This is the end of the Shielded Hearts series. I'm sorry to see these characters go...but then I'm always sad to see a good series end. Knowing Elle Keaton there will be another series just as good and maybe some of these will make a pass through. since I own all the books, I can just go visit on my own. I am notorious for reading out of order, when checking my other books, I have found a few more in this series that are still unread...why doesn't that surprise me? There was lots of suspense, adventure and romance in this story. Carsten really surprised me at how he came forward when Beto needed him the most. I would have liked there to have been a bit more interaction with the characters from the other books when they showed up to help. It's still a bit confusing about the two different series that contain some of the same books and the same characters. Some are listed as a part of the Accidental Roots series and others are listed as a part of The Shielded Hearts series. I think that's how I got books that are yet unread that are supposed to be before this one. I tried to be a good girl and read in order:) At any rate, it was a great story, really good connections with the two main characters and I am looking forward to more of Elle Keaton's books. ( )
