4.5 stars

I’m sure I mentioned this before, the novellas within a series are often hit and miss with me. So far, this author has been hitting it out of the park with her “filler” stories. Not one of them have been a misstep. In fact, they get me even more excited about this series as a whole and have featured beloved favorite characters I want to see get their HEA.

Although we haven’t seen Lily and Caleb in the same room often throughout this series, there have been hints dropped so the reader knows they have a past. In fact, Caleb isn’t seen much at all since he considers himself a soldier/fighter/protector and not a prophet so tends to stay away from headquarters. (Another thing I love about this series is that I truly feel the connections between all the characters, not just the romantic connections. As to Caleb not feeling as though he’s a true prophet, Dage has some very wise words and helps Caleb come to a sort of understanding as to his role in all of this war and peace.)

Since this is a pretty short and quick read, I can’t say much without giving too much away. As always, Rebecca Zanetti gives breadcrumbs that will have you knowing some things ahead of time. The fun is always in how she fits all those crumbs together at the end. On top of her spot-on story-telling skills, she also writes fantastic chemistry. This time I’m talking about the romantic and sexual type of chemistry. Hot, hot, hot…yet still staying quite romantic and swoon-worthy.
