BROKEN FATES is the final book in the Severed Flames trilogy and gives a very satisfying conclusion to Vale's story.

Beginning from where Stolen Embers finished, Vale is on her own and doing everything in her power to rescue and protect her sister. Where are her dragons, I hear you ask? Well, they're doing their own thing.

All three of these books are full of spice and battles, and sometimes those things combine - I'm looking at you, Selene - and this one is no different. Everything that has happened has been building up to this book and it will take you on a rollercoaster ride as your emotions go through all the motions!

Now, a possible unpopular opinion - I really had had enough of the boys at the beginning of this one, Idris especially. Kian was and always will be my favourite and his self-realisation here only confirms that, although it took him long enough! And after they sort it out, they STILL think Vale is soft and fragile, not trusting in her or her abilities. I'm surprised I have any teeth left, I ground them that much!

Anyway, this story is completely outstanding from beginning to end and I have loved spending time in their world. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me, just in case you were wondering.

You Are Cordially Invited to a … Kidnapping
Jax is just days away from the event we’ve been waiting for almost as much as she has – her wedding to the youngest son of a ruler of a neighboring kingdom. With friends and family coming in a couple of days before the big event, and a couple of days before the rest of the guests, Jax is hoping for some relaxing before she has to play hostess and politics with her guests. But when Uma, her lady in waiting, goes to pick up the flowers a couple of days before, she is kidnapped. With only a cryptic clue to guide her, can Jax find Uma and rescue her? And will this latest case hurt her relationships with those she loves most?

Any fan of the series has been looking forward to the events of this book. The beginning takes a bit of time getting to the story. Part of that is set up, but some is just general updates on the characters and the realm. Once the kidnapping happens, the pace doesn’t let up. I loved how things came together. I also loved getting to spend time with these characters again. They truly are fun. Reactions to the events of the story felt realistic, and part of that is because of elements from the past books that are mentioned in passing. It feels like we’ve turned a page in the series, and I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next.

This is a fast-paced and action-packed story involving a young widow and a senator, among others. Her husband was killed thirteen months ago in what she presumed was a mugging but it turns out to be something completely different.

Elizabeth is a strong character from the start. She is being chased by two men but doesn't just cower and whimper but is constantly fighting back and looking for ways to escape. Senator John comes to her rescue, but she threatens to kick his ass if he doesn't give her some answers. I loved this part! The story then continues with action throughout as they try to figure out just what is going on within the timeframe they have, as well as trying to stay alive and have a new relationship.

Personally, I found the dialogue between John and Liz to be quite stilted at times, and the timing seemed 'off' on a couple of occasions too. Not that what was said, wouldn't have been said - just, would it have been said at that precise time? At other times, it flowed and seemed perfectly natural so it isn't something that happens throughout the book!

There is plenty to enjoy about this book and I, for one, am certainly looking forward to seeing more from Char Sharp and her Soul Mate Rescued series. Definitely recommended.
