I was a huge fan of the original series, but this reunion book lacked the depth and punch of those stories. It really added very little to the series and provided no additional character development. And were is Traed's story? That one I am still waiting for.

A revisit to the Krue Clan from Dara Joy's previous books. In this short story, Deanna introduces the idea of valentines day with some twist to the planet. Just a short read and you would need to be familiar with this author's writings to be able to follow this story.

I enjoyed this short story, but wish it could have been an extended full novel. These characters are so much fun that I can't help but what to know more about what's going on in Rejar and Gian's worlds too.

Cute, but not nearly as good as the 1st 3 in this series. Her books have really gone downhill since she started self-publishing. I keep hoping for a comeback, but no such luck...

"Секс до смърт" в Читанка

В тази новел Дара Джой ни връща отново в Авиара, при Дийна и Лорджин, Трей и Реджар. Лорджин е на път да премине на ново ниво, а Дийна решава да въведе нов празник на Авиара подобен на Свети Валентин, който обаче ще се превърне нещо много по-различно от реашния Свети Валентин. Книжката е малка, забавна и сладка. Единствено не разбирам, защо никога не срещаме Лайлак в тези книги, които авторката е написала след книгата на Реджар.

Cutesy fluff, no substance. The first three books in the series were interesting, the fourth was alright, but the fifth was ridiculous. I continued to the sixth to give it one more chance, and it was rubbish, as well.

Fun to revisit certain characters. Rejar and Traed in particular. The premise of the short story, not so much. (No new characters were introduced.)

My favorite part was Rejar insisting he is to be ravished by MORE than 25 female warriors.

love these Books 📕

It’s sad that there are only 6 books 📚 in this series because it never continued on after that and I still don’t know why that is to this day. But I still enjoy reading all 6 books 📖 🧡😊

Great series!

Love this series, just wondering hint...hint when traed is getting his story? His character has such depth. I love the way each book flows from one to another seamlessly. The writing makes you feel as if you are in their worlds. It would be nice to ketch up with gian and his people. A good writer makes you want to go back and re read and wonder how everyone is doing.

St stooges day

I like the name, but I do not understand why she just did not leave it st Valentine's day. I guess for the humor factor, which was cute. The book is just a general day to day review, nothing major. Again, I felt the ending came from the right field and it just wrapped up without a true finished ending.

I didn't really care for this short installment. Didn't feel like it added anything to the storyline of the Knights of Charl. Oh well.
Maybe Dara will return to writing novel-length stories that continue this series and give fans some closure. Fingers crossed!

I loved visiting with everyone in this book. It took me a while to figure out the title but got a great laugh when I did.

it's uncanny to the extent of a father who wants a child. I applaud Deanna for her ability to be herself even when he isn't in her own world.

Pointless

This was a pointless read. I do not suggest this series and the fact that it is an unfinished series
