This is the sixth book in this series. It is well written, dramatic, exciting, action-packed, steamy and offers some very big twists in the overall story line that is unfolding across this series. Normally I would recommend that you start at the beginning and read through from book one, Seduced by the Sea Lord. However, I felt this book offered a bit of distance from the rest of the books and if you chose to, you could just go ahead and read this one, even with the continuing story elements. Keep in mind that you will miss out on meeting some wonderful characters, swoon worthy romances and a full understanding of the "bigger picture" if you do.
Now, I am going to be brutally honest. As will happen when you are an avid reader of a series, you can grow attached to characters. When this happens you have your own ideas and yes, even dreams and wishes for your favorites. This book finally gave readers Faier's much longed for shot at love and a HEA. Unfortunately, my expectations and wants for this character and what the author wrote were very, very different. I will state again this is my opinion and it is based solely on my feelings, NOT this authors work because as usual she crafted a high quality read.
Faier is such a wonderful character. Strong, honorable, quiet and dependable. A hero that has deep scars on both the outside and inside but also has a beautiful soul. Feeling unworthy and unlovable, he earned a special place in my heart and I wanted him to get a bride that was worthy of such a hero. Male character or not, I wanted him to get the fairytale. That soulmate that was going to look at him and see through the scars to his heart and know from first glance just how lucky they got in the love department. Instead, he got Harmony. Now I know that there will be readers that enjoyed this character. I did not. Simply put.. I. Hated. Her. I felt that she was cruel and a user. She spent the greatest portion of this book going back and forth between finding ways to hurt Faier and then finding ways to use him. All while, being oh, so oblivious to it all because she's the only one who matters. What she needs, what she wants, her fears, how unfair her life has been. Self- centered much? I know that her backstory was probably supposed to make you sympathize with her, but I couldn't and I didn't. The first time she screamed "Monster", she ripped my heart out of my chest, broke Faier's and really there was no going back. Considering who her ex was I thought she was a total hypocrite. I do look forward to more books in this series because you will never love each book you read, but my heart is a bit broken and I can't say I am not disappointed. Faier deserved so, so much better. This is my freely posted, frank review.
