I'm really sad this series is over but it was a perfect end to a fantastic series. Roam and West are one of my top favourites couples.

Kimberly gave me the opportunity to read the ARC copy of this book and I was so delighted and honoured to do so.
I did not want to see the end of this series so I decided to read the book ssslllllooooooowwwwwllllly. WHAT A JOKE! before I even finished the first chapter I had locked the door to my room and only allowed my husband entry to go to sleep. Eleven hours later, at 5am I had finished the book and had already decided to re-read it again, (after sleeping of course).
In this book you see a new perspective introduced and it really surprised me to see how different my view point of this character had become by the end of the book, I think I almost took a complete 180 turn in my opinion of them, (almost).
I found myself loving the characters more but also wanting to slap them upside their heads for some of the stupid things they did, and yet, through it all, it is their love and devotion to each other as partners and family that holds strong.
I found the theme of fierce devotion apparent more so in this the final book than I did in the previous five.
Stedronsky has a unique writing style that I have not come across before. The timelines and world jumping in the book are handled with such ease that the reader is not left wondering or lost in the plot of the book. The dialogue of each character is so distinct that you know who is speaking without having to be told at the beginning of their section. Eva and her mouth, Will and his manner, Rush with his rants, Roam with her cleverly placed words and thoughts and West with his fierceness.
I am sad that this series has come to an end, but honestly! what a way to go! beautifully concluded, the reader is not left wanting. I thought Kimberly did a great job tying all the loose ends together.
I am and will always be, a Die hard Roam fan. Don't be surprised if I have another baby and I name her Roam, if its a boy? there are at least 4 names to choose from, West being my favourite so far hehehe (dont tell my hubby).

I truly enjoyed 'Reign' and wished it could have been longer (and wished it weren't the last book of the series). I was lucky enough to get an arc of this book and read it as soon as I opened it. The story is told from the main characters point of view - in real time- and everything blends and meshes together so well. There were questions that I had wondered about during the previous books and they were answered in Reign. Before reading this, I'd try and imagine what would become of everyone and how the loose ends would be tied up. Would Eva succeed? Would Roam and West be sent to the correct place in time? Could they really find Troy and haul him back to Meredith? Would Violet be saved? So many questions. Kimberly Stedronksy did an incredible job of storytelling and letting us care about these characters (and yes, maybe even a villain). She has weaved in and out of the characters lives- and past lives- and it makes for a perfect ending to one of my favorite series, hands down.

I'm not sure about all of the other women out there, but I'm pretty sure I'm dead in love with all of the men in these books. This conclusion gave such a fantastic view into the main characters minds as things happen. And even for the "villian" in the book, you see more from his point of view, and I found myself almost completely forgiving him of all he had done before! If you are waiting to read this, be sure to read all of the other books of the series, beginning with Roam. Kimberly weaves such a tale of love, passion, dedication and more with her characters. It's impossible to put down, heck I was up at 4 AM just trying to finish Reign before I had to go to work! :-) Pick them all up, enjoy, and lose yourself in the love that is West and Roam!

This book reveals everything you want to know about the prophesy. How it began and why. All the why questions are answered but it takes time to experience each one to see the truth and to see the truth as it unfolds in Troy's eyes is even more powerful than expected. All the stories told about the first life and the love affairs, the reasons for them are played out and fulfilled. It brings you back to the very beginning of when it all began so that you understand. You see the true meaning behind Asher's words that their child would save both worlds and she does. Now Roam and West can have their beginning in peace and without fear they way true love it meant to be.

Wow, the intricacy of this series' plot!
I got an ARC of this book from the author and was planning to save it for the weekend but of course, ended up reading it Friday night (my weekend begins saturday pm) and finished it in one sitting! Couldn't put it down. Great ending to this very exciting series!!
Many questions were answered in this book. I actually felt bad for Troy after finding out what actually happened. He has reason for that rage. Kind of reminds me of the King Arthur/Guinevere/Sir Lancelot love triangle. But to avoid accidentally revealing spoilers, READ IT!!!

This book was amazing. It answer's all the questions of what led to the prophecy and you also get a better understanding of why Troy was the way he was.You get to experience all the feelings of each character in Reign. I finished this book in a day and am so grateful i was able to get an ARC Copy. Very happy with the conclusion of this this story.

I was lucky enough to receive an advance copy of this book. If you love the Roam series, this book will not disappoint. It's well written and brings everything together to give the reader a conclusion they will love. My only complaint is that it's sad to see the series end. I'm looking forward to more fantastic books from this bright new author.

Can there be a satisfactory conclusion to the prophecy or is everyone destined to die to satisfy the fates? Only time will tell.
Every path has led to this moment in time. Every unanswered question would find the truth that it had been seeking. Every emotion,infidelity and betrayal would be examined in minute detail. But what would they find? Death or life?
Revenge. Peace. Release. The reasons for this ultimate showdown were varied and on everyone's mind. Meredith and Eric wanted cold, merciless, and cruel revenge on her father. West, Roam, and Logan wanted final, brutal, and complete death for their tormentors. Eva, Christian, and Will wanted mind destroying, soul ripping, and body destroying endings for all their blackmailers. And Troy....he wanted revenge on all his betrayers.
But they had one thing in common....they all wanted release from this nightmare in one form or another.
How many would win, and how many would die?
How many surprises were in store for them all?
Magic enabled Eva to send West, Roam, and Logan on this long journey to the past, but outside forces prevented her from using it again for awhile. Meanwhile in the past, answers came fast and furious. Without magic, how could a bridge through time be built to plan the final battle? Would Eva regain her powers in time, or would surprises be in store for everyone?
Outstanding!! A dramatic conclusion to a compelling series of books with well developed characters and am interlocking and intriguing plot. Every loose ending was neatly tied up in the final scenes. A real page turner!!
I would highly recommend this book! Excellent read!

Every ending had a beginning and we finally get to see the beginning of these amazing characters! I can't give too much away so this will be short and sweet.
We see the characters fight, fight for everything that they love. You will feel emotions that you didn't think you could ever feel on this book. I felt sympathy for the first time in this book. I thought compassion for the characters. I finally got a sense of understanding of things that had happened and why they had happened. I was thrown for so many loops I wasn't sure it would ever straighten itself out.
Overall this book will make you feel everything! Every emotion that you can feel this book did it. I even felt fear. I rarely feel fear when reading but I felt fear for these characters.
I give this author a Big round of applause for being able to drag me into this universe with Roam and West and Violet and Logan and Ava and Will, Troy and Christopher and more that I won't mention. In my mind I see them all standing on the stage taking a bow for the amazing performance. I am so sad to see it end, but what a ride it was! 5 stars #2OCCJD

what a fabulous story this was. Back to the Future meets the Time Travellers Wife. It has been on my Kindle for almost a year and each book (with the exception of book 6) was a free download. I just didn't know what I had missed by not reading this last year.
There is so much going on with this story. You cant catch your breath. Kimberly Stedronsky writing creates a magical story - a love affair between one woman and three men. reliving their lives 8 times going back and forwards to different years......
Their past is obdurate.
for lovers of Paranormal stories with a difference - this is a must read.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book, it answered so many questions too. I'm sad this is the last book, but so much came out of this one. it makes you fall in love with everyone again and even makes Troy seem a little more understandable (not much, but a little). the everlasting love of all the couple's are put to the test and to reach the HEA it takes a lot of understanding and faith, so if you get the knot in your stomach like I did just tide out the emotional roller coaster, like any good ride you just have to tough it out. loved this book and the series!

Worst part about this book is the fact that the series has ended. BOO! best part was that everything was wrapped up in an exciting way. I love that time gets all squished up and backwards. Really, it was a wonderful read. Totally a girls book, but not a sappy romance. It has tons and tons of action, thrillers, and fantasy. I cried several times, and now I want to cry because it's over....
Keep writing Kimberly, I'll be reading all of your books.

I thought about not reading this book for awhile, because I didn't want this series to end! Well, that didn't happen! All I can say is WOW! Words can't describe how much I loved this amazing, magical, original, wonderful story of unforgettable characters. I cannot wait to read more from this talented and gifted author. She is a true storyteller!
August 17, 2013
Holy freaking crap! Epic ending to a complicated story. I'm not usually one for the switching POV but it worked in this one. I kind of liked hearing Troy's POV and getting a better handle on his motivation. I d wish there had been an epilogue though. I would have liked a glimpse at everyone's happily ever after.

I am not normally a fan of paranormal romance but Kimberly Stedronsky has made a fan out of me! I absolutely LOVE the Roam series and Reign is a wonderful conclusion to this series. This book wraps up the story perfectly leaving the reader satisfied with all question answered. This series and this book are a MUST READ!!

While I haven't normally a fan of romance stories, these six books are the exception! I thoroughly enjoyed reading them. I would warn there is set language used that might offend some, BUT I would still recommend these books! Excellent writing!

I received an ARC of this book. It is a wonderful conclusion to the series. Once I started reading it I could not put it down. This book answers all those questions you may have had from the rest of the series.

as always, I loved this book, and what an amazing ending to the series!!! Kimberly is an amazing author and def knows how to write about hot men!!! how can you not love the men of this series, well all but one ;) great job Kimberly!!!
August 20, 2013
Not sure what to say about this book. I likes the series but it got confusing as to what time they were in. I also didn't like the part of the story between Logan and Roam in this book.
March 25, 2022
It's the end. The beginning. The same. Roam, West, and Logan have been sent back to the beginning, and even though it changed nothing, they finally understand how it all came to be. I found myself fascinated with parts of this book. Troy was a monster by the end but in the beginning, he was only a boy in love. A boy whose heart was broken and betrayed by everyone he loved and trusted. If Roam, West, and Logan had been true, how different would he have been? If even one of them had been true, could he have been a good man? His fidelity was nonexistent from the beginning even when deeply in love but were the rest of morals equally skewed? Was he twisted from the beginning or did his love become obsessive and twist him? There was clearly mental instability in the family. Impossible to know but it became clear he wasn't all bad and Roam, West, and Logan were definitely not all good. Plenty of blame to go around.
All in all, this was a successful time travel love story. That in itself is impressive because time travel is complicated. There were no major plot holes, the repetition wasn't excessive, and it never got ridiculous. The love stories of Roam and West and Will and Eva were fantastic. I was not as enamored with Logan and Violet before and even less after this final book. Logan still seems too invested in Roam. Christopher was a breakout character and deserves his own novella. And the surprise reappearance of another Immortal was a great touch. My only complaint was the story's need for a HEA for everyone. In my opinion, it would have been better to leave a little heartbreak.

I have really enjoyed this series, however, there was a lot going on in this book and it was tough to follow at times. I also wasn’t a fan of Logan and Roam and what they did—essentially cheating on Violet and West. Cheating usually isn’t a hard limit for me if there is sufficient reasoning and satisfying grovel’ and I didn’t feel there was either in this case. So unfortunately it was my least favorite of the series, hence the low rating.
I’m looking forward to reading the next book, West. I really loved the first book and am excited to read it from his POV. And despite my feelings on this book, I do still highly recommend the earlier books of this series.

The story continues after the last horrible cliffhanger where Eva sent her parents somewhere to make amends to the horrendous situation they faced in Icepond.
Thankfully, all hope is not lost, and in this final book, we get to understand the whole situation that led to the prophecy. Even the Villian had the opportunity to explain his action.
I liked how all the loose ends are tied up and the couples' happy endings. It's a very satisfying conclusion. However, I did not like what happened between Logan and Roam in the tower. I wish it did not happen, but I do not possess the time-travelling ability to voice this up to Kimberly!

So I’m going to sum up the series on this one.
Do you ever read a book and are like this has real potential. There’s some small problems but you over look it because you have faith where it could lead? That was Roam. But then I moved onto book 2 and became more and more disappointed. But at that point I was invested and wanted to see how she would finish out the series. I was so disappointed. Especially with this last book. Roam is just out there boning everyone and it’s so dumb, gross, and unbelievable.

Reign (Roam Series, Book Six)
I recommend that when you read this beautiful series you read all six books. I hope that Kimberly Stedronsky continues with this style of writing I look forward to reading her books again.
I will miss looking forward to the next one in the series. This has truly been the best series I have read. It was easy to become consumed by the story and I was happy with the way it all ended. I will hold out hope for some continuation, maybe a look in on Christopher...
Love ❤️ this book so much …..

This storyline is so intricate. There’s so much to take in and process. With very well written characters and a timeline that is in-traceable it will keep you gripped. A brilliant performance.

just as Logan said ,I hate it and love it. It just another of my favorites.

Wow what an twisty, epic ending to this love story that spanned across worlds & centuries.
August 25, 2013
Ehh. At times I really loved this series: there were just as many times that I really hated it. Roam could be so weak and spineless... I don't want to give away anything, but if you're trying to change history, why would you commit the same damn sins of the past? Eva could really be a disgustingly impetulant spoiler brat. Logan was always so full of anger. And some stories just resolved themselves in completely ridiculous ways - ie Cole, REALLY? Yet for all those imperfections, I was hooked from the very first book, which I never would've bought so I'm glad it was a freebie.
I dislike the books where each chapter is told from a different character's point of view for couple of reasons. The most trivial reason is because it's easy to forget who is narrating if you have to break and come back later. Another reason is because it trivializes what other characters are experiencing- why can't I know what one character is thinking while also knowing the other character's motivation? Most importantly, the skipping from first person viewpoint to first person viewpoint is just disjointed. It would flow so much bettter if she just wrote those books from the third person perspective and focused on each character in turn.
All of my review so far focused largely on the series as a whole, so now onto my thoughts on this book. There seemed to be some loose ends that were wrapped up too neatly in a "*poof* it is done" manner. I don't love that. "Because I said so" isn't a satisfying ending. I did feel some sympathy for Troy here- he never really had a chance to be anything else, if you really think about it. It wasn't a terrible ending, but I think it could have made a little more sense and the minor details could've been resolved in a way that made more sense.
