Alex Ryan discovers he's not who and what he thought he was from a woman who's been watching him his entire life…and who isn't human
Guardian Seductress: Sisters of Emsharra 1
When the mysterious Genesis shows up at Alex Ryan's condo claiming to have known Alex's mother, warning that his father's death was no accident, and that Glenn Ryan wasn't the target, Alex thinks the woman is stark raving mad; once Genesis explains that she is not human, and has been watching Alex since he was born, he is certain of it.
Genesis is Inanna, an ancient race of people who subsist on the energy they regularly siphon from humans through sexual intercourse. But one of their own broke the sacred covenant twenty-eight years ago when she gave birth to the cambion, Alex Ryan. Now, time is running out. A power struggle is afoot in Emsharra, and a major shift is about to occur. The insurgent doesn't want any loose ends threatening her rise to power–mainly the only other blood kin of the current Quna: Alex Ryan and his treasonous guardian, Genesis.
Professional Reviews 4.5 Stars from JERR!
"...I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Sisters of Emsharra 1: Guardian Seductress. It was loaded with action, titillating sexual encounters, and most of all a good romantic plot line. No matter what was happening around Alex and Genesis, they never stopped eyeing each other as if they were a double scoop of Moose Tracks ice cream. I really enjoyed seeing their attraction come to life. Admittedly, their sex life was rushed and lacked great detailed, but the potential was there. I believe I noticed their lack of bed play because the characters were in lust with each other from page one. Despite the lack of intercourse, I really liked the characters and the story. Both Alex and Genesis seemed so lonely that I could not help but hope they would find something in the other that could cure their solitary existence. In one way or another they were always on the outside looking in, that was what made them perfect for each other. I was hooked on these characters and the world they lived in. This was my first time reading Gracie C. McKeever and I'm betting it will not be the last time. I found Sisters of Emsharra 1: Guardian Seductress thoroughly enjoyable.

"What would a world look like in which human were the prey and two races fought over how to properly conserve or use this prey? Step inside Gracie C. McKeever’s fabulous GUARDIAN SEDUCTRESS: SISTERS OF EMSHARRA BOOK 1 to get a taste...
GUARDIAN SEDUCTRESS is the first book in a series about the sexy Sisters of Emsharra and it is a winner! Gracie C. McKeever has done an exceptional job of world building as the reader is immediately drawn into Genesis and Alex’s plight. Their romance is both sweet and spicy and readers will cheer Genesis for being willing to break the social taboos of her culture that amount to nothing more than a form of racism against humans. The sex scenes are tasteful but steamy and sure to heat up anyone’s warm night!
Gracie C. McKeever does a wonderful job of explaining the intricate details of the world of the Inanna and Sebitu. Explanations for concepts such as kundalini, the life force necessary for survival, are all provided in the context of the story as well as in a very useful glossary at the end. The idea of the conservation of humans was an interesting twist and one this reviewer had never seen before. Kalika had high hopes for Alex as she envisioned him as solving both the problem of a shrinking food supply as well as ending the war on the borders between the Inanna and the Sebitu.
Readers of urban fantasy and erotica would do well to take a peek at GUARDIAN SEDUCTRESS: SISTERS OF EMSHARRA BOOK 1. The story is both highly enjoyable as well as thought provoking. Gracie C. McKeever is obviously a gifted writer and it is well worth adventuring into her fantasy realm to explore the world of the Sisters of Emsharra."

Particularly enjoyable was the interweaving of the paranormal, erotic, and romance elements with the backdrop of mythological Sumerian spirituality. Ms. McKeever demonstrates her remarkable talent for world-building." Reviewed by Annie for Euro Reviews.
