Here is an excerpt:
Aedan paused an inch from Rhosewen’s face, searching for unwillingness, but there wasn’t a refusal to find, only a subtle parting of the plump, pink lips he could no longer resist.
Their first kiss was unhurried, intense and more meaningful than any before it. Eager to accept and prolong, they held each other tightly, memorizing and savoring every taste and feel, every second of every sensation.
By the time they stopped to breathe, they were bathed in moonlight.
“I want to see you again,” Aedan whispered, keeping his fingers buried in soft spirals. He wanted to see her every day for the rest of his life. He wanted to kiss her like that every morning and every night. He wanted to wake up to her aqua eyes forever.
“I’d like that, too,” Rhosewen replied, “but I don’t know if it’s a good idea.”
“I think it’s the best idea I’ve ever had,” he countered.
“We barely know each other,” she argued.
“I’m trying to remedy that,” he returned.
“I’m leaving in a week, Aedan.”
“Are you trying to convince me?” he asked. “Or yourself?”
She didn’t answer, and Aedan took her silence as a good sign. “Have you ever been to the Devil’s Den Nature Preserve?” he asked, keeping her pressed against him, terrified to let go.
“No, but I hear it’s beautiful.”
“It is,” he confirmed. “We could make it there in about an hour and a half. Will you let me take you?”
“When?”
“Tomorrow. We could fly over before sunrise and spend the day there.” He held his breath, waiting for her answer.

Love this series! I read the first two books and can't wait for the third. I'm counting down the days. There's mystery and suspense, but I wouldn't consider it dark at all. Just good and evil, mixed with romance and magic.
