Wendy O'Sullivan’s life drastically changes upon discovering she is not human, and is charged with guarding the Key of Peace. To make matters more complicated, she reunites with the Protector she's dreamed of since the day he rescued her from a demon attack.
Kieran Frasier, hasn’t kissed, much less loved a woman in over three hundred years, his heart firmly encased behind thick walls. The fierce immortal defends innocents from powerful demons, but can he defend himself from diminutive Wendy, who manages to get past all his barricades?
Faced with arranged marriages to others and battling demons that will stop at nothing to capture Wendy, will they be forced to surrender their chance at true love for the greater good?
3rd book in the Immortal Protectors series. Previously published as Surrender (2016) Paranormal contemporary romance. Can be read as a stand-alone. I haven’t read the prior book yet and had no trouble following the concept.
Kieran Is an Immortal Protector. His job is to kill demons before they can harm humans. Since his marriage dissolved hundreds of years ago, he’s kept his heart and emotions cold and locked down. When he saves Wendy from a demon attack, his emotions stir and finds himself unusually protective of her from even his friends.
I liked the overall feel of the relationships between friends and the romance between Kieran and Wendy. It was an easy read with a couple of surprising twists. A few references to potential upcoming character stories make me want to read the next book immediately.
One jarring note, “Wendy screeched” and screamed more than a few times. Every time it threw me out of the story. I’m more of a passive person and believe that honey is the better choice.
I was gifted this book; this is my honest review. -The book is half about Fallon and half about Kieran & Wendy. I didn't see why we got SO MUCH information about Fellon (his bedroom scenes, his problems with the demons, and the rest) since he's getting his own book next, in Immortal Lord. Many more information could have been given instead like how Gerard figured Wendy was the guardian of the key, or how Julian decided that Wendy was really Kieran's fated mate - I didn't buy that he was threatened -, or advance the story about Gerard and his minions - we are not getting closer to anything at all. -Not much action or mystery or romance or anything else this time around and it was a bit boring. It took me three days to read instead of just one. -The whole scene when Kieran growls at Fellon and they both end-up on the floor, then Hector just comes in and picks up Wendy is simply hilarious. -I don't know how they hired Jake but he is totally unprofessional as a bodyguard. -There are so many repetitions or info that people are surprised to hear like the author completely forgot they put that in writing a few chapters before or at the beginning of the book. A great example is that Emma already spelt the beans to the Protectors about Wendy remembering Kieran. The author used the same sentence when both Sebastian and Carlo commented on Gerard spending so much time with humans and the same also when Gerard is talking in his head about the problem. -I'm confused as to why Wendy is pondering if she should explore the mansion when the doctor told her to rest her sprained ankle and she's hurting badly. I'm also confused as to how Wendy didn't pick up on the urgency of Kieran's words when he told her to lock herself up in her bedroom; she gave him an annoyed look instead of moving. Eye roll here. -Unlike the other ladies who screamed a lot, Wendy cries a lot and she's not even pregnant. -A few unbelievable actions, like pregnant Emma flying at passed 8 months. Wendy singing 4 full songs in 3 minutes that should have taken closer to 7 minutes. A couple not listening to their queen and let their twins go about life not knowing who/what they were, especially being royalty themselves. -Editing needs a serious pass. I'll just give one example because it would be too long. Missing letters (coifed/coiffed). Interchanging car/truck. In the other book, Keiran saved Wendy 4 years ago, not 2. Too many words (they were both were trying), missing words (to make she didn't). Sometimes the key of war increased powers for 10 years, other times 100 years. Wrong word (coach/couch).
