A fantastic book full of adventure, intrigue, tension, emotions, spice, and so so very much more! This is another absolutely amazing enemies to lovers read that kept me turning page after page until I finished this. I genuinely couldn’t put this book down. Our story revolves around Alindra, a magician that has spent her life trapped in the Kingdom of Summer, and who is absolutely desperate to escape, and will take literally any help she can get. Next is Phaedron, a man who will do anything, and work with anyone, (even his enemy) if it means saving his brother. What happens when the only salvation these two can see means working and traveling together? Take a moment to read this and find out!!!
Mystery that keeps you guessing and intrigue to keep you hooked. This is the first book I have read by the talented Brandi Elledge, and I was not disappointed. Riley is tired of her “cult” community and though the world outside the fence is full of dangers she longs to escape her “prison”. The world of today is long gone, and the shadows carry secrets and the impure. Riley lives in New Haven, a puritan community in Alabama, but how safe is it really when the extremists start moving south. Everyone has a chance of having the “impure gene” inside them that when mutated could turn them into a vampire, werewolf, shifter or the forbidden shadowbringer. Sam, her best friend, and she have dreamed and planned for the day they graduate high school, and they can finally escape the community and see the world outside for themselves. Only on day one of their senior year something is different, while being preached to over and over about the dangers of leaving the community and being given only one warning before exiled if the try they now have fifteen new students at their school. Pure High, where Sam’s mom is the dean, has welcomed and allows the new students to come and go from the community at will. Angry and confused Riley starts to speculate why they are allowed to and what has changed. Adopted at age three, Riley has always felt like an outsider. As a child she dreamed of the shadows and for as long as she can remember she has had all-consuming headaches but now something is different. The pain was always there just changed in degree but now more ailments are hitting her, waves of heat and fevers while the headaches continue. Asher, one of the new boys from outside the fence is clearly the top dog and he seems to always have an eye on Riley. While a girl in the group that seems to be his girlfriend strongly disapproves of his interest in Riley. A kiss at an end of the year party makes things complicated with her best friend Easton that leads to more awkward moments than she likes, and Sam thinks the two of them would end up together and reproducing like they are “supposed” to do if they don’t mutate. What is happening to Riley, is she mutating? Who will she become, and who were her parents? This world kept growing and evolving as more was revealed. The process, while feeling slow at times, helped build a complete image in the mind that made it easier to see. The characters were never truly what they seemed on the surface, proving don’t judge a book by its cover. I was kept on my toes as I lost sleep in need of knowing what would happen next and by the end, I was already looking for book two, Shadow Dweller, out now. I know I will certainly be diving into it soon to learn what happens next. While I usually don’t comment about other reviews, I felt it was necessary in this case. When I first came across this book the first comment, I saw mentioned no cursing and no “naughty” romance was in this book and that it was appropriate for younger children to read. Now I understand that every person’s opinion is different just as the age we determine to be a younger child might be different. I consider a younger child the age of my older son, which is eleven, and just three chapters into this there were statements that I would not approve of knowing he was reading in a book. Yes, there is some cussing/cursing in this book not excessively, but it is there, but the “naughty” romance comment is more what I am concerned with for a “younger child”. As an adult I felt the comment fit in with the story and made me laugh but this is the quote, “Baby, you haven’t had me between your legs. You have no clue what I’m worth,” one of the guys said. Now once again as an adult there is nothing wrong but an eleven-year-old, I don’t feel it is appropriate to deem this book okay for younger children. Once again loved the book and can’t wait for number two, just my opinion on another review.

A wonderful beginning to a new series. I was drawn right in from the beginning with the drama and adventure. I loved how it started with an almost cult-like meeting that young ones had to attend. It’s an amazing paranormal fantasy that has a little of everything in the story. There are fantastic characters and detailed descriptions that help with the story. It’s very creative. I loved the whole story and couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait to read book 2.

Paranormal fantasy is something I’ve been dipping my toes in lately and this book…I loved every page! Wonderfully written and the characters were all phenomenal. And I’m obsessed with the cover! That’s what drew me in, in the first place! The suspense, the plot..all great to me. I’ll be reading more from this author.

This was an amazing gripping paranormal adventure. It is the first book in the Raven Academy Series. I loved how the author brought so many elements from vampires and werewolves to witches and Shadow Bringers, this book has so many twists and turns that I was hooked from the first page. I loved the character of Riley. She is a very determined young woman who won’t stand by while someone dictates her life. It was a unique story about Rileys life in the community and at times I was wondering if she was any safer in that community than she would be outside of it.
This book is filled with action, secrets, dangers and its a journey as Riley discovers who she really is.
Riley is 18 and is in her final year of school. Her plan is that once she leaves she plans to leave the community with her friend. The community has been her home forever however the things they are forced to do such as having their magic bound if they have any and being treated so they can’t reproduce. Riley believes she can have a better life in the free world. When new students arrive at the academy from the outside Riley sees them as her opportunity to get a taste of the outside world. 1 person in particular catches her eye and offers to help her for a price. But what Riley doesn’t realise is just how high that price will be and what it will cost her.
This was an amazing story and I can’t wait to read more

Heart’s Escape took some time to get into as it was a wonderfully slow building story. It gave you depth into each character and sold you on the author’s storyline. The way each character built their demeanor and were built makes the story that much more enticing. Plus, the climax is built up and the details are specific that you actually feel as though you are in the story. I enjoyed each section of the book as it built up the events in each chapter. The characters each had a special role to play and then left an imprint on your heart of what they were doing in the story as it closed. The ending even left it open for another story by this amazing author. A definite read for those who love magic and mystery!

Alindra is a magician for the Kingdom of Summer, she is young, talented and imprisoned, she is terrified for her life and she is desperate to get away, so she makes a plan to leave and packs a few belongings so that when she does leave, it won’t be obvious to start with. Phaedron is a man who has been through a lot, as a child he was sent to the Land Below with his mother, but it was to escape something worse than death, but that is when his challenges began and his losses, but he trudges on and tries to achieve his dreams, but this is not to be and when he loses his arm and then his brother.
Phaedron hatches a plan to go to the Kingdom of Summer and steal away a magician who will be able to help him rescue his brother, however, when he steps through the portal, it doesn’t go quite as expected. When the night comes that Alindra has prepared for, she is checking that she has got everything she needs when suddenly a portal opens in her tiny room and a man step through it, so when he asks her to go with him back through the portal, she is shocked, but she agrees. This is where every plan both have made shatters when the portal closes behind them, neither of them can believe what just happened, but Alindra immediately goes back to her plan A and hustles Phaedron out of her room and to another escape route promising that she will meet him the next day.
This is where the challenges soon begin again, as both travel to their last resort way to get away, this is where Phaedron explains about why he needs her to go with him, who has imprisoned his brother and where, he also asks Alindra why she wants to get away, so as they both lay out their truth, can they learn to trust each other enough to complete their missions, or will there be more challenges along the way and can they really trust each other, knowing they are on different sides of the same war? This is an adventure across kingdoms where opposites must work together, magic is everywhere and trust is hard to find, not to mention attraction and forbidden feelings, it is a heady mix you will not want to miss out on.
Heart’s Escape is Book #3, and the fourth and final instalment in the Fallen Hearts series by Meredith Hart. As with the other books in the series this is a captivating romantic fantasy- with an enemies to lovers theme, action, adventure, magic, danger, drama, desperation, chemistry, spice, challenges/obstacles, emotion, mystery, secrets, tension, intrigue, superb world-building, interesting characters, layers, banter, violence, a quest, and finding love unexpectedly. This is Phaedron and Alindra’s story, which sees two ‘enemies’ joining forces out of desperation, and perhaps a little a touch of fate. We met Phaedron previously, as he is Rowan’s brother (Heart’s Rescue – Book #1). Desperate times call for desperate measures, and both Phaedron and Alindra have their own reasons for wanting to join forces. But trusting each other is a whole different story. Right? What unfolds makes for a captivating story of finding love in the throes of an adventure. As I have come to expect from Ms. Hart, this is a richly detailed story with wonderful scene-setting which helped to bring her world, characters, and story, to life. I was pulled into the story from the very beginning, easily connecting to and investing in the characters and the outcome of the story. This was a bit of a bitter-sweet read for me, knowing it was the final in the series- but also needing to know how it all played out in the end. I wonder what Ms. Hart has in store for us next? I am excited to find out. Happy Reading…

What another incredible book. I do have to say somehow, I missed book 2 so I will be going back to that but with that being said you can read these books on their own and still understand what is going on and not get lost or feel confused. The story is very well written that as your reading its almost like there is a painting going on in your head and you can see the world this story has to offer. The two characters especially Alindra and Phaedron, are in a whirl wind of stuff and it kicks off with hem right away on the run. Phaedron this time has a bit almost bigger role in this book, and we see things we are shown things from his side of the story. this book was both filled with romance, twists and turns, fantasy, paranormal, fantasy, and was well worth reading, even with missing the book in the middle.
This is the third and final book in the Fallen Hearts series by Meredith Hart. There are some things I really liked about this book and others that just fell a little flat – overall though, it is a good book and a good ending to the series.
Just like the other books, this one is written in dual POV. The two main characters are Alindra and Phaedron. Both who have felt extreme pain and wish to escape their reality. It was one major complication after another, and I felt horrible for both of them. Alindra is on the run, and the only place she can go where they may not find her is the Lands Below. Her and Phaedron’s adventure starts quiet literally with a portal opening.
We are introduced in Phaedron in the other books, but this is the first time he is front and center, and you really get to know him better and on a deeper level. There are some other characters that you see that also cross over from the other books, which i enjoyed.
Meredith Hart’s world building skills are amazing, and I can submerge myself into the world easily. If you enjoy romance with a little magic and adventure this is the story and series for you. The way the series wrapped up was done nicely. I definitely recommend reading this book, and series.
Heart’s Escape by Meredith Hart is the 3rd book in a series of standalone crossovers called the Fallen Hearts Series. I would like to start by saying I have not read the other books in the series but was able to easily enjoy the story. I will be going back and reading the others at some point though because this one was a very fun read. The story follows Alindra a Magician from the Kingdom of Summer and Phaerdron who is from the Kingdom of Fall. This is a slow burn Enemies to Lovers and I was so hear for it. Alindra is desperate to escape the Kingdom of Summer and find her sister in the Lands Below. Phaedron shows up from a portal in her room desperate for her help to find his lost brother. If you like Fantasy with love and a dash of spice this is one for you. 4 out of 5 Stars.

This book absolutely had my attention from the first page all the way to the end! I definitely couldn’t put it down until I got to the end and I will be absolutely reading the next book so I can see what happens with Riley. The book is a wonderful paranormal novel with witches, shifters, vampires, and other supernatural beings in the world. The author has created a descriptive world, with well written characters that are well rounded. While the romance is always one of my favorite parts of these books, I loved the relationship between Riley and her bestie Sam. I love seeing their relationship grow with all of the chaos happening. I absolutely recommend this pager turner!

This is the third book in the Fallen Hearts series. This book can technically be read without reading the first two books, but this may initially cause some confusion. I would highly recommend reading the first two books in the series before this one to better understand the story and character background. The author’s descriptive writing paints vivid imagery of both the characters and scenery allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the world they have created. The detail and characters really bring the story to life. The characters feel realistic and I love good character growth and development and this book certainly has that. I loved how the relationship between Phaedron and Alindras developed and the pace it progressed worked so well for them and the story (even if there were moments of frustration from me wanting them to open their eyes occasionally). I got very emotionally invested in the character and rooting for them from the start. I’ve been really enjoying this series, and I would recommend it to fellow paranormal fantasy romance fans!
A fantastic paranormal fantasy tale. This is the third book in the series. The adventure continues on with the oldest sister. I found it to be quite exciting and a journey of a lifetime. There was a little of everything in the story. It’s a story that is definitely worth reading.
The book hooked me right off the bat. I ended up reading the entire book in one day and late into the night. Riley is our main character with her best friend Sam. Sheltered, does not even explain the way these girls grew up. I was shocked but most definitely intrigued how this community lived. The surprise addition of the new kids at the academy causes lots of friction and drama. The new kids seem to not have a care in the world and are strong enough to take care of anything that may come to kill them.
This story had so many twists and turns with some heart wrenching moments as well. I already have book 2 and can’t wait to see what happens. The author’s attention to detail and storytelling was on point.

Heart’s Escape is the third book in the paranormal fantasy Fallen Hearts series. This story is told my fav way of storytelling from alternating POV’s given us a much more in-depth view of who the characters are. Meredith has once again intricately woven together an amazing tale that is well written. Her writing style paints a vivid picture of this unique and exciting world that has many characters. There are elves, dwarves, dragons, and strange shadow monsters. They may be broken but they take charge and forge ahead in this action adventure that is full of violence, danger and unexpected developments that had me on the edge of my seat. Two strangers from different worlds lost, desperate and secrets start these characters on a dangerous road. This journey is a steamy slow burn enemies to lover’s tale. There is a lot going on in this fast-paced tale that is full of magic, fear, hate, danger, passion, desperation, hope, plots, portals, a touch of humour, banter, and spicy romance. This exciting book will appeal to anyone who enjoys reading paranormal romantasy tales with dragons and supernatural beings. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!
Let me start by saying this is the only book in this series I’ve read. And I plan to go back at some point and read the others. Which could very well change what I’m saying now. But we shall see… Well what’s there to say. Heart’s Escape was different. There were elements I enjoyed and others I didn’t. However, in saying that the parts I enjoyed and the way the author presented the story outweighed the parts I didn’t enjoy. Written in a duel pov the chapters go back and forth between the 2 main characters. Which I’m okay with. It flows, it works. It gives essence to the story. A girl on the run. A man that needs to be found. Alindra and Phaedron set out on a journey to achieve both those tasks. Alindra, a Summer Kingdom magician, is planning to run. Leave the kingdom. This isn’t the place for her any longer. So it seems. What she didn’t expect was a portal to open up into the room and Phaedron to ask for her help. Before she could agree the portal spit him out and collapsed. She knew he had magic. Otherwise how’d he get there. She also knows he is from the Fall Kingdom. So what’s he doing here? Phaedron needs a magician and the magician in his realm can’t be trusted. When he meets Alindra he is blown away. One by her beauty but also because she was so willing to help. But can she be trusted? He agrees to help her with her escape plan. Well that escape plan goes all sorts of wrong and now they are on the run. Secrets ruin everything. So as secrets start to come to light it makes their adventure more interesting. Does Alindra end up in the Fall Kingdom? Does Alindra help Phaedron get his brother back? Twists turns and obstacles, sometimes leading in a different direction. Which keeps the story intriguing! The character growth, at times hard to see in the end, worked out. Do you like supernatural romances, with some mystery thrown in? If so, this story is for you! You will get a taste of all that and more. This may not be my go yo genre and I gave it a chance. A chance collectively hasn’t turned out too bad.
This was such a quick and insightful read for the prequel Mission 3407. It starts out with going into TJ’s family history and how he became such a distinguishable officer and in the Navy Seals. All his training leads to his future involvement in Mission 3407. As he came from such a hopeless, poor background, he didn’t believe he could surmise to anything. Others along the way were able to see his worth and potential. His discipline and dedication leads him far into his successes where he becomes trained with the Navy Seal, not an easy feat at all. As he works on arriving there, he makes an unexpected discovery of a missing woman from her family’s yacht. The story takes further into their lives together and this special unit he becomes an integral part of. If you enjoyed Mission 3407, you will enjoy this short novella!

This book is part of a series that I have enjoyed reading. I enjoy this author’s writing skills which bring life to her stories. The use of details makes the story realistic. This book is no different. It is an enemies to lovers story that you don’t want to miss. A story where trusting, romance, and magic may not be what you are looking for but what finds you.. This is a well written story that is told in both sides of the characters. We get to see inside of both characters which just made the story harder to put down. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into their world with ease and kept me there until the end. They are connectable, creative and relatable characters that add to the story’s entertainment value. They have great growth as well as great chemistry throughout. This is a fast paced story that I enjoyed reading. I highly recommend this book.
I loved getting to read the backstory of this enigmatic hero. Readers can be inspired by the hope that comes from seeing the caring adults who step in and step up to help a teen become a man. It was interesting to see the paths he chose. Each decision that a person makes sends out ripples to impact others. Although the ending is not happy, it is a springboard for future stories featuring this character.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this one as I’d never read anything by this author before. I was pleasantly surprised by this quick and interesting dive into military adventure with TJ/Sarge. Sometimes I get a bit worried about short books as I feel they can leave out too many details that could’ve connected the reader to the story, but this author pulled it off very well. I have not read the related book, Mission 3047, but I plan on picking it up since I enjoyed this so much. I was pulled in from the very beginning as the author knows how to create engaging characters that have you invested very early on. I highly recommend picking this book up and reading about a determined Sarge!

Sarge is a Fantasy Adventure that tells the story of Lieutenant Commander TJ Madison, AKA Sarge, who we were first introduced to in Mission 3047. This book gives his backstory and tells about his upbringing, how he first met his wife and how he came to work for a top secret agency. Sarge had a challenging upbringing and worked hard to put food on the table at an early age. When he was given an opportunity to have a better life he took it and through hard work, perseverance, and determination he became a highly decorated Navy Seal. Sarge met the love of his life when he rescued her but lost her when she passed away. The story is full of love, loss, drama, action, suspense, UFO’s, aliens, and top secret missions. The author has a unique writing style and I loved how entertaining and intriguing his stories are. I highly recommend this book!

After reading Rowan and Arryn’s story and meeting Rowan’s brother Phaedron, I was hoping to get a book for him. Alindra has been through a lot, being a magician in the Kingdom of the Summer, a life altering secret and an escape plan foiled by Phaedron showing up in her room. Phaedron while searching for his brother stumbles upon Alindra and she agrees to help him find Rowan if he helps her flee her kingdom. Along the way Phaedron drove me absolutely nuts. I could tell Alindra really fell for Phaedron, but he was too stuck in his own insecurities about his arm that he couldn’t look at the woman who saw him for who he was. Rowan in this book really goes through the ringer, I am so sad to learn of his role in bridging the kingdoms, and how he was used by his own father. Even with an appearance altering injury he was still upbeat and fun loving. This has been such a wonderful series, very enjoyable.
Sarge by Stuart Ledwith. We first meet Sarge in Mission 3047 but don’t really learn a lot about him. This is his story and we learn all about him. It can be read as a standalone though. Its the story of Sarge and his many life lessons in growing up. He is a deep character that grew up in a rough way and ended up becoming a very decorated Navy Seal. Its tells of his marriage and all the trials and tribulations they went thru. Its a very telling story of a man making something of his life after he was dealt a hard hand. Such a informative, interesting read. I highly recommend it.

This talented author has done it again! He has brought us a really entertaining read which gives us a much better insight into the character Sarge who I first met in the book Mission 3047 and I am so glad I read it. I am really enjoying this authors writing style and creative stories. If you haven’t read either book I would start with this book first but don’t worry if like me you are reading them out of order your reading experience will not be hindered in any way.

Alindra spent her life trapped in the Kingdom of the Summer. Tonight, she’s escaping.
There’s only one place the Kingdom of the Summer won’t find her: the Lands Below, that frozen subterranean realm where long ago her king imprisoned the wicked Kingdom of the Fall. She’s ready to risk her escape alone, but the Lands Below come looking for her when a man named Phaedron opens a portal into her bedroom and claims he needs her magic to free his brother from a dragon.
It’s an insane story. She would have to be desperate to go with him.
But she is desperate. And she is going with him.
Phaedron thought losing his arm was the worst thing that could happen to him. Then he lost his brother.
When his brother agreed to use himself as bait to catch a dragon, Phaedron promised to find him. No matter what. Even if it means throwing himself through a portal, entering the palace of their enemies, and trying to convince a magician he’s never met to help him rescue someone from the kingdom they defeated and imprisoned centuries ago.
Everyone knows you can’t trust a magician, especially a magician from the Kingdom of the Summer.
But Phaedron doesn’t need to trust her. He just needs her magic. Snarky, steamy, and fast-paced, Heart’s Escape is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers adventure with dual point-of-view (his and hers). The last in a series of connected stand-alone novels, this epic tale of love and rescue ends with a hard-won Happily Ever After and is perfect for readers looking for a sprinkle of spice in their next swoon-worthy, passionate romantasy.
Raised by wolves in the mountains of Colorado, Meredith Hart traveled the world to seek her fortune, fell in love with a half-elf ranger, and now lives in a cabin deep in the Maine woods where she writes steamy fantasy romance with snarky, reluctant heroes and the warrior women who love them.
She also writes mythology-inspired paranormal romance under the pen name Samantha MacLeod, and she has occasionally been known to pen a poem or two. Sometimes they even make it into her books.

The cover art is beautiful and drew me in the second I saw it. The book was even better than the cover!
I was hooked immediately! I did nothing for an entire day while I devoured this. I fell in love with the characters! The friendships are relatable and made me think of my bestfriend. I laughed, blushed and had my jaw drop. This book deserves so much hype!

This book is more of a short novella and I personally love it that way. Short, simple, sweet, and to the point, this book has just enough. Sarge is complex yet a simple man at the same time. While it is part of the Mission 3047 universe, this novella can definitely be read as a standalone. I recommend this read.

This is an interesting and inspiring book. This story if full action, adventure and romance. Strong character, with plenty of soul and determination. Fast read and short book, good afternoon read by the fire or on the porch. Recommend for fantasy and adventure readers.
