KELDERAN RUNIC WARRIORS BOOK 3Twenty-three years ago, Azalyn Rippak Sulani had the misfortune of falling in love with a prince. It wasn’t long before she was chased away and forced to live a quiet life, working for a merchant family and trying her best to start over. However, after a group of aliens kidnap her and knock her unconscious, Azalyn wakes up in the Kelderan palace and comes … comes face-to-face with the man who broke her heart. Because of certain circumstances, she has no choice but to stay in the palace. But to protect her heart and those she loves, she’s determined to find ways to resist the powerful prince and his secrets.
Prince Keltor tro el Vallen is heir to the Kelderan throne and must put duty above all else. Social connections, especially those with love involved, are dangerous. So when the only female who ever treated him as a man instead of a prince comes storming back into his life, it takes everything Keltor has to keep his distance and resist the lively, straightforward woman. Otherwise, he might start to wish for what he can’t have.
As Keltor and Azalyn start to realize that they fit better together now than in the past, they face a bigger problem. Namely, if a prince marries a commoner, there could be war. Can they find a way to recapture their love and start over? Or, will Keltor’s duty to Keldera trump all?

Another great addition to the Kelderan Runic Warriors. I just loved second chances at love story and this book had it all lies, betrayal, deceit, and of course steamy romance. But that all and since I’m not one to give spoilers you’ll have to check it out for yourself. So looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I voluntarily read and review this ARC no monetary compensation was received the opinions I have expressed are my own.
All in the Family…..
Just more proof that family is everything real one can have. Keep it close.
With his brother having colonized with his human mate to Jasvar and his sister also having escaped there, Prince Keltor is left waiting for the day he will become King of Keldera. Only now that he knows that the love he let get away 23 years ago and their son is under his protection after having been rescued from aliens, he is afraid he might lose her again only this time for good. Will Azalyn open her eyes again and find the only male she has ever loved looking down at her with the love she once thought he had for her and enjoy the company of a 23 year old son, she only glimpsed from afar for all his life?
I so enjoyed the story of Keltor and Azalyn, it was so intriguing and surprising….So much is discovered and the anticipation of that had me rapt and glued to my kindle from beginning to end .
My Thoughts – 5 out of 5 Unicorns – I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I received a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!
The cover is awesome, but I’m partial to purple 🙂
This is the 3rd book in the series, and it is for adults only due to the steamy content. While not mandatory, I highly recommend reading the series in order because it is so much more all together!
Wow who knew royalty could have so many secrets! This book is full of change and revelations that Keldera needs, but there is also a lot of treachery, manipulation, and maneuvering throughout the book. This is Keltor and Azalyn’s story. It includes background and things you won’t see coming. Aza is strong and amazing for all she has endured. Keltor is trying to make change, but he also wants his bride. This story is action packed, and I couldn’t put it down. As always I don’t want to give anything away because that is your adventure in reading.
Jessie Donovan always weaves a fantastic story, and this is my favorite in the series so far. I do believe it will keep getting better. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next because she always surprises me!
I highly recommend to any sci-fi fans who love aliens, romance, battles, and more! I want more of this world!

My Rating: Five Sexy Sci-Fi Stars*****
**Although The Heir can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading the books of the Kelderan Runic Warriors Series in order of release. Donovan does an exceptional job of giving the reader necessary backstory but for maximum enjoyment, this book should really be read after first reading The Conquest: Book 1 and The Barren: Book 2.
I adore science fiction and addicted to steamy romance but throw in a generous helping of thrilling adventure seasoned with heart-pounding danger, and I’m in heaven… especially when it’s not just men saving the day. Yup, this series also has women kicking butt and taking names! I love it! And Jessie Donovan delivered the perfect combination of every single one of these elements – AGAIN! Be still my heart! Obviously, this isn’t my first rodeo with Jessie Donovan, so my expectations were high but Donovan not only met them, she surpassed them! It’s no secret I’ve been a diehard fan of Donovan’s paranormal romance for years, but who knew she could write such fabulous science fiction. And trust me when I say, her first foray into the stars was truly exceptional! I’m completely smitten with the Kelderan Runic Warriors Series.
The Heir is a riveting, fast-paced, exceptionally well-crafted full-length standalone science fiction romance. The narrative is beautifully written in the third person with multiple perspectives, but primary points of view are from the two protagonists, Prince Keltor tro el Vallen and Asalyn Rippak Sulani. The dialogue is smart, snappy, well executed, easy to follow, and flows effortlessly. I was completely fascinated by the premise for this new series but it’s the large diverse cast of engaging characters who literally exploded from the pages, ensnared my imagination and completely captured my heart. Who doesn’t love beautiful, brave, strong-willed warrior heroines and courageous, protective, misunderstood and oh so sexy heroes, right? Don’t get me wrong; I truly enjoy riveting sagas with intense action, adventure, danger, and suspense, but my favorite books are always character-driven storylines and Donovan’s diverse cast of intriguing characters are some of the most engaging I’ve ever read, although I was somewhat hesitant about the male protagonist of The Heir, Prince Keltor tro el Vallen. I wasn’t impressed with Prince Keltor when he was introduced earlier in the series. Actually, that’s an understatement, because I didn’t like him at all. However, I was smitten with beautiful, feisty, independent, commoner Asalyn Rippak Sulani. Where Keltor appeared to be bitter, cruel, aloof, selfish, and entitled, Asalyn impressed me as loyal, dedicated, determined, strong, brave, and intelligent. But I should have known, never judge a book by its cover, especially in a Jessie Donovan story, and that’s all I’m gonna say! lol…
Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! The Heir is a riveting science fiction adventure romance, and like the first book of the series is a story with a unique take on the ‘Battle of the Sexes’. Would I recommend it? You bet and I am but only for adult readers since it does contain some steamy love scenes. If you enjoy stories filled to the brim with action, adventure, danger, space travel, and lots of drama along with hot alpha alien males who think the little woman’s place should always be at home and, of course, a cast of brave, smart, plucky heroines who refuse to be dominated, will never be at home in the kitchen, can take care of themselves, and don’t mind using all their assets, then this book is screaming your name. Oh, and let’s not forget the smokin’ hot romance. *SWOON* After all, this is a Jessie Donovan story we’re talking about! lol…. Will I read this author again? Duh…. Of course! Just as soon as she releases her next book! And finally was I entertained?
Completely! My heart broke for these two remarkable characters but by the end, I was happy, satisfied, and well entertained. Fabulous entertainment and an awesome reader!
Sixteen-year-old Asalyn Rippak Sulani first met Prince Keltor tro el Vallen when he’d been roaming the streets of the capital dressed as a commoner. She’d had no idea at the time that the handsome young man who’d accidentally stepped on her foot was a prince, but his true identity had never mattered to her. Asalyn didn’t care he was the heir to the throne of Keldara, only that she loved him, wanted to become his bride and share a future with the man who had become not only her lover but also her best friend. Even a year later, it was still hard for her to believe that a lowly shopkeeper’s daughter could be loved by a royal prince. She was painfully aware Keltor’s future was not his own, but she still believed in their love. She was confident Keltor would find a way for them to be together – only he didn’t, and she lost everything, her family, her home, and her happy future with the man she loved. Now 23 years later, after being kidnapped, savagely beaten, and nearly killed by a malevolent enemy with evil intentions, fate has thrown Asalyn and Keltor together again with Prince Keltor asking for entrance into her life, effectively destroying her only chance to start her life over on Jasvar. But this time, Asalyn has so much more to protect than just her own heart. Will Keltor fail her again by allowing lies and secrets to come between them? Or is he finally willing to sacrifice everything, including the safety and welfare of his planet, for a future with the only woman he’s ever loved? And if so, can Asalyn find it in her heart to forgive him? We’ll see! We all know fate is a fickle mistress and refuses to be denied, but the journey of these two star-crossed lovers is nothing short of extraordinary. The connection between them literally explodes from the pages – Asalyn fighting for a better life than the one forced upon her and her son, and Keltor trying to balance the welfare of his people with happiness for himself. Sparks fly! Attraction builds! Passion ignites! Oh my! Buckle up, my lovelies! It’s a wild ride!
