REVIEW - Assassin's Touch (Iron Portal #1) by Laurie London

The Book
Release Date: 1 November 2012

Two worlds. Two enemies.

Haunted by loss, Cascadian assassin Rickert D'Angelus is on a mission of vengeance. Determined to stop the Pacifican army from finding a portal to his world, he leads a group of warriors into New Seattle with one goal--to kill all Pacifican soldiers.

Neyla Trihorn had the perfect life until a deadly accident revealed her latent para-abilities. Now, the former fashion designer is the Pacifican army's hottest commodity in their fight against the invaders.

When Rickert discovers a beautiful, unconscious soldier on a cold mountain ledge near the portal, he realizes she's a Protection-Talent and cannot be killed. To prevent the army from using her skills again, he takes her as his prisoner instead.

One fated touch...

But when he pulls her into his arms, a sexy and compelling vision appears, awakening something inside him. Something he can't ignore.

Torn between duty and passion, Rickert must decide if the vision is a Talent trick designed to foil the enemy or the answer to his deepest desires...

My Review  3 STARS
**Copy Provided by Netgalley and Aspendawn Books, for an honest review**

It has taken me a while to get back to this forgotten book and i give the author credit for creating a new world and way of life within the novella she has brought to life.

Rickert and Neyla are brought together when Neyla's job as a protection talent leads her to where Rickert is hiding and protecting a portal into his world.  A portal that the army uses to kill the adults and abduct the children to get other talented children they can force into creating a more powerful world.

It seems the fates however have another thing on their mind as they show the pair that they were meant to be and the army are thwarted for the time being from stealing children.

The pair tear up the pages and the pages need fanning at times as the heat leaps from the pages with their chemistry.

A decent read and i look forward to reading the rest of the series.
