BOOK REVIEW- Unexpected Eden (Eden Book 1) by Rhenna Morgan

Eden, #1

Paradise, love and power. . .and a prophecy with a price.

Most people believe Eden no longer exists. Lexi Merrill's about to learn they're wrong. A hard-working bartender with a self-sufficient backbone and a wary nature, she knows pickup lines like a second language. So, when Eryx Shantos barges into her world with too-smooth words and a body to back it up, she locks up her libido and vows to keep her distance.

Eryx has other ideas. As king of the Myren race, Eryx is duty-bound to enforce the laws preventing exposure of their existence to humans. Yet The Fates have led him through his dreams to Lexi, a temptation he doesn't want to resist. The question is, is she Myren, or human - which makes her forbidden fruit?

When Eryx's nemesis tags Lexi as his next target, Eryx insists on taking her home where he can keep her safe. Lexi had no idea "home" would mean the one-and-only land of creation. . .or that she'd trigger a prophecy that could doom her newfound race.   AMAZON  3.5 STARS

Although I did like this book, I did so with some reservations.  I thought that the fantasy world, customs and culture was pretty well built.  Second, I did like the main characters and the secondary ones too. Eryx was surrounded with good men and women, a close family. Close family was something that Lexi has lacked and she is very self protective because she has had to be. So you can see how that will present difficulties because of her trust issues.  
The evil guy, Maxis was everything you could want in a villain..pure evil with nothing redeemable about him at all.  There is a woman who you will hate almost as much as the guy.  Didn't seem like there was much to redeem in her either.  There is hope for one other "man" who made some bad choices and sided with Maxis.  
Just to let you know of course there will be violence, some torture, danger and a boatload of sex.  Although the sex scenes were well written I have to admit that I began to skim through a lot of them.  
This is book one so of course the enemy hasn't been totally overcome but there is a H.E.A. for now.
