Guardian Queen by Dana Marton

 

3.5 Star

Tera and Batumar are back on their island. They are need to liberate their people and take out their enemies. This is their final fight and they need to do whatever they need to do. Will they be able to take back their island without losing everything?

For me this part was a little bit on the slow side just like book 2 was. It does conclude the story nicely and I like how it ends and I did like the writing of the author. I just wish it'd been more concise and more compact between book 2 and book 3. Overall really good series to read loved this series would read it again in a heartbeat makes me wish that the author had more books out that are paranormal fantasy type versus suspense romance.

Book 3 Hardstrom Saga

Accidental Sorceress by Dana Marton

 

4 Star

To gain allies Tera and her lover High Lord Batumar have to survive the journey across the sea. They need to team up with unsavory characters and there is no guarantee it will bring them alias and let them save their people.

Don't like anyone. A whole bunch of characters are killed off in this book. I still enjoyed it but I would like someone and bam dead. This one was a little bit more bogged down than the first book. It also took more time for me to read where the first I blew through. I still liked all of the characters and the continue to grow and change. It also builds on book 1 and isn't resolved so you will need to read book 3 for the conclusion. There are a couple of shockers in the book that surprised me. Well worth the read.

Book 2 Hardstrom Saga

Reluctant Concubine by Dana Martin

 

4 Star

Tera is a part of a legendary line of healers. She is expected to do great things but hasn't so far. When her father sells her to a neighboring tribe, she assumes it's for healing. Instead, she's placed up for sale. A house buys her with the intent of using her as a concubine. That is until she catches the eye of the High Lord, He needs her for her healing ability. She doesn't trust him but until she can escape, he's the best option. When war comes for them will her opinion change?

This was a book I wasn't sure I would like. It was free which usually gives me incentive to try, and I was pleasantly surprised to really enjoy the book. I liked the world building and character development. It as an interesting take on slave turned lover. I'm interested in seeing where the story is going to go. If you like period piece / Viking story this might fit your reaching habit.
