Oberon King is known as the Purse of the White Frost, while Fenrir is simply known as Wolf. Fen has lived for many years as a Product of The Wardrobe, and has one final mission before his mistress, Michelle, says he will be claimed as Pack. Of course, you know it's not going to be straightforward!
I loved the back and forth between our two MCs, complete with their cheesy romantic one-liners and the dad jokes. That was balanced by Fenrir's heartbreaking backstory that came out in dribs and drabs. They are ably supported by a host of characters, some of whom I've heard of or met in previous books.
This is a dark romance, so it does come with trigger warnings. Please read to ensure it's safe for you. I personally didn't think it was too bad, but that's me. Use your judgment for your own mental health.
A great read that I thoroughly enjoyed and have no hesitation in recommending.

This series has some strong ongoing storylines, so you’ll want to be up to date before you pick up this book. Especially since the early part of the novel spends time on those storylines. That part was a little contemplative for my taste, but things do pick up as the new adventure kicks into high gear. I’m still not a fan of the romantic triangle, but I did enjoy the new story and a character we met along the way. The regulars were charming, too. This book sets up the final book with a couple of cliffhangers, and I really can’t wait to find out what is going to happen next. Fans will enjoy this next chapter in Ellie’s life.

Their romance takes place during just over a week, but trust me, your emotions will go up hill and down dale as their story sweeps you along. These two are perfect in every way for each other. There are HOT and spicy moments, romantic moments, snarky moments, and then my-eyes-are-leaking moments. Plus, there is lots of caretaking, which is one of my not-so-guilty pleasures. And it is so well written, you won't even notice how long it is!
With a whole host of supporting characters, I was ecstatic to find out Joe will have his own story. I'm hoping to meet up again with the characters here, especially George and Alex, to find out if all their dreams are coming true. Absolutely fantastic and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY ME.

Merissa (14003 KP) rated Tainted Energy (The Energy Series Book 1) in Books
Apr 10, 2023
Lena is being punished by a hard life on Earth - although she can't remember any of it. All she does know is that her Dream Man "Him" visits her in her dreams and promises to find her. Tarek has been searching for Lena for the past 17 years, ever since she was accused and sentenced as being 'tainted'. Finally, someone comes to him and tells him where she might be but also that she is in danger.
This is exceedingly well written with the descriptions of various places, people and acts being very clear. You will be with Lena every step of the way but also understand Tarek's struggles to comprehend that this Lena isn't his Lena even though she is.
The ending though... OMG!!! Not what I was expecting, absolutely tear-jerking and yet I can't imagine it any other way now. Brilliant.
Definitely recommended for all fans of Fantasy/Paranormal which has its own take and spin on things. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for Book 2, Lost Energy.

The characters are well-rounded and old favourites are either mentioned or make cameo appearances. This world becomes more real every time I read about it. The plot is fast-paced and with no holes, although the 'bad guy' is known almost from the start, it's not for the mystery that you read this book. It is romantic and funny, hot and sad.
Definitely recommended for all fans of Caris Roane and if you haven't read anything of hers, then I can highly recommend the Blood Rose series as a starting point.
