Goodreads Blurb:
Man by day, Centaur
by night, Rhycious is a remedy maker who needs his own healing.
He's the royal physician, famous for his cures. War and posttraumatic stress disorder has broken his spirit, preventing him from finding true happiness. Then a direct order from the queen to investigate an uprising forces him out of his secluded cabin at the edge of the forest.
Patience is an optimistic, good-natured Wood Nymph who works as a mediator to ensure harmony within the Nymph sector.
Environmental pollution in the aquifer stream that feeds the taproot tree of her heart is slowly killing her. Resigned to the fact she will not live long, she sets out to discover the mysterious disappearance of her sister. Experience has taught her to deny herself the love of a male, but the gruff Centaur is different. He doesn't push his expectations on her, only his healing nature.
When Rhycious loses his grip on reality, he believes his inability to control his disorder will drive Patience away. Nevertheless, desire flares, and Patience draws him close. Kidnapping and betrayal turn their mythic joint venture into a deadly bout.
Will their love endure when survival hinges on trusting each other?

My Review:
I
instantly feel in love with the characters and story line of this book, Rhy
especially (hot, hot and oh so very HOT!) I also loved the concept it carried, the different
races intermingling for the first time known in history and some falling in
love without a second thought of the background, the evil prejudice that has
clouded many’s vision for far too long. I found myself laughing, crying and
holding my breath in suspense many times over throughout reading. There’s a ton
of humor, action, adventure, super sexy sex and fun to be had in this
wonderfully vivid work of Sheri Fredricks'. Any paranormal lover that wants to
enjoy something completely original will get great joy reading Remedy Maker :)
Rhy
is a man during the day and a Centaur through the night. He’s also a remedy
maker, a very well known and well respected one, that’s super hot (oh, did I
mention that already?) and has a super deep problem within himself that even
his remedies cannot cure. He lives alone and loves his solidarity. He enjoys
helping people, but does not want them to invade his personal space. PTSD has
made him this way, it’s how he best lives with it. But that all changes when
his dear friend Samuel brings an injured Wood Nymph to his humble abode; she
invades much more than his living space and he’s not quite sure how to deal
with it.
Patience
is one kind, caring, beautiful and very positive thinking Wood Nymph whose way
of talking had me laughing out loud multiple times. But her use of words allows
us to see how and why she’s perfect for the job she does which is a mediator
for the Nymph’s and she’s very good at it! Injured while searching for her
missing sister, she awakens and finds herself in a strange place feeling a bit
worse for wear. Meeting the well known remedy maker brings forth feelings she’s
never before experienced and is unsure how to deal with them. But our forever
loyal and reliable fate runs its course and fixes that issue with incredible
smoothness ;)
I
loved experiencing the growth of both the main characters, growth of love,
strength and character. Together they alone accomplished a very difficult task
that none other was able to accomplish for many years and they also pulled the wool from
the eyes of many of those who had a very strong prejudice and/or just a misguided
mind. Patience and Rhy is one of my favorite paranormal couple of this year is so far. They are two puzzle pieces that fit
perfectly together and each gives the other balance, contentment and happiness
they have never known. Now I have one question for the author... When is the next one coming out?
