“I am tired of fighting this… are you not tired too? We were made for each other. I honestly feel that… two halves of one soul… two hearts that were always meant to be together… that were created to complete each other.”
After escaping her captivity, Taryn tries again to right the wrong she failed at seven centuries ago when her brother stole Prince Loren’s powerful sword. She needs to stop her brother, who has been corrupted by power, and killing everyone in his path. He will stop at nothing to become the King of Hell. But will Taryn be strong enough to kill her twin with the very blade he seeks to possess? And will she be able to evade the elf who has hunted her for these seven centuries? The elf who is her fated mate.
Bleu is the commander of the dark elf legions, and the second-hand of Prince Loren. He is loyal and devoted to his kingdom, even giving up on the one thing he has always wanted. His fated mate, the one he can call his own. And when sets sights again on the elusive dragon he has been hunting for centuries, he gladly continues his pursuit of her. But this time he will finally have to admit the truth he has known for a very long time – his enemy is his fated mate. The one he has always dreamed of, but can never have. Perhaps fate will not be so cruel, and his enemy might just always have been his ally.
I have been looking forward to Bleu’s book since the first book. I just love this sexy elf, and I’ve been hoping that he would finally find his HEA. I felt so sad at seeing his pain when witnessing everyone around him finding their mates, finding love. And knowing, despite his best efforts at hiding his feelings, how deeply it hurt him to be alone, and unable to find his love. I was quite surprised to find out that he has known all along who his mate was, but understood that because he thought she was his enemy, he couldn’t pursue her in that way. And he buried the knowledge so deep, that over the centuries he actually forgot what she was to him. But in this book he could no longer deny it, and I really enjoyed watching him fall for his little dragon.
Taryn has been a slave for the last three centuries. Being sold from owner to owner as they tried to break her. And because of this she has a darkness inside, one that makes her lose control over herself and her reactions to others near her. I felt so bad for seeing how broken she was, but despite all of this she still tried to do the right thing, by putting a stop to the madness of her brother.
The romance was very hot, just as I’ve come to expect from this author. And I really liked Bleu and Taryn as a couple. Both were so possessive over each other, and watching them lose control around each other was a lot of fun. My only problem was the fact that Taryn was still a virgin after all these centuries, while obviously Bleu was no monk. I can understand why Bleu didn’t pursue Taryn once he knew what she was to him because he thought she was his enemy, but I just does not make sense that in all the centuries before her captivity, Taryn never had sex with anyone. This is a trope that I’m really getting tired of having in a romance book.
The plot was interesting and the fighting scenes well written as always. I felt really sorry for Taryn that her brother was evil. I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it must be knowing that your sibling must die for the greater good.
There were a few secondary characters that I found very interesting. Once again more was revealed about Fuery, who is slowly losing himself to the darkness. I really hope that we will get his book soon, and that he can be saved. Then there was Dacian one of Bleu’s warriors, who seemed to be in love with his fellow warrior Fynn’s sister. I can’t wait to see what is going to happen between them.
This book was a good addition to a great PNR series.
