Blood Bond Saga #13-15
Undefeated
"A vampire, his human lover, and their friends and families try to stop a powerful enemy’s devilish scheme in this final installment of an erotic supernatural series." ~Kirkus Reviews
Dante struggles to regain his control, even as he grows stronger and the darkness rises within him. He’ll let his captor think she commands him as long as it serves his purpose, but if Erin or anyone else is threatened, all bets are off. He’ll use all his powers against her, whether or not he can master them. Time is running out, however. Dante must act quickly to free those imprisoned, especially when he learns what his captor has in mind. His new abilities keep those around him protected until she who calls herself Queen plays her trump card. Dante must face one last foe…and only one can emerge undefeated.

Dante has made his way back to his own version of hell. We now know exactly who the Queen is (and yes, I was right), but are still unclear of what she's really up to. With everyone underground in her world, answers start flooding in and her ambitions are incredible. Her plans are a bit radical and a lot insane and this volume was all about taking her down and saving everyone she's been holding captive. The darkness that continues to haunt Dante becomes more of an integral part of this story and I loved the many descriptors that were used for its presence. I swear, the author is constantly making Dante hotter, making it hard for me to let go.
So there's Dante, Erin, River, Jay, and Dante's ghost dad, all searching for their loved ones, encountering old acquaintances, and finding out why the Gabriels were targeted. While dealing with the repercussions of their presence in an unauthorized area, Erin and Dante still found time to have sex and strengthen their bond. There's no doubt that these two are very much in love. Parts of the story became repetitive and made it drag a bit, but I was still as thoroughly entertained as I expected to be.
I think coming up with a stunning ending for a saga is hard for both the author and the reader. As much as I was clamoring for the conclusion to the Blood Bond Saga, I didn't really want to say goodbye to Dante. Thankfully the author left a huge hint that the story isn't really over.

I was so looking foreword to reading this. I lover the whole series except this last volume. This book could have left out half the content. I felt I just kept re-reading parts of it. The author also kept reiterating the same dynamics over and over🙄. I couldn’t wait to just be done with it.

Coup de Grace...
Blood Bond #13
Return to Hell....
I have been in withdrawal waiting for the next story in this amazing series. It was definitely worth the wait. Dante and Erin seek out the Queen's Chamber of Horrors to try and free their loved ones that are imprisoned. Dante is discovering how powerful his strength can be. He has to be careful not to return to the dark side, but it takes all his power and fortitude he has to fight the forces trying to take over his body. The one person who keeps him grounded is Erin. He needs her by his side. The trust and belief she holds for him gives him the strength he needs to conquer the Queen and her evil plans.
We get some explanations to questions, but there are still many more that need to be answered.
Blood Bond #14
Running out of time...
Anticipation is building and my blood pressure is hitting the dangerous zone. Helen Hardt is deliciously taunting her readers to an imminent crescendo. The clock is ticking towards Dante and Emma's stand off with the Queen.
Everything is coming to a head and I cannot wait to see what happens next.
Blood Bond #15
Ties of Blood....
Seeing someone's light who knows nothing but darkness, that is true love. That is what Erin feels for Dante. In the beginning Dante was struggling with the horrors he experienced at the hands of The Queen. When he met Erin she believed in him, the good in him. It gave him hope and the belief that he could conquer The Queen with her by his side. Dante's father along with Jay, Erin and River kept telling him over and over "Keep the Faith". These are the words that swirled around in his head as he faced The Queen to defeat her.
We get many questions answered, but I feel this story has more to reveal. There were many OMG moments in this last story of the series, but that is what this reader lives for in a book. This was an intense, stimulating series that had you craving for more. Helen Hardt never disappoints and she proved just that yet again with this series. What a wonderful series, so sorry it ended.

“To those who challenge what they perceive”
This was the dedication I read at the very beginning of the last instalment of the Blood Bond saga.
Nothing is what it seemed in this saga and I will miss Dante, Erin, River, Lucy, Jay, Bea, Abe ... all of the characters Helen created for this paranormal series.
I truly loved every page.
Helen has a way of creating a series while twisting and turning the story in such a manner, that you can’t predict how things will culminate at the end.
I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy this style of romance, paranormal isn’t a genre I tend to go for. But I’m glad I gave it a chance and I hope you will too.
We gain a lot of long awaited answers in this final instalment, however I feel it has been left open-ended so a continuation isn’t completely ruled out.
This series is hot, tense and utterly satisfying to devour. I look forward to reading more books by this talented author.

More of the same. Repeatedly. Dante angry. Erin consoling. And then some really silly things - like walking into the dangerous lair and lurking about...and then so desperate to have sex with your blood bonded woman you fuck without heed to either foreplay or danger. And yes we got some of the answers we’ve been waiting for - the whole series. But still not enough to save this for me.
And here’s the kicker - I didn’t mind the storyline so much, but to be honest, Dante and Erin just annoyed me. His darkness and rage and (then later) arrogance, and her submission and compliance.. even the sex scenes weren’t enough to save it for me..in fact the way Dante just “took” Erin most of the time, with such desperation, with no lead up or foreplay,....was actually a real turn off for me. I guess the control thing just isn’t my cup of tea.

I don't even know what to say, I am speechless. I am in complete shock and awe of this author.
This saga was phenomenal, unforgettable and unique! Truly a masterpiece and some of Helen’s best work. With that said, I absolutely love everything she’s written and this is being added to that forever growing pile!
I don't think I can find the right words to actually justify just how amazing this book was and bittersweet. This author is known for her hot, steamy, heart wrenching and all-consuming, kindle melting plots, she does not shy away from much and this saga of books is no exception.
Last year it was announced that Ms. Hardt was venturing into PNR and to be honest, I wasn't sure about it. I was a little taken back when I heard she was doing this saga, but man was I pleasantly surprised. Not only did she deliver a flawless plot throughout the books, but she bought my love of PNR back in full force. I started to stray away from this sub-genre, kind of bored of it.. Until I had the pleasure of meeting Dante and Erin. The author weaved her words together and created a plot that was full of suspense, thrill, all-consuming passion, and a whole lot of heat... I mean SO MUCH HEAT but even with the amount of erotic and hot as hell scenes there were, she also managed to twirl in a back story with so many plot twists that had me on the edge of my seat, had my brain on overdrive, and had my heart shattering into a million pieces over and over, only to be pieced back together bit by bit just like only Helen can do.
In the 5th book to this saga, Undefeated - we see Erin go and follow Dante into the underground compound where he was held captive for over 10 years. She comes face to face with the woman that is to blame for it all. Finally, the mask slips and the truth becomes so much more real. This woman holds power over Dante but Erin knows in her heart that he is stronger than this, that he can fight her control but Dante is struggling even though he starts to grow, and we start to see his strength being restored and he starts to overcome the darkness that's consumed him, but things just continue to get even crazier when a secret is bought to the surface, and Dante chooses to make the woman who is responsible for all his torment and pain over the years believe that he is still under her control, but is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the one he loves most safe and anyone else in the line of danger for that matter. But will he be able to? or is he fighting a losing battle? The clock is ticking and he needs to fight this with every power he has, even if he is still struggling with them and just when I thought this book had reached its conclusion the author goes and throws in a twist, which I should have known would happen. It's what she good at and it's what I love most about her books.
So as we hit the end of what was and will forever be an incredible saga, I feel complete, yet... I don't at the same time. So much happened, so much drama, passion, pain, suspense, and thrill.. all in one hit that it had my head spinning and my heart pounding and I couldn't help but devour this in a day! I feel as though the author may have left it the way she did, for a reason... what the reason is, I am not sure but I'll be excited to see if that is the case.
I feel as though we've done a loop. This is where it all began for Dante, only things are different now. He's strong, he's powerful, he believes in himself and he has hope, and that is all thanks to Erin, the woman who stood by him throughout it all. The good, the bad, and the really ugly... She never stopped believing in him, she never gave up on him and she pushed him to believe in himself in which gave him hope for a better future after all he had been through. She was his rock, but I think also that he was hers too. Together they were unstoppable, a whirlwind love story that I will truly never forget. This is what keeps me coming back to Ms. Hardt's book. She writes a tortured hero, with a dark past, that you truly believe cannot overcome it all, but she makes it happen, she builds a storyline up just perfectly and honestly makes me believe you can overcome just about anything in life if you fight hard enough. She has the ability to suck you right in and keep hold of you through a series of books and she did just that with Dante and Erin's love story. I fell in love with each and every character... Yes even the damn Queen in a weird way, because without her and with Dante, Erin and their friends and enemies, this story would not have been what it is.
This saga consumed me from the very beginning. I cried I laughed, I literally screamed in public and made everyone stop and look at me (a couple of times I may add) and I craved more and more as it progressed. I can not fault it,... No no, that is a lie... I can, the only thing I can truly say would be the fact that I WANT MORE and I am devastated to say goodbye to this incredible world Ms. Hardt has created and made me fall in love with.
Bravo, Helen.. Once again you blow my mind and exceed all my expectations. You truly are a master at your craft and have restored my love for PNR.
5 amazing stars!

The suspense hypes up in this book as we go back in the bowels of hell where Dante tries to out smart the evil one who calls herself queen and keep everyone alive and offering freedom to others.
Blood Bond: 13, 14 and 15 are great reads.

Simply amazing, this series has it as all. Vampires, wolf shifters, voodoo medium and ghosts and a darkness that threatens to overtake Dante. Helen Hardt consumes you with her storyline. The characters and enough drama to keep you captivated.
Erin again refuses to leave Dante's side and follows him into the underground compound that is where they believe it all started and where all the secrets and answers are. Dante's darkness strengthens although so does the blood bond between Erin and Dante's journey together. Highly recommended read.

Dante and Erin are couple goals 😍
Their love is soooo NSYNC and they know what the other needs without having to even say it!
If you haven’t read The Blood Bond Saga, you NEED too!

Blood Bond: Undefeated
WOW - this book is action packed!! Dante is a vampire, Erin is human - together they have a Blood Bond that cannot be broken! When Erin follows Dante back into hell - the underground compound where he was held captive - she finds that the danger has only increased. The Queen is there and she is someone Erin knows!! Finally unmasked, she seems to hold Dante under her influence. Erin has faith in Dante’s strength and determination, though, especially when the mysterious Vampyre Texts reveal their first secret.
Dante struggles to regain his control, even as he grows stronger and the darkness rises within him. He’ll let his captor think she commands him as long as it serves his purpose, but if she threatens Erin, he will kill to protect her!! They are bonded by blood!!
Time is running out, however. Dante must act quickly to free those imprisoned, and bring down the woman who calls herself Queen.
Oh my gosh, there needs to be more!! This can’t be the end!! This book was so exciting, sexy and packed crazy full of revelations you won’t want to stop reading it!! I loved it!! Definitely a 5-star read!! But I need more - more of this book, more of the action, more of the romance!

Disappointment that's the word. I've loved every one of the others and keep reading just waiting for the answers.I've read the saga in 4 days just to be left out with open end!??And now they they cancel the new one, tho reading the script is was about to be more about river and Lucy than dante and Erin so not that mad about it.
Also the place was so dangerous dante had to go alone but they had time for sex every 2 minutes? The evil villain acting like a tour guide and then a pseudo battle with dante, gets unconscious then she disappear .....repeat. I don't know...maybe with a different end, maybe she was not countin on the cancellation but still I feel like I waste my time, after 14 really good books I expected more...

I don't think I can find the right words to actually justify just how amazing this book was and bittersweet. This author is known for her hot, steamy, heart wrenching and all-consuming, kindle melting plots, she does not shy away from much and this saga of books is no exception.
Last year it was announced that Ms. Hardt was venturing into PNR and to be honest, I wasn't sure about it. I was a little taken back when I heard she was doing this saga, but man was I pleasantly surprised. Not only did she deliver a flawless plot throughout the books, but she bought my love of PNR back in full force. I started to stray away from this sub-genre, kind of bored of it.. Until I had the pleasure of meeting Dante and Erin. The author weaved her words together and created a plot that was full of suspense, thrill, all-consuming passion, and a whole lot of heat... I mean SO MUCH HEAT but even with the amount of erotic and hot as hell scenes there were, she also managed to twirl in a back story with so many plot twists that had me on the edge of my seat, had my brain on overdrive, and had my heart shattering into a million pieces over and over, only to be pieced back together bit by bit just like only Helen can do.
In the 5th book to this saga, Undefeated - we see Erin go and follow Dante into the underground compound where he was held captive for over 10 years. She comes face to face with the woman that is to blame for it all. Finally, the mask slips and the truth becomes so much more real. This woman holds power over Dante but Erin knows in her heart that he is stronger than this, that he can fight her control but Dante is struggling even though he starts to grow, and we start to see his strength being restored and he starts to overcome the darkness that's consumed him, but things just continue to get even crazier when a secret is bought to the surface, and Dante chooses to make the woman who is responsible for all his torment and pain over the years believe that he is still under her control, but is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the one he loves most safe and anyone else in the line of danger for that matter. But will he be able to? or is he fighting a losing battle? The clock is ticking and he needs to fight this with every power he has, even if he is still struggling with them and just when I thought this book had reached its conclusion the author goes and throws in a twist, which I should have known would happen. It's what she good at and it's what I love most about her books.
So as we hit the end of what was and will forever be an incredible saga, I feel complete, yet... I don't at the same time. So much happened, so much drama, passion, pain, suspense, and thrill.. all in one hit that it had my head spinning and my heart pounding and I couldn't help but devour this in a day! I feel as though the author may have left it the way she did, for a reason... what the reason is, I am not sure but I'll be excited to see if that is the case.
I feel as though we've done a loop. This is where it all began for Dante, only things are different now. He's strong, he's powerful, he believes in himself and he has hope, and that is all thanks to Erin, the woman who stood by him throughout it all. The good, the bad, and the really ugly... She never stopped believing in him, she never gave up on him and she pushed him to believe in himself in which gave him hope for a better future after all he had been through. She was his rock, but I think also that he was hers too. Together they were unstoppable, a whirlwind love story that I will truly never forget. This is what keeps me coming back to Ms. Hardt's book. She writes a tortured hero, with a dark past, that you truly believe cannot overcome it all, but she makes it happen, she builds a storyline up just perfectly and honestly makes me believe you can overcome just about anything in life if you fight hard enough. She has the ability to suck you right in and keep hold of you through a series of books and she did just that with Dante and Erin's love story. I fell in love with each and every character... Yes even the damn Queen in a weird way, because without her and with Dante, Erin and their friends and enemies, this story would not have been what it is.
This saga consumed me from the very beginning. I cried I laughed, I literally screamed in public and made everyone stop and look at me (a couple of times I may add) and I craved more and more as it progressed. I can not fault it,... No no, that is a lie... I can, the only thing I can truly say would be the fact that I WANT MORE and I am devastated to say goodbye to this incredible world Ms. Hardt has created and made me fall in love with.
Bravo, Helen.. Once again you blow my mind and exceed all my expectations. You truly are a master at your craft and have restored my love for PNR.
5 amazing stars!

4.5 stars- I wish there was more! Great way to end it!
So many of my guesses came true! I was still surprised by a few things.
Dante and Erin go underground and uncover who the queen is. I had a feeling about who it was- the previous books kept hinting to it and then it was revealed. Not only that, but things like Erin’s mysterious bite wounds from before were finally cleared up (it hadn’t been mentioned for a while). They also find the missing women and missing loved one. More is revealed about Dante’s powers and his darkness. We continue seeing all the previous characters and more revelations come out.
When the ending came, I didn’t want it to be over. The way that it ended was 🤯. It was so fitting considering that so many myths were expelled, yet this one myth is what helped it all be over. The way it ended kind of left it open to another volume. Dante and River were ready to continue investigating some of their questions about things that happened. But, alas, apparently, the author canceled the next book 😏. Gah. I wish it had been written.
In terms of the connection between Erin and Dante. It was 🔥🥵as ever. Their bond only got stronger. Their love making was animalistic, raw, primal, sweet, passionate and just plain hot. I wish we had gotten a satisfying epilogue to their story 😏.
Overall, highly recommended

Before you go any further-this is definitely not a stand-alone. This paranormal romance story has interested me from the very beginning, and this authors ability to draw us into an intricate web of an action packed plot, is worthy of so much more than five stars.
This book showed the absolute versatility of this author-she was able to write a paranormal story that was just so utterly unputdownable. I fell in love with each character-though it did seem helpful for me to write each one down to keep everyone straight. Dante and Erin were such an amazing couple throughout this series-and we really saw all of the strengths Dante possessed when him and Erin were able to grow and survive everything that they went through. This is definitely one of the best paranormal romance releases this year! - By Victoria

Undefeated by Helen Hardt is Parts 13-15 in the Blood Bond Saga. This continues the story of Erin Hamilton and Dante Gabriel, so you should read the previous books first before starting this one.
Dante has gone to the underground to confront the women that held him hostage but of course Erin, Jay and River are following him too. Dante powers are getting stronger due to his bond to Erin. But this book takes them to testing everything that they have build up to.
This whole series has been a page turner keeping you on the edge of your seat and wanting more from them. I am a fan of Ms. Hardt's writing and this series sure proves why I am a fan.
Loved it.

Helen Hardt has done it yet again. She never ceases to amaze. I am so happy she decided to take the dive into PNR.
This book was 100% worth the wait. You will be on the edge of your seat the entire time.
Some bonds are never broken. Dante continues to grow and flourish in his new powers. He will fight until the end for what he wants. Erin is also a force to be reckoned with. She will get what belongs to her at all costs. Dante and Erin were such an amazing force and never gave up. Undefeated will take you on the ride of a lifetime. You will not be able to put this book down.
The chemistry between these 2 is undeniable.
This is a MUST READ! *** This is a SAGA and should be read in order ***

I was lucky enough to receive this as an arc, thank you Helen Hardt. Where do I start, the book was phenomenal as usual. Helen has a way of drawing you into her story right from the start. I thought that most questions were answered, but I feel I was still left with a lot more, I hope that means I should be expecting more fantastic writing from Helen. I absolutely love Erin and Dante’s story and would love to have more of it. So thank you again and can’t wait to see what was in store next, you are quite gifted😊

LOVE CONQUERS ALL!!! So many things happened that I really can't explain without giving away spoilers. But just know that Erin and Dantes story was deeply moving. Happy endings for most with a little heartbreak thrown in. There is still so many answers that just are still lingering and hope that we get those answers.

Freaking amazing! Erin and Dante's story was unbelievable! I definitely wasn't expecting how it ended and I'm definitely wanting more.
I never thought I would enjoy reading a vampire love story but Helen did a fantastic job of pulling me in and always wanting more. I don't do spoilers. I hate ruining books for others. I just know if Helen can change my view then be prepared to have your mind blown away.
Go start this series if you haven't already!!

Such an amazing story. From the first time I read Erin and Dante's story of tragedy and love that conquered all.
Erin, Jay, and River followed Dante down into the pits of hell, they find the "queen" the missing women, River's dad and a few others. Dante has to confront the queen and put an end to everything. In the end everything turns out good. Dante is finally free of his past and can have the life with Erin.
Helen Hardt is an amazing author and has a way of pulling you into the story itself. It makes you feel like you are right there beside everyone and all of the action.

Undefeated is the fifth book in the Blood Bond saga and contains parts 13-15. I love Dante and Erin. The Blood Bond saga is romantic and very compelling! This series is addictive!! I LOVE Helen Hardt's writing style!! I need another book (I saw a next book on Amazon, Untamed from River and Lucy's pov so let's hope it's true!!!!)

Just perfection on every page!!
So many questions, so many answers and yet not that many, absolutely fell more in love with this series, this book was filled with so much stuff, one page after the other was amazing.
I seriously screamed at the end, I just have a feeling and we definitely need more of Dante and Erin, I just can’t believe this was the end.

I enjoyed this book, as I did the parts that came before it. Take out all the “lovemaking” and it’s still an amazing story that I would read! I kinda was like where can it go from here at the end of the underground part where Dante takes care of “her”. But then read the last line of the book and I was like Ooohhh! This gonna get even better!

Crappy Epilogue
After 15 installments it ends with a whimper not a bang and a crappy epilogue. Author seemed tired of her own redundant as hell series. Save your time and money and run!! Don’t make my mistake and finish it.

I’ve waited so long to finally get my hand on the last book. I’m proud of Dante for coming out of the darkness and killing the evil bitch. But why tf was the last book canceled. How are you gonna leave us with the cliffhanger that they are going after the council and we have no idea what happened 🙄
May 4, 2019
Wow, all I can say is wow! I feel like there is an opening for another book tho. Once again u leave me with that aaaaahhhh feeling Helen Hardt! Excellent writing!!

Bowing down to a queen? Dr. Bonneville, is really an evil sadistic narcissistic vampire wannabe queen.
You've got to fight for what you want... Dante, fights his battles, and Erin fights to get what belongs to her, back. Once bonded, never broken.
Dante continues to learn of his new powers. How strong they are. How to control everything inside him.
With the protection of Dante's fathers ashes, River, Braedon and Logan Crown, locate and return to safety, all the hospital staff. But Erin isn't going anywhere. Again... Once bonded, never broken.
I can't give anymore details, without giving away too many spoilers. I don't want to ruin it for you. Trust me, you want to read this series.
I've read everything that, Ms. Hardt has written, and have loved them all. But the paranormal genre was a step I was afraid to take. But, because it was by my favorite author, I took that step. And here I am, at the end of a phenomenal series. Thank you for bringing me out of my shell.
Unchained, Unhinged, Undaunted, Unmasked and Undefeated...this is the order in which you need to read The Blood Bond Saga. You won't be sorry.
I cannot give anything less than the highest of 5 stars for this series. But it deserves so much more.

This book is everything... Erin, Dante and the Queen. It captivated me from beginning to end since I needed to know what happens. Undefeated will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
