Soul Familiar Series by Kate Steele

My name is Alex Layton and I'm a soul familiar. What's that, you ask? Well, as you might already know, having a familiar is the icing on the cake for a magic practitioner. A familiar enhances their power and gives them the ability to work spells they might otherwise find beyond their reach. Having a soul familiar as a partner goes way beyond cake, baby. We work with our partner and bond with them heart, mind, body, and soul. It's a true joining imbued with love and magic... moreMy name is Alex Layton and I'm a soul familiar. What's that, you ask?

We work with our partner and bond with them heart, mind, body, and soul. It's a true joining imbued with love and magic. All that aside, I'm about to tell you a little story of how Tyler Montgomery, an untrained wizard, summons me to help him with a small problem. It seems Tyler's had a spell cast on him. It prevents him from getting close to anyone in any way for any reason -- including sex. Fortunately for Tyler, I find myself very eager to help him. Of course it doesn't hurt one bit that he's a sweet and sexy virgin. I've had over two hundred years of magical and bedroom experience. I'm the perfect guy to break this spell and if I help myself to a taste of Tyler, well, where's the harm in that? Hmm? less

Life is unpredictable. That sentiment should be tattooed on my forehead or better yet on my lover’s ass. I’d see it more often. I’m Alex Layton and I’m a soul familiar. Most people know that witches and wizards use familiars to enhance their powers. Soul familiars become not only partners with their chosen magic practitioner but mates for life, and we bond with our partners—heart, body, mind, and soul... moreLife is unpredictable. That sentiment should be tattooed on my forehead or better yet on my lover’s ass. I’d see it more often. I’m Alex Layton and I’m a soul familiar. Most people know that witches and wizards use familiars to enhance their powers. Soul familiars become not only partners with their chosen magic practitioner but mates for life, and we bond with our partners—heart, body, mind, and soul. I’ve found my soul mate, a sweet, gorgeous, recently deflowered virgin, fledging wizard by the name of Tyler Montgomery. To keep him, I face a challenge, or more precisely we face a challenge. Magical combat designed to test our bond and its strength. If we pass we live happily ever after. If we lose… let’s just say I refuse to lose. Everything’s going to be fine. I just know it will. Right? All we have to deal with is the powerful and practiced duo consisting of a fellow soul familiar and his mate who are gunning for us and one accident of nature soul familiar whose erratic powers are making our spells produce daffodils instead of dragons. Like I said… life is unpredictable. less

"Fate is not an eagle, it creeps like a rat." In other words it's a sneaky, hairy little bast... um, son-of-a-gun and you have two options on how to handle it. You let it walk all over you, or you wrestle it into submission. Not that I'm into rat wrestling, but I for one do not intend to have tiny footprints all over whatever part of my life fate chooses to use as a doormat. My name is Alex Layton and enough with the metaphors already... more"Fate is not an eagle, it creeps like a rat."

Not that I'm into rat wrestling, but I for one do not intend to have tiny footprints all over whatever part of my life fate chooses to use as a doormat. My name is Alex Layton and enough with the metaphors already. My lover, wizard-partner and soul mate Tyler Montgomery and I have run out of time. As decreed by the Council of Elders that governs the affairs of soul familiars, Tyler and I must now face a trial of magical combat. If we win, our bond becomes permanent. If we lose, we are separated forever. With options like those, fate had better watch her ass. less
