Sorceress of Faith by Robin D. Owens

Sorceress of Faith by Robin D. Owens is the second in the Summoning Series.

WITH THE SOUNDING OF THE CHIMES, AN EXOTIQUE IS CALLED...

With the world of Lladrana threatened by encroaching evil, the Sorcerers must do the unthinkable—Summon an outsider to stop the insidious Darkness slowly taking control of their land, and poisoning the Sorcerers themselves.

Yet instead of a powerful warrior, grad student Marian Harasta arrives through the portal, finding herself in the center of a struggle between Sorcerers who wnat to use her incredible, untapped Powers to augment their own. As she fights to maintain her independence—including facing her first magical duel—she must decide whom to trust....

Still, the Darkness will not be ignored, and a desperate Marian must offer the Sorcerers aid in order to keep alive the chance to return home. because divided all will surely fail....


I've always liked Robin D. Owens' books and this is no exception. It has a good bit of romance mingled in with a nice fantasy. I'd probably recommend reading the first book first, but it actually probably stands alone pretty well.
I liked Marian and it's was interesting to see how she adapted to her new home. And Tuck, her hamster that came along for the ride, is too cute! Not that he takes over the story, but he's quite cute. I'm still deciding whether I like Jaquar, but I'm leaning towards liking him. This story is more about Marian and her growth.

If you liked Guardian of Honor, I'm sure you'll like this one. They're both good fantasy romance.

I have been eying this set for some times, completely undecided whether I even want to dip my toe into it or not. I liked the universe presented in the related short story that was posted on eHarlequin, but wasn't sure I could handle an entire book that was more fantasy than romance, which was what it appeared to be in the promos/excerpts I've read. So, what is the real balance in the books?

I'd say there's a good bit of romance in it. The romance is key in keeping Marian in Lladrana. Same with the first book.

You can always wait for the MM version, if you aren't sure.
