REVIEW
The Secret Door - Budapest Moon Book 4
The Budapest Moon series shows us werewolves have feelings too. There are good and bad in their species as there are in humans. Humans do not understand how a werewolf's nature and honour work and because of this the wolves must hide their true nature from fellow humans.
BLURB:
It's 1927 and Lord Zoltan Kristos, Hungary's Minister of the
Interior, takes great pains to hide the fact he's a werewolf from the world.
Despite his efforts, he's recognized when he goes to the Austrian-Hungarian
border to inspect the area for damage from a recent rare earthquake.
Zoltan is accused of stealing Kurt Meklau's witch, Inna, and
is recklessly pursed to Volturn Manor, a residence belonging to another
werewolf family, the Vargas. After a fight with Meklau, Zoltan barely escapes
and his adversary is found dead.
Sophia Varga and Tomas Martin find Zoltan. Sophia is
determine to attend to Zoltan's injuries and protect her home, but when Kurt's
father, Marcus, comes seeking revenege, Sophia is tested like never before. As
Zoltan and Sophia work together, attraction and desire flame between them.
Will the secrets Volturn Manor harbors offer Zoltan and
Sophia the clues they need to defeat Marcus and give them the opportunity to
explore their feelings for one another?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Can you hang garlic plants
among the peppers? Even as men the garlic should keep Marcus and his brothers
away." Zoltan stood at the entrance to the garden, his soulful grey-blue
eyes unable to hide his disgust at the damage before him.
"We have some garlic, but
not enough for the entire crop," replied Tomas.
"If Marcus sends his gypsies
who aren't wolves, the garlic won't stop them." Sophia studied Zoltan. He
now exuded a feral masculinity in his firm expression and an air of command in
his voice. He appeared well rested and it was early in the day -- 12:30 p.m.
Usually, her parents didn't get up until 2 p.m. after a transformation.
"We'll need the patrols,
too." Zoltan paused, glancing at Tomas.
Tomas nodded. "I believe
there's a farmer's market in Sopron's main square today. I'll send a crew out
to buy as much as they can, but I don't think it will be enough."
"Send some workers to Györ
to buy from their markets as well," suggested Sophia.
"Good idea." Tomas
clasped his hands before him, and Sophia spied a spark of hope on his face.
"I suggest you focus on that
task, Tomas. It needs to be completed by nightfall. I'm going to confront
Marcus."
Sophia furrowed her brow.
"Now?"
"Yes, now. Do you have an
auto?"
"I do, but--"
"Then I hope you don't mind
if I borrow it."
Sophia pursed her lips,
disapproving of his request. "Have you thought this out?"
"Marcus is a beast. I will
not cower to him, and I want him to know it."
"Then I'll come with
you."
"No." His voice was
firm.
"If you want to use my auto,
I'm going with you."
"This isn't your
problem."
"You made it mine when you
brought Inna here," she retorted.
