Broken Captive by Addison Cain
ETA - I have removed my rating as this is yet another unfinished series by this author. I have enjoyed her work, but I can no longer support someone who repeatedly starts a series and leaves it unfinished.
Oh my word, this is an absolutely amazing series.
More Caspian, Kieran, Toby and Wren goodness, or badness depending on your point of view. Oh Wren I do love you, with your sheer determination and your love for your children. She is fabulous and even when the men are at their pigheaded worst she never feels like a victim or a weak heroine. In truth, and despite what she sometimes believes, Wren's only brokenness is in her fingers, literally. She shines like the most precious glittering gem, despite the very real mud and filth that surrounds her.
And Kieran, oh Kieran, what wondrous spell-casting has Ms C achieved to lift you from most reviled and hateful of men to a tortured and vulnerable hero. Oh his truth will break your heart and cast his vitriol in a whole new light. He is now risen head and shoulders above the mental tsunami that is Toby and the gluttonous well of self-blinkered ignorance that is Caspian.
But great sorrow filled my heart that this book had to end, and on a dagger point of a cliff-hanger too. Nope it isn't a trilogy, as I think most of us had suspected. So whilst part of me bemoans the fact that the tale is still not complete, a larger part rejoices in the knowledge that there is still more good badness to be had with this quartet.
