Petúr always knew he and his brothers-in-arms were different. Something more. Something not human. Yet, he never expected to find out the truth of their origins, nor fall for a human woman whose father was set to destroy Neverland.
Ever since she was a child, Wyndi dreamed of an angel with eyes of the purest gold, although she never really believed such a man existed until she met the hauntingly beautiful Petúr of the lost boys.
With a prophecy to fulfill, a woman to protect, a
portal to find, and evil darklings out for blood, will Petúr be strong enough
to rise up and claim what’s rightfully his, or lose everything to a long-time
nemesis, Grapple the Dark?
Maya's Review
Can I just say that I'm in love with the narrator's voice. I'm sure I must have said it before, but he has such a deep, seductive quality in his voice that transports you to each scene as he narrates the story whether it is an action scene or love scene. I have to confess that I prefer to listen to this author's audio books just so I can listen to John Thrust's narration.
As for the story, London has given us a dark paranormal romance in this retelling of Peter Pan and Neverland. I can tell you this is not the Peter Pan you read as a child. These lost boys are very grown up, if you catch my drift, and they each have hidden super powers which they use to fight the darklings. They kind of reminded me of the x-men. Petur doesn't know his full heritage and Grapple the Dark wants to prevent him from ever taking to the throne and to achieve his aims he needs Wyndi.
There's a lot going on here and we get to told the story from different perspectives, so you get to understand each character and their motivations. If you enjoy action, suspense and dark paranormal romance, then you should enjoy this one. Audio books are so easy to listen to. You can do it while doing other things. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Her tongue darted out, licking her lips. Was she
nervous? Well, he’d be the balm to soothe those nerves. He focused on her
mouth. Those delicious lips were kiss swollen and moist, making his cock strain
even more against the constraint of his pants.
“Okay,” she said in a small, breathy voice, the lids
covering her blue eyes at half-mast.
He reached for the hem of the too big nightshirt
covering the body he had to see, lifting until he revealed her little white
panties and lacy bra covered breasts. Blood raced through his veins. He wanted
to do everything with her. To her. Touch all over. Taste every inch of her. Put
his fingers and cock into the tight, warm sheath he knew was awaiting him.
Take her. Hell yeah. Those two words became a
chant within his mind. He wanted to take his woman in every position he could
imagine and then some. His woman? Yes. Yes she was his, or would
be. Slow your roll. You don’t want to scare her. He had to maintain.
He couldn’t go at her like some out of control beast.
Leaning down, he kissed between the creamy mounds of
her cleavage, skimmed his cheek across the apex of her right breast, watching
goose bumps scatter across her flesh in a wanton invitation. Unable to stop
himself from licking her, he lapped at her in one, long, lingering stroke, from
the top edge of the bra, up her collarbone, only stopping because the material
he’d lifted hindered his progress being bunched around her neck.
“Oh, hell,” he muttered. “You taste so good.”
She shook, and he wanted her shakes.
“I do?”
“Yes,” he answered, feeling her warm palms slide
down his biceps. Even that tantalized him. “I’m already addicted.” He went to
his elbows, slid his hands under her shoulder blades, arching her up, dropped
his head, grabbed the flimsy middle of her bra with his teeth, bit, and tugged,
ripping it free.
“Oh!” she uttered.
Moving the material aside with his nose, he pulled
back enough to see her, soaking every bit of her pink and white flesh in with
his eyes, before flicking a rosebud nipple with the tip of his tongue.
“Petúr.” He reveled in the sound of his name falling
from her lips, and sucked the nipple he’d been teasing into his mouth. “Mm…We
should stop.” He lightly bit. Swirled his tongue around the aroused nub.
“Oh…Never mind. Don’t stop,” she uttered, as she wrapped her legs around his
waist.
“Never stop. No.” He sounded like a Neanderthal, but
just then, when Wyndi pressed herself into his erection, he didn’t care.
London Saint James has lived in many places, but never felt “at home” until she met the real-life man of her dreams and settled down in the beautiful Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. London lives with her husband and their fat cat who thinks he owns them.
As an award-winning, bestselling, multi-published author, London is living her childhood dream. She knew all the scribbling she did, that big imagination of hers, and all those clamoring characters running around in her head would pay off someday.

The path that lead me to record erotic literature would make a pretty good story in itself. I may write it someday. It involves a cyber-relationship with a virginal gal whose secret goal in life was to become a full time sex slave. True Story. Her family would have NEVER guessed! I’d been recording regular “vanilla” type books prior to that, as a hobby, with an eye toward becoming a “real” voice actor. This gal pointed me to a specific book and in so doing introduced me to the world of BDSM literature (this, by the way, was right BEFORE “50 Shades of Grey” broke huge). Rather than just read the book, I recorded it. I shared it with her and with some other gals I’d met online. The response was startling to me. For the sake of modesty, I’ll spare the specific accolades. The one book led to the recording of another and then others. The feedback continued to be really, REALLY positive. So much so, that it occurred to me that this ‘erotic genre’ may be a niche I should pursue. So here I am pursuing it. I still record other books as well… but these books are the most fun *sly grin*. My background started in radio in college. I toyed with theater, did some plays - even did a short stint in Chicago’s famed Second City training program. LIFE intervened however and I got ‘a real job’ supporting computer networks in Chicago. Eventually that career ran its course and I decided it was time to do what I really WANTED to do – Voice Act. I enjoy it and I hope to help you enjoy your listening experience too.
