GOOD MONDAY ALL TO DAY IS BOOK RELEASE DAY FOR NINA MASON



Release Day Blitz: Knight of Pentacles by Nina Mason



The future looks bleak for Jenna Cameron when, after a five-year engagement, her fiancĂ© breaks it off the night before the wedding. Hoping to regroup, Jenna decides to drive alone to the cottage on Scotland’s mysterious Black Isle where they were supposed to spend their honeymoon. When her car breaks down, Jenna wonders if her troubles can get any worse. Then, while cutting through a secluded glen, she sees a handsome man bathing in a waterfall. The next day, she learns the man she saw is the faery knight who guards the portal into Avalon, the otherworld island ruled by Morgan Le Fay.

Jenna, ready to be rid of the virginity she’s saved in vain, offers herself to Sir Axel Lochlann, the shaman knight of Faery Glen. From that moment on, she finds herself inside a faery tale complete with druids, goblins, runic magic, and vampire owls. She also discovers powers she didn’t know she had—powers she can use to break Sir Axel’s bonds to Queen Morgan.

First, however, she must persuade Axel to put his desire to be free ahead of his duty to the queen he’s sworn to serve and obey.
Today we celebrate the release of Knight of Pentacles, book three in Nina Mason’s Knights of the Tarot series. Unlike the first two books in the series, which Nina revised and re-released on May 24, Knight of Pentacles has never been released before.

Knight of Pentacles, an erotic PNR/UF set primarily on Scotland’s Black Isle, tells of the romance between Sir Axel Lochlann, who guards the portal into Avalon, and Jenna Cameron, the daughter of a witch who hasn’t yet discovered her powers. Their love story is based on the old Scottish ballad of Tam Lin, which plays an important role in the book.

                                 MY REVIEW
    The third book in the knights of Tarot is all about Jenna and Sir Axel. Which I absolutely loved , this I think might be one of Nina's better books . She takes us a magical journey that will take you to Avalon and the Viking knights of lore . She mixes the Nordic lore with the magic of the fairy kingdom with such and ease . You are transported to a mystical realm where you will find your one true love and trust.
   I must say that the characters in this story are fascinating and very complex . We have Sir Axel a knight that is guarding the gate way to the fairy world in a beautiful glen of the fairies . He is strong and heroic and sexy as hell . He is torn between the human world and the world where he is nothing but a sex slave for Queen Morgan. You see him being torn apart from the duties he must preform with the Queen and the love of his life that walked into his life by accident . You see him struggle and then come to terms with all that is going on . He makes a great hero in my opinion. Jenna is a latent witch that has come to the small cottage to mend her broken heart. She is a shy girl that is coming into her own . We watch her grow as a woman as she falls in love with the man of her dreams . You see her begin to fight for what she wants and what she wants is Sir Axel . She would go to the ends of the earth for him. She would even fight the Morgan to save his life. We see her go from broken hearted virgin to the strong willed witch fighting the ever powerful witch. I loved watching her grow as a character. At first I felt a little sorry for her but I grew to love her as I read the book.
     This is a great read , I read it in one evening the pages turned themselves . The author weaves a tale that includes , fairies , gnomes . knights and oh yeah vampire owls all woven into one sweet story.  This story is full of sweet sex and romance that will blow your socks off  But it is also a story full of adventure and good versus evil. You will fall in love with the characters and the story will sweep you off your feet . The roller coaster ride is fun and fast you will be blown away . If you want a great story full of fantasy and love . Check it out you will not be disappointed .
 
Here’s a little more about the Knights of the Tarot series:

Knights of the Tarot, a four-part series, was born of a relatively simple concept. Nina wanted to write a paranormal/fantasy series incorporating different forms of divination. Tarot cards, astrology, runes, numerology, and the like. From that kernel grew the overarching storyline. The heroes of this contemporary paranormal series are Scottish noblemen of times past who were taken by the faeries into Avalon to serve as breeding drones to the queen, the legendary Morgan le Fay. Each of the books tells the story of a particular knight and the heroine whose love saves him from his unhappy existence.

Each hero grapples with a different relationship with their cruel and selfish queen. Callum Lyon, the knight of book one (Knight of Wands), is free of Morgan’s influence, having escaped Avalon after faking his death. Leith MacQuill, the knight of book two (Knight of Cups), was expelled from Avalon after the queen discovered his affair with one of the ladies of her court. To punish Leith, Morgan cursed him so any women he should fall in love with in the future would die.

In Knight of Pentacles, Axel Lochlann is still enslaved to the queen, who he serves as a guardian of the portal between the mortal and immortal realms.

The Knight of Swords (book four) is Finn MacKnight does not yet know he is destined to fulfill an ancient prophecy telling of the queen’s overthrow by a natural-born drone.
The knights are blood-drinking shape-shifters who can assume the form of any creature, real or mythical, but generally take the form of their alter ego. Callum’s preferred form is a lion, Leith’s is a Kellas Cat, Axel’s is a gyrfalcon, and Finn’s is a jaguar.
