A new villain emerges, threatening the peace the immortals crave… third wheel.
Wracked with guilt after her grandfather’s violent death, Sofia Morelli made a sinister pact with an unknown ally. Utilizing her tech ingenuity to plan the ultimate attack against the immortal royals, she begins to realize they might not be the nefarious enemies she believed them to be.
As Heden discovers the new adversaries and learns someone on the Secret Society shares his hacking prowess, he realizes the human, Sofia, might actually hold the key to defeating them. Determined to turn the feisty woman to his side, he employs his jovial nature and seduction skills to win her over. But when their tentative connection turns into something more, Heden understands a coding war isn’t the only thing he could lose to the spunky human. For, he might just lose his heart to someone who can never share his immortal future…
**The Etherya’s Earth series is best read in order so the reader can enjoy the evolution of the characters. After all, the author loves a good twist, and wants the reader to uncover them organically. However, readers of romance rest assured that each book has its own featured hero/heroine and HEA.

Loved this next installment in the series. Heden has been a great character throughout the other books and I was so excited to see him fall in love and make tough choices. I’m also enthralled by the new villain, his plan and damn their goddess… she’s so fickle and pissing me off.
But Heden and Sofia… wonderful.
Well of the series so far that was by far the most romantic, honestly Sofie and Heden’s love story had me just smiling while looking and reading on the iPad lol. Heden is just everything, so funny and charming.
So this is book Five in Rebecca Hefner’s Ethyras earth series. In my opinion you need to read the previous 4 as you will get soooooo invested in the family dynamics.
We already know and LOVE the youngest Vampyre royal Heden and I for one could not wait to meet his Happy ever after girl. Yes maybe after the last book we were introduced to new villains and one in particular may have stood out for me for him. BUT it depends are you a opposites attract kind of person or like me and best friends for life kind of love.
Haha well not telling you any more in the fear of spoiling As you simply must read.
The villains and set up for the next book is epic! . Top marks 5/5 and honestly you need to read now.
This is Etherya’s Earth #5 in the series. The storyline flows just as perfectly this far in and that is a huge plus. The characters are so impressive as is the world around them. This is my favorite series of Mrs. Hefner’s. Rebecca Hefner writes with her readers in mind. She hooks you immediately and keeps you entertained and enthralled though each work of act she publishes. Perfect in every way!
I really like Heden! He’s such a goof and soooo romantic…
This book had me laughing and tearing up and melting inside as Heden and Sofia tried to find a way to be together forever… Whatever forever might be. And still figure out a way to stop the bad guys, one code at a time.
It is easy to read, fun, uncomplicated a real page-turner, and lighter than the previous books. Hegen’s jokes are the best and Sofia is his match without a doubt!
And as far as I’m concerned, I agree with Hegen: better a lifetime of love than eternity alone.
I received a free ARC copy of this book and this is my honest opinion.
Once again, I found myself completely sucked into this story in the Etheyra’s Earth series from the start! Sofia has been living a life driven by the need for vengeance. Evie (yes, that Evie—you should read that book, too!), killed her beloved grandfather, and she will have her revenge. A brilliant hacker, she’s infiltrated the immortal’s computer system and intends to take her down. Enter Heden, another hacker this one seriously was so adorably computer geeky in the best way!!) and the two of them are having this complete “I can out tech-you” enemies to lovers vibe while also waging a war of sexy spy craft. Um, yes please.
One of my favorite things about this series is the relationship between all the characters. Time has passed and we have adorable kids with giraffe pajamas in the picture . Darkrip is making stir fry. He promises it isn’t poisoned. We get to see glimpses of everyone’s HEA extending past that last page, and that feels even sweeter. Of course, we have a new bad guy on the scene, Bakuri, and he’s out to destroy them all. And the new family dynamic complicates things in all sorts of ways. Now it’s not just your badass mate with superpowers who needs protection, but your vulnerable children. I’ve loved every installment in this series, and this was my favorite one yet!
Heden is youngest brother to Sathan, Latimus and Arderin, the joker and peacemaker in the family. A computer genius, there isn’t much he can’t find or do with them.
Watching from the sidelines as his family gets bigger with each year. His brothers have found mates, even his tempestuous sister has bagged herself a man, well demon! Heden is wondering if anyone will come forward and claim this geek?!
After swearing to get revenge for the death of her beloved grandfather, Sofia now has the upper hand. After placing surveillance in all the villages in the Vampyre/Slayera domain, Sofia can watch and plan the downfall of the Deamon-Slayera murderess who killed her grandfather.
Her prowess with technology rivals and surpasses (well in her opinion) Heden’s. Her supporter wants them all dead! Even the children! A full scale war is on the cards……
I’ve read the whole series, and I do recommend you read them in order. Heden has been in all of them, his sense of humour has been in evidence, his love for his family is obvious, playing peacemaker for centuries. But you get the sense he’s a much deeper character, behind that smile and banter is a young man that wants to be loved.
Sofia is a new character. But her knowledge of the Etherya world is not. With the help of The Secret Society she knows who is to blame for the death of her grandfather, the only objection is the fact the society want EVERYONE dead! Even the children, and Sofia is finding that hard to work with.
And when Sofia is faced with the truth about who the leader of the society is, and the fact the families he has accused aren’t as bad as he claims, it puts Sofia in a quandary, does she have the right to end so many lives? And what’s his agenda (I know, but I’m not saying)
Heden has grown over the last few books, sure he’s still the playboy, the joker, but I also get this sense he’s ready for a family (even if it’s only subconsciously at the moment) his sense of humour had me chuckling at the oddest of moments, the banter he had with the women in his family (sisters-in-laws) tell them he’d run away with them, and they’d live happily ever after. The jokes he had with the man his sister bonded too, you’d think it would be difficult, but Heden draws out the smiles in most people.
So who is the secret society? What do they want? What’s the agenda?
Well I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you
I try not to give spoilers, and boy this one was hard to keep quiet, it’s a big one. I did not see it coming, and I did have a moment where I had to reread the passage just to be sure.
It’s been a marvellous journey, filled with danger, intrigue, passion, and sadness. The characters have all been amazing. Catching up with everyone in the Etherya world was great, seeing how the couples have grown, how each character has evolved.
The action scenes were still as good as the first book.
The tender moments were all the more poignant as this series is almost at an end.
Like how can Sofia and Heden have a happy ending? She’s human, she will age and die, and she won’t be able to live in Etherya!
Each book became a favourite. But now with this last book, I can say this wasn’t my favourite, but it came a very very close second.
But I encourage you to pick up the first book, you won’t regret it.
The Impassioned Choice is the fifth book in author Rebecca Hefner’s Etherya’s Earth series. For those of us who have read this series from the beginning, this book is set six years after the immortals defeated Crimeous and features the youngest Vampyre Royal, Heden. Heden is the fun-loving jokester who just happens to be a tech guru.
So we’re finally back in Etherya’s Earth with the latest in this series, featuring all our favorite characters and some new enemies to conquer! I’ve been highly anticipating this latest addition and I must say it did not disappoint! I’ve been a fan of this series from day one and author Rebecca Hefner is on my must-read list!
Now being that this is number 5 in the series, some authors can lose a little steam… but not Rebecca Hefner! This was a book I struggled to put down! Not only did she add some unexpected twists and turns to this story, but she also gave us a fabulous female lead in Sofia and the perfect mate for Heden. Their journey to their HEA wasn’t exactly smooth but it was a great journey and an absolutely perfect ending!
So what’s in store next in Etherya’s Earth? So many possibilities to consider! I may not know what’s coming next for this series, but with Ms. Hefner writing it, I’m sure it will be another winner! Not enough stars in the rating system for this gem! Absolutely loved it!
The world of Etherya’s Earth once again impressed me!
In The Impassioned Choice, we follow Heden as he finds love in a very unfamiliar place. Not only does he actually fall for someone, but that someone just so happens to be a human.
I throughly enjoyed seeing Heden attempt to grow up and make heavy decisions that would impact his life forever. He’s always been one of my favorite characters and seeing him find his happily ever after was so wonderful.
Once again Hefner does an amazing job weaving together action, romance, and a plethora of characters into a fantastic book that I never wanted to end!
Witty sarcastic fun! Heden and Sophia have banter that speaks to me since it’s my love language. The group discovers they have another threat. This threat leads Heden to find a hacker that just might be better then him. This paranormal saga continues and we watch all the previous characters and of course the main characters grow and their lives progress. A lot is revealed in book and the ending gets you in the heartstrings. While their love story can be read as a standalone this story is so much more if you read or listen to them all. The narrator does a wonderful job through out the entire series with her character voices and keeping them consistent.
