How do you convince someone that has been betrayed since the day they were born that you are being true. I can feel the pain that betrays Esmeralda's courage, the pain that is like a shield holding her in limbo from living a full and joyful life. The scars on her body are nothing like the scars that bleed deep in her soul. How can I protect and care for her if she doesn't open herself to the fact that I would give my very life to keep her safe. I wont rest until she feels the joy that she deserves, the joy of being loved and loving others.
ESMERALDA
He might have found me, might even make me feel like I have never felt before, but sooner or later the pain and betrayal will once again rear its head. He swears to protect me, to care for me, but who will protect him from me? Who will protect him from the evil that always follows me?
Alexi Ferreira, loves the idea of alpha men who take charge are possessive and care for their woman. She creates books that take you on an emotional journey whether tears, laughter or just steamy hotness. She loves to connect with readers and interacting with them through social media or even old fashioned email.
Esmeralda is not only running from the Desperados, where she had been tortured and abused, but it seems the Elemental MC are looking for her too. Dag is looking for his mate whom he recognised from a photo, though she doesn't know it yet, but so are the Desperados, he hopes to find her first so he can protect her and as Esmeralda undoubtedly has trust issues hope's she will let him.
This is the gist of the story but obviously not all, there is a lot of action and I loved every page.
Dag and Esmeralda story will always be one of my favorites. I really loved her abilities; it was something so different from what the other women experience, and I think it helped her make her connection to Dag when she was on the run. I have been curious about her since the last book, leaving off with Dag finding out that she was his mate and Esmeralda on the run from both the Desperados and Elementals. Dag never giving up in finding her really helped show her his loyalty to a someone he knew nothing about and made her more curious as to why his energy called to her. I have been dying to read this book, dying to know what happened between the two of them. That cliffhanger on the last book almost broke me! Found out so much information that I was still trying to piece everything together before diving into his amazing book. When Dag finally found her, it couldn’t have come at a better time, I was so worried for her. I hated how it took her so long to accept that Dag wasn’t going to leave her and that no one was going to hate her for what she had to do while she was being held captive by the Desperados. I hate that she ran again too, I was fearful for her while she was trying to run but there was Dag again to save her. I’m glad that Esmeralda was able to start healing and that Dag was so dedicated to helping her move forward from everything. When she started to realize that the Elementals are nothing like the Desperados is when she truly started to heal from her abuse. Her willingness to help the men find the other women and piece together more of the puzzle was amazing, I’m so glad that she stopped being fearful about her past and started to move on from that. Truly another great read for the Elementals CT MC, can’t wait to get my hands on the next one. I know it’s going to be just as good!
I have been following the Elemental MC since Wulf! This book is as enjoyable as all the rest. I wanted to see more of a connection in the character of Esmerelda. Dag was smitten and alpha as all of the rest. I am looking forward to Tor finding his mate…eventually. I especially love the intrigue story line that has spanned across both series.
If you are looking for extremely enjoyable relatively quick reads, any Alexei Ferrara story will fit the bill. This has become one of my favorite authors.
I was very pleased to start reading this book! I’m not usually interested in paranormal romance without a human lead, but this one is really good. Esmeralda and Dag’s love is simply amazing. He loves her so much and I’m glad she was able to overcome her past to love him back, completely!
This book was given to me as a giveaway prize but this review is my own.
Is a nember of the Cape Town MC and his element is earth. But his mate is being chased by a gang that held her prisoner to use her talents. Great addition to the series.
I loved everything about this book it brings true meaning to the fact that love is never easy and isn't a walk in the park I am hooked on the characters in this book I am looking forward to finding out what happens next
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Dag is the 3rd book the the Elemental's CT MC. Like all of this authors stories in this series, it grabbed you from the first page and refused to let go. Esmeralda has been physically and mentally abused and does not trust anyone. The way Dag and the Other Elementals treated her won her over and it was so sweet to see her blossom with them. I have read all of Alexi's books and you cannot go wrong with any you choose. The Original Elementals series was so good and this spin off series is proving to be just as good! Pick up this book and fall in love with the characters that this author has brought to life.
OMG... Hot and downright dirty. Love it. Esmeralda is a perfect mate for Dag. Very short story, and it lived up to every imaginable fantasy I love reading about. Such a sweet story.
Esmeralda was a gifted lady but has only known pain and suffering in her life. Dag knew the minute he saw her picture she was his mate. Esmeralda has been running from her captors surviving day to day . Dag has been serching for her. When she is close to getting caught Dag saves her. but... she cannot trust anyone she has only known pain ,never had friends and spent so much time alone . Can she learn to trust him? Will he still want her after he realises she is scarred for life? Can they ever be together ? This is the third book in this chapter of elementals and so far brilliant looking forward to next book ..thank you Alexi.

Wow and Wow!!! I was waiting for this one and once again was blown away. I love Dag and Esmeralda, they are now one of my favorite Elemental couples and frankly all these couples are favorites but their love story just had a bit more angst which is what made it so perfect. Wulf (book 1 from the Nature Valley Elementals Chapter) will always be my favorite hero and I think I just found my favorite heroine in Esmeralda although Nova (Ceric Book 4 Elementals MC) is still a up there...lol. As with all of Ms. Ferreira novels, its not one you will be able to put down until the last page. If you have read her books you know what I mean, if you have not, then its about time you did, just pick any novel of hers, you can't go wrong. Her novels are jam packed with Romance and Adventure and a real sense of family in the MC's brotherhood. Not to mention a Hot AF Alpha and Bad Ass Heroines, who are the only ones that can "tame" their Alpha. Her books are the ones that you just wish you could be part of. They also provide a sweet escape from all that is going on currently in our world. As always...Thanks again Ms. Ferreira for another wonderful read...looking forward to your next book.
Dag finds his Mate , Esmeralda . She has been through a lot , held prisoner by Sean . Dag is determined to save her . Will he get to her in time ?
Dag is very protective of his Mate . Love how all the Elementals are very protective and loving with their mate . Enjoy reading more about Cape Town .the others . Love how Alexi brings in Previous Elementals . Nice to know how others were doing. If ya love Paranormal and Mc romance this series for you . One click story
Another enjoyable read from the amazing Alexi Ferreira. Esmeralda has finally stopped running to give whatever is happening between her and Dag a chance. While they're doing that they're also fighting the bad guys, they're never far from each other's thoughts, going after the Elemental’s woman is a death sentence which they're happy to administrator, great job author Alexi Ferreira🖤💛🖤
An amazing read and a fantastic addition to the series. Dag and Esmeralda are quite the pair. They go through a lot to get to their ending but for them anything is possible as long as they're together. The twists and turns, ups and downs add to this story in such a way that you'll be pulled in and hooked from the beginning.
Every mate they find brings more and more power to the Elementals. I bet Dag will start honing his skills more, now he realizes what Esmeralda can do. She is much more so important given what her powers are and what she can detect. Lets see who is next and who else they face.
At this point I'm really reading this for the underlying ot if the mc.i love my romance but I can only take so much mushy protective I love yous before its annoying lol
