Book Description

Souls' Embrace, 2006

One night Mauren dreams of the perfect man, only to wake and find his image perfectly etched on her mind. The next night his spirit suddenly and sweetly visits hers from afar. It is the beginning of a courtship of souls that will bring Mauren to fall impossibly in love with a charming, enigmatic soldier named Kier, stationed hundreds of miles away. But when Kier mysteriously loses contact with her, Mauren is determined to find him, alive or dead. Her quest brings her to seek the help of the charismatic Master Xiturias, a man of great psychic power. Xiturias swears his assistance, but his growing obsession with Mauren corrupts him. As Mauren falls more and more under the Master's spell, it could mean the end of hope for her and Kier. Souls' Embrace explores the spiritual and erotic journey of a woman torn between sacred devotion to her ideal soul mate and the irresistible allure of a magical sage determined to possess her. Set in a fantastical medieval world, the story plays out as the classic conflict between the bright and dark sides of sexuality. It is a tale packed with adventure, unforgettable characters, intensely sensual sex scenes, and a transcendent love story.

Reviews

Kier, from Souls' Embrace, 2006

"Souls' Embrace is a lovely, intense, magical tale...a deeply erotic, loving journey. We share with Mauren her longing, her hope, and her connection with Kier. The book never degenerates into corniness or uses the physical love the characters share to shock the reader. Eroticism is always used to move the book forward and to show us deeper levels of the characters' minds. In particular, the growing obsession Xiturias has for Mauren is gripping and horrifying on many levels. The book's strengths definitely reside in the descriptions of the bond between Mauren and Kier. It is so real, so believable, and so well developed that you cannot help but be drawn into it and with that, be drawn into Mauren and Kier's lives. You want them to be together; and in rooting for them, you are transported into their world. Equally strong is the description of Xiturias's descent into obsession and wickedness. Soul's Embrace will appeal to any reader who is looking for more than just romance and superficial sex. It has a supernatural romance, strong main characters, and a lovely ending. It's one you'll read again and again."

Mauren, from Souls' Embrace, 2006

"Souls' Embrace is an enchanting love story which poses many questions. Can two soul mates find each other through space and time? Can they fall in love without physically meeting? Can a woman resist powerful magic to stay true to her soul mate? Souls' Embrace has likable characters and a strong storyline. The dialogue between Mauren and Kier is just lovely. Heck, I could see how she could fall in love with him even without laying eyes on him. Souls' Embrace is a highly sensual book. The erotic tension permeates through it."

"Soul's Embrace is captivatingly sensual. This book is a mixture of fantasy and sensual romance at its best. Diana Laurence is a creative author. She manages to ensnare her readers with a fairy tale like romance that is so sensually captivating, that you have no other choice but to continue reading."
