Reviews of Rainbow's Desire

"Rainbow's Desire is a tale of fantasy that captured my interest and held it. Leanne Shawler has brought leprechauns to life as tall sexy and a passionate race. The love between human and fae is difficult at best, impossible at worst but Ms. Shawler makes it work very well. This is an enjoyable short story and I look forward to seeing more. " -- Nikita, Enchanted in Romance

"Rainbow's Desire is all about freedom ‚ Freedom sexually, freedom to lead your own life and the freedom to love the one who is meant for you. This is a hot little tale that seduces and tantalizes a reader. ÝDeclan and Kate are characters who transfix a reader and burn up the pages. ÝMagic, paranormal and the beauty of Ireland come to life with this hot erotic tale that has a reader wanting her very own Leprechaun..." -- Tracey West, Road to Romance, a Recommended Read!

As part of a more detailed review, Tracey West from Road to Romance also said: "Kate and Declan heat up the pages, stir the imagination of the reader and keep us entertained throughout Rainbow's Desire by Leanne Shawler. With a great blend of the paranormal and erotic sensuality, this story seduces the reader. Declan is enchanting as a leprechaun with a mission who touches one's heart. ÝThe quick and fun dialogue between the characters keeps up the fast-pace of this great adventure. Leanne Shawler blends magic, paranormal and the beauty of Ireland, which comes to life in this hot erotic tale, which leaves a reader wanting her very own Leprechaun."

Four Stars! "Rainbow's Desire proved to be a very enjoyable surprise. This is my first romantica featuring a leprechaun as the lead hero, and Declan proved to be a very sexy one at that. This book had me both smiling, and sweating, over the antics of Kate and Declanäthese two simply burned up the pages. Declan is way too sure of himself and his abilities with the ladies, and he doesn't disappoint Kate at all.
"The love develops realistically between these two main characters, and flows fluidly in this short, but thoroughly pleasurable story. There is a surprising and unexpected twist in this tale that is sure to please many readers. Having a brief glimpse into Declan's world only made me want to learn more about this fascinating and magical land; especially about his brother Caolan." --Aggie Tsirikas, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

"Rainbow's Desire is a delightful, sensual tale that blends eroticism with a touch of the paranormal, in a magical story set in historical Ireland. Do not miss this short story with sizzle. The hero is one sexy Leprechaun that could easily give Legolas a run for his money!" -- Lizzy Bentway

Four Angels! "This is a wonderfully humorous story. Ms. Shawler has created truly memorable characters. The banter between Kate and Declan is terrific; you are never quite sure who is in control. Their sexual chemistry is off the charts and seems to burn hotter each time they are together. I really enjoyed that Kate was very forward thinking and was looking for a way to take care of herself." -- Tewanda, Fallen Angel Reviews

"This wonderful tale is a quick, and very entertaining read... I thoroughly enjoyed this one, and I look forward to more of Ms. Shawler's work in the future." -- Vicki McElfresh, EbookReader Reviews

Four Cups! "Ms. Shawler touched perfectly upon the one desire almost everyone has to be free. Both Kate and Declan desired to be free of the lives they led. Luckily, with each other they become free. It reminds us that we all must take chances to gain said freedom. The scenes between Kate and Declan were incredibly steamy. This is a great little story for an afternoon read, with the unintentional lessons lingering long after you have finished reading." -- Deshanna Heavelow, Reviewer for Karen Find Out About New Books, Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance

An Excerpt from Rainbow's Desire

"Enough, lass. Let me go."

"Not until you let me go." She stood her ground, or rather knelt on it. She expected him to pull free without effort.

His gaze darted down to their joined hands. "I can't do that."

"Then I won't let you go." It appalled her that she spoke to this handsome, broad-shouldered man like a child, but anyone who believed he was a leprechaun had to be treated with simple, gentle discipline.

She guessed the stalemate would last a few moments more and then he would release her. She would let him have his gold. Perhaps he could give her a few pieces to buy her freedom from drudgery.

He held fast.

Kate shifted, settling into a more comfortable position, a silent indication that she planned to outwait him. She might as well; she couldn't hear the children calling for her any more, so that meant they had gone off to cause other mischief. If she were lucky, they may have gone to fetch help, and then someone could take this poor fellow to an asylum.

She sighed. What a waste. He was a gorgeous figure of a man: lithe and strong, his muscles bunching with tension beneath his tight shirt and moss-green leggings. He had eschewed modern dress for some reason. Bare of linen, his throat seemed oddly vulnerable. He crouched, his groin invisible in shadow.

"Lass." Her captor quirked an eyebrow upwards. "If ye like what ye see, mayhap we may seal a bargain."

The sudden heat on her cheeks warned her that they had gone the color of bricks. "I am not sure I like the sound of a bargain."

His unbearably green eyes danced. "'Tis simple, lass. Take yer pick: me pot of gold, or one eve of indescribable pleasure from me."

"What do you mean by pleasure?" She swallowed, feeling her belly tighten with the idea.
