Deliverance (Eden, #4) . . .
Things
have come to an end with this final installment of the Eden series. The final
fight has been fought and the final stand made. Brenna was the prophecy come to
life and her life was now not fully her own. She had something within her that
she cannot take back to the people (humans) she was torn away from. Ludan just
wants to protect her. The fierce instinct was at its highest intensity.
Once
free and safe in Eden Brenna begins to heals and come out of the abusive existence
she has lived for years. She was once shy, scared, and quiet. She grows to be
strong, resilient, determined, and worthy. The development and growth of Brenna
makes things come together. Ludan falling for this one slip of a woman was mind-blowing
for him. This one encounter changes his world forever.
I
was just memorized by the sinfully sweet sense with Ludan and Brenna. Their
interplay with each other was something to write home about. The scenes were
crafted beautifully. Just the scenes with Brenna alone were emotional. I had
times when I wanted to slap her but then hug her and keep her safe and hidden.
She was a pivotal character. She was crafted well.
This
was one sinfully sexy, astonishingly suspenseful, evocatively alluring, sweetfully
endearing. You will leave Eden in love with each of the wonderful characters
and remember their stories when you need a romance to fall back on, a mystery
to intrigue you, and a world to lull your senses and your heart.
Now
that the series is completed, I will be heading back to the beginning and pick
up with all the details that I have missed. I will get to see the entire
sub-plot unfold and reveal itself over the course of the four books. I will get
to fall in love with four strong warriors and the women they claim. I have had the pleasure of reading two of the
four books and have falling in love with the two men of Eden and their
women. I will certainly keep this
series close at hand to read again and again.

BLURB
Fate is the life we’re given. Destiny
is what we do with it.
Captured as a child and forced into
slavery by the Rebellion’s leader, Brenna Haven was raised in near isolation with
the utmost cruelty. She knew nothing of kindness or compassion until Fate
orchestrated her rescue. Finally free, she wants nothing more than to return to
her home. To reconnect with her human family and live a simple, quiet life. But
her newfound powers demand an entirely different future. One fraught with
danger and a terrifying role in an ancient Myren prophecy.
A battle-hardened warrior and sworn
bodyguard to the king, Ludan Forte wields a powerful, memory stealing gift. But
his skill comes with a price. A torturous burden he’s hidden since his
awakening over a hundred years ago. He never dreamed he’d find relief, let
alone be tempted to forgo his vows to the king. Yet in Brenna’s sweet beguiling
presence, the weight he bears is lifted. And when her role in the prophecy
threatens her life, he’ll stop at nothing to keep her safe.
This is
the final book in the Eden Series.

Warmth
and a soft tickle skated along Brenna’s jawline. Lips, the same full, delicious
ones she’d craved since Ludan had kissed her, the scruff of his beard leaving
the same unforgettable impact as his mouth. His wavy hair slid through her
fingers, a weighted silk that teased her forearms. He slanted his mouth across
hers and licked inside.
Perfect.
The slide of his tongue, his taste, the way he groaned into the kiss and sent
perfect trills coursing down her spine. Nothing on earth was better.
He
lifted his head. His ice-blue eyes glowed with need and so much passion it
resonated in her soul. “This is what you want.”
Odd.
It was Ludan’s voice, but her own was superimposed with it. And it wasn’t a
question, but a statement.
Candles
surrounded them, and a scarlet satin comforter stretched beneath them.
Not
real.
“This
is what you want,” Ludan said again, ghosting his knuckles along her collarbone
and slipping his fingers beneath the neckline of her nightshirt.
Her
heart leapt at the touch, his caress only hinting in the direction of her
breast, but drawing her nipples to hard points. “Yes.”
He
smiled and lowered his gaze, a long lock of hair falling over his forehead. “So
beautiful.”
Cool
air assaulted her flesh, sending goose bumps along her torso. Her nightshirt
was gone, whisked away by her dreams.
Inch
by inch, he trailed his fingertips down her sternum, his expression so reverent
and caring she was afraid to move.
He
cupped one breast, and she arched into the contact, too overwhelmed with the
sensation to do anything but close her eyes and surrender to its magic. She
tightened her grip on the back of his head, urging him closer. “Ludan, please.”
She didn’t know what it was she needed, only that she did, and badly.
“Shhh.”
He dipped his head and smoothed his lips along the path his fingers had
taken.
More.
Over
and over, the word echoed through her head. Nothing else mattered except the
feel of him against her. His weight, the warmth of his skin, and the safety of
his arms. She closed her eyes and splayed her hands across his wide shoulders.
So much strength. Power as rigidly contained as the man. “Ludan.”
One
of his big hands cupped her shoulders, and his lips disappeared.
She
squeezed her eyes and willed them back. “Ludan, please.”
He
spoke again, but this time it was different. Farther away and muffled.
“Brenna.”
No.
She
rolled her head back and forth on the pillow. No, no, no. She couldn’t lose
him. Not again. She hadn’t done anything wrong this time. Had she?
The
hand at her shoulder tightened. “Brenna, wake up.”
Heat
registered beside her. Not the kind from her dream, but real. Tangible,
deliciously masculine heat and muscle.
Her
eyes snapped open.
Ludan
lay propped on one elbow beside her, the other hand holding her shoulder as
she’d felt in her dream. In the daylight, his form was intimidating, but in the
night’s shadows, he was downright scary. “You okay?”
Not
really. Sweat misted her skin, and her heart jack-rabbited in an out-of-control
rhythm. The covers were too heavy, pressing against her tight breasts. She
shifted her legs and nearly moaned at the throbbing pulse between them. “I’m
fine.”
The
comment earned her a sharp frown. He relinquished his hold and leaned back far
enough that the bay’s moonlight brought him out of shadow. At some point after
she’d fallen asleep, he’d removed his T-shirt, leaving his perfect body on
prime display. “You didn’t sound fine.”
She
pushed upright and leaned against the headboard, careful to hide her aching
nipples with the sheet. Looking at him only made the ache worse. In that
moment, she’d give a lot to let her fingers have free rein. “It was just a
dream,” she whispered.
He
stared at her, then lowered his gaze to her clenched fists in the sheets.
“You’re afraid.”
“No.”
It came out too fast, and his eyes snapped to hers. “I mean, it was an intense
dream, but not something I’m afraid of.”
An
odd look flittered across his face, caution or suspicion. “Tell me.”
This
is what you want.
Clearly,
her subconscious wasn’t in the mood to mess around. And while she’d happily go
there in dreams every night, she wasn’t so sure Ludan would appreciate the
concept of them together as much as she did. Especially after what had happened
last time.
“I…”
What could she say? “I’m not sure it’s something you’d want to hear. It was
personal.”
His
eyes narrowed. “Personal, as in…”
“Personal.”
She pulled her knees up and wrapped her arms around them. “It was about the two
of us.”
His
head snapped back, and his breathing accelerated. He clenched the sheet at his
waist, and his nostrils flared. “What about us?”
A
strange yet not unpleasant sensation swirled low in her belly, and the pulse
between her legs ramped to blistering demand. She could keep the dream to
herself. Never say a thing and let it slide.
Or
she could take a chance.
She
licked her lower lip. “We were intimate.”

MY INTERVIEW WITH
RHENNA MORGAN
How
would you describe you style of writing to someone that has never read your
work?
I’d say my books all contain robust world
building and feature gritty alpha heroes and strong, smart heroines.
What
mindset or routine do you feel the need to set when preparing to write (in
general whether you are working on a project or just free writing)?
I really need quiet to work. Any music
outside of tracks designed to increase productivity is too distracting for me
to focus and pulls me out of the story. Same goes for televisions and screaming
kids.
Do you
take your character prep to heart? Do you nurture the growth of each character
all the way through to the page? Do you people watch to help with development?
Or do you build upon your character during story creation?
All of the above! J
I get character ideas from all over the
place. Sometimes it’s while I’m out and about doing errands, and sometimes they
pop in my head while I’m writing a story. I use Pinterest a lot for inspiration,
too. The character sketches become critical when it’s time to sit down and
start writing a new story. Somehow when I sit down to learn about their past,
what they want, and what they’re afraid of, the story just plops in my lap.
Then I run with it!
Have
you found yourself bonding with any particular character? If so which one(s)?
I think I bond with them all at some level
because when I’m writing, I’m not me. I’m them. So I feel, learn, and grow with
them as the book progresses. I’ve just finished my eighth book and I can
honestly say there’s not one of them who hasn’t left their mark on me. They all
had their weakness to overcome, but I’ve loved them all.
Do you
have a character that you have been working on that you can't wait to put to
paper?
I’ve had several of those, some whose books
are already done and some who’ve yet to be written. For those already written,
I’d say:
·
Eryx Shantos (Eden
Book #1 – UNEXPECTED EDEN)
·
Ludan Forte (my
current release – Eden Book #4 - EDEN’S DELIVERANCE)
·
Jace Kennedy – (Haven
Brotherhood #1—coming mid-February – ROUGH & TUMBLE)
For those yet to be written I’d say Axel
McKee (Haven Brotherhood #6) and Priest (Dark Reckoning #1). Both of those guys
are driving me crazy to get busy.
Have
you ever felt that there was something inside of you that you couldn't control?
If so what? If no what spurs you to reach for the unexperienced?
It’s funny. Control is something I’ve chased
my whole life, and it’s only in the last few years that I’ve realized how
little of it I really have. With that acceptance, I’ve learned to stop playing
the hamster on the wheel and start enjoying the finer things in life. Whether
it’s sitting out on my front porch on a nice morning, or dinner and a movie
with my family, that’s where best experiences are.
