“He’s a storm, swirling all around me, threatening to destroy me from the inside out. And for once, I was to be obliterated.”

This romantic suspense was an entrawling adventure of heartbreak and intrigue that had me turning each page anticipating what was coming next.

Summary:
Cleo, a small town resident of the great Smoky Mountains suffered terrible heartbreak and tragedy on her wedding day as a young bride of eighteen. No stranger to heartbreak, Cleo had already already lost both parents and sister, orphaning her at a young age.

Fleeing and making a new life for herself in Arizona, years after the accident, Cleo receives devastating news that the woman who raised her has been hospitalized and it may not have been an accident. Returning home, Cleo learns of a shadow that has followed her every moment while also being forced to face old relationships and old secrets.

Review:
This story had me guessing, learning I was wrong and guessing again. At each page, I was gripped with the intense story and romance while enjoying the beautiful writing of this author.

As the plot unfolded, I was invested to learn the outcome and dive into the romance that frightens Cleo, but also I didn't want the story to end!

Absolutely recommend this book to everyone and definitely suggest you purchase a copy. I plan to enjoy this story again and again.

Summary:
"Fate of Fire and Wind" is set in a realm where Earth Dryads, Skye Elves, Water & Fire Fae "bend" the elements of their nations. One hundred years after a bloody battle was lost, the Fire Fae of Ember rules the lands in tyranny. After a fateful encounter, the "Peacebringer" is named who is the single force capable of yielding all four elements and destined to bring peace to the lands.

On the run since the end of the war, Emelyn, a Water Fae, has been hiding her best friend, Ace, the last of the Skye Elves, hunted out of the belief the next "Peacebringer" would hail from the Skye Elves. Eme and Ace find themselves at the heart of the rebellion and are hunted by the scarred Prince of the Fire Fae.

Review:
I received this book as an ARC, and overall the story was rushed and contained several plot elements that did not add value to the story. Some of the romance scenes were redundant and the book should include a trigger warning about an attempted assault of the female main character by a group of fire fae. The parallels between the plot of this book and the "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and "The Legend of Korra" are extensive and I didn't enjoy the many similarities.

4 appendages and one has a sucker on it?
Okay

This book has very trigger themes and details on page so heed the warnings.

It was captivating, sexy, very gory. I’ll have another Lilith!

I loved this book. It was hard to read a lot of my trauma on a page in such a real story and at such a similar age. Push through it if you can.... its beautiful to embrace.

This was a great debut and I can’t wait for book 2.

Freya is a spitfire from chapter 1 and never loses her spunk through the end. The banter, the twists, the turns had me turning the pages all day until I got to the end.

If you love dragons, magic, battles and betrayal then pick up this book!
