Rating: 6 Stars
Triggers: Sex Trafficking (mentioned/described) & Attempted Rape (on page).
On to my review: The reason I gave this book 6 stars instead of the normal 5 that I usually give is because it kept me engaged throughout and the MCs Dean & Sophia's interractions in the beginning is that they don't trust each other but throughout the story that enemies to lovers thing between them goes out the window once they start trusting one another and work together to bring down Bishop and his operation and by the end which made me cry happy tears by the way finalizes me into loving the story so hard. If you're looking for a book that has you intrigues you from page one then give it a try. Also I want to mention this was my first book by this author and I hope to read more of his backlog as well as his future releases. So you can tell I'm a big fan since giving one of his books a chance and I'm so glad that this was the first book that introduced me to his writing.

I loved this story!! I don’t typically read fantasy but to see ancient legends and stories interwoven with a beautiful love story set in Scotland was incredible!!
I loved the characters of Fable and Alder, and even the secondary characters as well. There was something so poetic and enchanting about this story and the power of true love and how it can transcend from time even through different chapters of time. This was my first book from Adriane Leigh and I can’t wait to read more of her work and the future books in this series!

I received this as an arc for my honest review
This is the first book by Logan Chance that I’ve ever read and it won’t be the last. It took me a while to get really into the book but when I did, I just didn’t want to put it down. It’s exciting and steamy with a lot of surprises along the way. I really loved it.

Logan's books never disappoint me. Every time when I start his new book I can't leave it until I finish it. This one is not an exception, it is captivating, smokin' hot, fast paced, romantic suspense. Even it is part of a series, it can be read as single one. Dean Maddox and Sophia Rossi gave me a good ride while they were trying to reach their goals with tons of twists, turns, suspense, intrigue, and oh where they go and get into...
I can't decide what genre I like the most from Logan's books, they are all perfect and I thoroughly enjoy reading every single one.

3.5 stars. The female lead is strong and focused, working to overcome trauma of her past by focusing on revenge. The male lead is focused on success, ignoring the actions of his employers whilst he executes their requests. Honestly, neither of these characters really spoke to me but their interactions were engaging and their relationship development was coherent.
The story is dual POV, well written and edited, with a strong overarching plot line that will carry forward to future stories in the series.

ok lol
pacing was wacky, and i perhaps find some of the reactions to near-death experiences... slightly? forgiveable? nah i change my mind they were so mild and one-and-done to the point that even the contrivance can't justify it.
and that epilogue pissed me off. you seriously let him do what he wanted over the person to whom the most harm was done??? ridiculous. can't believe it was the quick end rather than the far better alternative
language was pretty tho. the attempted sciences had me uhhhhh annoyed in the way of suspension of disbelief. but still the language was pretty. didn't make me like the book tho.

Well, this was a good surprise, it's an original story idea, where Fable and Adler will steal your heart. Their journey was so entertaining I couldn't put it down, this magical world was fantastic, I really liked the pacing and how the author built the story. There are so many twists and mysteries that will capture your attention and you can't simply put it down. The couple's chemistry and relationship were so good. I strongly recommend it if you like paranormal fantasy suspense.

What did I just read? I felt like I was in a dream state the entirety of this story. It all started coming together as Fable starts reading the stories that Keats, the keeper of the house, recommends. Fable, our main character, is there to find her long lost great-aunt and learn about her heritage, this is not a vacation. This is not anything you will not find out in reading just the blurb, but you cannot stop there. You will need to dive into the deep end of the fairy pools and search deep into your emotions to get through this story. There is a lot of love in this story, not only with Fable, but with all the characters in the stories of the book she is reading. The Scottish Highlands add an ethereal quality to the words on the page, and the haunting nature of the seaside village and surrounding cliffs of Skye are bound to keep you on edge. I will be honest that I almost set this story to the side, but I kept going knowing the author was leading me somewhere, and I am glad I pursued the ending.
