Centuries ago, Meryn was thought to be utterly lost--all traces of his soul given up to the ravening goblin horde. But with the curse that enslaved him now broken, he must once again learn to walk in the realm of men.
Nurse Nadine Gilbert likes working the night shift to avoid her disturbing dreams, but her mysterious new patient looks hauntingly familiar. Meryn knows he doesn't deserve a second chance, but Nadine brings out his long-buried human side. Telling her the truth about his violent past could destroy their fragile trust. Could she ever believe in the love of a Goblin Warrior?
My thoughts:
This book felt light and easy, even with the darkness in it. It was a romance about two people being saved by each other.
Meryn used to be a Goblin who stole gold and killed. Now he is back int he real world, 2000 years later. He is lost, but he is smart. He mourns in family, and the darkness of the Goblin hangs over him. But he is a nice guy, a man who just want to live again..if there was something to live for.
Nadine is a nurse who have nightmares (yes goblins there too). He father is in jail for killing her mother and she has blocked that out. She may go on about her life, but there is something there. Something sad. Then Nadine and Meryn meet. Something pulls them together. They are meant to be. But first they have things to go through. He needs to let go of his past and she needs to deal with her past. Not to mention that you know the whole Goblin thing is gonna pop up and mess things up.
Conclusion:
A good romance, 2 people just meant to be. Throw in a little paranormal and there you have it.

It's a good series, not that pnr heavy, more romance
DeleteThe title sounds so odd to me but the story interests me. I don't think I've read about goblins before either.
ReplyDeleteThey are not really your typical kind of paranormal romance hero ;)
DeleteI love me some Goblins ! I blame Labyrinth! I think I must read this series :)
ReplyDeleteOh right, I forgot about that. But then I never did watch the movie
DeleteThis series intrigued me when it came out, but I never did pick up the first one. This one sounds good though.
ReplyDeleteIt was good, and short ;)
DeleteSounds lik a good one and that is one cute Goblin Warrior!
ReplyDeleteOh yes he is one find goblin warrior
DeleteI love the idea of Goblins... well, hot ones. LOL This one sounds like a lot of fun. Love the summation at the end. :)
ReplyDeleteYes hot ones, not really a fan of those Lord of the rings Goblins
DeletewWell, when he was Goblin he was gray and creepy. He then came back to human, so it's not that they are overly sexy to start with
ReplyDeleteI'll make a note that it's a nice read, Blodeuedd. I think the cover initially scared me away... ;) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt did? Lol, well all those half clad men do get boring in the end
DeleteCan I just say that for some reason thinking of goblins doesn't bring to mind hunky men and romance!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteHaha, you are right. it does not say romance and heroes
DeleteIs it Friday yet?!
ReplyDeleteYES!!!!!!
DeleteOh this does sound good. And it's the 3rd! Hmm, I missed the other two. lol. I'll have to go look at them. Thank you.
