Another Day of Happy Dance

His Hope, Her Salvation received 4.5 out of 5 stars from Lexile at Night Owl Reviews...

"Lai has a firmer grasp of her world and the characters within it, gives a clearer purpose to the Guardians themselves and a stronger focus on the mate-bond. I look forward to more stories about the Guardians for certain!"

"I hope to see Eallair find his mate in a future story, but I'm unsure what I think of Orla. Her brief appearance in the story acts as a sort of counterbalance to Judith. Orla is beautiful, confident and self-assured of her own worth as a woman while Judith begins as a shy, hesitant girl afraid for her life. But whereas Judith is sympathetic and interesting to watch, Orla rubbed me the wrong way with her clinging and clear lack of dignity."

And for those who are curious, I'm furiously trying to complete Eallair's story for submission next week. Wish me luck! As for Orla, the woman every woman loves to hate, she makes an appearance in Eallair's story and doesn't make herself any more loveable. But, remember, people can redeem themselves!

  1. People tell me they hate my High Priestess. But she's the only one standing between maintaining humanity's history and chaos... When you finally let readers into Orla's head, they'll all be thrilled to see she's got reasons for being the way she is. And that she's human! Congrats on your review.

  2. LOL! I think every book needs someone to hate. Orla's got I-S-S-U-E-S needless to say. Now if she'd just let me know what they were I could write her story!
