Ratings and reviews

This is the eighth story in the "Etherya’s Earth" series. This is a paranormal romance with forced proximity. The story is about Adelyn and Leo. He is the son of Kilani and Alrec who were featured in "Dawn of Peace". Leo is grumpy and chooses to live in solitude and away from others. Adelyn is on a mission but ends up with the grumpy man in his cabin. This is a short and quick read/listen. Story develops nicely and I really like the characters, romance and steamy bits.

This is book 8 in the excellent Etherya's Earth series. This is one of my favorites in the series. Adelyn, is the daughter of Lila and Latimus (from The Elusive Sun, book 2). Leo, is the son of Kilani and Alrec (from the prequel The Dawn of Peace). They are both very interesting characters. This is a great Grumpy-Sunshine Romance. I enjoyed it. I loved to see again the characters from the first books. I love this series! Zachary Zaba did an excellent job bringing this story to life.
