*I received an ARC and leaving an honest review.*
Devoted Desires is book 6 in the Stolen Legacy series. It's the final book in the series...and while it was good i was left with more questions than answers.
Devoted Desires starts immediately after book 5, when the Fae Taneisha sends Sera through the portal, seemingly to her coffee shop. Considering we're working with Taenisha, that's of course not where Sera actually goes. Taneisha realized she needed help with ONE more quest, that only Sera can do. So Sera finds herself back in Faery to do one more SMALL quest and then she can get home to her mates...right? Of course not! Not when Taneisha's involved! Sera's seemingly simple, straight and narrow errand is derailed almost immediately when she runs into the Queen of the Summer Court and is asked (ordered) to have an audience with her and explain why she's in faery. Of course things continue to go downhill from there. The Supernova of hotness as Sera affectionately calls her mates, have no idea that Sera's not home...at first. When they realize she's missing they immediately run into action trying to find her. But the guys may be too late when they realize someone else is looking for her, and they may have found the guys first. As usual, faery tricks, the group realizing they're better together than apart, and Sera giving in and trusting her magic, bring everyone back together again leaves us happier than we started.
As I said and felt in the last book, something was off with this book. Books 1-4 flowed fine, I couldn't really tell there were 2 different authors, pacing, and the action to spice ratio was good. In book 5 I first felt the disconnect, I can't quite put my finger on it but I could tell it didn't flow the way it used to. The spice didn't happen until the last two chapters, which part of it is understandable because the entire book was mostly Sera being stuck in Faery and everyone trying to save/find her, but that could've also been cut down a couple of chapters. The last two chapters of the book tried to wrap up the whole series but also tried to very quickly inform us of their new lives. I wished there would've been an epilogue included or another chapter or two to make it not feel so rushed at the end.
In general I genuinely enjoyed the series. These books were intriguing and fast reads which is what had me returning time after time. The Stolen Legacy series is a fun, fated mates, why choose, adventure, paranormal romance series that features a strong FMC who learns that in order to become the powerful person she's meant to be she has to let others in and learn to trust them so she can trust herself.
