I loved it! I am so thrilled that the planet of Valose is healing and that the returning warriors don’t all want to stay in the domed city, Gunnox was perfect for Sarah as they healed each other and became friends as well as mates. He was so patient even though it was tearing him apart. With a lot of action, sexy times and evil traffickers getting what they deserved this book added to the wonderful series of silver warriors and their fated mates.
I must say, I’m caught between sadness and contentment. I loved this series, could not put it down as I read all 14 books in 7 days! So happy to see all the Valosians who found their spirit mates happy and doing well. But I’m sad that there isn’t another book yet to move on to. Iona writes so engagingly and I felt like each one of the Valosians and humans we got to know are now friends I won’t get to see for awhile (unless I reread the series and I just might have to). Just brilliant.
Another fantastic installment of Ms Strom's Warriors of Valose Saga. I am really enjoying the 'off worlds' side to this series; loyal Valosians putting their lives on the line to rescue kidnapped kin and, as the different clans face a mutual foe, learning to work together, and becoming trusted friends.
Gunnox is one such warrior who, along with a small band of comrades, tracks his people to a far flung planet where they are enslaved and being worked to death.
The last place Sarah ever expected to wind up was down a mine on a planet millions of miles from earth, surrounded by aliens.
Rescue seemed impossible, until Gunnox and his fellow warriors turn up... literally out of the blue... and despite her circumstances, Sarah dares to believe in the kindle of hope their appearance elicits. Not to mention that Gunnox's unexpected chivalry kindles a whole other flame.
Adventures abound in this fast paced tale, as Gunnox and Sarah negotiate various and often dangerous obstacles to reach safety and their own happiness. As ever, Ms Strom's vivid descriptions bring the various worlds to life, so eloquently, that I am part of the story, and am immersed in each character's fortunes from the first line to the last page.
Riveting tale, full of drama, excitement and, of course, heart fluttering romance!
This is book 14 of the most amazing series I’ve ever read and I hope there is more to come but if not this one captured my heart as there all come back home to Valose with fated mate as well. Gunnox has just returned home with fellow warrior Kyrran and his human mate Raven after they where taken by the evil Gretolics and sold off. Happy to be home but he wants to save his people and decides to go search for others and bring them home. Now they find warriors and humans in amine and rescue them and when Gunnox see’s the human female Sarah his Ancillary Heart starts to beat for her and her only telling him she is his fated mate. Sarah is a human female thats was taken from Earth by grey beings and is now in a mine with other Aliens with no way of getting out until they are rescued by Gunnox and she is instantly drawn to him and doesn’t know why but he tells her she is his fated mate but she wants to go home. But the longer they are together the stronger the bond grows between them and they are steamy up the place but now Sarah isn’t sure if she wants to stay or go. This is a fantastic series that I would definitely recommend to everyone.
Silver Splendor is the perfect ending to a phenomenal saga. Although, it's bittersweet that the Warriors of Valose has come to a close, I'm thrilled the Warriors and their mates, are all where they're supposed to be. Now, we can indulge in the 'off worlds' that this series created. Or in television terms: spin offs.
As intimidating as Gunnox is, I loved that Sarah trusted him to keep her safe. When they forged an unbreakable bond, she questioned whether she could go back home, and never see her spirit mate, ever again. She had to set that thought aside, as their adventures continued...
I highly recommend the Warriors of Valose Saga to all Sci-Fi romance lovers out there.
The fourteenth book of the saga. I don’t know how the author does it but she really makes each book unique. We get to see several of the previous characters and sorta get a glimpse at how life has changed especially from the eyes of one of the Valosian males. Gunnox was one of the ones recently reunited with his world and now he wants nothing more but to rescue more of his fellow males as well as the human females. We get plenty of adventure, action and danger. The romance comes during his rescues and he will do anything to prove how much she means to him. Love the romance.
Iona Strom's Silver Splendor continues the saga of finding the abducted human women and Valosian males sold into slavery all over the universe. Sarah wound up working in the mines, abused by nasty aliens and their queen. Gunnox arrives with a group to free the slaves and almost immediately resonates to Sarah. Returning to their home world, now Sarah must decide whether to try to return to Earth or embrace her soulmate and his world. Great characters, world building and sexiness?!
I LOVED this book. It really took me back to the feeling of the first few stories in the series. The world building was amazing, story was fantastic, characters were well developed and interesting. A bit of slow burn, but still very good. All in all I would highly recommend this one, just be sure to read the others first.
I love this series and all of the adventures that are taking place to return everyone back to their home on Valose. The description of the surroundings are excellent in this book. I can almost see the dragon swooping down and picking up the deer And as always the fated mates.Sarah and Gunnox, have a ever after.
Just pages and pages of purple prose. I really tried to finish this series but it just seems to get worse with each book. If you don't know what that means I'll add the definition for you.. purple prose is overly ornate text that may disrupt a narrative flow by drawing undesirable attention to none important details thereby diminishing the appreciation of the overall story. Purple prose is characterized by the excessive use of adjectives, adverbs, and metaphors.
