relationship strictly platonic. A difficult task when the lush and curvy Eliana’s obvious desire and seductive aura shreds his self-control. Despite his best efforts, desire burns between them with an enchantment all its own.
The gods of Destruction will stop at nothing to keep Eliana from becoming a powerful force against evil. Cunning and deceitful, they send demons and magical serial killers to exterminate her before she can become a Creation god’s Chosen hand on earth. In order to survive, Eliana will have to learn to have faith in her own strength and the warrior who stole her heart.

Tamara’s Review
The world of the Chosen is rife with Magic and Mystery, Mythology and Legend, Creation, Destruction, Passion and Love. Yeah, I kinda love this world!
I have a real soft spot for stories based on ancient myths. I love delving into the history and the Chosen draws all the pantheons of the Gods together in one new world. The Greeks, Romans, Celts, Nordic, African, Egyptian… all the Gods from everywhere, so what a base Miss Mayburn has to choose from in creating her stories.
Blessed had me from page one. I felt an immediate connection to Eliana. I generally don’t like young 20’s heroines (Eliana is a college student) but Ellie is mature, funny and snarky. She is a wonderful combination of emotional innocence and inner fire. This poor girl gets some sh*t thrown at her that would make your head spin and she doesn’t whine and wail, she accepts with an open mind, pulls up her big girl panties and moves on.
The men who enter her life: Aiden, Jack and Devon are hot, hunky heroes, with a tremendous responsibility to both society and their Gods. Aiden and Elaina were great together, but I loved the addition of the other males, not as love interests, but as protectors and secondary characters. I can tell you I am totally stoked to read Devon’s story in Dreamer! I can’t wait to see what kind of girl will win his heart.
Blessed was a fast paced read that kept you turning the pages. There was a new danger around every corner and enough hot love scenes to make your panties melt. I was dying to get to the end… but didn’t want the ride to be over.
I highly reccomend Blessed to anyone who enjoys paranormal romance.
