Very much love love this sequel to first novel! I'm so happy for Greg, althought I don't like that he has an affinity to just one of the pups. I can't wait to see what the other novels bring so that we can understand what the carving means and who all the players turn out to be. A great read that would be even better if it was all the way FREE. NONETHELESS, I will keep going until I've read them all.

This author never disappoints. This one is not my favorite. That title still belongs to the first book of the series, but it was an amazing read nonetheless. I feel sad that it is over but excited to witness the rest of the journey. There is everything you would want in every single book of the series: love, humour, conflict, an amazing plot, attention to detail, deep and interesting characters. It is great work and I can't wait to start book 4

The ending caught me off guard but like the past two books this one was equally fantastic and I can not wait for book 4 then book 5. I want to know who the other 2 circle members are and what they can do! This one had me laughing a lot more than the first two. I love books that can make you laugh, cry and really feel like you are a character in the book feeling all the feelings with the other characters. The first one was very much like that for me! The 2nd one was just as good. This one didn’t make me cry or even want to at any point but it did make me feel good! I wish the ending would have ended a little more with like a ceremony type of party or something… with his and her little sweethearts as their ring bearers that would have been adorable!

I am so glad Greg is getting his story told. His quick mind has finally met a challenge. Sush is quick witted and equally deserving of the Maverick Duke. Thankfully Greg has integrated a little more into the Royal family. I love the interactions between Lucy, Xander, and Greg. Accepting Greg has made the Royals stronger. Now he is slowly opening up his heart to Sush. Each twist and turn has him questioning his feelings and the possible dangers. Answers don't come fast, but the Royal Mavericks are there to help each step of the way. I fell in love with Greg in the 1st book - the black sheep is my favorite. Gripping book do far.

Excellent job, never saw that twist coming. I can't wait to read the next novel. Curious to know if there will be any more stories in this series. I have become a fan of your books and I would like to see more of Greg and Christian interaction, and they are getting along better and grow to trust each other. Also, I'm wondering if you have written any other books. And, where do you get ideas or inspiration from?

Literally my favorite book in the series. Love Greg and the Mavericks. Desmond is always a favorite. The way he’s bluntly being himself and trying to get Greg to understand that Lucy is down with the cause even if it’s not the way Greg would phrase it. This book has him showing how much he’s grown and how fond he is of his new family. Family isn’t always the best but when they love you, you love them back. Especially with little Enora. She’s his whole life and he will kill anyone who threatens his peace.

Review after the novel completion

After the first two novels, I’ve come to have a soft spot in my heart for this main character. His character development has come such a long way from the villain he was first portrayed as. He’s worked hard for his redemption and now I’m excited to be reading his love story in the third book. So many conspiracies are underway in this novel! I can’t wait to see everything come to light. As always excellent writing. Thank you! Edit: Now that I have finished the novel, it is everything and more. The author always seems to hit such large themes. And this book is no different. Seeing how both Sush and Greg were so weighed down by their pasts, it’s nice to see that they are finally looking to the future. It’s so beautiful to read a novel with such attention to detail and the continuation from the previous two books. I look forward to reading book 4 and I plan on also buying the physical copies from Amazon.

Once again you have spellbound me with another great book I’m so excited to be moving on to the forth book now as I may of mentioned in your previous books I accidentally started reading your last book first and thought it was oddly familiar with a book I had read in the past about a Lucy so did some tracking down of the order of the books and cannot say a single bad word about these books! They take me to another dimension and I absolutely love all the characters and how beautifully they all flow without being hard to read the consistency is inspiring. Fantastic author

really enjoyed this installment of the Coalescence of the Five series. Greg has always been one of those characters you can’t quite figure out—cold, guarded, and carrying a lot of pain from his past. In this book, we finally get to see behind that wall, and his journey from hardened duke to someone capable of love and trust was so satisfying. Sushmita was a fantastic match for him. She’s strong, independent, and doesn’t let anyone, not even a powerful duke, push her around. The banter between them was sharp and fun, and the chemistry built so naturally. By the time things turned from attraction to something deeper, I was completely hooked. What I loved most is how the story balanced romance with action and suspense. There are secrets, dangerous twists, and plenty of emotional moments, but also humor and warmth that kept the book from feeling too heavy. The return of characters from earlier books was a nice touch, making the world feel more connected. If I had one small wish, it would be to see even more of Sushmita’s huntress skills in the big conflicts—she’s such a cool character that I wanted more of her in full action mode. But honestly, that’s a minor thing in a book that kept me turning pages late into the night. Overall, this was a heartfelt, exciting, and romantic read. If you like paranormal romance with strong characters, sizzling chemistry, and a good redemption arc, you’ll love this one. It’s easily one of my favorites in the series, and now I’m impatient for the next book.
