Broken Dove by Kristen Ashley
4.0
4.5 stars - revised to 4 stars with the second reading.
I have loved every book in this series! Broken Dove was no exception. Poor Ilsa has been abused or ignored pretty much her whole life. Apollo lost his wife, her twin, pays the witch Valentine to bring Isla to his world from her own.
This was a long book, but as with most Kristen Ashley books that I have read, I hardly noticed the length. Apollo really pissed me off a few times, he was quite cruel to the new Isla. However she, like many of KA's heroines, is able to understand and confront him on his actions.
Despite Apollo ditching Isla right away to her guards to take them home, I thought it was good for her to have this space. She enchanted all her guards and they gave her a nickname, Maddie, and space and time to enjoy herself.
Once they are reunited Apollo is able to turn things around and their romance is very sweet. Their sexcapades are freaking hot. I loved the developments with his children as well, Maddie constantly showed her tender heart and put the children's needs above hers.
Overall the story was very satisfying and lovely.
I loved seeing the previous heros and heroines, though I had to laugh a bit at:
I'm not sure how I feel about the next book. I wish some of the male guardsmen would get books, I'm sad the next book was the last.

At first I almost would rather Maddie take off to either be with herself or Derek. I was just so pissed at Apollo.Once they are reunited Apollo is able to turn things around and their romance is very sweet. Their sexcapades are freaking hot.
