This is a rejected mate tale and one of the best I've read. Its far from the typical.
The characters are strong both with histories that make it difficult to have any kind of relationship. The female lead develops throughout the story getting stronger all the time.
Ms. Bale did a wonderful job with this book. No part of it fell into the cliche rejection tale. Defeated (Mate Rejected Book 6) is definitely a winner.
I love this author, her writing style is just how i like my books. I love this series and all the HEA endings after the bad situations they come from, nice easy reads. The only thing I'd like to see that i really love when other authors do it, is a recap from the previous book at the start of the book, as by the time the next one comes out I've forgotten most of what happens 😅
