About The Book

Ravi’s world has shattered. Cayenne’s dark secrets have finally come to light, and a mysterious enemy threatens to dismantle The Trust from within. Haunted by betrayal, Ravi must confront the demons of his past while battling for the future of The Trust, the fate of the world, and his own heart. But can something so broken ever truly be mended?

The Review

Ravi is still trying to deal with what Cayenne has done, while at the same time missing them. His dreams are filled with memories of their time together but after learning about Cayenne’s secrets Ravi is not able to forgive his actions.

Ravi is determined to fix the Trust, making it what it should be instead of what it has become. He has revealed the fact that he is gay to his team, and since Harry has received the magical weapon indicating she is the Chosen, he and Harry must marry and have children. Harry is aware of Ravi’s sexual preference and has no problem with him being with men. They will use artificial insemination to have children, so that part of his life is going well enough.

Constance is determined to find and kill the demon she accidentally released, while the team is on one monster chase after another. Nate has always cared about Ravi, but knows that he is still heartbroken over Cayenne, so he keeps his feelings hidden. Ravi makes the first move, longing for the comfort and security of not being alone.

Someone is working from inside the Trust to weaken it, and Harry and Ravi will do whatever is necessary to ensure that it doesn’t happen. While Nate and Ravi begin a relationship, Cayenne is working at getting Ravi back and their attempts are not subtle. The team knows that Cayenne is not to be trusted and wonders, what danger they will subject them to.

Out of Cayenne’s control, Ravi becomes stronger mentally, no longer willing to hide himself and who he really is. His childhood was all training and little affection and love. Now he is getting what he missed from Nate, and it’s having a profound effect on him.

At a gala held to recognize Harry as the new Chosen and announce her engagement to Ravi, Cayenne shows their true colors, their betrayal and determination to end the Trust and get rid of anyone who threatens their goal. It will take the entire team to put an end to Cayenne’s scheme and save everyone. Is Harry going to face the Armagedon moment that she, as the Chosen, is expected to conquer? Can Cayenne be stopped? This is the final book in the series and all questions are answered.

Filled with suspense, betrayal, lies, secrets, surprises, sex and a group of amazing characters, this series is a must read.

4 stars.

Summary: A Reverie of Flames is the new, spell-binding third installment of 'The Fae Souls' series. Born again into the mortal world, I'd hoped to escape the war between light and dark fae. I wasn't alone - Sorcha (my love) and Princess Saphira of the seelie (who we were sworn to protect) were with me. Rings gifted by Queen Carisse of the seelie ensured we were born in the same timeframe and we'd remain together. More than chance brought us to the city of Grayhaven. It was magic and destiny. Sorcha had returned to my life the day she saved me from an unseelie attack; that was when my memories had come flooding back. Now I found myself regaining my awareness of who I was and discovering how serendipitous fate can be at bringing you to the right place at just the right time. In the unique position of remembering our fae origins, Sorcha - now Angelica, a white witch who opposed unseelie interests in the city, and I had a lot to catch up on. As she brought me up to speed, I realised the depth of my feelings for her, and that I wanted to continue our romance into this, our next lifetime. Princess Saphira was reborn as Ayla: my sister. Now an 18 year old student and budding witch, she was a prime target for the unseelie who sought to overthrow the seelie royal family. We had to protect her, and Angelica and I would do our best to ensure she stayed safe. A Reverie of Flames is a romantic urban fantasy novella of just over 20,000 words, which contains strong steamy content and language.

Summary: It’s not his job or the fact that his maybe boyfriend, Shige, is a vampire.

He needs help, and he has to fly to the other side of the world to get it. The catch? Shige’s the only one who can take him there, but things with him haven’t been great. Their relationship is in tatters, and he doesn’t know how to fix it or if it’s even up to him. This is so not what he needs right now. But Phil’s not the only one with issues. Shige’s got a territory to maintain and a mystery to solve all while worrying about Phil. He takes all this in stride, but when things take a turn for the worst, can he get them both home in one piece?
