Book Review: Degeus Is A Hero So Yummy, I Want Him For Breakfast!
Summary: 5 Stars

Dageus is everything you fantasize about. He's big, strong, brave, completely unselfish, romantic, and devoted to those he loves... yet he becomes dominant,wild, and passionate in bed. Yummy! These are some of the most erotic love scenes ever.

In 16th century Scotland, Degeus and his twim brother Drusten are members of the mystical Druids. Degeus is devastated when his twin brother is killed in a fire. He risks losing his own soul in exchange for his brother's life. Now he is tormented by 13 evil souls who are fighting his own good soul for his body. His only hope is to find a way to wash the evil ones from his body. If they win, he will become an evil power so great, the world will face destruction. Each time Degeus uses the evil ones' magic, they take over another piece of his being. He must use the magic to travel through time and steal ancient tomes that hold the information about the curse he is suffering.

Modern day historian,Chloe, is of Scotish decent. She has always dreamed of visiting the land of her ancestors. She is fascinated by Celtic antiquities. When her boss sends her to a rich man's penthouse, to loan him an ancient tome, she is amazed at his collection of artifacts. While snooping around his home, Chloe comes across some ancient tomes that have been stolen from local museums. Degeus catches her snooping in his room, and has no choice but to keep her until he can finish reading the tomes and return them to museums.

From the moment Degeus catches the pretty girl snooping under his bed, his mind can think of only one word: "Mine." He is instantly possessive of Chloe and can't let her go. Even when he returns the tomes to their owners, he wants to keep her. He convinces her to return to his home land, Scotland.

Over the next weeks, the couple travel Scotland, and they travel through time. They are franticallly searching for a way to wash Degeus of the evil ones who are slowly consuming him. Chloe's love is the one thing that keeps Degeus strong. Still, the evil souls are becoming more powerful. When enemies kidnap Chloe, Degeus must use magic to save her life. He knows that it will mean giving the evil ones so much power, he will no longer be able to fight them. He has only one choice: give in to the evil magic to save Chloe, then take his own life to keep the evil ones from using his body to destroy all of mankind.

Degeus is a hero who gives all of himself to save the ones he loves. Twice, he has sacrifised himself. Once for his brother's life, then again for Chloe and mankind. When Chloe returns home with her heart aching over the loss of Degeus, she learns that he had gone to great lengths, months earlier, to insure that she would be taken care of should he die. He also left her a note to let her know of his eternal devotion. Yet all of the riches and comforts in the world can not replace him. Her heart can not give up hope that a miracle may still be possible. Time travel is no longer possible. Is there anyone who can give Degeus his life back?

Karen Moning's writting isn't totally smooth. Often, you have to reread a sentence to catch what she is saying. However, her story lines, characters, love scenes and mystic edge are excellent. There was no way I could put this book down until I finished it.
