What if the enticing man who has just seized your every sense enlightens you to realms beyond our dimension? Can that spark of love withstand a war to protect mankind? Kairos: An Enmortals Series Novel by K. J. Coakley is the spellbinding novel that reveals that the deepest love need not be confined to the trappings of one world.
The first in a series of paranormal romances, Kairos swirls in mankind, magic, and mythology as it chronicles the first blush of yearning between Sulwen Macgregor, a shy and sheltered college senior, and Logan Thatcher, a mesmerizing former playboy with arresting good looks, an offbeat sense of humor, and an ironclad moral code. When the two meet, Sulwen has no inkling that she soon will embark on an odyssey that not only exposes Logan as other than mortal, but uncovers astonishing aspects of her own being as well.
As Logan saves Sulwen from fast-approaching peril, the two must discover if their love is truly without bounds and strong enough to fend off adversaries far more craven than they ever could fathom. With wild imagination, otherworldly passion, and heart-pumping action, Kairos goes where no human being has dared, all in the name of love.

Her dark lashes lie against her ivory skin. A few tiny freckles are speckled over the bridge of her nose. I run my finger from the indent next to her pert little nose, over her high cheekbone, and then trace the edge of her hairline down and around her ear. My eyes watch with rapt attention, taking in every detail of her beautiful face. She is the most breathtakingly beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. I smirk as I think of how she doesn’t even realize how truly alluring she is. God, I love this woman.
I settle her down on the grass and lean down to graze my lips over hers. Her warm breath glides over my cheek as I turn my face into hers and run my nose and lips along her jaw.
“I love you, Sulwen Macgregor,” I whisper softly next to her ear. I kiss the tip of her nose and then gently lay her down.
As I stand I steal one more glance at her and feel the smile that breaks across my face. So peaceful. So much of everything that I need lies there looking like a nymph in the grass.

Sulwen lost her father a year ago and her mother left them when she was a little girl, she wants to finish college to make her father proud and then start her career as a romance writer. With her best friend by her side she lives life as best she can, when she's not working or doing school work. So when strange things start happening to her Sully doesn't know what to do, but one things all the strangeness has in common is Logan. Drop dead, wipe the drool off your mouth gorgeous, he's everything she ever wanted in a guy. He mesmerizes her and the attraction seems to be mutual, but when secrets and lies by omission become the norm from him she has to decide if he's worth the trouble or if she's better of staying single. And when she demands the truth from him......things get a little crazy.

Sulwen seems to have a good head on her shoulders, she does what she has to for work and is determined to finish school even when the weight of her fathers death still brings her down. She's strong and confident, until it comes to Logan. I can understand being a bumbling fool at a first meeting, but even after she gets the guy she has a tendency to zone out because of his hotness. At first I thought she was a strong character, but as the story continued I had a hard time liking her character when she rolled over so easily.

Logan is a hottie with a nice body, but he's also smart, kind and caring. All great things until you get to his secrets which end up being a major source of contention between the two throughout.

Now then the paranormal aspect of this book is where I was most disappointed. The concept of it was interesting and the glimpses you get keep you interested, but as time went on in the story I was disappointed about how little information was given about this world and it made it harder to get into the story. Overall I liked the idea of the story, I just wished there was more background in it to make it more readable.
