RA'S CHOSEN-LONGED-FOR HUNGER ISBN:  978-1-41993-007-2 BUY Reviews Denger watched the little mortal walk down the sidewalk from the entrance to an alley two stores down from the bookstore. Once she was far enough ahead, he followed her. The need to know if she was truly his mate had had him standing for hours across the street from where she worked, watching her through the large windows. Every time he’d caught sight of her, the more he hoped she was indeed his. He’d also spent most of the day with the hard-on from hell. He craved her body and her blood. Just the thought of sinking his fangs into her soft flesh while he took her body had caused them to drop more than once. He’d had to hide them from the mortals around him. She turned into a parking lot and he hurried to catch up. Just as he closed in on her, she quickly swung around, lifted her leg and kicked out the flat of her foot, which connected with one of his kneecaps. Caught off guard, Denger’s leg gave out. Before he could recover, she kicked his other knee and gave him a hard shove so he landed flat on his back on the pavement. She wasted no time jumping on his chest, pinning his arms with her legs as she painfully took hold of his ponytail and wrapped it around her fist. Even though he would have no problem getting himself free, Denger let her believe she’d overpowered him. He had to hand it to her, for such a little thing she’d managed to get the drop on him. With a man of his size, that was impressive. He smiled. “I have to say this wasn’t quite what I expected.” She gave his hair another painful yank. “I saw you hanging out across the street from the bookstore. Why are you following me?” “Take it easy,” he said. “I like my hair attached to my head. I just thought we could talk.” “If you wanted to talk, why didn’t you come into the bookstore instead of waiting until now? I saw you standing across the street for my entire shift.” “I didn’t want to bother you while you were working.” That wasn’t exactly the truth. He hadn’t gone inside the store mostly because he wouldn’t have wanted to leave. Given how they didn’t even know each other’s names, he didn’t think she would have appreciated him dogging her heels with a raging hard-on while trying to keep his extended fangs out of sight. “So instead you decided to play the stalker and sneak up behind me in a parking lot?” she asked and gave another yank on his hair. “I can assure you I’m not a stalker. After we bumped into each other I only thought to get to know you better. It wasn’t my intention to sneak up on you. How about we start from the beginning again? I’m Denger. I’d offer you my hand, but you have my arms pinned to my sides.” Not that he was really complaining. With her perched on his chest as she was, it just seemed to arouse him even more, especially since her jean-covered pussy wasn’t all that far from his face. That thought had him fighting to keep his fangs from dropping once again. When she didn’t move from her position or say anything, Denger decided now would be a good time to try a little experiment—to see if he could wipe her memory or not. If he could, he wouldn’t totally wipe her memories of him, just his coming up behind her in the parking lot. If he couldn’t wipe her, it would be another sign she was his mate. Latching onto her gaze with his, he concentrated as he tried to erase the memories. He slammed into a mental brick wall. Just to be sure, Denger tried a second time with the same result. The only indication that she’d felt his attempts was the small furrowing of her brows. She was his. He barely managed to stop himself from flipping her onto her back and taking her mouth in a heated kiss. He had to play it cool. She was still leery of him. He sure as hell didn’t want to scare her off now that he’d found her. Denger tried once again to get her to relax enough to release him. “Not that I don’t mind you sitting on me like this, but the pavement isn’t exactly comfortable. I promise I won’t jump on you once you let me up.” She seemed to think it over for a few seconds, then slowly unwound his hair from around her hand and slid off his chest to stand beside him. Not wanting to spook her, he took his time getting up. So far so good. She didn’t bolt once he stood at his full height. He stuck out his hand. “I’m Denger.” “Nyx,” she said and placed her hand in his. Denger closed his fingers around hers and gave her hand a small shake. He deliberately held it a little longer than was necessary before he released it. “A lovely name for a lovely lady.”

Reviews 4 Ravens:  I found Longed-For Hunger to be a very entertaining and engaging read. This is book three in the Ra’s Chosen series, and even though I have not read books one and two I had no problem following the characters or plot. That being said, the story line is compelling enough that I will be going back to pick up books one and two of Marisa Chenery’s series in the very near future. I highly recommend Longed-For Hunger to those who would enjoy getting wrapped up in a good paranormal series with vampires, Egyptian gods and hot sexy warriors.--Lea, Blackraven's Reviews 4.5 Stars:  Perhaps the best book in this series so far, Ra’s Chosen- Longed-For Hunger blends fun and fantasy with danger and spice. Denger’s attempts to date while maintaining his secret lead to some interesting situations and I love how Nyx reacts when she finds out his secret—it's absolutely authentic. This series just gets better and better, and I can’t wait for the next one.--Stacey, Manic Readers 3.75:  So this is a fun continuation of this fantasy series and should be welcomed by fans of Ms Chenery's previous novels and stories. She has a very nice writing style that is very readable and she crafts her characters with depth and gives them personalities that are unique. It is also a really nice love story and one that includes that sense of what it means to reclaim one's life after the loss of a significant person such as a spouse. I think romance and fantasy fans will like this story.--Judith, Book Binge 4.5 Stars:  This was a sweet and endearing story. (Nyx and Denger's) relationship was a wonderful read. Marisa Chenery does a great job of bringing the reader in to the magical world of Ra’s chosen and keeping you entertained until the end, making this a book that should not be missed.--Gabrielle, Night Owl Reviews 5 Delightful Divas and a Recommended Read:  Longed-For Hunger is a simply scrumptious read! This is a very sensually romantic story. I’ve never before had the pleasure of reading anything from Marisa Chenery, but I will promptly rectify that because I can’t allow myself to miss out on such a great author. There looks to be great promise for more in this series and I can’t wait! Longed-For Hunger is one of those ooh-la-la-gotta-have-it-now books!--Shelly, Dark Divas Reviews 4 Tea Cups:  Ok, so a band of friends as tight as brothers out to save the world from evil has been done before. That being said, this was an extremely good version of the brotherhood, with a twist. The book switches from Denger's point of view to Nyx's sometimes in the same chapter. Marissa Chenery handles this shift skillfully and smoothly without any of the abruptness that frequently plagues changes in point of view. I enjoyed Longed For Hunger. I'm going to read the rest of the books in this series, and you should too.--Dodie, Happily Ever After Reviews 4.5 Siren Stones:  I found it very funny that Denger sought out his mate when so many other stories are about trying to avoid just that; it was unique. Longed-for Hunger is creative and will leave you wanting more. Marisa Chenery did a great job of wrapping up this story and setting the tone for the next storyline. I would recommend this to all paranormal romance fans.--Stacey Krug, Siren Book Reviews 5 Cherries:  This is book three out of Ms. Chenery’s Ra’s Chosen series, and just like the others, she doesn’t disappoint. I have loved getting to know each of her six warriors and their mates thus far. While the ultimate goal of each book is the same—the warrior finding his woman and convincing her that she’s been chosen to be his immortal mate—she’s gone about the plot differently for each book, making each equally enthralling. If you’ve made it through books one and two, don’t stop now. Marisa Chenery has once again penned an enticing tale with her gorgeous warriors and their saucy women. Book three is a tale you won’t regret diving in to.--Verbena, Whipped Cream You Need to Read:  This book is a wonderful continuation of this series. I loved seeing Denger find his mate. Marisa Chenery does a great job of entertaining the reader and keeping this series fresh with each new book. I cannot wait to see which of the warriors will be the next to find love.--Gabrielle, You Gotta Read Reviews
