The Nymph Series #3
by Danica Winters
Blurb:
A curse that forbids her to love…A child that he must keep secret…An attack on the culture she holds dear…And a battle that could get them killed…
Single dad and professional poker player, Chance Landon, hates the world after his ex-wife is found dead in a cheap apartment in rural Idaho. On a lone-wolf crusade to find the killer, he instead learns that he is the father of a strange little girl who carries secrets that only a woman like his ex-wife can answer.
When his ex-wife's killer learns about his daughter's abilities and decides to come after the young girl, Chance enlists the help of the beautiful and deadly swan-shifting nymph, Harper Cygnini, who helps to teach him the truth of his daughter's condition. Chance soon realizes that he alone can't save his daughter from the sadistic killer and he finds himself in a battle between his head and his heart. Will Chance gamble on a future that involves falling in love-which may well cost him his life-or is that one bet his is unwilling to take?
My Review:
I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
Harper is a Nymph shifter who shifts into a beautiful swan. Not all Nymphs shift into swans some shift into different breeds of horses, snakes and different animals. Not all Nymphs are good but most are. A Nymph can't fall in love or the person they love will die. Nymph's cannot get pregnant either or have not in a long, long time. Nymphs have a curse that keeps them from getting pregnant. Nymphs are not supposed to be able to lead a very happy life or that is how it seems with the curse that was placed on their heads.
Harper runs into another Nymph at her sister's funeral. Nymphs are not supposed to die but her sister Jenna did and Harper has no idea what happen but she is determined to find out who killed her sister. While at the funeral she talks to this other Nymph who knew her sister. This woman Carey says that Jenna was going to help her find a man which just happens to be her ex-husband. You wonder what kind of person this woman is to come to someone's funeral and ask the descendant's sister of all people if she will help her locate this man. Who is this woman? Why does she want to find this man? Why does she think that just because Harper is Jenna's sister that it is her place to find this man?
Well for some reason that she can't identify Harper feels led to help this woman so she goes looking for this man. When she finds him he tells her that the woman is his ex-wife. Harper takes Chance to this woman, Carey. Chance finds out that seventeen years ago after their divorce and their last fling together Carey had gotten pregnant with his child. Now he has a child to take care of. Chance has a lot to figure out now that he has a child to take care of. He has a big decision to make. Chance is a professional gambler and travels around a lot. So how is he going to take care of a child? Will he take her with him? Will he give up his carefree life? Can he give up the only thing that has always made him come to life, put a shine in his eyes? Or has he found someone or two some ones that is going to change his life forever?
Harper falls in love with Chance and his child. But she has her own life and job. How can she give up her job and her life for another person? She has learned to live with the Nymph's curse by always walking away before anyone fell in love or gets hurt. But this time with Chance may be different, this time she may not be able to just walk away. It may not be as easy as she thinks. She doesn't want to hurt Chance or his child but she doesn't see any way around it if she stays and allows herself to love him then he may die with the curse that was placed on her kind years and years ago. But how can she just walk away without fighting for her life. If she walks away from Chance then she is leaving her heart behind with him and to her that would be like giving up her life because now he is her life and she just may have to fight for what she believes in or wants. What will Harper do? Will she stay or will she leave? Can she just throw away the life she has created for herself? Can she walk away from love or the love of her life?

Winter Swans is the third book in The Nymph's Series and it is just as good if not better than the first two. I can't say which one is my favorite as I loved all three of them. I loved all of the characters in each of the three books and cannot decide which ones I loved the best. I can't wait and hope that Danica has plans for more of The Nymph's series and more characters waiting for us to get to know and love. I can't wait to see what other shifters are waiting for us.
