Synopsis:
PROMETHEUS – One of the keenest Titans to ever walk the earth. Until, that is, his weakness for the human race resulted in his imprisonment.
For thousands of years, Prometheus’s only certainty was his daily torture at Zeus’s hand. Now, unchained by the Eternal Guardians, he spends his days in solitude, trying to forget the past. He’s vowed no allegiance in the war between mortal and immortal, but when a beautiful maiden seeks him out and begs for his help, he’s once again powerless to say no. Soon, Prometheus is drawn into the very conflict he swore to avoid, and, to save the maiden’s life, he must choose sides. But she has a secret of her own, and if Prometheus doesn’t discover what she’s hiding in time, the world won’t simply find itself embroiled in a battle between good and evil, it will fall in total domination to Prometheus’s greatest enemy.
My Review:
Unchained is the newest work from author Elisabeth Naughton as well as novella number 10 in the 2016 1,001 Dark Nights line-up. I always love a new read from Ms. Naughton and was so excited to get Prometheus’ story. It was all that I had hoped for and more! Packed with emotion, heat, and even some suspense and action, I loved it!
Oh, how my heart was breaking for Prometheus from the very first page! The torture and hell he experienced for far too long to count was over but it didn’t diminish the damage done to him. It haunted him and the memories were never too far away from his thoughts. He was truly just existing…until Circe appears and turns his life upside-down. She was mysterious, intriguing, and down right stunning and he knew he had to have her. The heat and attraction between them was delectable and scorched my e-reader. All the while I was a nervous wreck for these two and what was going to happen as the story progressed. I wanted a happy ending for them like I wanted my next breath! Circe had to keep her secret. Prometheus was trying to figure out what it was and how he could help her. Talk about a tense situation. Now, I won’t ruin anything for you but I will say that Ms. Naughton delivered one heck of an ending that had me cheering and swooning at the same time. It was just perfect!
Unchained is another shining example of the talent that is Elisabeth Naughton. I know both new and die-hard fans will adore Promethus’ story as much as I did.

ABOUT ELISABETH NAUGHTON:
Elisabeth Naughton is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. From Elisabeth: “I was never one of those people who knew they wanted to be an author at the age of six. I didn’t have imaginary friends. I didn’t write stories in my journal or entertain my relatives by firelight after Thanksgiving dinner. For the most part, I was just a normal, everyday kid. I liked to read, but I wasn’t exceptional at it. And when my teachers complimented me on my writing abilities, I brushed them off. I did, however, always have a penchant for the unique and absurd. And as my mother told me all throughout my childhood, I should have been an actress—I was a drama queen before my time.Visit Elisabeth Naughton’s website.
