Review for Warrior Mine: Retribution by Elliot Deveraux

Title: Warrior Mine: Retribution
Author: Elliot Dev

Description:  Angelique Devereaux is a dark legend, once a Chosen Warrior of god, she betrayed her
oaths to love one who was forbidden. Cast out, cursed and scarred, she continues her battle alone. Until a soul as tortured as her own stumbles across her path. Asher Elliot is lost in his own darkness when he first sees the tall warrior known to legend simply as The Slayer. Tortured by the deaths of his wife and children, this grieving warrior is nonetheless drawn to the timeless, cold being he witnesses at work. Like him, she deals in death and her justice is swift, sometimes messy, but always final. He follows her, watching, growing ever more captivated by her, until finally he must reach out to claim what his reawakened heart wants most.

Book Two in the exciting new series WARRIOR MINE. Retributions continues the passionate and ever-changing relationship that is building between Asher Elliot and Angelique Devereaux.

Asher's past has come back to haunt him in a way that threatens to open old wounds just as they've begun to heal. When he is contracted to do a job, he shuts "Angie" out and goes to exact his personal vengeance for the sins committed against those he loved.

Angelique has never been part of humanity, is still struggling to find her way in the midst of love and passion that is alien to her immortal soul. The ties of blood have revealed Asher's pain to her, and she will not allow anyone to hurt him if she is able to stop it.

As the two warriors each set out on the path of retribution, they are once again drawn back to each other. Face to face with Asher, Angelique wonders if he can forgive her, and her beloved male is trying hard to understand her fear of not being good enough for his love.

They have a long way to travel before true understanding will make them whole, will their love be strong enough to keep them together for their journey?

My Thoughts: Angelique and Asher are back in loving bliss. For the first time in what seems like forever they both have a reason to smile. Though shortly Ashers past crashes back into him, bringing him back to the anger and pain Angelique helped dissolve and that does not please her one bit. So she sets about for her own mission and that is to make those who brought him back to the pain pay for it.

Another great short on the insight of two fiercely strong and passionate warriors. Well written and leaves you wanting the next installment right away. Asher has to face his past demons to let go and Angelique loves him so much that her love is to avenge what she knows is a set up. Even though they are both fiercely strong they are both vulnerable in their own ways, but the love and passion for each other is what makes them see a light at the end of the tunnel even if getting to that light will always be a hard road. Once again, only complaint is too short and I am anxiously awaiting the next installment to see where this road will lead.

Review for Warrior: The Claiming by Elliot Deveraux

Title: Warrior: The Claiming
Author : Elliot Deveraux

Description: Angelique Devereaux has walked the earth for thousands of years, always alone - Damned to wage an eternal battle to vanquish evil.

Asher Elliot is an immortal who has loved and lost. He walks in darkness, soul tortured by hate and rage. Like Angelique, he is a warrior.

Their lives are about to change in ways neither could have ever imagined. Chance has put Angelique in Asher's path. Drawn by a compulsion he barely understands, Asher goes to the ancient Keep, to claim the legendary Slayer, or have her end his dark existence...

My Thoughts: You can't fight the pull of seduction and love so fierce you’re willing to give up everything just to experience it. Especially when it makes you feel the most alive you have felt in years.... Ages .... and beyond
. Angelique as well as Asher, is an ancient warrior in their own rights. Asher, who has been hiding in the shadows, is drawn to Angelique like no other.. And though she can sense him, she bides her time to see what his move will be. Then one night both fierce warriors in their own right stop fighting the pull and consequences that can come with it should they ever join, and let the flames engulf them .

For a short this book surprised me. The words were evocative and the story intriguing . The passion is so powerful and seductive between the characters you start to forget it is a short. While "the claiming" begins us on the journey of what you would do for love and passion against the future of a bumpy road . My only complaint is that while I enjoyed this short I wanted it to keep going. So I am looking forward to the next installment Warrior : The Retribution and to see what Angelique and Asher had to face and how their love and passion thrive.
