Deserted by Jaymin Eve
4.0
4.25 - I loved being back in the Shadow Beast World and seeing the gang again. Angel and Reece's story is an emotional one of past love, family, loss and grief, but most of all hope and healing. A lot of sass, swearing and action is had, with a few tears thrown in.
I am looking forward to Simone and Lucien's story.
Quotes-
'I was important for more reasons than just keeping the balance and saving worlds.
I had a family again, and I liked to think that the reason death had passed me by, was to give me a chance to really live my life. Maybe they thought I deserved this second chance.'
'...I felt more at peace. And if I'd learned anything in my long life, it was that often, peace trumped power. Power could be stolen, earned and rewarded. It was everywhere for the taking.
But peace… was far harder to come by.'
'"Surprised he's let you out of arm's reach to sit here with me."
She wasn’t out of his sight, though; Shadow and .... The friends were chatting, but it was clear where both their focuses were: right on this bench.
"He could be here in a heartbeat and we both know it, so I'm never really out of his arm's reach."
I turned back to Mera. "Doesn't that bother you?"
She shrugged. "You know, I thought it would, but I actually want to be with him all the time. He gets me, and I feel complete when he's nearby. In the end, Shadow can roar and throw fire and act like a possessive Neanderthal, but we all know I have the true power. He loves me, and I’ve never known another who’d work so hard to give me everything I’ve ever dreamed of or desired. What woman wouldn't want to be worshipped by a dangerously gorgeous @#%# of a man?"'
