The Danfians Prophecy ( An Epic Scifi Fantasy Romance) by L. Sengul

This was an interesting combination of science fiction, fantasy, and romance. The first person narrative by the main character, twenty-one year old Chloe Rose, starts out as she watches a man she obviously finds attractive, although she is hiding from him. This certainly got my attention. The narrative then continues from the point of view of the young man, Alexander Cruz. Somehow he is aware that … Continue reading The Danfians Prophecy ( An Epic Scifi Fantasy Romance) by L. Sengul

My list of romantic thrillers or even horror stories with love and romance tangled in is quite extensive. Unfortunately many of those are by well known published writers.
