SAMHAIN PUBLISHING e-Book and Print available now
MAGIC BITES…and its name is Myla.
Created at Prince Taric’s birth, Myla is a spell, an enchantment designed to appear and protect him when he needs it most. She has always been content to do her duty…until one night of forbidden passion leaves her longing to experience life—and love—as a mortal woman. Yet the risk is too great. Even if her blood runs as red as his, she can never give him the one thing he needs: a child.
Taric’s blessing—and his curse—is knowing the kingdom’s future depends on his producing an heir to continue the bloodline. His bond with Myla has always been that of protector and protected. When it suddenly becomes something much more, he unwittingly sentences his people to certain death.
An old enemy is plotting to destroy all he holds dear: his lands, his people, his father, and his lover. And this time, even if they fight tooth and blade, their shared magic may not be enough to save them…

Myla was created for only one reason, to protect Prince Taric. She loves and protects him but is only a spell and cannot give him the heirs necessary to a crown prince.
Prince Taric is fortunate to have both a devoted supernatural guardian and a loyal best friend. The court is full of intrigue and danger, and he needs all the help that he can get..
Prince Taric has been given a gift at the cost of his mother’s life. Myla is a guardian whose only purpose is to protect him. She feels much more than protective towards him, and he feels the same, but the kingdom’s future is dependent on his producing an heir. Myla cannot do that, and Taric cannot give her up. There are evil forces that want to take over and destroy all Taric’s values, and somehow he has to save them all.
This is a very interesting and entertaining tale. I loved the idea of an immortal guardian who protects a prince from every danger. The opening scene is particularly illustrative of that and very exciting to boot. The plot is well written and full of action and hot love scenes. Aside from the two main characters, there is a great cast of secondary characters led by Bryton, Taric’s captain and best friend. Readers will love this action-packed fantasy adventure.
JOYFULLY REVIEWED calls MYLA BY MOONLIGHT a keeper!
Reviewer: Jo
When your true love isn’t real, can it be forever? Myla by Moonlight begins with life, death and magic. Interestingly enough, it ends the same way. Prince Taric could have had a life of pure indulgence, but he learned to fight along side his men. Myla became a part of Taric’s life after answering the magical call of his mother. Taric’s entire life has had danger just around the corner so I wasn’t surprised that it was because of danger that Myla and Taric discovered their passion. Emotions run high from every corner, which made the story that much more interesting to me.
Right up until the end, I just didn’t see how Myla and Taric could find a way for their love to have a chance. However, last minute twists and turns not only brought them together forever but also showed me that a true love will last eternally. Myla by Moonlight takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride that has many happy endings. A story that I can firmly say you will want in your fantasy/paranormal library to be re-read many times.

Review by: Lavender
Myla by Moonlight is one of the best books I’ve read in a quite some time. The author has brilliant talent. Not only was I drawn in completely by this magical story as it unfolded, but I was impressed with how beautifully it was composed. This author could teach a class on showing vs. telling with her flawlessy written sensual details.
A queen casts a spell shortly after she gives birth, summoning a protector for her newborn son. Myla will stay with the prince and look out for him, appearing whenever he is in danger. This protector can appear as a gorgeous woman or a sleek jaguar, and does both in fascinating episodes as the story develops.
Taric, the prince, is to die for, and when he falls in love with Myla, you are likely to cheer for him to get a woman he truly deserves. The two share some very passionate, well-described love scenes, and the beauty of their love will melt your heart.
They have enemies, and danger threatens Taric’s life and his kingdom, but that’s not the only thing. Taric must have an heir, or his kingdom will fall to a distant relative, his enemy who happens to be a butcher. But Myla can’t have children, she being a magic spell and all, and as Taric’s captain so humorously puts it to his prince, unless he can knock up a cloud, the kingdom is doomed. The funny moments in this book were something.
The pacing is excellent, and I found my heart aching for these two, then cheering, and back again. I have never read this author’s work before and am so glad I chanced upon it. I have nothing negative to say about this book and will eagerly look for more works penned by Inez Kelley.

Myla has served faithfully as Prince Taric’s guardian since the day of his birth, when his dying mother summoned her to reside inside the newborn heir to the throne.
Taric viewed Myla as his enchanted protector and a part of him, taking her for granted until she suffers a mortal wound defending him from an assassin. When he finally notices that Myla is a beautiful woman, who is not as indestructible as he once believed, his fear for her awakens a protective instinct within him that quickly turns to desire and love. But Myla is not human, and Taric is enchanted to only give his heart once. Once he bonds with a woman, he will not be able to sire a child off another. Unless Taric can find a way to make Myla human enough to bear his child, he will lose everything to his worst enemy.
Myla by Moonlight is an erotic fantasy filled with magic, enchantment, fierce loyalty and devotion entwined with very human fears and desires. I really enjoyed my journey into Inez Kelley’s world and the way she slowly accustoms Myla to her human form and emotions. Taric’s feelings for Myla are genuinely male, even when he gets exasperated with her. I was delighted by their banter and games of one-upmanship. And loved the way Myla got really angry with Taric for his high-handedness and made him suffer for it, literally.
Ms. Kelley’s secondary characters are a delight as well. Bryton, Taric’s captain and best friend is a perfect counterpart to Taric, respecting Taric as his prince but giving him just enough sass as his best friend to keep the lordly prince humble.
I highly recommend Myla by Moonlight for readers who enjoy sensuous tales loaded with magic and suspense that will keep you turning pages.
Fantasy Book Review (Non-romance site) gives MYLA BY MOONLIGHT 7 stars! 
Ms Kelley does a nice job with her characters. Taric comes across as just the sort of man you’d want for your future king, Myla, as she becomes used to being in this world, is sweetly innocent but playful, and the supporting characters are just as likeable. I particularly like Bryton, Taric’s more real guard whose irreverence really lightened the tone. While the world or plot aren’t as complex as I usually like, and the romance is more prominent than I prefer, for the book it is – and it doesn’t try to be anything other than this, aimed squarely at romance readers who love fantasy - it’s all engagingly done in a light way, making this a fun (and quick) read. Perfect for whiling away an afternoon on the beach while you make your husband occupy the kids and have some well deserved ‘me’ time. Your husband may thank Ms Kelley for the sex scenes later…
SMEXYBOOKS gives MYLA BY MOONLIGHT 3.5 stars of 5
Myla by Moonlight is the first I have ever read by Inez Kelley and I was pleasantly surprised. Taric is definitely an alpha male that likes his women, but when he finally sees Myla for what she is, his lust turns fiercely towards her. Their romance is very hot and Inez Kelly devotes many pages to it. I love that it is not rushed, and that she really draws out each scene giving us plenty of detail to their sexual escapades.

Reviewer: Leontine
I couldn’t and wouldn’t deny the pull of Inez Kelley’s, at moments, lyrical voice; her world isn’t complex and her cast of characters small but so very likable. Yet what shined through were the times she could describe sceneries or emotions vibrating between people which made me completely surrender to moment. The struggles of an impossible love raises the stakes considerable with all the dangers and feelings that go with it. This is what matters most to me, whether or not I can feel the love blooming between two people, and Taric, together with Myla, gave me their sweet passion, their pain and tears but also their strength….
I was there in that tower with the key characters turning the pages in bated breath how it would all solve and Inez Kelley held nothing back in the end. Gradually the author pulled me in to her world, had her characters tug at my heart strings and it emanated undiluted love in the end. An ending where everything culminates and I had to reach for the tissues as I lived and breathed every moment with them.
With MYLA BY MOONLIGHT the love shined in all its facets, that of a parent for his child, the love between two friends and at the center of it all the encompassing love of two heartmates, the love of Taric and Myla. I inhaled it all as the voracious romance reader that I am!
