Kathleen Dante’s first published print book is a splendid blend of intrigue, romance, and magic!

Kiera Stevens, CEO of KidTek, hires Depth Security after she suspects espionage within her company.  A doll has been released by another company that utilizes the same technology as the doll just released by KidTek.  Depth Security is involved in several undercover black ops and unfortunately, KidTek is one of the companies that assists with black ops R & D, making this an issue of national security.

John Atlantis agrees to assist his former partner and owner of Depth Security, Dillon.  Lantis specializes in security magic and he and Kiera pose as a couple while they set a trap for the thief.  Lantis develops a firewall spell with another spell imbedded in it to entrap the thief but his energy becomes entangled with Kiera’s in the process.  The couple gets hot and heavy while their trap begins to work and soon ensnares not only the actual thief, but the other company behind the espionage as well.  Will Lantis and Kiera be able to trust one another enough to capture the thieves?

Kathleen Dante has written a steamy, suspenseful story that grabs the reader from the very introduction of the story!  She creatively uses magic in her story without relying on it too heavily and thus creates an aura of believability.  The attraction between Lantis and Kiera is simply sizzling and Ms. Dante cleverly intertwines the romance, magic, and investigation all together so that each part of the story is very relevant to the other pieces. 

Lantis and Kiera are both very strong characters, neither used to bending or giving in to another person.  Both are used to their independence and so it is very interesting to watch how they handle being entangled, particularly since each loses a sense of control to the other.  The sex scenes are quite spicy at times, and Ms. Dante certainly has a very fertile imagination but readers will not be offended by any of the scenes, particularly since Ms. Dane puts such an emotional impact into the relationship between Lantis and Kiera.

ENTANGLED is a very welcome addition to the paranormal books out there and should appeal to a variety of readers.  Kathleen Dante demonstrates a real gift for knowing her characters and helping the reader get to know them as well.  From start to finish, ENTANGLED is an enthralling story that will leave readers begging for Dillon’s story as well!  Well done, Ms. Dante!
