Eden #4
Eden's Deliverance
Fate is the life we’re given. Destiny is what we do with it.
Captured as a child and forced into slavery by the Rebellion’s leader, Brenna Haven was raised in near isolation with the utmost cruelty. She knew nothing of kindness, or compassion, until Fate orchestrated her rescue. Finally free, she wants nothing more than to return to her home. To reconnect with her human family and live a simple, quiet life. But her newfound powers demand an entirely different future. One fraught with danger, and a terrifying role in an ancient Myren prophecy.
A battle-hardened warrior and sworn bodyguard to the king, Ludan Forte wields a powerful, memory stealing gift. But his skill comes with a price. A torturous burden he’s hidden since his awakening over a hundred years ago. He never dreamed he’d find relief, let alone be tempted to forgo his vows to the king. Yet in Brenna’s sweet, beguiling presence, the weight he bears is lifted. And when her role in the prophecy threatens her life, he’ll stop at nothing to keep her safe.

Eden’s Deliverance is book four in the Eden series by Rhenna Morgan. All opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and were not influenced by any outside sources.
“Fate is the life we’re given. Destiny is what we do with it.”
This series has captured me from the beginning with the beautiful realm Rhenna has created in Eden. This fourth book is the final book. What a beautiful, sexy, sweet, suspenseful and just plain amazing finale it is.
Brenna Haven was captured by Maxis when she was only eight years old. She was a human. And he brought her to Eden where she lived as a slave and over the fifteen years he had her, she suffered immensely. So much so that she knows no man will ever want her knowing what he did to her. She has been rescued and now is living at the Malran’s castle in Eden.
Ludan Forte is Eryx (the Malran’s) bodyguard or somo. He took an oath and protecting him is his life. One of Ludan’s gifts is to be able to scan people’s memories. He is the best scanner there is. But, unlike other’s with this ability, once Ludan scans someone’s memories, they are locked in his head, replaying over and over again. His head is a constant replay of thousands of memories, that never stops. Until the day he touched Brenna. When they touched, all was quiet.
You’d think that the giant of a man, Ludan, would scare Brenna. She has felt like she was constantly afraid ever since she was rescued and brought here. But something about him made her feel safe.
“Where most men made her scramble for distance, Ludan’s closeness had calmed her.”
It is discovered that Brenna plays a very important role in the prophecy. She will be the chosen one that will decide whether the wall between the human realm and Eden will stay or be taken down. All Brenna wants is to go home. She hasn’t seen her family since she was taken. Can she choose not to be a part of this prophecy? She just wants to be normal, to go home. To finally have a life of free choice. Ludan volunteers to be the one to take her home. But what of his vow to Eryx? She can’t deny that having this man close to her is more than she could have hoped for.
“You don’t make me think about the past. You make me believe I can have a future.”
At the same time, evil Serena is busy wreaking havoc. She wants the power. She wants Eryx’s throne. She wants everything. And she will do anything and everything to get it. Once she deciphers the prophecy, she figures out Brenna’s importance in all of it, and her plans take shape.
This is by far my favorite book of this series. Brenna and Ludan’s story is so amazing. Brenna blooms with the strength and support from Ludan. Gone is the scared, quiet woman and what emerges is a strong, determined, stubborn, prideful woman. And Ludan who never thought he could share a life with a woman is just bowled over by what he feels for Brenna. I have to say that there is one particular scene that is one of the hottest scenes I have ever read but what makes it so hot is how beautiful it was. I literally swooned. These two together were off the charts.
This book kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. You have the love story developing and at the same time the evil forces plotting their paths to power. And Rhenna keeps us on edge until the very end. I love epilogues and this had such a wonderful epilogue. It was the perfect way to leave me with that extra little sigh or swoon.
This series is definitely worth reading. Every book is amazing but as I said before, this final one is the icing on the cake. So what are you waiting for. Get started now and experience Eden. I hope you love it as much as I did.
“This is what hope feels like. I suggest you get used to it.”

I'm sad to see this series end but what a great ending it was. The fifth and final book focused on Brenna and Ludan. Brenna had such a tragic life when she was kidnapped and turned into a slave from the age of eight. Ludan, with a very powerful gift that had such painful consequences, didn't have it easy either. Their struggle to accept any good in their life showed how damaged they were. I loved that they healed each other and was given a HEA they deserved.
For fantasy romance, this has everything you could want in a series. The most important, romance. I love the whole mate concept. Knowing you are destined for one and you would live, breathe and die for that one. The author did a wonderful job of expressing that in this series. Also, creating a new race with extreme power and a great purpose in life that extended to humans was fun to read about. I look forward to Rhenna Morgan's next foray into the fantasy world.

Well the last book in this series seems to have come around so quickly . I guess I'm used to longer series so just feel well frankly surprised as I honestly thought there might be more. That being said the author does follow through on a romance that was kind of on the periphery , whilst at the same time giving answers that help bring closure.
The unrest in Eden seemed almost contained except for just a few rebels but boy do they fight dirty! Serena has always been desperate to overthrow Eryx and now with her latest partner in crime her plans are well and truly moving towards the final end game. Trouble is the prophecy involves a certain human who has already suffered so much at the hands of the now dead rebellion leader and Brenna is protected by the mighty warrior Ludan. There's no way Ludan will let anything harm the gentle Brenna, not even himself ! Yet the longer Ludan spends time with Brenna as she hunts for her mother the more he falls under her spell. Brenna might be human but she's all woman and just starting to realise that Ludan might need her more than he thinks. Yet plans are in motion to tear down the walls separating Eden from the rest of the world and a huge choice is getting closer but will it be a sacrifice too many?
I do feel the authors way of focusing on one couple in each book works very well to keep this series feeling fresh. There's still time for previous characters to feature which helps further enrich the plot as the overall storyline develops. I will say though with the various life forms mentioned I feel this is a series that really does need to be read in order .
The chemistry between Brenna and Ludan helps steer this story and Ludan might want to keep his distance but sometimes we get what we need and not necessarily what we want! Brenna has suffered so much and yet she isn't afraid of the somewhat grumpy Ludan but as his secrets are exposed it's hard not to feel for him. What I find odd is that these books seem to start off slow and then save all the action for the latter half, I'm not sure why but that's simply how it feels to this reader. This series is an unusual concept and unlike other paranormal stories I have read so well worth checking out if you haven't started this series yet but please read in order . So it's the final hurrah for these characters and hope is born but I do still wish there had been perhaps one more book .

Eden’s Deliverance is the last book in Rhenna Morgan’s paranormal/fantasy Eden series. I read the first book in the series a few weeks ago in preparation for this release, and I will definitely be going back to finish the two middle books very soon.
The Story-
The prophecy about Eden is coming to a head, and a threat still looms large. A human, Brenna, may be the key to Eden’s entire existence, and after everything she’s been through at the hands of Myrens, she could certainly hold a grudge if she wanted. Ludan has always been a protector, but his protection instincts are through the roof where Brenna is concerned. The question seems like it will be: can she trust him even though she has been hurt, and can he give himself to her completely?
My Thoughts-
Notice how I said “the question seems to be”? Yeah, this book is NOTHING like I thought it would be. And that is a good thing. It’s not like it would have been a bad book if it had gone the way you’d figure, but Morgan turned everything on its head and gave us what we didn’t even know we needed. What is it with me lately and reading about strong, silent heroes that are simmering under the surface so tightly that you just can’t wait to see them let go? Well, I am loving that type of hero, and Ludan embodies that image. To see the tables turn and have Brenna saving him instead of being the damsel in distress is so refreshing and rewarding.
The Good-
OMG, Morgan can write a sex scene. I keep thinking that if she had written 50 shades instead of James, kindles would have spontaneously combusted from the heat instead of everyone wondering what an “inner goddess” was. I digress. I don’t really read erotica, but if Rhenna Morgan wrote it, I would read it. And it isn’t that the scenes are super explicit: they are just so smartly crafted with amazing sexual tension that is released in interesting and different ways. Hot, hot, hot!!! Her characters are amazing; you can tell that she creates them first, then follows where they lead instead of forcing them into a prescribed story.
The Bottom Line-
Read the first book in the series first to get an introduction to what Eden is and who the players are. While there were a few things I missed by not yet reading the in-between books, it didn’t keep me from following this story at all. Last books in a series can be tough because of the wrap-up and let-down. Not this one. You almost forget it is the last in the series until the last couple of chapters when you are like “oh, no! I won’t have any more Eden books to read!” I will be surprised if another in this series passes this one up in my esteem, but I cannot wait to find out. 5 stars

What a fantastic grand finale!!
Wow. Just...wow. I fell in love with Ludan in book one of this series, and could not WAIT to see him get his time in the limelight. And, oh, did Ms. Morgan paint him perfectly! Brenna is one incredibly lucky lady (and probably the safest in all the lands). I was a bit curious to see how Brenna would grow and heal, and her transformation was done beautifully. From the most broken came the ultimate step toward healing us all...
So very sad to see this series come to a close, as it had the most wonderful, vibrant, kickass cast and gorgeous settings and descriptions. All throughout the series I felt like I was right there with them. No spoilers in this review, just a challenge: if you haven't read the Eden series, what in Evad are you waiting for?!

Thrilling conclusion to the Eden series. Though it may not appear so at first, Brenna and Ludan are perfectly matched. The stakes are high and everything rests on the seemingly fragile shoulders of Brenna. But she's stronger than anyone knows. Even herself. The love she shares with Ludan only strengthens her.
The romance was my favorite part--a scintillating and knee-buckling intensity that always makes me swoon. Rhenna has done it again with a fabulous love story set in a fantasy world. Recommended for all lovers of fantasy romance and wounded alpha heroes with golden hearts.

Things have come to an end with this final installment of the Eden series. The final fight has been fought and the final stand made. Brenna was the prophecy come to life and her life was now not fully her own. She had something within her that she cannot take back to the people (humans) she was torn away from. Ludan just wants to protect her. The fierce instinct was at its highest intensity.
Once free and safe in Eden Brenna begins to heals and come out of the abusive existence she has lived for years. She was once shy, scared, and quiet. She grows to be strong, resilient, determined, and worthy. The development and growth of Brenna makes things come together. Ludan falling for this one slip of a woman was mind-blowing for him. This one encounter changes his world forever.
I was just memorized by the sinfully sweet sense with Ludan and Brenna. Their interplay with each other was something to write home about. The scenes were crafted beautifully. Just the scenes with Brenna alone were emotional. I had times when I wanted to slap her but then hug her and keep her safe and hidden. She was a pivotal character. She was crafted well.
This was one sinfully sexy, astonishingly suspenseful, evocatively alluring, sweetfully endearing. You will leave Eden in love with each of the wonderful characters and remember their stories when you need a romance to fall back on, a mystery to intrigue you, and a world to lull your senses and your heart.
Now that the series is completed, I will be heading back to the beginning and pick up with all the details that I have missed. I will get to see the entire sub-plot unfold and reveal itself over the course of the four books. I will get to fall in love with four strong warriors and the women they claim. I have had the pleasure of reading two of the four books and have falling in love with the two men of Eden and their women. I will certainly keep this series close at hand to read again and again.

Ludan and Brenna are characters that have intrigued me since Book 1 and I'm so excited that they have their own book. The prophecy has been at the heart of this series and everyone's story has revolved around it. But Brenna's role in it was probably the most surprising. Tortured and damaged she shies away from any form of interaction. so deciding the fate of both the races is not something she's prepared for.
Ludan is just as isolated as Brenna and even more, he's intimidating. The secret he carries within is something that he'd rather not reveal because it would prevent him from fulfilling his duties to his Malran. Brenna though throws him completely off balance and what is even more unusual is he's the only one she seems to trust long enough to get close enough to protect her.
Together they thrive, even though they have much to learn and overcome. I think of all the couples in this series. Ludan and Brenna are my favorites. I just wish this series wasn't ending.

Wow, wow, wow.
I so want to live in this world.
Eden's deliverance is the final book in this series and to be honest I'm quite sad that this is the end for these characters and the lives they lead as in have totally fell I love with these books.
This time it's in Ludan's to find love and he finds it in Brenna who has been raped, abused and completely miss treated by Maxis.
This is a powerful and dramatic end to this series with so much packed into it you don't know what route it will take.
It's full of drama, tension, love, tears, fear and off course the hot, hot, hot sex that this series delivers from book to book.
I have loved reading these book from beginning to end and only wish there was more of then to continue this fantastic series.
Fantastic read again Rhenna Morgan.
Gifted in exchange for an honest review.

Eden's Deliverance, Rhenna Morgan
Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews
Genre: Sci-fi and Fantasy, Romance
Ok, hands up I made a boob here. I thought that a) this was the third in a series, not the fourth and final one, and b) that its was one of those with a loosely connected story arc, but that each book was more or less a stand alone as with other on-going series I’m a fan of. My bad!
Well, it is and it isn’t a kind of b) book. Each book does feature one couple but the story that surrounds them and their actions is very much connected, not a simple story arc joining them but a vital part of each book. So going in blind to the last book meant I was a bit lost at first. I had read samples of books one and two and so had an idea of the worlds and the issues.
Its really interesting this idea of parallel worlds, one that crops up such a lot and that I really enjoy. I find it very believable – maybe I’m just gullible...
My late husband used to say to people “did you know the word Gullible isn’t in the Oxford English dictionary?” And loads would say “Really?” before cottoning on!! Gullible or not, it means I really enjoy those stories.
I enjoyed this book too, loved the way the story developed, the way each person had different skills. I picked up the main story easily enough, and could work out from the context what odd words and phrases meant, and so was able to follow the story pretty well.
I loved Brenna, she’d been through so much but wasn’t cowed, wasn’t deterred from still loving forward now she’s been rescued though of course what she’s been through has an affect on her.
I liked Ludan too but at times I wanted to give him a smack for being so obtuse :-)
He thinks he’s punishing himself, that he’s the only one hurt by denying what he and Brenna are to each other, all this Duty to my ...and I’m not good enough for her, she deserves etc etc . Gah! Typical male :-) Thankfully there’s others there to give him the smack that I can’t.
The overall story took a bit of working out for me, not having read earlier ones but I still got pulled into the flow, and was trying to work out solutions.
Though I followed the Ludan, Brenna and the others sub stories OK, I found Sienna and her gang more difficult to keep up with, as I didn’t really know the background.
Still it was clear what a threat she was and I was happy at the way things worked out, the way the drama was build and it made for a satisfying ending.
Stars: Three and a half. I’d have got more from this if I’d read earlier books but I hadn’t – if I had I think I’d be rating five stars.

Stars: Three and a half. I’d have got more from this if I’d read earlier books but I hadn’t – if I had I think I’d be rating five stars.

This was a great end to such a great series. These books are
so well written and the storyline is unique. I love her take on
how Eden and Evad(that’s us humans for those not in the
know) both excited together. But a great injustice was done
so many years ago that Eden became a myth to us. And
how there is this other race lining in Eden with all these cool
powers. But some powers come with a price.
Take Luden our hero in this book he is caring a burden that
he will not share with his Malren(King) or even his dad. But
one day everything changes. The day they carried a broken
and beaten little Benna into the palace. It is a big surprise for
Luden, and his whole world changes. He is the Malren's
protector and best friend but now there is this young woman
that he finds himself drawn to. He would do anything for her
and dose. But when he finds there is something special
about Benna, she seems to have a calming affect on him
something he has not felt in over 100 years. Then there is
Brenna the heroin of the story. I felt so badly for all that has
been done to her. I wanted to resurrect Maxsis and kill him
again for all he had done to her. But despite all this she is a
lot more well adjusted than most held prisoner by a mad
man for 15 years. She is one tough woman now as she
fought and lived through all this. And then there are the
bad guys man when they get there’s it is truly something.
Now before I ruin this for you I will leave off here. I hope you
enjoy this book as much as I did. If you do like this book,
please consider leaving a review. The Authors really like it
when you do; they value your opinions too.

Omg! Say it ain’t so! "Eden's Deliverance" is the riveting 4th book, and sadly the last one, but what a grand finale! ... I certainly didn't want this series to end & I’m already going through withdrawals, but I also can’t wait to see what else this talented author will have for us soon! ... What a phenomenal, contemporary PNR must read that grabbed me from the get-go then held on tight beyond those 2 little dreaded words, “The End”! ... Ms. Morgan has a magic touch for weaving a unique spell-binding story, with vivid descriptions and great attention to detail that will transport the reader into the middle of the story’s fantasy world... Well defined, real to life characters, despite the futuristic time period, steamy, smoking hot romance and edge of your seat suspense with twists and turns, kept me glued to my seat and turning pages... Once I started, I did not want to put it down whenever I had to, and then I couldn’t wait to get back to it! ... This novel is so spectacular that I can actually see it being made into a huge box office hit movie! ... If I could, I’d give this 6 stars & I honestly do highly recommend the whole series to fans of fiction! ... For maximum reading pleasure, I strongly recommend reading them in order, even though I haven’t, but it was no problem for me & didn’t affect the quality of reading :D ... I volunteered to read an advanced reader copy & all opinions expressed here are completely my own and with no outside influences.

"Eden's Deliverance" by Rhenna Morgan
My Thoughts....
It was really wonderful to read this last Eden series # 4 [with some suspense and danger] where we find the read focused on Brenna Haven and Ludan Forte. This author really works her magic in getting these two together, I liked how it was done with Brenna having had such a tragic life begin kidnapped, raped and at eight turned into a slave by Maxis...now free and then we have Ludan who seemed to have a gift that held some painful consequences [memory stealing gift], so what will become of all of this? As these two are brought together will they be able to heal each other and finally get their HEA? It will be quite a interesting fantasy read as we see the prophecy about Eden was coming to a head and how this new race is created as life that had been extended to these humans. Be ready for a series with some drama, tension, love, tears, fear along with some wonderful well developed characters with gorgeous settings and descriptions of Eden that will keep your attention. I don't want to leave out the hot steamy sex scenes that this author brings out so well to her readers. The reader will get a wonderful ending to a great series. Would I recommend....YES, the hold Eden series!

I admit I didn’t want to read Eden’s Deliverance. Okay, that’s a lie. I couldn’t wait to read the book, but I didn’t want the series to end. It’s been such an enjoyable ride through Eden, I didn’t want to give it up. I finally convinced myself I could handle the book hangover that was sure to come with reading Eden’s Deliverance and cuddled up in my reading chair on a rainy Sunday to devour the book. Hello, book hangover! But what a ride we’ve enjoyed to get here!
The story is just as in depth and full of twists and turns as the previous books in the series. FYI: You’ll need to read the earlier books to understand just what in the heck is going on in this one. I read a lot of books with bad guys, but the bad guys (and girls!) in this book were just pure evil. *Shivers* I admit I didn’t see that ending coming. Not sure I agree with it either, but that’s a different story.
Let’s talk about love. Brenna and Ludan don’t actually know the definition of love. I couldn’t wait to read if they would figure it out or not. I enjoyed watching Brenna evolve from the scared and scarred girl into a young woman of substance. Ludan was a major grump. He’s got his reasons and when you discover them, you may just fall in love with the big lug of a man.
I recommend this book to lovers of fantasy or anyone who loves a good in-depth story. Take the day off work and dig in. You won’t regret it. Promise.

Marie's Tempting Reads ARC Review:
Eden's Deliverance was WONDERFUL! It was a great ending to a series that has intrigued me since the start and I am forever grateful I had a chance to read this story. The story is truly captivating with the sweet characters and the very unique realm that was created. Rhenna Morgan did a heck of a job with this last book. Brenna and Ludan were such a fantastic couple. The sparks that flew from them when ever they came together was so energizing. I loved turning the pages, wondering what was going to happen next. There were enough twists and turns to have me left me on the edge.
The story was not only sweet, but surprisingly sultry and sexy too. It had a hint of suspense and danger that definitely had me on the edge, but the romance is what REALLY stole my heart! I am looking forward to seeing what will come next with Miss Morgan!
Eden's Deliverance gets a SULTRY AND EXCITING FIVE SHOOTING STARS! It was a great finale and I loved every second of it.

This is the 4th book of this series. If you have not read the other books in this series, I strongly suggest that you go read them first. This book has many things going on and many characters that play important part to the story. Plot Brenna wants desperately to return to earth. She wants to see her mother again, but she holds the key to the ancient prophecy. Ludan is a powerful warrior who has a special gift that leaves him in constant torment accept when he is with Brenna. Brenna is his hope and he will do everything in his power to protect her even if it means breaking his vow to his king and long time friend. I enjoyed this story, but it has many characters so you need to pay attention to the details. The chemistry between Brenna and Ludan is passionate. The pacing is good, but this is not a light easy read. The story has a wonderful ending with good character development.

Fate is the life we’re given. Destiny is what we do with it.
Captured as a child and forced into slavery by the Rebellion’s leader, Brenna Haven was raised in near isolation with the utmost cruelty. She knew nothing of kindness or compassion until Fate orchestrated her rescue. Finally free, she wants nothing more than to return to her home. To reconnect with her human family and live a simple, quiet life. But her newfound powers demand an entirely different future. One fraught with danger and a terrifying role in an ancient Myren prophecy.
A battle-hardened warrior and sworn bodyguard to the king, Ludan Forte wields a powerful, memory stealing gift. But his skill comes with a price. A torturous burden he’s hidden since his awakening over a hundred years ago. He never dreamed he’d find relief, let alone be tempted to forgo his vows to the king. Yet in Brenna’s sweet beguiling presence, the weight he bears is lifted. And when her role in the prophecy threatens her life, he’ll stop at nothing to keep her safe.

Both characters in Eden’s Deliverance was broken, I think that is why this book was my favorite in the series. A torturous gift has Ludan isolate himself from others…but in order to protect the Myren and his people, he must use his gift to protect them.
Brenna who was capture as a child and isolated and used by a mad man, was now free. But to Brenna she won’t be truly free, until she is reunited with her parents. And only one person could help fulfill her wish.
Eden Deliverance delivered on all score with a well-developed set of characters. As this reviewer turned the last page, it finally hit me that it was over, all the stories has been told and it was finally time to let go of characters that was beginning to seem real.

***5 ‘This. Is. Hope.’ Stars***
I have such a Love/Hate relationship with this book!
I adored Ludan and Brenna (Well, Ludan a tinsy bit more because it’s Ludan) and hate that it’s the last one (I really, really, REALLY want Jagger to have his own HEA...maybe a novella??? :D) But, it is what it is, so on with the review…
Eden’s Deliverance is the finale to the Eden series and a huge weight has fallen on Brenna’s shoulders. The prophecy has stated that she is the key and the decision lies with her. She’s less than thrilled at the knowledge because she now feels as if she found herself in another prison. My heart hurt for Brenna. All she wanted was to live life on her own terms, but that road had quite a few roadblocks she had to traverse, but traverse them she did. I’ll admit that there were a few times when I got a bit frustrated with Brenna, but after remembering all that she endured I realized that she deserved to discover the woman she wanted to be. It was definitely an interesting journey to be on with her and I spent much of the time thinking “The grass isn’t always greener” but I loved the woman she was always meant to be. Sassy, strong, compassionate, loyal and with a few insecurities to remind us all of her humanity.
Ludan I adored. Not that it’s a huge surprise considering I mentioned him in each review I did for the books in the series, but I couldn’t help myself. I love the tall, dark, handsome, broody ones because there is always, ALWAYS, more going on underneath the surface and I love watching as the cracks start to show and the truth of what makes their heart is revealed and dear lord did Ludan have a lot going on under the surface. He’s been carrying a heavy load on his broad shoulders, as well as his heart and mind that’s it’s a wonder he hasn’t shattered from the weight of it. But even though he’s the grumpy gus of crew has a, not a marshmallowy inside, but a gentle soul and a compassionate heart.
Their road to their HEA had a few bumps along the way, but most of the extenuating issues were from outside factors (like Serena and Uther’s silly beliefs that they had the right to hold any kind of power) Much of their journey dealt with both of them working through their own personal demons and taking off the blinders to see what was right in front of them and once they did things got a lot more interesting. While Ludan was the epitome of the over protective alpha male he wasn’t an asshat. He gave Brenna what she needed to grow. And Brenna was no doormat. She stood up to and for Ludan. Their interactions were fun and sexy as sin (Either have an Arctic bath ready or your B.O.B) but I loved how they ended up healing each other, but bringing out the best in each other.
Everything ended up as it should have, though I still feel that going with the whole gutting Serena with a spoon thing would have been better (sorry she irritated me a lot lol), but she did get what she deserved in the end, so I’m good. I really am sad that this is the end of series because it was a fun ride, I never would have imagined Eden to be like this, but I’m going to keep my toes crossed that one day Ms. Morgan will find the inspiration and time to give Jagger his own HEA, even if it is only a novella, because he comes in right behind Ludan on my list.

So I just finished Rhenna Morgan's Eden's Deliverance and it is official:
She is a goddess of epic proportions. This woman is one of my favorite authors of all time.
I have been following her "Eden Series" since I haphazardly stumbled on the first book Unexpected Eden via an Amazon recommendation that was delivered to my email account.
I took a chance and one-clicked. Low and behold: this bookworm has been hooked on her writing ever since.
The concept surrounding supernatural elements and romance novels have beguiled me since high school so my interest was immediately piqued when I read the blurb for the first book.
Ms. Morgan has managed to create a unique and special combination of the two; an entirely different universe than any that you have experienced before in terms of paranormal romance.
Notably, these books have their own glossary of terms that accompany the books. That is only a small testament to how different The Eden Series is from most of the other romance novels in the game right now.
Eden's Deliverance is the fourth and final book in Ms. Morgan's Eden's series. It chronicles the last episode in a tale of love and war. One where an old enemy fosters an effort to end life as the Myrans (aka the residents of Eden) know it in the pursuit of revenge and the spirit of revolution.
This is a story of a legendary prophecy and how one female has the power to make the events mentioned in said prophecy come to pass.
Brenna, the heroine was enslaved by the leader of the "rebellion." Sadly, she has been unbearably victimized and forced to endure unspeakable acts from a monster in order to avoid his wrath and save her own life.
The hero, Ludan Forte is a somo (bodyguard to the King). This handsome, powerful warrior is a man who is a true force to be reckoned with in the everyday dynamic of the Myran way of life. He is a primal being, an alpha, and a true warrior at heart yet he never fails to remain gentle and considerate in his interactions with Brenna.
This is because he has the ability to absorb the memories of others without their prior consent. As such, he is privy to Brenna's deepest, darkest secrets and the depths of the pain that she experienced while she was forced into a life servitude filled with unspeakable abuse.
What follows is a truly incredible journey. It is the the story of two lovers who each bear their own set of scars from their pasts and what it takes to make them eventually acknowledge the fact that they need each other to embark on the road to healing.
It is the story of hope that transcends a world filled with hate.
This story will own a piece of you, just as it captured a piece of me.
My GAWD!
I can not say enough about how wonderful this series is and how deeply it moved me.
Who would not want to live in Eden? Over the course of four books Ms. Morgan manages to immerse the reader into a veritable paradise.
A world filled with unparalleled plant and animal life and vivid color.
One that truly stimulates the senses.
Everything about Eden will solidify the reader's desire to believe in the power of Mother Nature, the inherent goodness of the individual spirit when one chooses to side with good over evil and the power of everlasting love.
This utopia is an exclusive dimension ; a place where its residents possess the power to fly, heal and foster physic connections with loved ones that allow for telepathic communication via mind reading.
In Eden warriors and royalty alike have the ability to master and manipulate elements like fire, earth, wind and air.
Then there is the concept of otherworldly love.
One that is so strong and pure that it can not possibly occur on Earth because it is impossible for it exist outside of the bounds of a heavenly kingdom like Eden.
The way these men love their women will make you damn near hit the floor.
Ms. Morgan conveys these passionate, unbreakable connections between the lead characters in a manner that truly sets a precedent. One that will make you wish that you could transport yourself to Eden and find your own hero or heroine to establish a legacy with.
The intensity, the raw lust and sexuality in this series is achingly beautiful.
These men treasure their women. They place them on a pedestal and cherish them with unwavering loyalty. Their dedication to their partners is at the forefront of their every thought and deed. The connection that they share with their mates is plain hypnotic and arousing.
It will take your breath away.
The men from Eden own their women in every since of the word.
They make it their business to master the intricacies of their partners' bodies.
But first and foremost, they pride themselves on their ability to own their hearts.
As I read the last words of Eden's Deliverance sadness detonated in my chest.
My heart wept a little.
I have yet to encounter a paranormal series that moved me as deeply as this one did.
I was on cloud nine the entire time even though the road to the last page of this book was filled with periods of emotional unrest that had me angry or afraid one minute and then overwhelmed with warm fuzzy feelings or straight up ready to get my groove on in between the sheets the next.
These four couples mean the world to me.
I worried for these characters and rooted for them while they were engaged in battle.
I cheered when these lovers solidified their bonds via Eden's version of a marriage ceremony.
I gasped because of how Ms. Morgan was able to write such arduous, compelling love scenes that were in no means dirty but no less raw in their intensity and sensual appeal.
Damn!!!
If there was really as a real-life Eden hidden somewhere I would move heaven and earth to get there to find a swoon-worthy warrior of my own!
Do NOT miss out on this spectacular series.
Eden's Deliverance is a standalone but I highly recommend that you read Unexpected Eden, Healing Eden and Waking Eden (in that order) beforehand to get a full grasp of how amazing and remarkable Rhenna Morgan's body of work truly is from start to finish.
When it comes to paranormal romance it does not get any better than this!!
Read IT!
That's my final word.
Overall rating for the entire series: 5 Heartbreakingly beautiful stars.
Heat: 5 stars all around.
ARC received for an honest, uncompensated opinion.

This utopia is an exclusive dimension ; a place where its residents possess the power to fly, heal and foster physic connections with loved ones that allow for telepathic communication via mind reading.
In Eden warriors and royalty alike have the ability to master and manipulate elements like fire, earth, wind and air.
Then there is the concept of otherworldly love.
One that is so strong and pure that it can not possibly occur on Earth because it is impossible for it exist outside of the bounds of a heavenly kingdom like Eden.
The way these men love their women will make you damn near hit the floor.
Ms. Morgan conveys these passionate, unbreakable connections between the lead characters in a manner that truly sets a precedent. One that will make you wish that you could transport yourself to Eden and find your own hero or heroine to establish a legacy with.
The intensity, the raw lust and sexuality in this series is achingly beautiful.
These men treasure their women. They place them on a pedestal and cherish them with unwavering loyalty. Their dedication to their partners is at the forefront of their every thought and deed. The connection that they share with their mates is plain hypnotic and arousing.
It will take your breath away.
The men from Eden own their women in every since of the word.
They make it their business to master the intricacies of their partners' bodies.
But first and foremost, they pride themselves on their ability to own their hearts.
As I read the last words of Eden's Deliverance sadness detonated in my chest.
My heart wept a little.
I have yet to encounter a paranormal series that moved me as deeply as this one did.
I was on cloud nine the entire time even though the road to the last page of this book was filled with periods of emotional unrest that had me angry or afraid one minute and then overwhelmed with warm fuzzy feelings or straight up ready to get my groove on in between the sheets the next.
These four couples mean the world to me.
I worried for these characters and rooted for them while they were engaged in battle.
I cheered when these lovers solidified their bonds via Eden's version of a marriage ceremony.
I gasped because of how Ms. Morgan was able to write such arduous, compelling love scenes that were in no means dirty but no less raw in their intensity and sensual appeal.
Damn!!!
If there was really as a real-life Eden hidden somewhere I would move heaven and earth to get there to find a swoon-worthy warrior of my own!
Do NOT miss out on this spectacular series.
Eden's Deliverance is a standalone but I highly recommend that you read Unexpected Eden, Healing Eden and Waking Eden (in that order) beforehand to get a full grasp of how amazing and remarkable Rhenna Morgan's body of work truly is from start to finish.
When it comes to paranormal romance it does not get any better than this!!
Read IT!
That's my final word.
Overall rating for the entire series: 5 Heartbreakingly beautiful stars.
Heat: 5 stars all around.
ARC received for an honest, uncompensated opinion.

I received this book from net gallery for an honest review.
Wow this book completely blew me away: it was absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations in every way imaginable.
Brenna was captured, enslaved and defiled by the Rebellion Leader. She's destined to play a pivatol role in the Myren prophecy - but is she strong enough to fight for what she wants?
Ludun has the power to steal others memories but what price does he pay for using his power for the greater good? He's drawn to Brenna and she brings peace to his very soul. His gift is not a burden when she's nearby but when her life is threatened by Selena, he's determined to protect her.
Ludun is tormented by the memories he steals but Brenna's mere presence brings peace, and comfort into his life - but what does it mean?
Ludun is a ferocious warrior but he's a gentle giant around Brenna. When he convinces himself that Brenna could never want a man like him: I felt like hugging him - can he get anymore sweeter!
I liked Brenna, she's determined to get Ludun and does everything possible to get his attention. When she asks the others what it feels like to be kissed, my heart broke for her.
Their chemistry was mind blowing yet intense and I loved his primal, animalistic side: it was hot as hell. His intensity throughout literally gave me goosebumps.
I loved the story, the emotional depths/intensities of the characters and their explosive chemistry. The plot was exciting yet gripping and I was hooked from beginning to end. Rhenna has truly outdone herself and surpassed all my expectations. I would definitely recommend this book.

October 6, 2016This is book 4 in a series and I had not read the previous 3 books. During the first few chapters I was pretty lost. However, thanks to good writing by the author I quickly became immersed in the world she created. THE characters were big and bold and likable. I felt for the hero and the heroine and rooted for them to succeed. I will definitely follow up with other books by this author. She will definitely go on my top 10 authors.. I think my enjoyment would have been even greater if I had read the first 3 books so I recommend that you do that. But I DEFINITELY CAN RECOMMEND Eden’s Deliverance.

My favorite of the four. Wish the ending was a little bit more expanded, but good none the less. Brenna & Ludan are my faves. But maybe I'm a little biased!

Disclaimer: I won this book on Goodreads.
This fantasy story had well-described scenery and a good plot. The characters seemed well-written, but I did have trouble figuring out who was who in the beginning. I would have had an easier time, and probably would have enjoyed the book more, if I had read the first three books in the series. Also, I did not read the book straight through in a few days, but over a period of 50+ days, so I kept forgetting how everybody was connected. The glossary at the beginning was very helpful. The ending seemed kind of rushed for the climax of a four book series.
Note: The book contains some graphic sex scenes and language.

This is the fifth and final book in the series and they must be read in order. I am so sad that this series has ended, I love it so much. The series had a great ending though. Brenna was rescued a while ago by Eryx and his men. She was healed after being healed on instinct they realized that it changed her. She now has abilities like some of the other myren people. Ludan has been living with a secret. He has the ability to take people’s memories. What no one knows what that ability costs him. Brenna is part of the proficy and Ludan will do whatever it takes to protect her. Brenna wants nothing more to than to figure out what she wants out of life and what she doesn’t. She was captive for so long and now this. They both deny that anything is happening between but for different reasons. Will they get it together in time or will they miss their chance? Ludan is fantastic and so is Brenna. Both of them have been through so much and now their one chance at love may slip through their fingers before they even really get a chance at it. Ludan is different with Brenna. He is gentler and tries where with everyone else he is all business. Brenna is scared and frustrated. She loves all her new friends but she also wants to go back to her parents and get her life back. I love how you get to read about all the characters in each book. I want this series to continue on so badly. The ending was nice and wrapped everything up. There were some surprise. I don’t to give anything away but you must read this series.

What a way to end an amazing story. I definitely would not want to be the one to decide the fate of Eden however. That all landed on Brenna's shoulders. She was kidnapped when she was little by none other than the enemy of Eden. The man responsible for the Rebellion against the king, the kidnapping of the queen, her enslavement since childhood and much more. Once free and her life saved by the kind himself her life is never the same. She can't go back to her family because of all the media attention Eden had. It could cause more drama that she just does not want to deal with. Then add in the broading of Ludan, what else can she deal with? Ludan has been the king's protector for as long as he can remember. He can also claim anyone's memory with a touch, but that comes at a cost to him. One he hasn't shared with anyone. The connection between these two is immense. Brenna is not sure where it is going, and with the abuse she suffered is not sure she can go forward with it. Ludan can only feel calm and quiet when he is around Brenna. At first he can't explain it or understand it, since she is "human". How is that possible that she could help him? Little does everyone know, that she is more than just a human they saved. She holds the end to the war in her hands, and when the time comes she will have to make the decision on which way things will go for human and Myren alike.

Brenna Haven was kidnapped as a child and forced into slavery until she is set free. Not sure how she fits into the world that she was captured in she can't help but want to go back where she came from and live the life she thinks that she is meant to live.
Ludan Forte is a battle-hardened warrior and sworn bodyguard to the king and is willing to do anything to protect his king. Nothing has ever made him question his place in his world until...in walks Brenna.
When Ludan holds Brenna in his arms he feels complete and utter peace and a relief from his torments that has always hunted him. So what's a guy to do when the woman that gives him something he never thought he would deserve asks him for something that would change his life for all time? Read and find out!
When you read this book get ready for a, action packed journey. This book is different from any of the other books in the series because it gives the reader a new level of understanding about their world, their king, the realms that surround them... and well just about everything!!!!
I really loved this book. I loved the chemistry between Ludan and Brenna, I liked how somehow they were both so strong in their own way, but equally weak in other ways. I felt like together they were even stronger than they ever could have been alone.
Overall great book. Great job Rhenna Morgan!

I hadn’t realised going into Eden’s Deliverance that this would be the last book in the series, but the story lacked nothing in its intensity, depth of plot and the wealth of fabulous characters that have continued to keep this reader coming back for more!
Ludan has been a favourite of mine since early on in the series and I was ecstatic that he finally got his very own story, and it was a natural progression that he would be drawn to a fractured female like Brenna. That said, the author did a wonderful job of telling of Brenna’s transformation from a broken, tortured soul, to the enchanting and vibrant young woman she became under the protective eye of the hardened warrior with a alleged gift, that has been more of a grueling affliction for over 100 years.
While I read the last page with a heavy heart, the author has penned an exciting and addictive series that will definitely be on my re-read list for the future.

Brenda. Has seen the future and it has her trembling . Brenda doesn't want to face it .
Ludan is a deep soul always trying to be one step ahead of everything . Brenda thinks that Ludan is always mad at her .
The other story in this is someone is trying to grab the power in Eden that Eryx has . Their is a traitor in the mist that is feeding the evil one . Grab it and see who it it. . Here is a little teaser just to wet your whistle
“Tell you what.” Ludan sat up as tall as his binds would allow. “How about I share what we know of the prophecy. You compare my story to Serena’s
, and we’ll see just how forthcoming the little snake’s been this time.”
