It has been more than fifteen years since the Alvians destroyed the Earth’s
population with the intent to settle it themselves. But a few humans survived
the apocalypse, and it soon becomes apparent that those survivors often harbor
paranormal abilities of varying types and strengths.
Chief Engineer Davin is the only crystallographer with the ability to tune the
Earth’s crystals necessary for his alien race. Although Alvian, Davin is a
throwback, born with the primitive emotions long ago bred out of the rest of his
race. The anomaly makes his people wary of him, even while they need his
special talents, for throwbacks who do not find their RESONANCE MATES
are prone to eventual insanity.
Davin is more than surprised to find the woman he suspects is his own
RESONANCE MATE in the form of one very innocent human, fifteen-year-old
Callie O’Hara. Knowing she is too young to yet become his mate, he bides his
time until she matures. The very knowledge of her existence is enough to bring
him hope and stave off the madness that has long threatened him.
But Callie just may have a second RESONANCE MATE, the human Rick
St. John. As an adolescent male at the time of the cataclysm, he remembers how
things used to be, when a marriage involved only one man and one woman – not a
group of men with one woman. He vows he will never take part in such an
unnatural arrangement. But tragedy has a way of changing the way society works,
and meeting Callie just might make Rick change his own mind…
Together, this trio not only have the potential for great happiness and love,
but the power to change the world and save the future of mankind.
HARA’S LEGACY, the first book in Bianca D’Arc’s RESONANCE
MATES series, introduced fans to a post-apocalyptic Earth and the O’Hara
family, who settle into an unorthodox but definitely happy marriage with three
brothers married to the woman they’d all loved since childhood. With the second
book in this riveting saga, D’Arc returns her fans to the O’Hara family as their
first daughter, Callie, finds her RESONANCE MATES Davin and Rick
and forges a new life living with Davin among the Alvian race.
With her gift of empathy, Callie is more than a balm to Davin’s fragile
emotions, which he has struggled his whole life to suppress while living amongst
his unemotional brethren. The fact that Callie proves to be his destined mate
soothes him further, even as she fires his blood with her unconscious
sensuality.
Davin himself is more like a human than an Alvian, harboring a great deal of
compassion for the human race’s current predicament at the hands of his race,
and tremendous guilt over his own part in it, albeit unintenational. For the
Alvians could not have taken the Earth as they did without their most gifted
crystallographer. Because of the role he unknowingly played in the destruction
of the human race, Davin works tirelessly to right the wrongs done to mankind.
And then there is Rick. Rick is the friction in this romantic trio, with his
considerable doubts about entering into such an unconventional marriage
arrangement. Noble and brave, this futuristic hero effortlessly captures both
Callie’s and the readers hearts with his chivalrous actions. But as noble as he
is, he is not at all immune to Callie’s attempts to seduce him… Much to the
readers’ utter delight!
Just in case it has not yet become clear, DAVIN’S QUEST is a
ménage romance, as was the preceding story in this series. In a world where men
greatly outnumber the women, nature creates a solution by creating multiple
mates for each woman. Consequently, there is plenty of smoldering hot sex in
this story, but it is all between committed people in love, not for the purpose
of gratuitous titillation. Although I will admit, those scenes are
definitely titillating in a very good way! LOL
RESONANCE MATES, BOOK 2: DAVIN’S QUEST will most certainly appeal
to fans of futuristic romance who enjoy reading about ménage relationships.
Once again, Bianca D’Arc has delivered a story full of steamy sex, emotional
romance, and gripping suspense all wrapped up in a beautiful story of boundless
love and human resilience.
