"I do love a good murder mystery, when added to that is mythological creatures and a love story what is there not to like. Montana Mustangs is a fantasy romance with suspense weaved in, Aura's hundreds of years of existence seem to vane in comparison to finally opening up and finding love with a mortal man."

"A Nymph. A woman with the ability to seduce at will, shift to protect, but cursed with the fate to have the man she falls in love with die a tragic death. As one of the ill-fated nymphs, Aura Montgarten has spent her lifetime drifting from one place to another hiding from love. Until she meets Dane.
When a body washes up on the shore of a rural Montana lake, police officer Dane Burke is faced with the task of finding the killer—even if it means he will be forced to put his life and heart at risk by working with a drifter. As the truth of Aura’s Mustang-shifting Nymph ways are revealed, Dane learns exactly the amount of danger he and Aura are in, but can’t force himself to leave a case unsolved when the truth is right outside of his grasp.
When the killer decides he needs to take another victim—Dane—Aura must choose between their forbidden love and her immortal life… Can there be life without love, or is death her only choice?" ~ From Goodreads
I do love a good murder mystery, when added to that is mythological creatures and a love story what is there not to like. Montana Mustangs is a fantasy romance with suspense weaved in, Aura's hundreds of years of existence seem to vane in comparison to finally opening up and finding love with a mortal man.
There were plenty of secrets and that created nice chemistry between Aura and Dane, but the mystery of the washed a shore body had it's own major chuck in the book, which I liked but had not expected. The same thing with The Nymph's Labyrinth. I was expecting more romance, and got plenty of suspense added to it, which I did like a lot.
I liked Aura, she wasn't what you might think a nymph would be, she was very likable and pretty single minded about finding her sister Natalie, I loved her ability to talk to wildlife horses especially and pretty much though she was adorable, but with a definite strong streak. Dane was well written as well, he was suspicious of Aura and her meddling in his business, but she grew to be a distraction he wasn't expecting and that just added to the chemistry between these two.
Want a romantic suspense with mythology and murder mystery sprinkled in it? Then pick up Montana Mustangs.

Can she have the man she loves or will the pressure and secrets of her past keep her from her heart’s desire?" ~ From Goodreads
First of all I love archaeology, I love mythology and I love Greece! Needless to say I quite fell into love with The Nymph's Labyrinth! I expected the story to be just about romance but there was a nice touch of suspense with the Sisterhood protecting their secrets and beau hunting to find the Labyrinth of the Minotaur, there was so much to like!
I loved Ariadne, she had the sweet juxtapose character she was quite obedient with her Sisterhood but showed great character and power when she was with Beau. See, weren't they just meant to be! ;) I loved her emotional struggle to make a decision wither to be with Beau and his son or stay with the Sisterhood. I also quite enjoyed Beau, even though I'm not a fan of the get-an-insta-kid storyline, all his scenes with either mythology or Ariadne I loved! Kaden was fun too, showed some bluster but ended up being a good kid, he was 18 but read quite much younger.
If you love Mythology and like to get new modern twist on them then you'll like The Nymph's Labyrinth, there is romance but nothing too hot, more sweet with few hot spots. And great job on the cover, I was immediately drawn in!
