Tonya’s keen eyes discern far more about Ashure than he intended, and he fears the consequences could be dire.

I adore Ashure! He is funny, street smart, a playful soul but also the biggest heart ever . I love his interactions with Orion and Drago. Unfortunately i wasn’t quite a fan of Tanya. I can’t quite decide why. Ashure is the keeper of lost souls and when one of them escapes, it nearly costs Tanya and Max his life. Overall, it was a fun, interesting read

Tonya Maitland learned early that life could either be an adventure or a tragedy. She left the tragic part of her life behind a long time ago and now focuses on the adventure. Her attempt to be one of the best investigative reporters of all time is taking a bit longer than she had planned, but all of that changes when she travels to the small, sleepy town of Yachats, Oregon.

My review :
When a fairytale pirate lands in our magic-less world, will love be enough to woo his ladylove …
Even if this book is a standalone, I would recommend to anyone to read the whole series as it might help to understand the whole background plot behind this story.
Ashure’s tale is one I have awaited from the very beginning, since he was introduced, he is one character that intrigues and makes you smile.
And what a lovely and sweet tale his story is.
Ashure is the perfect character right out a fairytale book, he is chivalrous, witty, resourceful and dangerous when time needs.
He gives as much as he takes and learning a bit more about him was just a pleasure. He is no complex character with an awful background that changed him in a damaged person. He takes what life threw in his path in stride, making do with it and managing to rise himself with elegance. He never let difficulties affect him, he improved with time and never his good soul was tainted by resentment or greed.
He just needs to find his destined soulmate, the one who will quiet the voices in his heart.
Tonya, having not been raised the classic way, was lost at first when she found herself orphaned as a pre-teens, why she didn’t fit in the system until she met the right person, someone who showed her how she could make a difference and she could rely on others.
And now, after a trip to fantasyland, she is back to the human world and unable to break her great news. Then a guy from nowhere crashing in her kitchen.
From there, it was a fun tale with many interactions, a story of family love, whatever the family is, the one we are born in or the one we create, an account of the weight our actions put on our soul.
I loved the setting of this book was out of the seven kingdoms realm, with Ashure meddling with the humans and his wise view of life.
This one story was less a show of magic and power than a summary of the various ranges of love.
5 stars
