My Review

Rise of theAncients is one of the best books I’ve read this year. It is a well crafted story. The writing is great, and I loved the way characters played off each other. As the story progresses and their passion for each other unfolded, it felt real. No silly games or contrived misunderstandings. Even when the heroine tries to pull away from the hero due her misgivings about their relationship, he pulls her back in and reaffirms their bond. The romance is steamy and passionate without being too explicit. The good guys win and the our hero and heroine begin their HEA. I will be looking at other work by this author.
