Coco du Ciel

Coco du ciel another new story from Elise is a stand alone although it took a different direction from her other stories, it still manages to incorporate the mystic, romance and adventure that she always takes us on in all her books. The last thing Rhys thought he did do when he agreed to house sit for his uncle and care for his plants was to find a nake beautiful girl in the Green House with no memory as to who she is or how she got there. If you want to know more on how they were able to discover who she is or how she came to appear among the fruits, then pick up a copy and you'll be glad you did as Ms Noble never disappoints.

According to Elise, this story was conceived for a contest where one had to include a mutant plant in the storyline. Well – challenge accepted and then some! How Elise’s imagination comes up with the stories is beyond me, but I am definitely not complaining. This is a stand-alone story, unattached to the other series, except for a small reference to a character in another book. Rhys and Coco should never have met, but those make the best romances, don’t they? One of the aspects of this story I really enjoyed was how the small worlds of Rhys and Coco as individuals expanded to be a world-wide adventure when they were together. Their influence also changed the lives of several other people. And, as always, I loved the part where the bad guy gets what’s coming. This time in a rather creative fashion…

Rhys is introvert, shy, slightly awkward but so kind and thoughtful. Lovely to have a hero who doesn't fit the normal cliché. Coco is bewildered, lost and strong, a brilliant character. Elise doesn't just write Characters well, the plot and various settings sing. The paranormal is just a small part of the story but makes it so interesting. Loved it.
