Carnelian

by Serenity Snow

Jeri’s death left a hole in Bali’s heart, and she’s eager for vengeance. However, there is no clear-cut target until a face from the past shines a light into the dark. It’s not just the murky waters of the past that Carnelian lights, it’s the corners of Bali’s heart. In Bali’s mind, Carnelian may be too young for her still, but her heart is a raging fire that demands satisfaction that Carnelian is all too willing to give. But will the price be higher than Bali is willing to pay?

[The TBR Pile *Book review site* · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an exciting action story weaved with a romantic love story between Carne and Bali. I couldn’t guess the ending—which is great—and without giving the plot away, the final grandstand battle is awesome. I enjoyed it. The fast pace, vivid characters, and spicy sex scenes—sold me. You’ll enjoy this one.

this was the best of the best in the series…

I thought the story of Ryle and Zhara had me on edge and in love with them. This one topped it. I loved the swagger and confidence of Carnelian. I loved the vulnerability of the tough “stud” Bali. Carnelian wasted no time going after the woman she loved that whole time. And Bali could do nothing to resist her.

They both found out how much each of them was drawn to the other over 10 years ago. Age plays a huge factor in women’s lives more than it does men. Men don’t hesitate, women always do. It’s funny how neither of them ever loved anyone else in all that time. And how as soon as they heard each others voice, it was instant. Two mates that didn’t fully know they had been truly mated a decade ago. The heart knows what the heart knows. And the heart wants what it wants.

The ending could have been better. There could have been a little more conversation about the things that were unspoken and how the time away affected them. But it is what it is. They will be very memorable to me.

Now I have to go back reread the story about Fallina and Kensal. Kensal coldness and complete abandon when it comes to her mate is something to read their beginnings again. I’m not necessarily into butch/stud women, but I do love the strong alpha appeal. I just never felt it with Jeri. She seems cowardice. And that got her killed in the end. Kensal, Ryle, and even Carnelian knows you have to do what others fail to do.
