Unexpected

Reviewed: 10-15-24

I wasn’t expecting to love this so much. I loved seeing Cole fall in love with Delilah. I loved watching him stumble and I loved watching him realize his mistakes and I loved seeing him work hard for something and someone that had nothing to do with his wealth.

On the flip side I really liked Delilah’s self worth. I loved watching how she held her head high even when she was betrayed multiple times by people who were supposed to care for her. She had an inner strength that made me love her and want the most for her.

This is definitely going on my favorites shelf and I can’t wait for Tate’s book to be released as an audiobook.

One of my favorites

This is one of my favorite highlander books. I listen to it about once a year. The narration is great and the story is original.

I love this book.

While Hollie Jackson is not my favorite narrator, I absolutely love this story and I have willingly listened to her speak into my ear over and over again to enjoy this story. It’s my favorite of all the IPB books. When the first introductions are made and I love falling into this story every couple of years.

More adventure(?) Less romance.

Reviewed: 02-15-22

I skipped the second book because I just wasn’t interested in Sinèad as a heroine. This book sounded so promising. But I should have heeded the other reviews.

I wouldn’t say it was boring. It was a good story. But I read for the love story. In the Handfasting the love story was the primary subject. There was a secondary story about women being stolen. I’m this book, that story was the primary story and the love story was secondary. In fact the Hero and heroine aren’t even together for most of the book.

It was still a great story just not what I was looking for in a romance.

Loved the heroine!

I loved this so much! I didn’t want it to end. Of course, if it didn’t end I would still be listening to it. I stayed up until 3AM because I couldn’t make myself turn it off.

I love a strong heroine. But I REALLY love a witty, snarky heroine. This was Ada. She made me laugh out loud multiple times. I think the narrator for Ada was perfect. She delivered Ada’s quips perfectly and there was a sort of tomboyish quality to her voice that just mad the story so much better.

Callum was portrayed as kind of an uptight politician who was wealthy but was removed from the dark underworld, at first. So it was fun when his dark side came out and you realize Callum has more sides to him than he shows to the world.

I loved watching Callum fall for Ada. I mean I liked watching Ada fall too, but for Callum, he had such a prejudice against the Griffins from the start. I liked it when he was surprised at how intelligent Ada was, or when she brought new information to the table on potential voters. I loved that he underestimated her. Because every time she surprised him he fell for her a little more.

There was a story, but it was lacking substance

Reviewed: 09-08-21

I don’t need super realistic to be happy with a book. But there should at least be some attempt made at realism. What I mean is Kat was taken when she was 12 or 13 I think. She was living a horrible existence, she was raped and used as a guinea pig for drugs. When she is finally reunited with her family, she has zero trouble becoming a normal well-adjusted person. She falls back in with her family and cousins like she never left. As if these people aren’t totally different than how she left them. Her cousins who are all grown up now. She doesn’t know them anymore, but one of her cousins confides his problems to her. Her own parents spend like 1 day with her. Oh and she has two little sisters. I don’t care how nice of a person you are that is going to bother you, especially since she thought her family gave up on her and wasn’t coming for.

That’s another thing. They had “eyes” on her? Why was she still there then? The second they knew she was there they should have done everything they could to get her back.

These things and a few more just made it very hard for me to enjoy the book.

I love this book so much. I loved it as much as the first one in the series.

You know you’ve listened to something great when you get to the end and you’re sad it’s over. That’s what this was for me.

Not my favorite

Reviewed: 07-20-21

I just didn’t feel the connection in this book. Maybe it was their dynamic from the start, him buying her and saying he would free her when he got her out of his system, and her being fine with it. I just didn’t “feel” anything for this couple.

I felt very “meh” about this book.

It could have also been the narrator. She’s not my favorite but not someone I can’t stand by any means. She enunciates all her T’s which makes her sound very formal, and when she reads crude words or intimate scenes, it sounds cringe. Also another thing that annoys me is she gets a collection of spit in the front of her mouth and you can hear it when she says her p’s. Gross. Sorry this has nothing to do with the actual book, but I think it impacted my overall in enjoyment of the story. I might have a different rating if I had read the book instead of listened.

It was ok

Reviewed: 07-20-21

I liked the overall story, but the heroine drove me nuts. Just little things, that added up to what I saw as entitled. Like when she asked Xul why he didn’t change his mission when he knew he would be endangering her. At this point she meant nothing to him, she was lucky he cared enough to help her at all. Or when he tries to describe sand twisters or whatever he called it and she says “oh you mean tornado.” No he meant sand twister, you’re the alien here. It was little things like that that drove me crazy.

Didn’t want it to end

I loved it, maybe more than the original. I absolutely loved hearing the story from Christian’s POV.
