Search - Untouchable (Emperor's Bride Bk 1)

Better then 22 nights but a bummer anyway. Couldn't get pas 1/2 of the book though. The witches series was really nice, the princes were OK but this 3 series is not well written at all. Characters are flat and I really couldn't 'get in to it'......
The story hinted might have been interesting but it is the same thing over and over just the characters have different names. Lots of medioker adventures that are meant to 'devalop' the characters. And the writing style is not any more one that would keep you 'glued' to the book. I'm sending my copy to the next unfortinate reader with hopes that she will enjoy it better.

Describtion of the book:
In Jones' Fyne Witches trilogy a pair of twin sons are born to Emperor Sebestyen of Columbyana. Now adults, Emperor Jahn and his moments-younger twin, Prince Alixandyr begin an adventure to find a bride for the Emperor. There is to be a contest, six women of worth from varying lands are to be brought to the palace to be offered the chance to be Empress. Messengers are sent to the far places at the height of the Spring Festival to return with the ladies in time for the Summer Festival where Jahn will choose his bride.

Princess Edlyn of Tryfyn's father is noted to not want his daughter traveling with just anyone so Alix is sent to retrieve her. While at the King of Tryfyn's court the new Queen demands that Alix bring a gift back to the Emperor along with the princess. Painted blue and scantily clad, Sanura is a woman of the Agnese. Gifted with the ability to see into the hearts of those around her she must never be touched by anyone save the man who owns her. One small touch and the blue which covers her skin will mark anyone who dares touch her for death. When Alix hesitates to take the pleasure slave the Queen makes it known she will kill Sanura instead so he takes her with them on their journey.

Through her gift Sanura can see that Alix is a good man, but there is a darkness within him she doesn't understand. His attraction to Sanura goes denied for much of their long journey until his dark side breaks free. When one of their traveling party is murdered and Alix and Sanura are blamed it is his dark side that saves them. But will the darkness ever go away? Can Alix desire and love Sanura without risking his very soul? Can Sanura save Alix from himself?

I found this to be a disappointment. The story continues in the same kingdom from her first 3 books about the 3 sisters & it takes place about 20+ yrs later. Unlike her other series I thought the characters were flat & boring. I didn't care about them or their problems. Definitely not a keeper.

this book was slow and went over and over the same things so it got old realy fast
