Elena

A deal with the devil. How far wrong could that go?

When there’s more than your heart at stake and lives

are on the line, hopefully, not too far.

Anton

Lies. Deceit. Treachery.

It’s not something you learn to live with. Not in my life, anyway.

Not something I have to, or ever will. My wrath won’t be tempered.

When it’s all on the line and the cards are placed on the table.

Which way will the dice roll?

We have to say that we loved the conclusion to this ongoing saga. This story kept you on edge the entire time with anticipation of what would happen next. The story was full of drama from beginning to end, and we could not put it down. Traitors run a muck in this story. So many lies and deceit happenings. A page turner for sure!

Noticed something different this time around with Anton he is still the same old Anton in a lot of ways but, this time around he seemed to be a tad softer like he had found some peace within himself perhaps he had hope in the fact that he had the chance to be with the woman he loved out in the open and not behind closed doors.

My heart broke for Anton and Elena, in the eyes of others someone like Elena would always pay for the sins of her traitorous father and Anton for the fact that the traitor in question took something for Anton and his family, and it becomes very complicated when you are in love with that traitors' daughter. For Anton, he knows he shouldn't blame Elena for some other sins but, when it is so in your face all the time, it wears on one heart with questions, do you seek revenge or love your soulmate with your all and be happy?

Overall, the story had a cast of incredible characters. The chemistry between Anton off the charts. I will say from the very start of Anton and Elena story we were rooting for them because from the moment they met it was clear these two had developed a bond, and it would just be a matter of time that they would be reunited once again with the one you were destined to love.

H.L Packer is, quite frankly, a busy bee.

An avid reader as a child, her love for all things written waned into adulthood, the excitement of real life things taking over. But when her life slowed down as she finished her office job for maternity leave, her husband purchased her an e-reader, and that obsession was rekindled.

Quickly she went from reader to reviewer, and then from reviewer to blogger; street teams and promo tours galore. When she began collating her own book boxes over at Romance Readers Book Box UK and had the opportunity to include her own words and worlds, the characters began talking.

Those cheeky characters quickly found themselves written down on the page, and her first series was in progress.

When she is not coordinating her worlds, you can find her running around after her free-spirited three children, and husband, or tending to the dogs, bearded dragons, and snakes that also reside with them.

A break can be found soaking in a bubble bath or enjoying a glass of wine, often still with a book in her hand.
