Wow! I’m really loving this universe of stories. Tsurk and Regan are the next power couple to fight for the hope of peace. I had forgotten about Tsurk and was so happy to see he was going to star in his own book. For him to find his lady love in snarky, unstable Regan was hilarious. I went through a range of emotions while reading as usual. Thank goodness for a good story that includes sex but doesn’t use it to hold the story together.

Tsurk, an Odex and a Soldier of Hope, from Armstrong, along with a full team is sent into New Rio to rescue the children that Faith had been taking care of prior to being taken by Gar. Tsurk gets all the children out, but was then fired upon and is almost buried when the building collapses. Regan, a princess who escapes her fiance, who tortured her comes into the picture. She has a special power now. I loved reading this story and can’t wait to read more stories about the Soldiers of Hope. What happens in this story covers a lot of different emotions, both up and down. Thank you. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of the book.
These Athenaverse is amazing! We get to see another side of this universe where allies, non-allies, humans and whatever form of alien creature they are are living in one human settlement in harmony. And despite the war, hope still reigns supreme and its there where love blossoms between Tsurk and Reagan. Seemingly complete opposites, one embroiled in sorrow, the other full of hope and in the middle there is love.

Great addition to the Paranormal Romance genre!
The writing draws you in and keeps you involved throughout the whole story, I found myself in love with not only the characters but also the world she created.
The attitudes toward the events that are happening make the story even richer and the characters more relatable.

Again Athena Storm outdoes herself. This is the 2nd book in the “Soldiers of Hope Series” and I loved the first book also. This story does not disappoint.
Regan wakes up in a cryogenic chamber only to find some criminals opening the pod up for the purpose of raping her. Her fiancee was experimenting on her by trying to bring forth her Psionic Powers . She uses these powers to help her escape from them. Tsurk, an Odex soldier who is assigned to bring Faith’s kids from the first book and the refugees back to their camp. In the city Tsurk gathers the kids and as they board the ship they get fired on. To escape Tsurk gives a order to go and leave him behind when the building gets blasted and he is buried under concrete rubble. As Regan heads for the sound of gunfire that she hears hoping to find a way to die quickly, she actually finds him buried under a building and helps to free him. Each has their own beliefs but can the get past them to find something more? This is another story field with strife, emotions, passion and HEA. You have to read this book.

We see more of the different worlds coming together in this installment in ways that make the reader’s imagination run loose with ideas of what may be to come! Faith’s intercultural camp for peace has grown and is thriving to the point where they can rescue other – including the children she had left behind at the school. And while their is still dissent and old hatred among some in the camp, they’ve all melded together well.
Regan finds herself stranded in New Rio, suffering both hallucinations and extreme trauma at the hands of her fiance who had experimented on her to develop psionic abilities. And though the experiments were successful, Regan’s powers can help her defeat those stronger than she, but can’t erase the distrust she has in the world. And she’s not unaware of her beliefs and isn’t quiet about them. So of course she’s paired up with a chatty and fun-loving Odex.
We see more of the camaraderie among the residents, some moments of great hilarity, and others with great sorrow in the face of loss. We get Reapers thrown into the mix, and the Earth First movement thrown into the mix, as they try to destroy the example of different species mixing together with great successes.
Fantastic book. Another great book about Athenaverse! This is my first Soldiers of Hope Book but I have read several of Athena Storm’s books and love each one, they are hard to put down. Wish I had more time to read them.
I was pleasantly surprised when I picked up this book. I had thought originally it would a light and fluffy, quickly read, feel good story. After the first few pages, I quickly realized I was wrong. The writing and story line was more complex than I thought. A part of me jumped for joy as the best stories are always longer, more complex and well-written.
This story does not disappoint. Tsurk and Reagan make for a strong, interesting couple with much to overcome and much hope for a better tomorrow.
The story is complex and tells of their differences and struggles and how they finally grow together as a couple.
Not a quick read, but a good solid story. If you love alien romance story, and this is your first venture in with this author, it can be read as a stand alone and opens you up into a whole new universe!

I really enjoyed this Athena Storm has created an amazing world with many different races vying for dominance and characters you cannot help rotting for. This is a steamy romance with a strong plot.
This was an awesome book that I really enjoyed. The story and characters grabbed me from the beginning and I couldn’t stop reading. I loved the characters and watching them grow together, they were well written and went well together. I found this book amazing with great word building making me feel apart of the story and watching it unfold in front of me. A definite must read for any fan and I can’t wait to read more from this author!!!

Love In A Time Of Sorrow is connected to the Athenaverse series by author Athena Storm. Amazing storyline- gritty and seriously intense. When all you know is darkness, can one give you the hope you so desperately crave, yet fight against. Two completely different individuals fight their way through the maze of life conquering obstacles and themselves. Spicy!!
If you weren’t hooked on this author before you definitely will be now!!
Enjoy!!

HOPE IS A TWO-EDGED SWORD
I received this book for free and am giving my honest and voluntary review
A well-written story of finding hope when all you know is despair. Tsurk shows Regan how to find hope in a time of misery and war. Everyone isn’t what they always seem to be. There are good people and bad.
This a wellwritten and fastpaced story that captivated me from the start. The storyline is entertaining and actionpacked. The characters are wonderful. Can not wait for the next book in this series.
