Caleb O'Hara's talent for seeing the future is at times both a gift and a curse. His visions show a future riddled with danger and sacrifice that will ultimately surround his family and force him to make choices that many may find unconventional.

It was those visions that saved his brothers and wife when the aliens attacked, invading the Earth and destroying nearly everything and everyone in their path. As the aliens return to study the planet and its remaining inhabitants Caleb knows he has to do whatever it takes to ensure the future of mankind, including sharing his wife Janie with his brothers Justin and Mick.

Growing up next door to the O'Hara's, Jane has been surrounded and loved by them her whole life. Marrying Caleb was a girlhood dream come true, but to be honest, she's loved each O'Hara brother at one time or another in her life. So when Caleb begins having visions of her with his brothers she trusts him and embraces a life and a destiny she never expected. All the O'Hara's will be faced with tough decisions and brutal truths that will either make them stronger or destroy them.

HARA'S LEGACY is a fabulous beginning to a series full of promise that left this reader in complete awe of the writing talents of Ms. D'Arc. Crafting a ménage that's more than just sex and an erotic encounter is no easy feat. It's a tremendous undertaking and has to be approached with sensitivity and caring. Making something considered Taboo, and turning it into a fulfilling and emotional extension of love that is a testament to an author's abilities. HARA'S LEGACY is a stunning example of an unconventional love that works and is key to the advancement of its story line.

Never did I doubt Caleb's love for Jane, his struggle to accept as well as embrace sharing his wife with his brothers was real and poignant. The intimacy of the situation was never exploited and while it was clearly combustible it remained full of love and respect. Her characters react to the situation with believable responses and never belittled each other feelings.

It's clear Ms. D'Arc knows what it takes to blend romance and steamy sex with a plotline that is engaging and action packed. HARA'S LEGACY is riddled with danger and a future that at its conclusion is still unknown, but the love built in the O'Hara home leaves the reader with a profound sense of hope.

HARA'S LEGACY is a recommended read and a must have for any fan of Ms. D'Arc's work for certain.
