BLURB: JEAN

The past has a way of catching up with you, even if you are immortal. I’ve spent thousands of years as the valet and companion to the powerful King of All Shifters. It has been my honor and duty to protect, serve, and advise him. I never intended to fall in love with him. My past is filled with death and bloodshed, but I never once regretted keeping Alarick safe. Now an evil I thought long gone has resurfaced, determined to kill Alarick and plunge the world into chaos. Saving Alarick means revealing the truth about myself. I don’t know what’s worse, failing to protect the king I love, or watching him turn away from me in disgust when he discovers what I really am.

KING ALARICK

As King of All Shifters, my powers are connected to the cosmos, and I have been around since the dawn of time. There are few things that can kill me. Unfortunately, one of those things has escaped its prison and is set to destroy me. The only weapon that can defeat this creature is the Scythe of Kronos, which has been missing for nearly as long as I have lived. When Jean and I set out on a quest to find the scythe, questions I had long ignored must now be answered. What is Jean’s connection to this evil? Why will he trust me with his life but not his secrets? As my most trusted valet, and my greatest friend, surely nothing that happens along this perilous journey can change what I feel in my heart for him. Or can it?

REVIEW:

I can’t find enough words to describe just how sweet and exciting the characters in this series are.

We finally get to see King Alarick and his mysterious and loyal confidante and companion get their HEA and I’m here for every glorious bit of it.

You’ve known from book one that Jean had a secret about his past and what type of magical he was but I must say that I never expected the back story that was given. I loved that the author waited a bit to tell Jean’s story. It just made the story that was told that much more exciting.

King Alarick is absolutely adorable. He’s funny, quirky and loving. His antics in the previous stories had me laughing until I had tears in my eyes. The grudge he had with that squirrel from the last story still has me laughing out loud.

In this story, the script has been flipped in that the King and Jean must embark on their own journey. Jean is forced to confront his past when it comes kicking in his door so to speak and King Alarick is wept up and tossed right into the middle of it.

This story is a filled magical things and beings, love, evil, and filled adventures. Jean and King Alarick work together to fight against the evil that’s come for Jean. I loved how the story flows. There were no holes or lags anywhere. The characters were engaging, interesting and exciting as usual and the ending was HEA-fabulous.

The entire presentation was beautiful; from the cover to the end. This high quality work is what you will always get from this author and what she is known for.
