Pandora's Gift: An "opposites attract" steamy contemporary paranormal romance

3.75 stars--PANDORA’S GIFT by Jen Katemi is a contemporary, adult, erotic, paranormal romance stand alone novella focusing on veteran Flint McCallum and artist/teacher Pandora Paige. NOTE: PANDORA’S GIFT was originally released in 2011 through another publisher. Told from dual third person perspectives (Pandora and Flint) PANDORA’S GIFT follows thirty-eight year old veteran Flint MCCallum as he is compelled to visit a local bar where he will meet Pandora Paige, a woman who calls to Flint like a moth to a flame. What ensues is the quick building, sexual relationship between Flint and Pandora, and the potential fall-out as their time together comes to a close. Flint McCallum is in pain-from the PTSD and survivor’s guilt from losing his wife, and his fellow soldiers overseas, to his inability to get close to his sixteen year old son, Flint struggles with what was, and what will never be. Meeting Pandora Paige was a beacon in a storm, a woman who fought through his darkness, releasing the light a little at a time. PANDORA’S GIFT is a highly erotic and spicy storyline between a war veteran and a woman who’s gift helps those who need it the most. The fast paced premise is entertaining; the romance is hot and spicy; the characters are broken, reluctant and healing.
