Lera vs Cole and Lera vs River, Love this series.
A dangerous new instructor joins the academy, to takes over Tye's training. Master Han is strong enough to take on Cole and win.
Cole finally snaps. Lera and Tye come to his aid and pay the price. Imprisoned together as punishment, Lera and Tye's resolve to stay away from each other crumbles.
River's distraction, unintentionally costs Lera dearly. Her suffering taps into Cole's and he into hers. He isn't ready, to face the past, will try to protect Lera from hers.
Lera comes to his aid again. She forces him to face his demons. He he forces her to face River, but not alone.
River, always the protector, acknowledges is failure to Lera and Cole. He forces Lera to carryout the punishment he feels he deserves. Knowing that what she suffered was not intentional, Lera does it under duress. River accepts her forgiveness and comfort.
Cole and Arisha come to a truce, both wanting to protect Lera. He has a good idea of what Lera has been up to.
The cracks in the wards are getting larger. Lera needs help. She fears what the influx of magic will do to her males, with the amulets fighting back. She suspects Master Han is more than human. She needs Cole.
Fast paced and steamy. Can't wait for Hide and Seek.
This series is an automatic buy for me. I was lucky to receive an advanced copy, and this is my honest review.
