Until he completes the mating bond with Evalle, Storm has no way to find her if she’s kidnapped again and preternaturals are actively hunting her in a chaotic Atlanta.

When she’s offered a chance to bring her gryphon back, Evalle jumps at it, determined to heal herself and save her life with Storm. Too late, Storm realizes he’s made a deadly mistake by bringing his mate with him.

WOW! High energy action and suspense this story will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first page to the last. Evalle and Storm have been through hell together and apart but we have never questioned their love for one another. This story tests them both in ways that left me breathless. I absolutely adore this series and was thrilled to my toes with this installment. I’m sure it will be a favorite for years to come.
Dianna Love’s stories always leave me speechless. I feel like this one had an even more profound impact because it has been a long time coming. Storm and Evalle have always been special. To see them get this story, and to have it done so well, gives me the warm, fuzzy feelings you get when you see people you love happy. I’ve been rooting for them since the beginning of the series, and when I looked back to see when that was, I realized I’ve known them longer than some of my close friends in “real” life.
This novella packed the punch of a novel. Taking Evalle and Storm out of Atlanta for this book was a great decision. I liked seeing the different culture and more of Storm’s heritage and family. The way Love brought Evalle into the story was genius. I was wondering how things were going to play out, because she was in quite the pickle, and I didn’t think it was a good time for a vacay, but of course, Dianna made it work.
I’ve probably said it before, but I’ll say it again. You can’t go wrong with a Dianna Love book, especially the Belador Series. The stories are strong, the characters are captivating, and it’s easy to become enamored with them. Now is a great time to jump into the Belador world. Each book can stand on it’s own, but they are all so magnificent, do yourself a favor and binge this series.
As a side note, I also listened to the audiobook of this story. It was wonderful! The narration was perfect. I love when a narrator comes through crystal clear, and adds in a little extra allure to a good story. I don’t think any performance could have been better than the one Stephen Thorne did. So don’t be afraid to check out the audiobook as well.
Wow! I’ve been waiting for Evalle and Storm to complete their mating bond, and it was so worth it! I enjoyed getting to met some of Storm’s family members and learning more about them in this story. My emotions were all over the place with this one, so I know I’ve read a great book!
Ms. Love really knows how to keep the interest of her readers. Her stories are filled with so much action and adventure. Then add in the characters and all the details of the supernatural world in the Belador series and it always keeps me reading. I can’t wait to see what Ms. Love has for us next.
I was gifted a digital copy of this book from the author and also purchased a paperback copy.
This is book 10.5 in the Belador series and it features Evalle and Storm. The story takes place after Evalle’s kidnapping and deals with the heartbreaking consequences of that event. Evalle and Storm have a love like no other but right now, bonding is the big question. As they travel to Arizona to help Storm‘s uncle, these two will be put to the ultimate test.
This story line was awesome! The mystery, suspense and action had me on the edge of my seat. The characters were fantastic and many had hidden depths that were not expected. I can’t wait to read more from this fabulous series!
Such a wonderful book.
Evalle was rescued and now has trouble with her powers, as in they are disappearing. Storm wants to bond hoping it will bring her Griffin back. She doesn’t want to bond because she doesn’t want to harm Storm with her damaged powers. Strange lines appear on Evalle’s body. Storm and Evalle go back to Atlanta to see if that will help. Then they go to Arizona to help Storm’s uncle with a suspicious death and in the process almost loose each other. But it does allow Evalle a chance to find out to believe in herself again.
As always Dianna has sucked me into the Belador world and made me hoping for more.
Dianna is an awesome author and i can’t wait until I can read another book from her. Keep up the great work.
Evalle is losing her powers. Each day she is weaker. Even though she’s been rescued the aftermath of her imprisonment continues to effect her. Evalle won’t endanger Storm by bonding with him. It showed her true character that she wanted to protect her mate. These two belong together. I didn’t want their connection to be broken. I wanted Evalle to find her gryphon and be the strong Belador warrior that she had been. Storm is very protective of Evalle. I was impressed how he tried not to hover. I know that was difficult for this Skinwalker. Can they work together to heal her? This is an exciting story. It’s filled with surprising twists. Evil surrounds them and it’s putting a vulnerable Evalle in danger. I loved that Storm will risk everything to save his woman. I felt his pain and I was sorry. Dianna Love has done it again. I couldn’t stop reading Evalle and Storm.
I received a copy of this book which I voluntarily read and review. My comments are my honest opinion.
I feel like I’ve been waiting for this book forever, and it was so worth the wait! Storm and Evalle face powerful struggles, both internally and from outside forces (but then, what else is new for our heroes?). But the ending will take your breath away!
Love, Love, Loved it! I totally adore the Belador Series by Dianna Love. This is book 10.5 in the series and this adventure takes Evalle and Storm to his father’s native birth place to help out his uncle. Evalle, Storm, Feenix and some of the wonderful characters from previous books join them in this book. I finished the book in one day, it is a fast paced, page turner and I couldn’t put it down. You have suspense, magic and a look into Storm and his father’s past that is very enlightening. If you love the Belador Series, this a must read! Can’t wait for the next book…keep them coming!
Dianna Love never disappoints! Oh my gosh the angst in this chapter of Evalle and Storms life is so poignant that not only are their hearts breaking so is yours! These are characters that you cannot help but love and want their trails and tribulations (even though some are of their own making) to end and a happily ever after be theirs…..finally! Best Books Ever!!
It’s only been 10 books in the making, but fate still decided to mess with Evalle and Storm. However, even ever everything they’ve been through, their love shines through.
I honestly cried reading this book because I’ve followed their journey from the beginning, and so glad they’ve find their HFN – happy for now. I’m excited to see what the spin-off/next ARC in the journey has, not just for Evalle and Storm, but the whole Treoir family.
This book was such an exciting read, we are given so much information in this book about Evalle and Storm, and even though it’s more a short story than a full sized novel, it really took it’s characters through an epic whirlwind of emotions. There is murder and mayhem as they go to the other side of the country to discover more about Storm’s family, while Evalle is still looking to find a way to make herself whole again before she bonds with Storm.
I so love this series, as each new story takes you on a different path of enlightenment and discovery. Each book shows us more about the Belador’s and the supernatural world that Storm and Evalle live in and how they protect the human world from the evil that comes to try and destroy us.
This book does really focus on Storm and Evalle’s relationship, how they connect with each other and how they both try to protect each other from the bad stuff, but it’s not always the best way to go, because sometimes hiding things only make things worse.
Dianna Love has written another great story that held me captive, I was taken on such an emotional journey with Storm and Evalle as they decide if bonding is the right thing for them whilst fighting against evil, as they already have a love that is eternal.
I really enjoyed this story about Storm and Evalle. Two people with preternatural gifts in Treor with other with Belador powers congregate. Evalle had recently been saved from a demonic area which caused her death and which the now leader Tristan brought her back to life. Evalle who is a gryphon shifter ho has lost her gryphon and has mysterious black lines appearing on her body. Storm a man who is both a skinwalker and a jaguar is Evalle’s mate. He longs to heal her completely. While back stateside he want to fully bond with Evalle and avoid his uncle’s text however in honor of his deceased father he must answer and find out what he wants.
This is just a brief summary of what is happening in Storm and Evalle’s path to romance and bonding forever. This author i fast becoming one of my favored author and I cannot wait to see what she creates next.
Yes I received a complimentary copy by voluntarily choosing to read an advance copy but this in no way mean that I have been compensated for this honest opinion. It is my own it is for you to decide whether or not you agree with it.
Dianna Love has written this lovely series and continues to do it. I love Evalle and the way she’s been written and how her story continues to be amazing. The story has a good flow to it and leaves you desiring more of the story till you finish it. She doesn’t leave you disappointed while reading the book. There is plenty of action and romance in this book. It keeps you on the edge of your seat as your getting further into the story.
Evalle has just come back to life and trying to figure out what her life is now. It’s difficult with her gryphon not coming when she wanted to call on it. It’s driving her nuts how everyone is treating her as if she’s fragile. She wants to go home and wants to be with her mate. Yet, she hasn’t told Storm that she’s struggling with her powers. Things in Atlanta are heating up when they get home and Storm wants to keep her safe without suffocating her. Taking her to Arizona he tries to keep Evalle safe while helping his uncle.
It shows Evalle’s struggles with being suffocated and Storm’s wanting to protect what he had almost loss. Evalle can’t imagine sacrificing Storm’s life to help her own by mating with him if it was even possible. So a chance to get her powers back she jumps at it without thinking about it. The murders Storm’s is trying to figure out leads him to realize that he may have brought his mate into more danger than what she was back in Atlanta.
I love Evalle, and her journey with Storm was worrisome and yet it was exciting. I worried about Evalle with the condition she was but everyone has to over come their demons. Dianna writes it in such a way that you feel for Storm and you feel for Evalle. I definitely would recommend this book to my friends. It’s fun and exciting.
Emotional issues and tough decisions are a constant in the latest Belador story, where a beloved couple must live through way too many challenging incidents. From the first time I met Evalle, I knew she was a person who never gives up. Yet what she must face in this book has her questioning the path her life has taken. But with Storm by her side, the journey is never one she has to take alone, even when she tries to keep him from being harmed. Dianna Love gives Evalle and Storm many hurdles to overcome once again, and their devotion to one another is a beautifully told romance.
Although Storm is not normally in contact with his Navajo uncle, his relative’s call has him deciding a trip to the reservation is necessary. Since Evalle is having a difficult time with numerous personal troubles after her recent kidnapping, he does not want to leave her behind and she agrees to accompany him. The jaguar shifter has mentioned many times that they need to bond, yet she fears whatever is weakening her Belador powers plus made her ability to change into a gryphon disappear would negatively affect her mate. Storm hopes getting Evalle away from Atlanta will keep her safer from the malicious preternaturals roaming the area, and there might even be a chance his father’s people could help her in some way. But what awaits the couple could add to their obstacles instead of lessening them.
EVALLE AND STORM has heart-stopping action and genuinely conveyed emotions. I never knew whether a situation would get better for the couple, or if events would turn worse. These two have experienced a variety of circumstances in the past, some joyous and others only filled with painful suffering. In this book which concentrates on their current adventure which takes place in Arizona, each is looking to find the truth and a perhaps a possible solution. Evalle wants her capabilities back, while the assistance of Storm is needed to resolve a bizarre death. While they may have their own agendas, their thoughts are repeatedly on what the other needs, not their individual worries. I have always liked how the couple care more for the welfare of their mate than what happens to them personally, and never has the statement been truer than in this compelling story. The imagination of Dianna Love has created an original urban fantasy that is totally satisfying.
Belador Series Book 10.5.
Evalle and Storm are determined to leave Treoir for a bit to get some time alone, but a call from Storm’s estranged uncle changes their plans. Several deaths at the reservation have led Storm’s uncle to believe that some sort of magic is involved and the Storm is the tribe’s only hope at finding the truth. However, Storm and Evalle must hide their own supernatural gifts to avoid being seen as the enemy. This book gives Storm a backstory and fills in some of his family’s history.
If you’ve been waiting to find out more about Storm, this is the book for you!
Audio Review:
Stephen R. Thorne has become the voice of the Beladors. He reads the story as a narration and the character’s words as a play. This gives a clear delineation of spoken words vs thoughts or actions.
*Sigh* It is nice to see such an amazing couple come together forever. In typical Ms. Love fashion, that couldn’t happen without a little mystery/suspense and a lot of supernatural action! While not a Belador drama, Storm and Evalle face a new challenge, in addition to Evalle’s recovery from her latest “experience,” that could have ended everything on their road to forever. As she promised, Ms. Love didn’t end their existence but gave them forever in spectacular fashion. Thank you, Ms. Love! And not to be ungrateful, but when is the next Belador book? I’m an admitted addict and don’t want to wait long…
