I was looking for something with a bit of spice to read and I found "Reclaimed" by Kim Faulks. This is the first book in the series and fit the bill perfectly.  It was exactly what I was looking for. This book has enough heat to melt the polar ice caps!The story follows Natalie an armed bodyguard for hire, who just taken a new job that is about to turn her world upside down as the supernatural crashes into her reality. Natalie finds herself in the midst of a very old love triangle between Alexander and Malik whom both have been searching for her for lifetimes. Natalie's love life is about to get complicated as she searches for the truth. In her search for the truth she will find temptation, lust and love all wrapped up in two men who are fighting for her love.One of the things I find a bit frustrating with today's paranormal Romance is the characters willingness to accept what is happening to them without question. As a reader I it is frustrating because I don't know what makes the character tick, therefore often times don't understand their reasons behind their actions or decision making. This isn't the case with Reclaimed, I knew exactly where Natalie was coming from with each decision she made, even with her encounter with Alexander and his seduction of her. He was relentless, she wanted him, she was drawn to him and therefor gave herself with completely even when thing started to get a bit weird. We see the character of Natalie evolve as she accepts that she was involved with Alexander and Malik in a different lifetime.  The characters of Alexander and Malik are completely different as their story emerges towards the end of the book and I am sure their motives will be brought to life in the second and third installment of the Fire & Ice Series.The book is well written and for me was a fairly quick read, but then when I caught up in a story all I want to do is finish the book. This is where Kim Faulks excels as a writer she makes you want more. Her writing places you her characters heads, so you feel what they are feeling, want what they want which gives the characters and story line a very realistic read. With the plot slowly revealing itself I started to understand the interesting love triangle of Alexander the Vampire, Malik the Djin and Natalie. The story leaves you with a bit of a cliff hanger at the end as Natalie searches for the truth.Now this book is classified an Erotic Paranormal Thriller, and let me just say it is erotic! There should be a disclaimer "Cold shower needed after reading" lol This story was one of the most erotic story I have read in a long time. It was so well written the pages were smoking!  This book is for the adventurous since it has a very supernatural kinky feel to it!  My kind of book!!I am looking forward to reading more of Kim Faulks, she has a unique style of writing that is like a breath of fresh air in the genres of Horror and paranormal romance.  As an author she is writing what she wants to write instead of what is expected. Her honest and gritty writing style pulls me in every time and leaves me wanting more. Currently this book is Free on the kindle, and a fairly quick read of 77 pages. I highly recommend any of Kim Faulks books for those who  love a good, thrilling read. With that said I give this book 5 stars.Reviewed for DarkissReads.  [...]
