The Starborn Saga #3
The Taurus Treasure
When Lando agrees to travel to Merafeth—the land of mist and sea—he expects adventure, not a partner. But the search for an ancient relic rumored to grant immortality leaves him unwillingly bound to Olive, a guarded resident of the island tasked with assisting him in finding the relic’s four missing pieces.
Forced into an uneasy alliance, the two clash at every turn. Yet when their first victory reveals a hidden map, they’re launched into a race across worlds. With an enemy closing in and time slipping through their fingers, they must battle ruthless forces, their own clashing wills, and the growing feelings they never planned for.
With the fate of the worlds at stake, Lando and Olive must learn to rely on someone they never wanted to trust. But as sparks ignite and walls begin to fall, the question becomes far more dangerous than who will claim the relic first.
Because some treasures promise immortality… and others demand the heart.

The Saga continues with Lando’s story.
He may be my actual favorite MMC from the series.
I enjoyed the characters and their romance is a well done reluctant allies to lovers. The spice was spicier in this book and their banter was delightful. Both the FMC and MMC work through their very similar insecurities during their mission and find solace in each other.
I absolutely loved the introduction of some new magical beastie side-kicks.
Overall I am enjoying this series. It is perfect if you need a quick, easy to read, adventure.
Thank you to Willa Hollis for the eARC copy.

Absolutely loved this book! It gave me all the feels. While it doesn't really have a lot of our main characters from the first 2 books, we get a new character to love, Lando. I absolutely love our boy. He is definitely a cinnamon roll in all the good ways. He meets our spunky MFC Olive. He gives her all kinds of nicknames through the book.
This book starts where our last book ended, our boy Lando goes on an adventure to find the missing pieces on the treasure map. They encounter all kinds of fun with all 4 pieces. He is obsessed with our MFC and tries to deny his feelings. Around 60% is when the spice starts happening... So hold on, this book has some nice spice... And our boy likes his spice.... He is a closet spice. We have our villain that comes through and of course you want to jump in and scream at said person. I really want to say more but I can't because it would contain spoilers.
Overall I enjoyed this book and can't wait to see the next book.... The epilogue has me happy for a book friend as this will make her so happy!
Thank you Willa again for a great book. I love getting to read these books before they go live and get a taste of all the fun adventures.

Thank you Ms. Hollis for the ARC copy!
While a few familiar names appear from the earlier novels in this series, this is a dual point of view that focuses on Lando (MMC) and Olive (FMC). It is filled with witty banter, a unique magic system and great world building.
The characters themselves are well developed and the heroine is a true warrior that can hold her own in more ways than one. The romance between the two main characters was a slow burn that progressed to burning down worlds for each other but in a way that does not feel rushed.
Overall, I enjoyed this novel and give it a solid 4/5. My main critique that kept this from being a 5/5 was, in my opinion, the over usage of expletives. I have no issue with them but I found them distracting at times and over the course of the novel, they lost their emotional impact.

This has to be my favourite book in the Starborn Saga 😍 I absolutely loved this book from start to finish. I fell totally in love with Olive and Lando’s love story and how sometimes it’s the woman who saves the guy! The main plot was so well written and had me fully engaged on the edge of my seat- especially towards the end!
