Will his fears destroy their burgeoning romance ...
This is the second book in this series I have read, I missed the previous one because I lacked time at the period of its release. Still it is lined on some of my shelves waiting for a more free schedule.
I have read other works by the author, but this series once again leaves me with mixed feelings.
I am a marvel and dc fan girl, they enlightened my teens intermixed with Barbara Cartland books and Elquest, I know quite a mix. So there is nothing more I love then a dash of paranormal in my historical romances.
And here it is X-men meet Jane Eyre.
Yet like my previous read, I struggled at time to catch the thoughts or perspectives the author wanted to infuse in her characters. I got regularly lost in her line of thinking.
Still once the first quarter of the story has settled, I began to really enjoy it. Delaney and Sebastian’s journey to their HEA is a complex rollercoaster playing hot and cold as they must acknowledge their attraction but also their inner fears and face the reality of their differences.
Sébastien lives with the terror of losing control, of letting his power take over himself. Why he tried to dose his cursed gift with opium, or he went to war where he would do less damage than in a civilized crowd and why he also believes only a woman who does not stir him up nor arouse him is the right answer to continue his line.
After having witnessed his friends finding women who sooth their mind and quiet their gift, he truly thinks a woman he is not drawn to is the right one for him when an other sparks his interest and provokes him which scares him to no end, afraid he might loose his tight control over his gift.
Delaney is from one side on the run, on the other trying to find a way out. She fled her homeland, a place she never felt she belonged to a new one which ostentatiously rejects her because she was not born among it. Yet she has no other choice than to stay there as it is her only exit ticket to her predicament.
But now she has been caught, she must decide which new path does she want to follow, she is torn between her attraction to Sebastian, his rank and her insecurities.
One sure is certain they know how to blow hot and cold, igniting a room by their mere presence and spending time to scorch the atmosphere around them and more.
So everything considered, even the disconcerting beginning, it is a story I liked and now I want to know about Simon and his dream lady.
