This is a cute, fun short story perfect for Valentine’s Day. There are plenty of laughs, sexy times, intrigue, suspense, and mystery as Emily and her men dive into the investigation of the missing royal jewelry. The characters are engaging and the storyline is entertaining. Definitely worth a quick read.

a reverse harem mixed with a mystery. The scenes between Emily and her men are hot and creatively described. In between love lives, Emily searches for the princesss missing necklace. Everything is not what it seems but that does not detract from the love that can be felt between the pages (or is it between the sheets)

Beloved Heart is a short story about Emily, Alistar, Ben and Luther who are on a mission for the Royal Family to find a stolen necklace. There is a lot going on in this short story that is filled with mystery, humor, suspense and unexpected twists. This can be read as a standalone but I recommend you read the first two books in the series.
Love this author so glad she’s done a short story
Really enjoyed the characters
The world was awesome and the continued chemistry

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. Beloved Heart is a short story based on the characters from Abandoned Heart. In this story Emily, Luther, Alistar and Ben are asked to track down a necklace stolen from the Royals. The characters and storyline are great. Theres some mystery, laughs and a lot of heat. I really enjoyed reading more about Emily and her men. I would recommend this story to be read after Abandoned Heart just because you will really have gotten to know the characters. You wont regret getting both books!

Someone has stolen one of the Royals diamond necklaces and it is up to Emily and her men to find it before anyone notices it is missing.
It is almost Valentine’s Day and Emily and the guys get a call about a missing diamond necklace. No problem. Meet Royalty. Welcome back two of the guys who have been away on business. Find the necklace and nab the culprit. Celebrate Valentine’s Day.
Except nothing about the case is as it seems.
Skye MacKinnon gives us a racy novella with Beloved Heart (9781793927248, 2019), a spin-off of the first novel Abandoned Hearts in her “Defiance” series. It all starts with a red bow for Valentine’s Day and it ends with a red bow. One cannot ask for more to celebrate this holiday with (laugh – today is Valentine’s Day).
There is a mystery, a red herring, Royalty, and a very “hot” welcoming home party for Emily’s men. MacKinnon ends up giving us the gift for the Valentine’s with Beloved Heart.
I received an ARC of this book and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
A Valentine’s Day Spin-Off (Defiance, #1.5) a well written short that kept me turning pages. A necklace theft takes Luther and Emily to the Balmoral grounds where they stay in a cabin. Alistair and Ben being out of town can get to the train where the theft took place, they all meet up at Balmoral. This story has its twists and turns. I did not see that happening. I enjoyed reading it. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I confess I haven’t read Abandoned Hearts, but now I really need to.
Right from the first page, this book heats up and I got a kick out of Emily’s reaction to Luther’s get-up. Although it was also a bit rude of him to dress that way and tell her she had to get up when she really needed more sleep.
He does make it up to her in a very chocolatey way.
As Luther and Emily begin the investigation at Balmoral, Ben and Alistair head to Aberdeen to check out the train.
Plenty of twists in this one and I think my kindle started melting in my hand with the heat coming off the pages with these four.
Looks like the other two books in the Defiant series will be on my TBR pile shortly.

by Skye MacKinnon
Thanks to Skye MacKinnon for the complimentary eARC. I am choosing to leave a fair and honest review.
This is the perfect latte of a book – hot, steamy, sweet, and frothy, but not meant to be a solid meal!
The mystery that acts as the MacGuffin to get things moving is wrapped up in a matter of paragraphs and most readers will have solved it.
The sex scenes are interesting, lengthy and sizzling. They are also the only reason to read this story.
Ms. MacKinnon says that this can be read as a stand-alone. That’s how I came to it. Unfortunately, I don’t know a lot about the characters, because they really aren’t going to be fleshed out in something this short.
All in all, for a fun short read with hot males and their love, this is a good go. Anything deeper? Skip the latte.
4 stars out of 5

This short little story made me want more of Emily and her men. Woah was it intriguing. You have smexy times and mystery. Emily and Luther are waiting on Alistair and Ben to get back on their mission when they are called in for another. Top priority!! They need to find a stolen necklace for the Princess. The clues don’t add up! So do they find the necklace? Who is the culprit? Well I for one did not see that coming. However, when Ben and Alistair make it back they still get their smexy time while on the job. This is a perfect short story to read.
This was a fun, quick read, with some fun sexy times. The storyline was just ok, but I enjoyed the characters and their time together.
