I loved this story. I read it three times. Enjoyed it each time I read it. I love how they came together. How he drew her out of her shell and showed her how to live again. He her gave her a new purpose in life. It was a beautiful story.
This is Ha’ven and Emma’s story . Ha’ven is fighting the darkness within and let’s no one know what is going on with him even though he is afraid that he will end up hurting and destroying everything . At another meeting and dinner he finds his mate but she is one of the ones that were rescued after being tortured and made to watch the murder of other women . Emma does not speak with anyone but Sara since her fear is so great . But Ha’ven can not leave her alone and does everything he can trying to help her . After trying all he can he decides to just take her to try and win her over ! In Emma’s room a chase happens and Emma fights back but is not able to stop him but Creon and others enter the room to help and sees Ha’ven and then Ha’ven tells them to give him six months and once that is agreed upon he just vanishes with her . This story is so well written and strongly recommend to all !!
Whilst this still has loads of action in the fight against the traitors, I come back to read this when I want a mellower story.
Haven is a Curizan prince and is used to women throwing themselves at him but is determined to stay single and not end up addled like his friends have become. That is until he sets eyes on the human woman Emma who calls to his power like no other.
When Emma refuses to have anything to do with him he doesn’t know what to do and flounders a bit until he sort of kidnaps Emma.
What Emma went through on earth was horrendous but she always seems like a calm oasis even when she is having a meltdown. There is just something about these two that I love, they are a perfect blend together.
I just realized that despite my many rereads of this book, I never left a review.
It was part of the firsts I read after a 15 years break because of a too silly life to be able to open a single book.
As the many books by Mrs Smith, it has plenty of actions, an alpha male who has to convince a reluctant human woman she is his lifetime mate and a woman far away from her planet home who has to make a new life in a so different world full of dangers.
Emma is still struggling with PTSD after her rescue by the aliens from the Valdier world, she went from being a woman tortured by a mad man to a woman kidnapped to an alien planet. She is so lost, she has no more will to live until a man disturbs everything and decides to fight for her, to give her a purpose to live for.
Ha’ven, Prince of the Curizans does not know how long he has until his own power might consume him. He tries to live one day at a time, with the hope to not drag away other lives than him. Then he encounters her, his salvation, the one woman who seems to balance his torture soul, just if she dies, he will too.
Despite the reminiscences of their past sufferings, it was a sweet story, there was little fight about their attraction, Ha’ven taking the time to woo Emma, he gives her a little while to accept his suits.
A different tale from the Valdiers and Sarafins.
