Kindle Edition Amazon Remedy Maker Category:  Romance Publisher: Temple Publishing ISBN-10:  1479195103 Type: Fiction Pages: 411 Copyright: August 1, 2012 Man by day, centaur by night, a remedy-maker battles his nightmares to save the herd's kingdom, and the life of a beautiful nymph. Man by day, Centaur by night, Rhycious is a remedy maker who needs his own healing. He's the royal physician, famous for his cures. War and posttraumatic stress disorder has broken his spirit, preventing him from finding true happiness. Then a direct order from the queen to investigate an uprising forces him out of his secluded cabin at the edge of the forest. Patience is an optimistic, good-natured Wood Nymph who works as a mediator to ensure harmony within the Nymph sector. Environmental pollution in the aquifer stream that feeds the taproot tree of her heart is slowly killing her. Resigned to the fact she will not live long, she sets out to discover the mysterious disappearance of her sister. Experience has taught her to deny herself the love of a male, but the gruff Centaur is different. He doesn't push his expectations on her, only his healing nature. When Rhycious loses his grip on reality, he believes his inability to control his disorder will drive Patience away. Nevertheless, desire flares, and Patience draws him close. Kidnapping and betrayal turn their mythic joint venture into a deadly bout. Will their love endure when survival hinges on trusting each other?         Excerpt “You ever see her before?” “No, I haven’t.” Rhy ran his hands down both bare legs and a slender exposed arm. He checked for broken bones, noting her supple skin and a clean woodsy scent. Her blouse had an unusual design, made of homespun fibers. It had a diagonal cut neckline with tiny puff sleeves, pink and soft. Created from the same material, a short skirt flared, and was embroidered with spring-green leaves. A tickle teased his neck again, but not from annoyance this time. He repeated the examination of her other arm. Tension curled tighter in his gut, suspicion spread like spilled wine. Tilting her head with care, he pushed her dark brown hair from her smooth décolletage, sucked in a short breath, and froze. “What is it? Snake bite?” Samuel raised the brass lantern higher and leaned over for a better view. Rhy tapped his thumb against her neck. Designs a few shades darker than her natural color marred the creamy complexion. The millennia old skin formation carved its way into his painful memories. It started behind her ear, an inch wide at the hairline, and extended to the other side. The words choked out of him. There was no use trying to hide his revulsion. “Wood Nymph.”

I must say that I am sad REMEDY MAKER by SHERI FREDRICKS ended and I had to move on to another book. There was nothing left unanswered. The story was finished beautifully. I just didn't want it to end. I loved the characters so much that I was really sad to say goodbye to them. I have never read about Centaurs or Wood Nymphs before and I was so intrigued with them and their quirkiness and at times outright volatile emotions. What a gift Ms. Fredricks has for storytelling.

I have wanted to read REMEDY MAKER since I first heard about it. What happened when I finally had some personal time to read it? I was not disappointed in the least. It was such an amazing page turner, I found that my finger would hit the screen to turn the page way before it should have. I can't tell you how many times I had to reverse a page on my Kindle because my very excited finger couldn't keep still long enough for me to actually finish reading the page I was on because I just couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next.

I found the character of Rycious, the Remedy Maker, magical in the way Ms. Fredricks wrote him. He's gorgeous, man by day, centaur by night, the pillar of strength and yet so fragile. He broke my heart. Then you have Patience, the very ill wood nymph with a beautiful, loving spirit and the vocabulary of Snoop Dogg. I LOVED IT!

Another very intriguing storyline of the book that I thought was brilliant is that it's written in present day. These mythological beings live among unknowing humans and must keep their identities hidden from the human hunters. This is just another fantastic storyline in a book that is jam packed with amazing storylines. Ms. Fredricks has the ability to weave multiple intricate and detailed storylines together flawlessly and I am literally on pins and needles waiting to read whatever else she writes.

My advice to anyone that enjoys fantasy, romance, mythological creatures and some really great sex, is to pick this book up immediately! This book was filled with fresh and new things for me and I really loved reading it.

Original and Different
I loved this book.It was the first book that I read where our hero,Rhycious is a centaur by night and human by day. He is suffering from PTSD form the war between the centaurs and the wood nymphs that took place 150 years before,so he has become a hermit whose only friend is an Amish man whose family has helped the centaurs for 3 generations.One night Samuel brings a hurt woman to Rhyscious to heal as that is what Rhycious is,is a healer.When he finds out she is a wood nymph he wants her gone,but he can't make himself throw her out to the elements.Patience (the heroines name) is dying and so she has decided to try and find her sister who she is convinced is in danger.To shorten it down,Rhycious and Patience end up working together to stop another war between the centaurs and the wood nymphs and rescue her sister in the meantime. The book it steamy and the story if wonderful.This is the first I have heard of this author but I can guarantee that anything else she writes, I will be buying the day it comes out!!!!! I was able to get the book a little cheaper because it was on special but it is worth every penny of the $7.99 it is currently going for,take a chance,you won't be sorry if you like paranormal,romance,with a lot of steam and of course a HEA.Good reading to you!!!

Remedy Maker
I instantly fell in love with the characters and story line of this book, Rhy especially (hot, hot and HOT!) I also loved the concept it carried, the different races intermingling for the first time known in history and them falling in love without a second thought of the background of the evil prejudice that has clouded many's vision for far too long. I found myself laughing, crying and holding my breath in suspense many times over throughout reading. There's a ton of humor, action, adventure, super sexy sex and fun to be had in this wonderfully vivid work of Sheri Fredricks'. Any paranormal lover that wants to enjoy something completely original will get great joy reading Remedy Maker :)

Rhy is a man during the day and a Centaur through the night. He's also a remedy maker, a very well known and well respected one, that's super hot (oh, did I mention that already?) and has a super deep problem within himself that even his remedies cannot cure. He lives alone and loves his solidarity. He enjoys helping people, but does not want them to invade his personal space. PTSD has made him this way, it's how he best lives with it. But that all changes when his dear friend Samuel brings an injured Wood Nymph to his humble abode; she invades much more than his living space and he's not quite sure how to deal with it.

Patience is one kind, caring, beautiful and very positive thinking Wood Nymph whose way of talking had me laughing out loud multiple times. But her use of words allows us to see how and why she's perfect for the job she does which is a mediator for the Nymph's and she's very good at it! Injured while searching for her missing sister, she awakens and finds herself in a strange place feeling a bit worse for wear. Meeting the well known remedy maker brings forth feelings she's never before experienced and is unsure how to deal with them. But our forever loyal and reliable fate runs its course and fixes that issue with incredible smoothness ;)

I loved experiencing the growth of both the main characters, growth of love, strength and character. Together they alone accomplished a very difficult task that none other could accomplish for years and they also pulled the wool from many eyes of those who had a very strong prejudice and/or just a misguided mind. If I was to be asked my favorite paranormal couple of this year is so far it would hands down be Patience and Rhy. They are two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together and each gives the other balance, contentment and happiness they have never known.
