Fae's Heart

Summer Court #4

by Helen Walton

Would you sacrifice your duty to the kingdom or love?

Sophia
The moment I met the Fae Prince, I knew he was my fated mate. Claiming him was as easy as shifting into my jaguar form. Keeping him by my side is a different matter. Next in line to the throne, his duty is to the Summer Court. Mine is to the jaguar colony. Our sworn duties tear us in different directions. With the threat of poachers hunting the jaguars, there will never be a time for us to be together. I would never leave my people in danger, but how can I live without my heart?

Rian
Escaping the locked Summer Court wasn’t a hard secret to keep until the day I met the Queen of the Jungle. I couldn’t stop myself from marking her as mine, even though we’d barely met. She was my fated mate, after all. I desired to show her the Fae Kingdom. Worship her day and night as she deserved and share my life with her, but we live in two different worlds. How long can I keep her a secret from the Fae King before the divide between us tears us apart?

Fae’s Heart is the fourth standalone romance in the Summer Court fantasy romance series featuring powerful Fae royals who find their fated mates on their quest to save the Fae.

It’s perfect for fans of portal worlds, intrigue, suspense, heartfelt emotions, explosive chemistry, love, and happily ever after.

Were They Both Ready To Commit Fully?

Its Rian’s story into love! He had found his forever mate in Sophia years ago and claimed her but they both lived separate lives. He was a Fae Prince and she was Queen of the Jaguars. Things were changing in the Summer Court was it now time for Rian and Sophia to tell his father the King that they were mated?

Action and adventure with lots going on both within his and her kingdom! They both knew they wanted and needed to be together all the time and not living separate lives, things were changing in their world, betrayal around the corner but could they both rise above all everything to find their own HEA.

A steamy hot read continuing the series of the Fae Summer Court and finding their forever mate, all of the stories can be read as a standalone but I really like that you can refer back to the characters within the family and remember their stories and past history plus the ongoing witty moments between them all is very entertaining!

I’m really enjoying this series and looking forward to the next adventure!.

WOW!!!! Great book and it was a page turner and the suspense was outstanding!!!! I enjoyed reading this book. It is a must read!!! I was hooked when I read the first page. I was at the edge of my seat and more could put it down for a minute. Rain and Sophia love was mean to be. As they should be together and face the world as one. Their kingdom need a leader before things goes up in flames. The insight of how they are going to face this together before it torn them apart as they deal with more trouble in their lives. It was forbidden love and they were never post to be together. A Fae and a Shifter but it was love at first sight.Will their be a happily ever after for Rain and Sophia? Will they have some unexpected to happen? I can't wait until the next book. I highly recommend this book and you will not be disappointed at all.

The prince and princesses in the Summer Court have been stepping into the Veil that separates them from Earth in order to find their mates and to find the solution to the dwindling flow of water from the Spring Baile. It is the the source of the Fae’s immortality and has extraordinary healing powers. Without it they will become mortal. This is the story of Rian and Sophia, a jaguar shifter. Walton tells a magical story of fae and their shifter mates and how they overcome adversity. With this story the King of the Fae is willing to go outside the Summer Court to find the source of the Spring Baile. I believe Pepper the witch may be able to help them. Her story is next.

Rian is a Fee prince and belongs in the Summer Court. Sophia is Queen of the Jungle on Earth, in the human realm, and her duty is to protect her people. Fate has brought them together as mates and distance cannot dispel their longing for each other. But they inhabit different worlds. They cannot forsake their individual duties. Can they ever live together - or forever remain apart?

My favourite of the series so far. Walton has clearly become very comfortable with her world and that made it very easy to slip into it once again. Rian and Sophia were great characters - and so great together. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Fae's Heart, though I will note that my opinion of Fintan continues to drop drastically with each instalment in this series.

I enjoyed how this book felt different than other Fae books I have read. I liked how it started out with an already-established relationship. It made the story feel like it was about a true couple having some ups and downs. Great book and it was a page turner and the suspense was outstanding!!!! I enjoyed reading this book. It is a must read!!! I was hooked when I read the first page. I was at the edge of my seat and more could put it down for a minute. I highly recommend this book and you will not be disappointed at all.

Rian and Sophia have been mated for 10 years but due to their dedication to their people they have never had the opportunity to be together.
This is another hit by Helen.
You see how desperately Rian and Sophia want to be together but cannot see a way to make that happen!
Sophia and Rian are both strong, loving and desperate to do the right thing.
The world expands to pull in the Jaguar people and shows the implications and impact of closing the gate and how it affected Earth.
This book is free flowing and enjoyable.
5 stars!

I enjoyed how this book felt different than other Fae books I have read.

I liked how it started out with an already-established relationship. It made the story feel like it was about a true couple having some ups-&-downs.

The plot seemed to have an equally great focus on the relationship and events of the story. I enjoyed how the author, through their writing, explained how the world had come to be. It made it feel immersive and interesting to read about.

I loved this book and will be reading the other stories in this series.

Rian ventured to open the Veil between the Summer Court and Earth, hoping to find a potential origin for the Spring Baile. However, his search led him to discover Sophia, a queen who could shift into a jaguar, situated in the heart of the Amazon. To his surprise, Rian realized that Sophia was his destined mate. This story has action, betrayal, romance, and steam, ending in a HEA. Very highly recommended.

This novel is described as a stand alone, but it took me a bit of time to 'catch up' to the world. I really liked the concept of jaguar shifters - it's not something I've seen before. I would've like to see more varied and intense conflict between our love interests. A decent story with a happily ever after.

I struggled to get into this story at first because they were from different worlds and could not live together at first, but once they did my irritation at the situation resolved itself, and I was very happy with how their story turned out.

Good series

I stumbled upon this series with the first book Fae's Song and it was so different and the world building and characters captured my imagination. I have now read 4books and each one keeps getting better. The storyline is still strong while exp!oring each couples story. I am really looking forward to the next book! Thanks for the adventure.

This book start with Rian and Sophie finding each other immediately. There's plenty of drama, action, suspense, two kickass characters and lots of hot, steamy sex!

Another winner for Helen Walton in the Fated Mates of Fae Royals series.
I loved Rian and Sophia. Their heat level was off the charts. Not only do we not have an answer about the Fae Spring but now we have new questions about the waterfall on Earth! I’m excited for more.
5 stars!!

[Flor Espinoza Sanchez ♡ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ughhhh I love this book <3 the love that Rian and Sophia have for one another is absolutely amazing! Not once did they ever doubt each other and were able to face their issues head on. I know that these two worship the ground the other walks on and would move heaven and earth to make the other person happy. Rian is quite literally the definition of book husband! The protectiveness and love and devotion he has for Sophia is too die for. 💗💗 I hope everyone can find themselves their own Rian.

Rian and Sophia's story is a complex one. I love that there is a new part of the world added to the Summer Court series. This is the book where the story starts to delve more into the issues they are facing and love where the series is heading. Can't wait to see what is coming.
