Bonds Eternal by Yve Vale
3.5 Stars
A Realm War. Fragile mate bonds. And a powerful
Elven mage intent on eliminating humans.
The Elven King and the Unseelie Mage plan to take
everything from my mates and me. The futures of both realms are at stake, and
it is up to us to stop the destruction. But our mate bonds are damaged. As we
face impossible challenges, I don’t know who I can trust, not even my mates. Caught
in the middle of the fray, I will do anything to safeguard the realms and
thwart the war. But that also means my mates have to protect me at all costs. Emerging
magical powers, a ragtag group of allies, and our desperate hope for a future
will have to be enough to thwart the most powerful elves ever known to Fae.
This book wraps up the series nicely. It was
interesting to see how it all plays out. I liked the characters for the most
part. There was a bit too much whining from FMC and one of the guys was too
headstrong for his own good. With the four books combined and cut down as all
of them dragged at times. It was still a good story but it just needed
something.

Chaos Tempted by Yve Vale
3 Stars
I finally win my freedom. But will the cost ruin us?
Preventing a realm war isn’t as simple as we had
hoped.
Our enemies are closer to their victory than we
wanted to believe.
The threats against my life have not abated.
In fact, I’m in more danger now that I’ve chosen to
stay with the three elves, and Prince Eldrin has named me the human ambassador
to afford me more protection. But my elevated status has the opposite effect.
In response, Eldrin gathers allies to stop his
father’s intent to ignite a war. We must prevent the chaos from destroying
everything we know.
With my newfound bonds comes a strange magic, and I
foresee that Princess Twyla is destined to betray her father, the mortal king.
Are we strong enough to prevent the disasters we
face?
This book continues where the last book left off.
Movement in the relationship between Wyn and her men. More info is revealed about
the different plots to start a war and it ends on a cliff again. I don’t feel
like there was enough movement in the story and this felt more like a bridge
book and maybe should have been combined with the last one but it was still
good. I’m curious to see where the next book takes us.

Tangled Secrets by Yve Vale
3.5 Stars
Wyn has been kidnapped, injured and left in the
human realm with a threat against those she cares the most for. Oakes and Jaden
find her just in time but break the Human/Fae treaty which draws Eldrin to the
human realm to rescue all of them. When secrets are revealed will Wyn want to
go home with them or will she want to stay in the human realm?
Solid read and continues the story where we left off
with book one. It’s very slow moving with secrets revealed but more introduced.
I enjoy the give and take between characters but don’t feel there was a ton of
character development/growth in the book, and I wanted to see more growth. I am
curious to see how the series ends and there is a ton that needs to happen for
it to conclude so it will be interesting.
Book 2 Fae Hearted

Between Realms by Yve Vale
3 Stars
Wyn is one of the only humans in the fae realm after
the war. She’s an indentured servant who just wants to live her best life. When
she receives a summons to the castle for an audience with the royals. On her journey
to the castle, she runs into trouble and is rescued by a mysterious fae who is
also heading to the castle. He takes it upon himself to be her protector to the
castle. Once they arrive, she finds he is an advisor to the prince. The prince
wishes to learn about humans and their bodies and asks her to allow him to
explore. There isn’t supposed to be any feelings or connections but can they
keep out emotions before they get hurt?
This is a very slow burn. Wyn is very Pollyanna esc
character and a whole lot of naivety. This is also a world building book and
set up for the rest of the series which is fine but made for slow reading for
me. It does end on a cliffhanger and that is about when it started getting really
good so a bit disappointing, but it did draw me in enough to look forward to
the next book.

Rebel Fates Yve Vale
3.5 / 4 Stars
Gemma is ready to get
off Earth and away from her stalker ex-boyfriend. She figured something could
go wrong but wasn’t planning on ending up being trafficked and sold off to
aliens. When she is rescued by an alien race she’s never met before she’s not
sure what she wants to do and if it will include the men who saved her.
This was ok. I felt
like it needed some more world building. I wanted to know more about MMCs
species. You will have to make some assumptions. I also didn't like the thrown
in fourth mate at the end of the book. What I did like was the ship. She was
awesome. I also loved Serrat, Zeek, and Rok. They each brought something
different to Gemma. I am interested in knowing what else is going on and if
more human women are rescued / mated.
