The Last Rising (Curse of the Pheonix, book 1)By Rachel Firasek(Novella)This was a great little novella. The characters were perfect, and I just loved little Brodie, he was so cute in his little personality that was wise beyond his years. My only disappointment was that it wasn't long enough, and I wanted to know more about the characters and their past. I wanted to know more about the phoenix world.Ice is a phoenix and once was an Egyptian goddess whose husband and child were murdered. She is serving penance from what I got, was self blame for what happened to her family. Ice is sent to save the life of a certain individual, and in doing so she dies each time and is incarnated again to do the same job over and over for the past 2,000 years, in a different place, and a different target. Until she is sent to save the life of Turner Alcott, the chosen survivor of a plane crash. After the crash, Ice is sent back to yet another job, this time her path crosses Turner Alcott again.She returns to Turner's life as his son's kindergarten teacher and Turner doesn't remember her, which is the way it's supposed to be. However Turner can't shake the familiarity of Ice. Turner has decided to stop playing the field, and look for someone to settle down with, someone to be a mother to his son, which he's never had. Upon meeting Ms. Nix on the first day of school, for Turner it's pretty much "love at first sight".Ms. Nix can't deny her lusty attraction for the sexy Texan, but all she wants is to keep him at arm's length as to not risk him remembering her from the plane crash. But a sexy romp between the sheets would be just fine with her. As the sexual tension builds, so does her feelings for Turner and his son Brodie. But if she starts to care it will mean complications, the more she pushes away from Turner, the more he pursuits her until her defences start to falter. In the face of tragedy the walls finally crumble
