The Hybrid Princess and the Rebel's Allure
Heaven Somers has always been known for her control – over her mind, her magic, and her heart. But when her cousin Sienna is ensnared by a god, Heaven’s iron will is pushed to the breaking point. The more she searches for a way to bring Sienna back, the more she finds herself standing at the edge of forbidden paths and staring into the shadows where gods make their deals.
Enter the rebel - Theo Westwood. Charming, clever, and amused by the witch who dares to bargain with not only him, but another god, Hades himself. And with it, Theo is pulled in to help her attain what she desires from a god no one trusts. But Heaven is no fool, and she’s determined to play him at his own game, even if it means sacrificing more than anyone realises.
Spending time with Theo, Heaven finds herself falling for him. But what Heaven doesn’t know is that he carries a secret of his own; one that could cost her the one thing she never imagined she’d give away to anyone let alone him. Her heart
When the rebel himself begins to fall for her, he finds himself denying it and refusing her, but how long can he keep it up?
In a world where gods plot in shadows and betrayal wears a friendly face, will Heaven’s heart remain untouchable, or will love, and the challenge that come with it, unravel her from the inside out?

Author Muse never disappoints. I truly enjoyed reading this book—it was entertaining from the very beginning. The banter between Heaven and Theo is especially fun and engaging.
I admire Heaven’s confidence and her sassy attitude; she’s shown incredible strength throughout the book. Despite being raised without her father , her pain never holds her back. Instead, it fuels her growth into one of the most powerful witches. She’s smart, resourceful, and I loved how she always finds a way out of even the toughest situations.
Theo, on the other hand, is morally gray, but Heaven sees right through him. He may express himself differently, yet his loyalty and love for his family are unquestionable.
The book ends on a very intriguing note, and I’m impatiently waiting for the next installment.

“I want him. The real him. With all the bad. The stress. The darkness.”
I am not ok... I love Muse, but I will never forgive her for breaking my heart the way she did in this story.
Now that that is out of the way, I absolutely adore Heaven and Theo! Their story, so far, is the lightest I've ever read by Muse in terms of smut, but I absolutely loved seeing their journey and how they grew as individuals and as friends. The way they can read each other like no one else can, and how they accept no bull from each other. I honestly can't wait to see the second part of their story.
Now, in terms of the interconnected storyline, things are getting heavier with each book. That new prophecy, the things that were uncovered, and the new secrets that are being hinted at... this series just keeps getting better and better.
Quote: “You might be everything you say you are, and I don’t care, because no matter what you do, you’ll still be mine-my sinner.”

Review of advance copy received from Author
Moonlight Muse, AKA Muse, is a prominent indie author. The talent of this amazing lady shines through in her book’s and this one is no exception. In fact this one could be her Magnum Opus. Her ability to add a voice to her works, with a unique distinct signature, is recognised immediately.
This book is the 8th of the Rossi Legacies, therefore, it is not a standalone, and to get a feel for the background for this story, you need to read the previous 7 books. It relays the story of Heaven Somers and Theo Westwood. Heaven is a young soul. A hybrid Princess, with both Witch/Werewolf capabilities, with wisdom beyond her years, a self-confident young lady who has one goal. To bring her cousin Sienna Rossi back home to her loved ones. Theo Westwood, of Alpha blood. The second born of the Westwood Quints, is a Joker whose one purpose is to protect those he loves by whatever means necessary.
Together they work alongside the remaining Quints- Jayce, Ares, Carter and Renji, as well as Alessandra Rossi and Ahren, Sienna’s brother. It is full of character growth, discovery, battles, secrets, betrayal, loss and heartache. It is such a pure story of young love, without the need for any spice. It wasn’t needed in this book. A slow burn and it was so beautifully composed. Just a warning, if you’re an emotional reader, like myself, arm yourself with an abundance of tissues. I was so invested in this book emotionally. The conclusion left me wanting more.
My recommendation, read this book, you will not be disappointed by the narrative or the strength of both lead characters. A book you will revisit time and time again.

A beautifully slow-burn, emotionally rich beginning to Heaven and Theo’s journey
My rating :⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Some stories don’t need fire to leave a mark. They burn quietly, in restraint, in the spaces where emotions linger instead of exploding. The Hybrid Princess and the Rebel’s Allure is one of those rare gems.
At the center is Heaven Somers, daughter of Raihana and Chris Somers. Powerful and destined from birth. She receives her first prophecy at the age of twelve, and also lost her father shortly after. From that point on, survival isn’t about hiding emotion, but mastering it. Heaven grows into someone calm, calculated, composed, intelligent and emotionally disciplined — a mind and heart in balance, a young girl who feels deeply but never lets feelings dictate her every move.
Her grandmother is her inspiration. Maria Rossi, a woman with no magic, no divine gifts — just an unshakable spirit. Through loss and hardship, Maria stands steady and courageous, and Heaven’s strength mirrors that legacy: power guided by discipline, not impulse. That control is what I loved most in Heaven.
Then there’s Theo Westwood, the second-born Westwood quintuplet — the rebel, the prankster, the one who seems all humor and mischief — a chaos wrapped in charm. But beneath that laughter is a sharp, quiet observer. Theo calculates, protects, and carries weight most would crumble under. He doesn’t hesitate to endure pain or make impossible choices to protect those he loves. Where other heroes sacrifice their loved ones to save the world, Theo doesn’t hesitate to taint his hands in blood to protect his loved ones…even when the cost is unbearable. He walks that path with unflinching resolve, no matter what others think of him. What I loved about Theo is that his rebellion is never careless. It’s thoughtful. Moral. Quietly dangerous.
Heaven and Theo’s bond isn’t instant. They circle each other, cautious, building trust first. A mission to seek Hades’ help to save Sienna becomes the axis of their connection. Through danger and honest conversation, walls slowly fall. Theo opens up in ways he rarely does, and Heaven shares parts of herself she usually keeps hidden. Somewhere in that quiet understanding, they begin to see each other’s soul. And the spark begins to grow.
This is a love story built on emotional intimacy, not physical urgency. Theo never crosses lines. Theo never oversteps. Small gestures like looking away respectfully, adjusting Heaven’s clothing without a second thought — carry weight. These moments are the one that makes him swoon-worthy in my eyes. What sets their relationship apart is restraint. Emotional intimacy, respect, subtle gestures — these are the things that make your heart swell. There’s no rush, no forced tension, only depth.
Book 1 of their journey closes not with fire or possession, but with clarity and quiet understanding. It’s the kind of ending that leaves you with a sense of promise, not a need for immediate resolution.
Moonlight Muse once again proves she can create intensity without a single explicit scene. The absence of physical intimacy only sharpens the emotional resonance. This is a story where feelings linger longer than heat ever could. I’ve never been disappointed by Author Muse, and this book is another classic masterpiece.
If you crave a slow-burn fantasy romance where strength is measured in control, and love grows quietly before it speaks louder, then this is a story worth every page.
✨Favourite Quotes
I’m not a selfless hero. I will choose the ones I love over the masses. F**k the world, f**k being selfless. ~ Theo Westwood
What are we Sweetcheeks? ~ Theo
Stillness is my armour. Self-control is my power, and I wrap it tight around myself like a second skin. ~ Heaven
In our own twisted ways, we both hide our emotions, just behind different masks. Mine behind stoic indifference and his behind playful amusement. ~ Heaven
I’ll wait for you, Theo Westwood, Keeper of Secrets. I will wait for you. For every king has the strength of a queen behind him. ~ Heaven
Heroes show compassion, Villains are driven by fear. But the ones in the shadows? The ones who move without permission, without fear, without loyalty? The ones who choose their morals and do what they want, they’re the ones who shape endings.
And to become a Joker… Well… you need to stop caring about what your loved ones will think of you, stop caring or taking advice. Not just anyone can become a wildcard. You have to have it in you, and not many do… it means walking a different path. ~ Theo

This is book 8 in the Rossi Legacies. Please read the previous books before starting this one. And if you love deep story building the way I do, I strongly recommend reading about the parents in the Alpha Series as well. The author is currently rewriting those books, not because they were bad, but to make them even more exceptional. Book one, My Forbidden Alpha, has already been rewritten and trust me, it is absolutely worth it.
Just when I thought I had a favorite book in this series, this one came along. This book cut me open and left me bare.
I finished it in two days and was left sitting with all the emotions and feelings. Heaven is such a strong, intelligent, and strategic character, far beyond her years. She embodies both grace and strength, and I cannot wait to see her reach her full potential. Because if this is her now, I can only imagine who she will become at her peak.
Theo uses humor to disguise the heavy load he carries, but the sacrifices he has made for those around him are immense. He is fiercely loyal, and I was honestly blown away by the maturity both he and Heaven possess. I found myself laughing and crying throughout the book, especially at the ending (long fat tears). The small glimpses we got of their future were my only saving grace.
The way their relationship developed was beautiful to watch. The maturity, foresight, and emotional depth of these two characters made everything feel real and earned. I hope to see more of them in the next installment, which will be part two of her cousin’s book (book 9 - which is currently serializing on Ream and Inkitt and will later be realised on Amazon on completion) but their conclusion will be in book 10.
Trust me, you need to read this book and the entire collection. I have never regretted a single Moonlight Muse book, and especially not one from this series.
Bare.... Just bare.....
I needed a few days to process everything. The fight scenes felt like I was watching them unfold on a screen. This author is incredible at building scenes and paying attention to the smallest details. There is death. There are battles being fought while a larger war is being prepared for. Be ready for that.
Ten out of ten. Totally recommend.
Bleeding heart. Tears in my eyes. And honestly, isn’t that what makes a book truly great?

Review of advance copy received from Author
The Rossi legacies continue and this time it’s the turn of Heaven Sommers and Theo Westwood. Following the fallout of Sienna’s decision in the last book those left behind set out to find a way to get her back. Heaven will do anything including making a deal with Hades for safe passage in the underworld.
This book highlights how Heaven sees herself and how much she tried to hide things from others. While independent and knowing her own mind she likes to push the boundaries where her magic is concerned and will do anything to help her family and friends. Seeing Rayhan’s return made her see how much she misses her dad and the little things around her that she has not experienced with him.
Theo has this hard, sarcastic outer. Giving the impression he has no cares in the world when in fact under the surface he would kill for his family and friends is loyalty is beyond means. While having grown up around Heaven he never saw her as more than an annoyance but when she plans to rescue Sienna he has no doubts in going. Being Hades’ favoured he has to take risks and do things he is against which help him discover who he really is. During this mission he begins to see Heaven in a different light as they grow close being drawn to each other. Theo also finds himself opening up to her building a trust between them.
The little digs these to make at each other give a playful side to their relationship but both have reservations about where this could lead. Theo feels he is not enough and the burden he carries from Hades will consume him unless he can find a way to make things work. Heaven seems to understand this, and while too young to realise if they are mates, she is drawn to him is a way she never realised. The sly smirks and winks make her believe there is more to their friendship than either may realise.
They are cleverly written and their story is clearly not finished by the ends of the book. There is promise of more to come. I will admit this book had me in tears in places and that end! How could you Muse!!! I can’t wait to see where she is going with this as next book is back to Jayce and Sienna.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Muse's latest instalment, “The Hybrid Princess and the Rebel's Allure” of The Rossi Legacies series, which marks the eighth book in the series, is an outstanding masterpiece that not only meets but dramatically surpasses the high standard set by its predecessors. This novel is devastatingly beautiful, demonstrating a rare and expert balance between intense, heart-pounding action and profound emotional depth.
The novel’s success is anchored by its brilliant character development, particularly in the dynamic forged between the protagonists, Heaven and Theo. Theo, with his irrepressible, cheeky dialogue, and Heaven, defined by her sharp intelligence, instantly establish themselves as favourites within the series. Their interactions are peppered with hilarious banter, which provides a perfect, light-hearted contrast to the story's heavier themes. The fast-paced plot is relentless, continuing to explore the ongoing, complex war that defines their world and showcasing the incredible, inherited strength of both the Westwood and Rossi families as they fight for survival.
Central to the narrative is the organically evolving relationship between Heaven and Theo. Their connection/bond is built incrementally, a slow-burn progression from initial scepticism to deep-seated trust and a powerful, undeniable attraction. This development is complicated by Theo’s long-standing obligations to Hades and Heaven’s intense, magnetic pull towards him, creating a constant tension that drives their personal journeys. Their witty exchanges and growing emotional vulnerability skilfully lay a foundation for what promises to be an explosive and epic romantic future.
This book is the first to omit explicit content. However, the sheer compelling nature of the storyline, the excellence of the character banter, and the pervasive sense of mystery more than compensate for the lack of "extra spice." This stylistic choice did not, in any way, diminish the overall enjoyment or impact of the reading experience.
Ultimately, this instalment soars far beyond expectations. It is an undeniable must-read that guarantees that it will not disappoint!

The Hybrid Princess and the Rebel’s Allure is a masterfully written and deeply introspective exploration of war, sacrifice, and moral complexity.
Heaven and Theo radiate pure Bonnie and Clyde energy. Fundamentally different from their parents, they are realists and strategic thinkers who reject ideals of purity, righteousness, and moral perfection. They also reject the illusion of a safe path, because in war, no such path exists. They understand that survival and protection demand ruthless choices, and they accept that truth without apology.
Their bond is forged through this shared realism. Heaven pushes magic into dangerous and unprecedented territory, channeling ancestral power and crossing lines others are too afraid to approach. She does so with foresight, restraint, and absolute calm, grounded in unwavering confidence in her own power. To outsiders she may appear cold or arrogant, but in reality she is one of the most compelling and resolute characters in the series.
Theo reflects this same ruthlessness in a different form. He comes across as careless and irresponsible, yet he pays an enormous personal price and willingly crosses moral lines others refuse to touch in order to protect the people he cares about.
They have no interest in being heroes, angels, or morally pure. They want to win. They want to protect their loved ones. If that means being the villains, doing the dirty work, or making sacrifices no one else will, they accept that role without hesitation or remorse.
This book offers a brutally honest portrayal of war and the cost of survival. The character work is layered, intentional, and deeply affecting.
Heaven is an absolute standout. An FMC unshakeable from the beginning, secure in who she is, and unwilling to accept no from anyone, including Theo.
Muse does it again 🎉

Gosh I am really going to have to reign myself in with this review because I could talk and talk about how amazing this book was, I have rated more than one book in The Rossi Legacies series five stars but this book is absolutely the best in the series so far which is saying something because this series is truly spectacular. I read this in one sitting staying up until 4.30am because I couldn't put it down!
This book is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions and you feel the full spectrum of them but in the best possible way, I felt joy, I got angry, I cried and I laughed a lot
Theo was one of the best mmcs I have read to date, he was morally grey yet utterly hilarious and an absolute joy to read. The banter with everyone he interacted with was just brilliant as were his insults yet he was so protective of all those who mattered to him
Heaven was equally one of my favourite fmcs I have read to date, she was the definition of bad a** and fierce! I loved how unapologetically herself she was and how she knew what she deserved then demanded that for herself, she fully knew her worth and her power
The book as a whole was action packed, added more mystery to an ongoing story that has developed throughout the series, continued building on the world that is ever changing for them and had the most beautifully written slow burn. When I read a slow burn usually I sit in anticipation for the moment they give in but I didn't find myself doing that with this book because it just wasn't an important factor in the story and I loved that it has no spice, it was utterly refreshing!
This series is honestly a must read and I can't wait for the continuation of Heaven and Theo's story!
I was gifted an arc of this book and have chosen to write a review to share my enjoyment of the book.

I'm speechless, this series is a gift that just keeps giving and its powerful, it's emotional, it's traumatic and hard but there's so much love, commitment and devotion.
One thing I love about Muse's books- she has created some amazingly powerful, strong and resilient FMC's. They are absolutely kick ass women, who deserve everything, and their men are just as equal. It's beautiful and enlightening to read this in all of Muse's books!
But this book- its apart of the whole series and you are best to read in order, I know it's daunting but they're addictive and all interconnected books and this world building is heavily detailed, I'm obsessed!
Now, Theo- he's favoured by Hades, so he has to do some dirty work for him, but he's got such a witty and dark humour about him, he's irritable yet alluring with his slight retriever vibes but he's all dark and deadly and the incessant need to crack a joke.
Heaven is a force to be reckoned with, she's so powerful and she knows it, she works with it and enhances her own abilities. She's smart, she's sassy, and she falls first- and I really don't blame her. She's still only young, she doesn't have her wolf yet, so no fate interfering (yet)... but she's compassionate and caring.
Overall, Hold onto your hats and your hearts for this book is one wild ride, I was hanging out so badly for this one after the last book especially knowing there's a traitor, a filthy bloody traitor and this story gets closer to some resemblance of answers but closure in the middle of a raging war is never in sight, there's also challenges and horrors hiding around the corner.

The Hybrid Princess and the Rebel’s Allure by Moonlight Muse
Rating - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beneath Theo's Bad boy exterior and joker facade lies a soul that loves deeply, willing to risk everything to protect those he cares about.

Heaven is so determined to take Sienna out from the God's Realm that she has begun to plan a strategy.But for this plan, she needed Theo's help.Being Hades favoured,Theo doesn't want to appeal to Hades to help Heaven going to God's Realm knowing that Hades will ask something dearly in exchange and because of that he avoids meeting her.Being a stubborn and cunning person,Heaven persists in pursuing and irritating him until he agrees with her proposal.Heaven and Hades make a deal that will cost something to Haven.This is the moment where Heaven's and Theo friendship starts.Sharing her idea with the rest of the quints and friends,they all together prepare themselves for the big journey to God's Realm.
Could they bring Sienna and themselves safely home?Could Heaven's and Theo friendship grow into something more?
This is Book 7 from The Rossi Legacy. You actually must read the beginnings, specifically with The Alpha Series,in order to gain a deeper comprehension of the development of events and characters. They are all tied to each other. All I can say is that this book left me dumbfounded. I was shaken and deeply saddened by the conclusion. The fact that this story doesn't contain any spicy or smutty scenes really astonished me.
I was enthralled with the plot, their bantering, and the humorous moments till the very end.
Wow, wow, wow.
Heaven is a reserved, intelligent, and persuasive girl who perseveres until she achieves her goals. She remains resilient in both good and challenging times despite losing her father.
Theo is a protective, kind, yet morally gray boy.Because protecting his loved ones is his primary objective, he agrees to be the family's villain.
They have a unique bond based on mutual understanding, selflessness, love, and respect.
I believe I've found my favourite couple of the series. ❤️🔥

Review of advance copy
Coming out of The Tribrid Princess and the Taste of Chaos, I wasn’t entirely sure how I felt stepping into this book or about its characters—especially Theo. At first, I honestly didn’t like him much at all. But as the story unfolds, Moonlight Muse peels back his layers in such a satisfying way. Much like his classmates, the reader doesn’t truly know Theo in the beginning—and discovering how selfless, caring, and genuinely good he is became one of my favorite parts of the book.
Heaven absolutely shines. She feels incredibly mature for her age, grounded, and strong in a quiet, compelling way. I loved how easily she sees through Theo’s antics and refuses to be easily charmed. Both Heaven and Theo are deeply selfless characters, willing to take on what feels like impossible tasks for the people they love, even at great personal cost.
What really made this story resonate for me was the relationship that develops between them. Their connection feels earned—built on trust, shared sacrifice, and an unexpected sense of comfort and peace they find in one another. Watching that bond grow was deeply rewarding.
I won’t lie—it was hard for me when their story paused, knowing I’ll have to wait until after Sienna’s next book to see how things continue. But that’s also a testament to how invested I became in them. I can't wait to see how Heaven and Theo find their way back together as well as who's ultimately uncovered as the traitor in their group.

This book is beyond amazing!! The plot of this entire series is unlike anything I’ve ever read! The author is constantly keeping you on the very edge of your seat, itching to turn those pages to find the answers you so desperately seek.
The way Heaven and Theo go from finding the other so annoying to becoming friends to falling in love is so beautiful. It’s one of the sweetest stories I’ve read.
I’m usually more a spice person in a book but between the FMC and MMC there’s no spice except a sizzling kiss at the end and honestly the book is so perfect like that! It really has you pining for them to be together d see how their journey pans out in their next book!
But it goes beyond just the storyline.
It’s one of those books where you’ll immediately want to reread searching for any crumbs of clues to see if you can see what’s going to happen and enjoying the book like it’s the first time reading it.
This book isn’t just a typical shifter romance, the suspense and twists that are in this book is beyond remarkable and leaves you feeling all the emotions right along side the characters.
Some people might not like how the book ended but for me it was necessary, after all this is war and things are going to get brutal.
I loved every second of it and have already done a reread.

Heaven and Theo Stole the Show!
The Hybrid Princess and the Rebel’s Allure (The Rossi Legacies Book 8) is one of my favorite installments so far, largely because of Heaven and Theo and the intensity of their dynamic.
Heaven is such a refreshing heroine. I loved how confident she is—not only in her abilities, but also in her emotions and her sense of right and wrong. She knows who she is and never apologizes for it, which makes her strength feel grounded and authentic.
Theo is the perfect counterbalance. Beneath his mask of indifference lies deep righteousness, loyalty, and conviction, and slowly uncovering those layers was incredibly satisfying. His rebellion is quiet but powerful, rooted in values rather than ego.
The romance between Heaven and Theo is a beautifully done slow-burn, filled with tension, restraint, and emotional depth. Their connection feels earned and deeply compelling.
Moonlight Muse once again expands the Rossi world in a way that feels natural and engaging, making this book not just a strong continuation, but a standout in the series.
A must-read for fans of confident female leads, morally grounded rebels, and emotionally charged supernatural romance.

Muse gives us a perfect slow‑burn fantasy romance with loyalty, fortitude, and a connection that builds. Book eight of the Rossi Legacies drops you straight back into a world already in motion. So if you haven't read the first seven, you're missing the emotional weight this story stands on.
Heaven Somers is the hybrid witch/wolf princess with inner strength and resilience and a calm that feels almost otherworldly, and she is determined to bring her cousin Sienna home. Theo Westwood, the second-born quint and the family's resident rebel, hides a fierce, razor‑sharp loyalty beneath all that swagger. He'll break rules, cross lines, and burn bridges if it means protecting the people he loves.
Their journey into the underworld forces Heaven to face long‑buried grief, while Theo shoulders impossible choices that make him see her in a new light. Their bond doesn't ignite in a flash; it simmers. Built on trust, quiet moments, and conversations that linger long after they end. No spice, no shortcuts, just two people learning each other's shadows and strengths.
Their banter has that perfect push‑pull energy, but underneath it lies fear of what they're becoming, and what it might cost. The ending leaves a promise hanging in the air as it expands the saga, deepens the lore, and pushes its characters into bold new territory.

Review of advance copy
I've loved every book in this series up until this one! While I am not opposed to stories where no one is safe and horrible things can happen to anyone, like GOT, I thought that 13ish books into this series the formula was set which included the main characters getting their HEA. For a main female character HEA to be removed in the absolute worst way possible for that character went too far and has ruined the entire series for me! Especially since it was done as a plot point for two male characters. There were things coming up in the next 5 or so books I was looking forward to like Jayce and Sienne reuniting and finding out who Ahren, Allie and Dante end up with but this book has extinguished any interest I had and will be the last book I read from the author. The way the MFC story ended was so unnecessarily cruel its also ruined the original series for me which I was planning to re-read on my upcoming maternity leave. Loved the Gods realm part and am so dissapointed that the series has been ruined!

OMG!! honestly, whenever I read/finish Author Muse books I would think “ahh, this is my favorite”, and then the next book comes and the next. Truly, each novel is exceptional. One that you would want to read over and over again and this book “The Hybrid Princess and the Rebel’s Allure” exceeds my expectations. I fell in love with Theo, he is by far my favorite now (sorry Alejandro 🫶). I love the MC. Is he really morally gray? I think I would be the same though. I have to admit, I shed a few tears while reading and although I am a bit stressed , having been a fan of author muse, I trust the process.
This book is a masterpiece, fast paced but well written storyline. The MCs are incredibly strong (as always Westwood and Rossis ❤️)—overall, It’s a beautiful, but devastating at the same time. Muse knows exactly how to balance the "badass" moments with the "bring your tissues" moments. I’m still reeling from that ending! And cannot wait for the next novels. Definitely a must read!

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this book!! There is something about this entire series that I just can’t get enough of, and with the way the previous book ended I couldn’t wait to dive into this one, and once again Muse produced an absolute banger!
Heaven is on a mission to get her cousin back and needs Theo’s help and he is reluctant at first but Heaven is Heaven and gets what she wants. These two were something else. The banter between the two was perfection and I couldn’t get enough of Heavens sash and Theo’s witty comebacks.
Even though there is no spice between the two, there was still an amazing connection from friendship to relationship, the love that started to bloom between the two and the closeness they each started to seek with each other was beautiful to read about.
This book made me laugh, and sob hysterical, but it was devastatingly beautiful.
The world that Muse builds gets the reader involved and begging for more and I will never get enough.

I fell in love with Theo and Heaven. They honestly became the couple I didn't know we needed. Theo is the rebel out of the Westwood Quints and Heaven is a hybrid and very powerful witch. She is the embodiment of control; she knows what she wants and she won't back down. The chemistry between these two was beautiful. It's a slow burn, friends to lovers, and Muse nailed it. Seeing these two go from bickering, to forming a true friendship, to falling for each other flowed so good. She may have fallen first, but I believe he fell harder. This book continues with major events taking place in the series and it is a wild ride of emotions, adventure, battles, wit, humor (thank you Theo!) and some devastation. The end of this book also marks the half way point for the series as a whole. And Muse will put you through ALL the feels. I highly recommend, but keep in mind this is not a standalone. For full understanding you'll want to start at the beginning of the series.

This book delivers. The FMC is strong, rebellious, and knows her worth, which made her impossible not to root for. What really sold me, though, was her fated mate.
He comes off cold and ruthless at first, but his actions speak louder than words. He protects, provides, and handles business—no speeches, no soft promises, just results. His way of caring may not be traditional, but it’s effective, intentional, and honestly very attractive.
The chemistry is there, the tension is delicious, and the fated-mate bond feels earned instead of rushed. The balance between romance, power, and rebellion kept the story moving and engaging the entire time.
Final verdict: Strong FMC, morally gray fated mate, and just the right amount of spice. If you like your romance intense and your love interests action-oriented, this is a must-read.

Muse is an incredible author and her well-written and expertly thought out series and character progression makes her books a must read. This book is no exception. As the newest addition to the Rossi Legacies series, this book sucks you in immediately and keeps you captivated. Heaven is such a confident strong character. She knows who she is and what she is capable of and is just unapologetically herself. When I grow up I want to be her! Lol. Theo is a right larrikin but you know there is more to him. He’s an observer and thinker. While seeming to be complete opposites, Heaven and Theo are willing to do whatever it takes to protect those they love, even if they must walk or cross the line between right and wrong. As with all Muse's books, once you start reading you will not want to put it down. You will laugh, cry, shout and swoon. And when you've finished it will stay with you.

I knew that I would LOVE Heaven. She is sassy and wicked smart and knows exactly what she wants. She's confident and funny and brings out the best in those around her. Her desire to rescue Sienna knows no bounds. To say she won't take no for an answer is an understatement, and her sacrifices are unimaginable. Theo is the male lead you never knew you needed. I wanted to hate him, but damn if that guy didn't worm his way into my heart. He's freaking hilarious, and there are no bounds to what he will do for those he loves. This book is full of heartache. You'll laugh until your side hurts, and you'll cry your eyes out. This book is definitely FRIENDS to LOVERS, and there is very little spice. I think Musey is saving that for book 2. Beautifully written. I can't wait for Heaven and Theo to carve out their own path back to each other! Bravo!

I’m in tears. This was the best out of the Rossi Legacies, hands down.
Spice level: tame. And I’m not even complaining.
Heaven portrays herself as perfect (and to be fair, she owns it) and Theo is the clown of the class but both of them have so much under their facade that they show to others.
As being part of the series, it follows Heaven becoming stronger as a witch and also goes over a bit of Jayce/Sienna’s relationship. Keen to get started on that one too.
Raven… Am I surprised Muse killed one of our beloved characters? Yes and no… Muse when we find you…..
I need more of Theo. I want to know who’s the traitor and it may seem obvious but with Muse, you never know!
I’m sad. I need to read something lighter after this…

Review of advance copy
Well , that book shows that not everyone is either good or bad. Is represented the soul connecting of two young individuals. She has lost so much but her strength is not to be underestimated. He hides by his gorgeous smile. Their love can't be any more pure and deep...well in the next book probably Author Muse will show it can😊. Loved the book with all the range of emotions. The pride how skilled, protective and brave all of them are. The sadness that will always linger, like in previous books. The taunting moments that bared them to their very souls. You don't read that book and walk away the same. Loved it in every way 💚

Well it goes without saying that muse is a beautiful soul who loves her cliff-hanger's!!💜
The characters in the book are both loveable and mildly infuriating😩🥰 from big battles to mild banter this story has it all.
The up's, the down's, the chore's and the love. This rollercoaster of a ride will make you laugh, cry and shout at what ever you're reading it on!! And i'm all for it, this is definitely a 5star book that i can't wait to add the physical copy to my bookshelf, i really enjoyed reading about more of my favourite's and some of the golden oldies.
Her story's are true gem's and i urge you one and all to go check them out, she does not disappoint💜💚🔥

This is book 8 in the Rossi Legacies. Please read the previous books before starting this one. And if you love deep story building the way I do, I strongly recommend reading about the parents in the Alpha Series as well. The author is currently rewriting those books, not because they were bad, but to make them even more exceptional. Book one, My Forbidden Alpha, has already been rewritten and trust me, it is absolutely worth it.
And here I thought I had a favorite in the series and then this one comes along and i have a new favorite. This book brought out all the feels that only muse can give us. I literally devoured this book in one sitting.
