Entwined Hearts #3
Love Renewed
Dane has only ever loved one woman in his whole life. Nova. When he lost her everything went dark, his mind, his soul, and his life. She was his light, his heart. A decade later fate plays a cruel joke bringing them back together, only to tear them apart again, when he realises she has no idea who he is. Now he has to battle, wage war, and bring grown men to their knees to get her back. The biggest fight he faces is turning away from the darkness and letting the light in.
All Libby Burchall remembers is a mediocre life, she’s just existed for over a decade. Scared of her history and confused about who she is, the safe path is the only one she’s travelled. When a face that she can’t remember breezes in from the past, calling her Nova and looking at her like she’s a ghost, it sets off a chain reaction of emotions that she can’t ever remember feeling before. Now she can’t stop seeing his eyes, hearing his voice, and being consumed by the dark, intense and insanely beautiful man that made her feel alive.
Two shattered halves of one soul. He wants her light to illuminate the never-ending darkness. She wants to run, but something keeps dragging her back.
Can they survive each other?

I love Maria not just as an author but as a friend. I was privileged enough to read this way before the release date and I can say I loved it so much. Dane is on another level. He and Nova have a very beautiful relationship. From past to present you learn that it is much more than a coming to age relationship. I am so happy I read this series definite fave of mine for the year. Must read.

My heart start to beat again!!!
Maria, what can I say about this book? That is PERFECT, that this story definitely is my favorite of the Entwined Hearts Series and the year. Not because I not liked the others, but the passion that I found in this one was what have me captivated through the beginning. The story of the second chance love, is the one that I will take to my heart for the rest of my life. When I knew Dane in the previous books he took my soul. His force, his darkness got me. He is the sexiest man alive that would love you beyond the world.
This kind of dark-romance story is the kind that I loved the most. Dane without his Nova is nothing. The love they shared is beyond perfect. The angst, the emotions and the love, everything they fell you felt it too. His alpha-male, dominance is super hot!!!!. The story once again is well written, because hello is Maria, but apart form that, the story captivated my heart from the beginning to the end. The book brings out your emotions, because you feel everything the felt.
This was a great and a perfect way to end the story of this family, because I considered them mine too, the emotions and the connections that they have is what makes the story just perfect. I love the way Maria brought the characters and their stories together, and the twists, just have me ahhhhhh . The author sucked me into the story and I found myself saying one more chapter until I devoured the book in one siting.
Maria’s strength and writing methods just so perfect, I definitely recommend this whole series 100000%. I can’t thank her enough for bring those stories to us. She is one of my favorite people because I see the commitment and the strength she has to make her dream come true. The whole stories are the perfect way for learned how to have a real and loyal family. Those guys are everything. But one thing, why do you have to put that epilogue. Why Maria? Why? ………
Maria once again, you don’t disappoint me and never will, you are my on-click author. Thank you so much for your passion, for your kindness and for your love to your fans. I wish you the best on everything you achieved. I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK… ALWAYS

Favorite Quotes:
“I would be worried about choking on my tongue if it weren’t for the fact that it’s currently hanging out of my mouth.”
“But I want to be clear, you have my past, completely. I want you to have my future, I will everything I am down for you,”
“For the first time in my life, I feel something, and that makes me want to sink to my knees and thank some higher being. I don’t want to lose it.”
“Are you freaking kidding me? You give me another chance? I wouldn’t get back together with you if you were smothered in ice-cream and had a chocolate cock. And trust me that’s the only way I’d even be tempted.”
“I’ll love these people forever and I know they’ll love me. We have a fierceness that cannot be broken.”
My Review:
This is one of those rare series in which each subsequent book was even better than the ones before, which made the third and final book utterly fantastic. Ms. MacDonald has honed her skills and delivered a dynamic, well-paced, expertly crafted, sensual, and highly entertaining story. Each scene was richly detailed and thoroughly described, and played like a movie reel in my head. I adored her characters and wish I had such a loving and unconditionally supportive group of friends and extended family to spend time with. The writing was absorbing and intriguing with welcome and clever hits of humor and steam. I had forgotten what a naughty little minx Ms. MacDonald could be as her sensual scenes sizzled and had me gasping. I have a new BBF named Dane.

You know how good a book is by how much emotion the story can pull out of the reader, when you are so emersed, so.... committed the characters, that you feel their happiness, their sorrow and their pain.
This book is all that and so much more. It's the end of the 3 part series. The end of 6 entwined heart that fought and strove, even killed to stay together to be the family they wanted and deserved to be.
Dane Mathews is the man how made all that happen. Through him, he helped get herself back and take control of her life, she got Con back,in book 1 but not without her own trials and tribulations. Then, it was Saul and Soph's turn and once again, Dane was there. He saved them, made them see that without each other, they were nothing. Shadows playing in the dark.
Book 3 brings Dane's story to the forefront. It's hard, gritty. Painfull and shocking in the intensity and the outright revelations. Dane has lived a life full of darkness in the ten years since he lost Nova. He was carried down a lonely, harrowing path, and only she could save him.
When Nova comes back into his life, by pure chance, he was ecstatic. But, something terrible had happened to Nova all those years ago. She nearly lost her life, but she truly lost her memories. All she had when waking from an accident was a plane ticket to New York and her passport. Ten years later when Dane calls her by her old name, she doesn't know him. In fact, she's scared and avoids him and finally returns to New york and her old life.
But, Dane doesn't give up. His brother is getting married in Vegas and he's going to make Nova see...him. All of him. The path to true love never runs smoothly. And this is definitely true for this couple. The twists and turns, the sheer hell they are put through is mind-blowing. As is the steamy, loving scenes. Dane is the hottest, sexiest Alpha male of all and Nova a kick-ass partner. She stands up for herself, even to Dane when she feels betrayed by his actions.
Fierce, determined love, hot sex and a story that never quits.That's Love Renewed.
Maria is my go to author now. There is nothing she will write that I can ever see me not just liking, but loving. Put her on your 1-click list today, I guarantee you won't be sorry.

I have to confess something before I begin: I’m the Queen of Procrastination! I’ve held off writing my review because then I’d have to admit it was all over. Something I just didn’t want to face lol.
I adore Maria’s writing and have been a huge fan of Dane ever since reading Love Reflection, the first in the Entwined Hearts series. It’s hinted that Dane is not all he appears to be and I’ve wanted to unravel his layers to see what lurked beneath. Not like that, you dirty lot ;)
There is only one woman for Dane and that’s his Nova:
“She’s burned into my soul.”
However, as we know the path to true love never runs smooth and Nova has no memories beyond the last ten years. I felt Dane’s pain at the realisation that the love of his life doesn’t know who he is. You can literally feel his anguish and yearning leaping from the words on the pages. Yet Dane is not a man without resources, as we’ve seen in the last two books, and he never gives up when he wants something:
“….I won’t just fight for her, I’ll battle, wage war and pull the world apart at the seams if I have to.”
Le sigh….
Dane embarks on not just a battle to win Nova’s heart but for his very life as demons from his past refuse to let him just walk away.
The suspense was weaved perfectly throughout the story and I felt like I was literally on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. When you become so emotionally attached to characters in a series you feel their hurt as if it were your own.
The sexual chemistry between Dane and Nova is off the scales hot. I thought I’d get singed by my kindle. And don’t even get me started on their emotional connection which is so tangible. Take for instance when Dane tells Nova:
“You were my beginning and you’ll be my end.”
All your favourites are there: Con & Pea with baby Ellie, Saul & Soph and Rich & Eric. I love this family because that’s what they are. The bonds have been forged from the very beginning.
These words will stay with me forever:
“The light always breaks through the dark.”
This was the perfect ending to the trilogy and I can’t wait to read about the next generation #DaneAndNova4Ever

I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. This are MY thoughts.
I have loved the Entwined Hearts Series since I read the first book Love Reflected. I have been in love with Dane Matthews since the first book too.
Dane is not your typical 'male lead', He is a bit of everything. The perfect amount of everything actually (In my opinion anyway)You lean a lot more about him in this book, his past, his work and his first love, Nova.
Libby is such a great lead, She's smart and sassy and strong but, she is also broken. And it makes her so endearing as a character.
This book had be biting my nails, hanging on the edge of my seat with the twists I did not see coming and I can't way much without giving all the good bits away!
Entwined Hearts is easily one of my favorite series I have read this year and I highly, HIGHLY recommend it.
Maria's writing has gone form strength to strength and while I'm sad this series has come to an end, I can't wait to see what else she delivers in the future.

Once again I was honored to recieve an advanced copy of this amazing authors book and once again I am blown right out of the freaking water!!
This is Nova and Deans story. It is hot and sexy like you wouldn't even believe. One thing that I loved without a doubt is that even though this is their story we also get to see Pea and Con and Soph and Saul!!
This is one of those stories where you think you already know one of the main characters but what you think you know is not so!!! I was sucked right into this story and kept enthralled with every page!?!?!?
I will forever be #teamcon but I have to admit Dane does an amazing job of giving him a run for his money..
This (I think) is the last book of the series and with that I am sad but also very excited to see what this talented amazing authors comes out with next!!

I could not wait to read Dane's story! And Maria has really outdone herself with this conclusion to the Entwined Hearts series.
For all this is all about Dane, we still get to see the other characters we have grown to love throughout this series, as well.
When Dane realises that Libby is in actual fact Nova, a girl her grew up with in foster care who disappeared and he has been looking for ever since. Libby doesn't remember her past or Dane, but this story was a beautiful reconnection for them both.
Their story had me hooked from the start and loved seeing Libby remember Dane as the chapters progressed. I cant believe this is the last of the series..... I have loved each and every character and I have loved seeing how Maria MacDonald has grown as an author.
You will need to read the series in order to fill in the blanks, but it will totally be worth your while.
5 brilliant stars!

5 INTENSE, HOLY HOTNESS, DANE AND NOVA STARS
November 9, 2015
5 INTENSE, HOLY HOTNESS, DANE AND NOVA STARS!!!
Well....I'm speechless!!!!
This is one of my most anticipated books of 2015 since June. I feel like I've waited forever for this book I wanted it that badly!!
Well...let me tell you it doesn't disappoint. It's intense, gritty and dark in places but oh so good.
From the moment we met Dane Matthews in Love Reflection he stole my heart completely, I love all the characters in the Entwined series but Dane is the one.
As you know from the very start, Danes heart belonged to just one woman, Nova, right from when they were teenagers and no one seems could compare,m. When they meet again and Nova/Libby has no 're collection of him, he's gutted, so he does everything in his power to get her to remember, but Dane has his dark moments of what he is and what he's done in his life. Nova aka Libby, well she's amazing just like the other girls in these books, she's strong and has the biggest heart and I really felt for her, I loved the relationship Pea and Soph formed w with her and they had such a strong bond. I loved how Maria focused on Dane and Sauls relationship as brothers and you could see the love and the bond they formed between them, you get Pea and Dane as brother/sister but that bond is sealed tight, we get Pea, Con and baby Eleanor and all.of them as a family unit and its beautiful!!
Dane...OMG...he's gorgeous, dark, intense, and just a little bit dominant....I love him!!! He is definitely up there with my favourite alphas. This book has it all....love, compassion, humour, family and so much heart and then there's the dark side, gritty violent, suspense and HOLY HOTNESS all rolled in to one powerful, amazing book that will completely overtake you and crush your heart but warm your heart all at the same time!!!
This is definitely the best book of the series, you don't to miss this....
Maria MacDonald is superb and at her very best, she pulls you in with every word she writes.....oh and the epilogue...Jesus...that just about killed me. She really does know how to get straight into your mind and your heart. I'm really sad that this book is the end but all good things and all that....
Maria I bloody love your face...!!!! She's one of the nicest, funniest, compassionate people I've had the pleasure of getting to know and genuinely cares about people.
If you haven't started the Entwined series then do so...ASAP, if you have and haven't had chance to start Love Renewed then bump this to the top of your tbr because you won't want to wait.
I would give this book so many more stars than I actually but I'm afraid
5 is going have to do.....
AMAZING!!!!

Holy deep, dark and dangerous read! Love Renewed will break your heart, crush your soul, and obliterate your mind! This is book 3 in the series and is the best one by far!
It follows Dane, rough, raw, deep, beautiful Dane and his sharp, sassy, stunning Nova.
From the start this story will grab everything in you and squeeze it tight, the captivating twists and turns light up the story and leave you hooked sometimes gasping for air, falling in love and needing a very cold shower!! I breezed through this book in one sitting shutting out the world to fully immerse myself in Dane & Nova.
Maria's writing style is addictive and full of feels. I've been eagerly anticipating Dane's story for ages now and knew it would be a heart breaking read. Dane is a fierce alpha male that will take over your heart and melt your panties. His never ending love for Nova is beautiful, strong and real. Dane also suppresses a bad dark side, one that's insanely protective of his family and if possible this made me love him even more.
Love Renewed contains dark subject matter that is a it gruesome in places, but made the story. So much so that I was routing for Dane to embrace his dark side at certain times throughout the book!
Having Pea & Con, Soph & Saul back also made it for me as I fell in love with each of them in the previous books.
And that Epilogue!!! I didn't know whether to love or hate Maria after reading that. I even had to read it 3 times for it to fully sink in, but despite the shock it's actually the most perfect, beautiful way to end.
5 thrilling, intense poignant stars! And my fave read of Maria's so far!
It follows Dane, rough, raw, deep, beautiful Dane and his sharp, sassy, stunning Nova.
From the start this story will grab everything in you and squeeze it tight, the captivating twists and turns light up the story and leave you hooked sometimes gasping for air, falling in love and needing a very cold shower!! I breezed through this book in one sitting shutting out the world to fully immerse myself in Dane & Nova.
Maria's writing style is addictive and full of feels. I've been eagerly anticipating Dane's story for ages now and knew it would be a heart breaking read. Dane is a fierce alpha male that will take over your heart and melt your panties. His never ending love for Nova is beautiful, strong and real. Dane also suppresses a bad dark side, one that's insanely protective of his family and if possible this made me love him even more.
Love Renewed contains dark subject matter that is a it gruesome in places, but made the story. So much so that I was routing for Dane to embrace his dark side at certain times throughout the book!
Having Pea & Con, Soph & Saul back also made it for me as I fell in love with each of them in the previous books.

Love Renewed
Dane is the last out of his family and friends to find his ‘forever’ love. He already had that ‘forever’ love and he lost her, until he find her again, albeit by accident but she comes back into her life. However there is a twist, which is that she doesn’t remember any of it. She has amnesia and she can’t remember Dane at all.
Dane naturally takes this hard but after his family and friend talk to him, he realises that he can rewrite their history and fight for her. Fight for his Nova.
Libby is intrigued by Dane, all she knows is that he knows her but her memory isn’t there. Her body remembers him. You can see the emotion in each chapter as it builds up. You invest your heart into the couple.
Dane fights for Libby but Libby fights back and it is explosive, it is steamy but it is true to their characters. I adore the book and I adore Maria. I cannot wait to get my signed copy and have this series on my shelf. It’s a bittersweet ending as I have to now say goodbye but it was worth the journey!
I knew I was going to love them regardless, they have a special place in my heart and I truly cannot believe that the series is over.
I will be re reading this series again and again!

Reviewing for Book Boyfriend Heaven
Love Renewed by Maria Macdonald was a beautiful end to this series of books. So this book is about my favorite character out of the books Dane and let me just tell you that he is one Badass alpha in case you didn’t figure it out in the other books. So you have Libby (Nova) who doesn’t remember her past and is so sweet and innocent but look out once she starts to get her memories back because then she becomes feisty and I love it. Dane and Nova together are scorching HOT together. Dane and Nova’s shared past comes back to haunt them and put their happiness in danger. You have to read this series of books of you haven’t already you are so missing out. The ending of this book is a little twist that is both happy and sad you will have to read and see what I am talking about but it just shows how much Dane and his Nova belong together.

Received an ARC for an honest review. Dane and Libby's story of second chances was a great way to end this series. And I love how you can still read about what is going on in the lives of Pea, Con, Saul, and Soph.

Complimentary copy given in exchange for an honest review for Klaire’s Kollection – 4 ½ - 5 stars
Oh Maria…or rather….Oh Dane! I love this author, having read her first I have come back for more, really wanting to watch this lady’s journey. I read this in two sittings due to my life seriously changing but when I picked it up second time around I had no problem following from where I had left off. I do think that Love Renewed is the better read of the three, it feels like it was written with more confidence than the previous books and Maria was certainly not afraid to get her teeth stuck into this story. It’s a little bit darker I think, there was a potential for more but maybe there was just enough for this story to flow. Any more and it would have perhaps felt “overdone”.
'My life can start now'.
So yeah, Dane is a dark, dark man and this is his story about how he lost and found his love of his life. Initially Libby is portrayed as a meeker character than I thought she was going to be but Maria developed this character so beautifully that you can quite easily watch her come into herself, into the woman that she once was. I really liked her, but I didn’t fall in love with her. At times I felt a little bereft from her and couldn’t quite warm to her the way that I did with Pea and Sophie. Now Dane, I’ve liked Dane from fist meeting him and I always said he would be my fav and guess what – he really is. I don’t know if it’s the darkness that he hides so well or what but there was something about him that catapulted him to the top in this series. Con, Pea, Saul and Sophie feature regularly and heavily in places but I oh so loved that they were. These are characters that I’ve come to know and enjoy reading about so very much.
The epilogue gutted me, I mean there’s emotion throughout this book in buckets full and the epilogue IS a natural progression of that story but for some reason it caught a sob in my throat, even now thinking on it I get teary and that’s not like me at all.
I think this is Maria’s best….so far. An author that needs to be read, and read Love Reflection first, you’ll see just how far Maria Macdonald has come. I really enjoy Maria’s style of writing but I found this book had that little extra. There are some high adrenalin scenes and some action packed scenes that feel frantic when reading, really gets the heart going. That’s such a good way to have your readers, pulled it off really great!
Not quite the full 5 star read for me though, I think Maria has another level in her and I think it’s coming soon. So keep reading this gorgeous lady because her work is pretty great!

I absolutely love Maria Macdonalds books. There are no questions when it comes to her ability to write a story, have characters that enthrall you time and time again, and have you eagerly awaiting for the next masterpiece to come from her amazing mind. With Love Renewed, Maria quite possibly surpassed her greatness beyond all measures. It's darker, sexier, and filled with an absolute love between Dane and Nova that is just breathtaking!
Dane has been the hero and the heart among his family in more ways than one. He made Pea come alive so she could find her way back to Con. He gave Saul the eye opening reasons to finally give his heart to Soph. And now the love of his life he once thought was gone has now resurfaced and has sealed her fate with his family. The only downside? She can't remember him, leaving our hero lost and broken. Add on the fact that his secrets are deeper and darker than any his siblings and family could ever imagine, Dane seems to not be able to catch a break.
Libby can't remember anything from before an accident years ago. So when she meets Dane after a trip to England and discovers she's the Nova of his past, she has a momentary freak out. But now that she's home, Dane is all she can think about. He's on her mind 24/7. So when she's invited to Vegas for Saul and Soph's wedding, all bets are off.
Dane and Nova embark on one of the sexiest and steamiest affairs of a lifetime, rekindling their love, and sealing their fates that they are made for forever. But after a chance argument, all hell breaks loose.
The one thing Dane tried to keep hidden from his family has shown up on his doorstep. In an action filled, emotional roller coaster of a story, Dane must fight to not only keep Nova alive, but to ward off the demons of his past once and for all. He must fight through a jealousy fueled battle to ensure that his future is safe at last.
In the final installment to the Entwined Hearts series, we finally get the conclusions we've been waiting for, our group get their happy ever after, and there's one amazing bittersweet ending that, while leaving you in tears, will make you smile knowing that the series ended in such an emotionally fulfilling place. Just make sure you have your tissues ready!

Love Renewed is another fantastic book in the series...
Love Renewed is the third book in the Entwined Heart series by Maria Macdonald and it's a series that I thoroughly enjoyed reading.
The characters in this series are just lovely and these two are no exception. Love Renewed tells the story of Dane and Nova, two lost souls who find each other eventually and the friendship blooms into more.
We met Dane in the previous book and realise very soon that Dane is struggling without his Nova. He is a shell of a man really and then he meets her again and bam, the chemistry is still there.
Libby is lost, losing all her memories in a car accident. She doesn't remember her life nor does she remember Dane. Their reconnection is sad in a way. Will Libby remember Nova, but, more importantly, will she remember her Dane?
This series is fantastic as the author explores their past and future. I loved the interactions with all the other characters from the past books in the series. This is a great read and definitely a five-star rating for me.

It can’t be over!
I LOVED this series and I am truly heartbroken that this is the last book. I think it’s the last book, I’m afraid it’s the last book… If you haven’t read the previous installments of this series you are in for such a treat. I read a lot and this series just hit me with all the emotions - heartbreaking, heart-saving, hot, sexy, twisty, funny and unforgettable are words that don’t do it justice. The stories, the characters and how they all came together blended into stories that will stay with me forever… While the series really is an ensemble cast, each story has one couple at the core and this time around it is Dane’s and Nova’s turns.
“You’re a pain in my arse, Nova.”…
“No, I’m not…I’m a f***ing delight,” I tell him and watch as his whole face lights up with warmth and recognition.”
This is not a light and fluffy read as the dark elements are everywhere. This type of dialogue, happily found throughout the story, lightens the mood and reminds me that love is always at the heart. Dane, how do I describe Dane? Tortured, driven, haunted, sexy, protective.. well, uber-protective really. With him in your corner you would never have to fear the dark again. *swoon* for real! Nova has her own demons to deal with and in some ways they are worse as the unknown can be such a relentless enemy. They have to fight memories and enemies to find their path together and it is a roller coaster of a ride.
A satisfying ending, which I never wanted to reach, with an epilogue that gutted me only slightly less than the ending of this series… I hope this author has much more in store!
My favourite “just because” quote:
“Planning a wedding is a ball ache.”

Is this really the end?!! I feel like I only just began the first book. This series is one that will stay with me forever. Dane and Nova's story is a tad more dark than the other two. I couldn't wait to see how this panned out. You couldn't help but to wonder about Dane a lot in the last book. Dane and Nova were made for eachother!! That is a fact! I loved reading their story. I didn't want it to end, but stories like this never really end do they? You get a lot of surprises in this book, a lot of questions answered. The way this band of friends becomes family and sticks together, fights together is really beautiful. They always have eachother's backs no matter what!
Nova is a lot more submissive than I originally thought, and Dane, sweet Jebus, that man is sexy!! The way he loves her is extraordinary. Without Nova there is no Dane. He loves that girl with everything he has. I'm so sad to see this series end, but I wouldn't of wanted it to e

*An e-copy of the book was graciously given by the author in exchange for an honest review*
There's a huge change of air here! Still, I effing love Maria MacDonald's plots. Dane and Nova's story really caught my interest and have been digging me in while reading the second book. Love Revisited is hotter, sexier (kinkier ;)), and deeper than the past two books. It absolutely embodies a perfect Triple A--angst, action, and affection. The characters were more matured and established. The plot is thicker and more complicated. Nonetheless, the story flowed marvelously. Hard to put down and continuously interesting!
"Your nails, dig them in harder. I want to feel you everywhere. I need to know you're alive, you're mine, that you'll never leave me. I'll fucking bleed for you. Make me yours, Nova. Make your mark on the outside like you always have on the inside."

Absolutely LOVE this series. WOW!! I'm sad it's over but as usual Maria wrote another 5 star read. I'm gonna miss these characters so much. I love DANE!! That epilogue has me bawling like a baby. I wasn't expecting it. I highly recommend this series to everyone. It has everything. Incredible characters, suspense, HOT sex scenes and inseparable bonds between all the friends and family.

Saving the best until last; book three was full of action, passion, romance, angst and, well, Dane! The author's progression from book one to book three is abundantly clear, as this is her finest work to date. It was gripping, heart wrenching, funny and swoon-worthy. The plot was intricate, but not too repetitive, and the characters were strong and direct. My favourite by far :)

Wow..what a finale
I read the epilogue of Love Resisted and thought 'oh no, don't make me hate Dane'! Well nothing could be further from the truth as I reconnected with Dane and his new family as he fought to get the light of his life back..his Nova. Plenty of angst and a dark storyline, unlike the first two books of the trilogy, taking us deep into Dane's underground world and the risks this was to bring to his family. But ever the resounding Alpha male he is he would not let this happen without going down with a fight. Taken to the edge of despair with breathtaking drama this story is one that will keep you on the edge of your seat. A fantastic read yet again from Ms Macdonald !

sebenernya ceritanya bagus, baca karna tertarik sinopsisnya ternyata pas baca banyak banget yg miss.
jadi klo mo baca buku ini mending baca dulu 2 buku sebelumnya. walopun standalone tapi nyambung banget.
