As much as I love Mary and find her personal story so endearing, Rhage and the constant talk about how he is the best looking Brother really gets on my nerves.

I should also probably state that Rhage has never been close to being one of my favorite Brothers. “Rhage! You have a dragon! A pet dragon! I got to rub his tummy!” Whether it was grocery shopping or discovering the word “Mom”, she melted my heart. I loved her curious and positive attitude, especially with the events that had taken place in her life. Oh, and Bitty is actually too cute for words. This makes Mary and Rhage’s struggle even more apparent, and makes them question their happiness. Mary has been working with a young and abused victim named Bitty, who soon becomes an orphan right before Mary’s eyes. Unfortunately for Rhage and Mary, Mary will never, ever be able to carry a child, and even though they seemed to be somewhat at peace with this, it becomes apparent very early on in this book that they are not. Yet, even with all the risks and possible heartbreak, it sometimes does happen. As we all know, it is very hard to even get pregnant in this vampire world, and it almost always results in loss of the child, the mother, or even both sometimes. Rhage’s unhappiness was being caused by of the fact that he and Mary will never be able to conceive a child together. (Since this is book fourteen, the rest of this review will have very minimal spoilers, since it’s almost impossible to say anything this far into this series.) They have been through a lot, and I mean a lot, but they seemed to be in a happy and safe place, until Rhage almost dies, willingly. The Beast surrounds all of the Brothers, the Chosen, and everyone linked to them in-between, but it mostly centers on Rhage, the beast himself, and his wife Mary. LAYLA AND XCOR’S ROMANCE IS EVERYTHING I’VE EVER WANTED! My prayers have finally been answered with the confirmation that book fifteen, The Chosen, will be all about my OTP! *high pitch squeals forever*

She has proven, with fourteen books now, that she truly is the master of Paranormal Romance, and this book was no exception.Īlso, I know I’ve been screaming this at you for many installments of this series now, but…. I couldn’t even believe I questioned J.R. Like, my heart can’t deal with the roller coaster ending that was this book. Then, she went and blew my mind with this ending. Seriously, I was rolling my eyes so hard at the predictability of this book all the way through the first 75% that I was so sure I was going to end up giving this book a two star rating.

“Time was too finite no matter how much of it you had with someone you loved, when the end came, it wasn’t nearly enough.” Ward is truly the master of book endings.
