⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes. The Skye Druids and their allies form even tighter bonds while they are being threatened from multiple known and unknown enemies.

For Willa Ryan, family is everything. So, when her brother asks her to locate a book of unparalleled power, she doesn’t hesitate. Except she does more than find it. She attempts to steal it, and in the process, ends up running for her life, straight into the arms of a man waiting to rescue her. Jasper is unlike anyone she’s ever met, and she’s helpless to resist the undeniable passion between them. But desire always comes at a cost. Jasper McCabe is a master of disguise and deception, and he uses both ruthlessly. Yet nothing can prepare him when he comes face-to-face with the breathtaking women he’s supposed to use for his ruse. Every instinct screams for him to run as far from Willa as he can. But there’s no escape from the captivating Druid and the feelings she awakens. With his darkest enemies closing in, Jasper is forced to choose with his heart, or lose the woman who is his one chance at salvation.

MY THOUGHTS

I really liked Jasper. He completely owned his unsavory past and did all he could to make it up to Willa and the rest. I was not always so fond of Willa and her impetuous nature. She was very quick to share everything with Jasper, though I’d have thought she’d be more wary of strangers, especially an unknown Druid. And when his secrets came to light, she was understandably hurt, but her reactions were definitely ruled by her emotions.

The action and magical battles were thrilling with a lot of separate threads coming together, but also creating more tension and questions. The best part was how Skye and the Druids there kept luring all of George’s best people away from her delusional clutches.

It is exciting to have so many of the amazing heroes in this world working together, but their slow progress can be very frustrating at times. Balladyn is the best, as always.

The Skye Druids series form part of Donna Grant’s Dark World universe. You can start this series without having read any of the other books, but I would recommend you read this one in order at least. If you like intense chemistry, spectacular magic, dragons, Fae, and Druids, then this is the series for you.

Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
