Fire, Fury, Faith is the first book I read by N.D. Jones. I was intrigued by the idea of a paranormal romance written with black characters.
We meet Issa and Serma, they are members of warring African tribes. Serma is the daughter of the chief and Issa is a warrior destined to be chief of his tribe. The two love each other fiercely but their fathers oppose them being together. The two hatch a plan but then there are a series of life-changing events.
I enjoyed how the author did not start the characters off as slaves. Thank you! I get that this was a novella so there was not a ton of backstory. We received most of the backstory in flashbacks. I was intrigued once the two lovers were fast-forwarded into the present day. Issa was a warrior and Guardian Angel and Serma was a Healer. The magnificent description of their physical and mythical characteristics had me envisioning their beauty.
The sex scenes between the two were HOT!!!! What I didn't enjoy was some of the long drawn out inner dialogue and endless descriptions of some moments in the story. I definitely would be willing to read more from this author.
