Carrie Woods is fascinated by ancient history and mythology which leads to her chosen field of study. Her dream of success is within her grasp when she is considered for a teaching position at UC Berkley. In order to secure the job she has to come up with a brilliant thesis - one that will blow her competition out the water. Carrie will prove that the Scrolls of Destiny, are in fact, truth and not theory, she just needs to find Wei Lin's journal. Her search takes her to a Chinese monastery where she notices a mysterious handsome monk each time she tours the building. On her final visit, she sneaks into the archives and locates the journal, as well as other documents for her proof. Instead of her original plans, which were to take photos and put the documents back, Carrie finds herself accidentally lifting them from the monastery. Worse, she is sure the mysterious monk has seen her do it.


Maximillian Prescott inherited his role as Guardian long ago as an orphaned teen and wields the element of Metal. While staying at the monastery where he was trained, he notices a woman steal ancient documents that are supposed to remain secret from the world. Max is taken aback by this, wondering how such a sweet innocent looking person could do such a thing. However, he knows first hand looks can be deceiving and follows her to the United States to take back the documents. He has devised a plan to get closer to Carrie, one he knows she will be unable to resist.

 

 

Once back in the US, Carrie is offered an opportunity translating Chinese manuscripts. She is shocked to find out her stunning new employer is the monk from the monastery. Not only is she walking on a fine line with documents she took stowed away in her backpack, her desire for the man is kicking into over drive. Max can only believe she’s up to no good when he discovers Carrie is friends with his rival Rhys Llewellyn and he’s set on finding out just what it is. Max doesn’t count on the deep need that she stirs up in him though. Matters become more complicated when it is discovered someone else is also after the documents. Sparks ignite between Max and Carrie until things reach a boiling point neither can ignore. However, can they trust each other in time to stop the person out to gain access to the power the documents provide before it’s to late?

 

 

CHOSEN BY DESIRE gives us another look into Kate Perry’s exciting world of her GUARDIANS OF DESTINY. Spellbinding, sensual, and full of nonstop entertainment, this read kept me on edge. The original plot is filled with just the right amount of humor, action, and romance to keep the pages turning.  Ms. Perry does such a remarkable job of building up passion with never quite taking things over the edge. The chemistry between her protagonists is highly tangible, yet the way they grasp at you individually is equally as compelling. Be prepared to fall into a world of ancient Chinese magic and smoldering guardians you won’t wish to escape from anytime soon.
