A few special
humans are endowed with paranormal abilities, and it is Caleb O’Hara’s gift of
precognition that saves his family from certain death when the aliens attack
Earth, nearly obliterating the human race. Having moved his brothers and wife
to a remote cabin, they make a new home for themselves.
But the lack of female companionship sees Caleb’s brothers growing restless and
frustrated, and Caleb knows that life as they know it must change if the family
is to stay together – something that must happen if they are to live through the
next challenge from the Alvian invaders.
He knows his two brothers love Jane as much as he does. But to keep the family
together, he must convince them of the new path his visions have dictated they
must take in order to survive, no matter their reluctance. To coexist with the
coldly clinical Alvian race, the human race must learn to adapt drastically to
their changed world, and the O’Haras will lead the way.
It is hard
to believe that popular author Bianca D’Arc was first published only 16 months
ago! With thirteen published books under her belt that encompass six separate
series, she has quickly moved up the ranks of many fans’ must-buy lists, and
with very good reason. Not only has Ms. D’Arc proved to be a prolific writer,
but she spins yarns of the supernatural, futuristic, and fantasy with such
realism that you find yourself completely immersed in her worlds, with no desire
to leave.
Her newest series, RESONANCE MATES, is off to a running start with
a fantastic futuristic tale of an apocalyptic Earth struggling to survive in
HARA’S LEGACY. As with her DRAGON KNIGHTS saga, this
story contains frequent ménage scenes, but they never feel gratuitous, as D’Arc
writes them in such a way that the act makes complete sense. Indeed, she makes
the reader feel that this is the only way these characters can continue on, and
reader acceptance is easily grasped. I’ve often quipped that this author writes
the most innocent ménage scenes I have ever seen, but it really is true. Of
course, the innocence lies solely in the catalyst for the ménage, the act itself
is hotter than hot and will steam the ink right off the pages of the book!
The O’Hara family is a close knit unit, dedicated to each other’s happiness and
comfort in the bleak existence that they have been relegated on post-invasion
Earth. As the oldest brother, Caleb leads the family, and his visions prove an
invaluable asset to his role.
Caleb’s wife, Jane, is the heart of the family, and her empathic powers aid her
in assuring the emotional well-being of her men. Having grown up with the three
brothers, she has loved them all for many years, and they in turn have loved
her.
Justin is the middle brother, and his destiny proves important to the survival
of the O’Hara family. His bad boy persona belies the man inside that relishes
the concept of family and craves something more in his life. The telekinetic
abilities he was born with serve a warrior like him well, but Justin is quick to
recognize that there is a time to fight and a time to reason.
The youngest brother, Mick, is the gentlest and the most reserved. As a
veterinarian before the invasion, he quickly adapted his medical skills to serve
as family doctor, a task which his powerful telepathy assists with time and
again.
There is something to love about each of the O’Hara brothers, and it is easy to
see why Jane is so enamored of them all. Any woman would be lucky to find her
own O’Hara man, much less capture the hearts of all three.
In this reviewer’s opinion, Bianca D’Arc has hit another one out of the ball
park with the release of RESONANCE MATES, BOOK 1: HARA’S LEGACY.
Fans will be both overjoyed and somewhat disappointed to learn that this saga
will culminate in the fifth book. On one hand, I’m excited that we will learn
the fate of these enchanting characters so soon, but I know that I will be
disappointed when the series is complete. With only one book currently
published, I find myself fervently hoping that there will be opportunity for
D’Arc to spin a sub-series out of this one before it is all over.
If you love a great futuristic science fiction tale with plenty of sensual
romance and steamy ménage scenes, you will not want to miss HARA’S LEGACY!!
