As Grey’s deadline draws nearer, Lia Mara questions if she can be the queen her country needs.

Review:

A Heart so Fierce and Broken left me with the impression that AVSBAD was going to explode. With the additional characters and the slow build of up suspense, what else were we meant to expect?!?!

In the last book, I found Rhen a little dull and short-sighted but it was interesting to see how Harper played a massive impact on his personality and helped him grow along the way. Their depth and development in this book was a massive highlight for me and redeemed my love since the last book.

Lia Mara and Gray are still as fricken epic! I have such a soft spot for Gray and though they didn’t grow much in comparison.

The plot is just as addictive and as fast paced as the first and second book. There is no doubt in my mind that you will find yourself glued to the book and sitting on the edge of your chair with every page you turn.

Though I was late to the party on this series, I have to admit I’m grateful that I was, so I didn’t have to wait long to devour this final instalment. SO, when I say buy ‘em and read ‘em, I mean it.
