Layla started out believing she was the catch of the county, determined to reclaim the man she wanted to be the one for her. Facing that it was too late might have been the hardest thing she’s ever done except that right now she needs to learn how to put aside her own selfishness and figure out what matters in life. In Book 10, Adam was anything but a hero, but, in Book 12, he’s been through a lot and come out the other side, painfully aware of his unforgivable mistakes in the past. He’s no longer the same jerk who loved Tally and cheated on her as if that wasn’t a conflict. In the process of changing his ways, his feelings have also taken a 180. Returning to the place where his bad deeds blew up in his face is an eye-opener as nothing else could be. In this tale of redemption, two former villains discover that the road to recovery is a long, life-altering one, just as ever finding happiness…and love…again will be.” ~Linda's Reviews Find out more about Adventures in Amethyst Series here: https://karenwiesner.weebly.com/adventures-in-amethyst-series.html http://www.writers-exchange.com/adventures-in-amethyst-series/ I received a new review for INDOMITABLE, Book 4: Arrow of Time Chronicles: 4 Stars! "This final volume in the Arrow of Time Chronicles effectively weaves together all the story arc threads developed in the previous three books in a satisfying conclusion. Alliances become stronger under the shadow of a common danger. Not without loss, the civilized worlds of the galaxy are saved (for now). Our favorite couples overcome serious threats to their relationships in believable ways. The reformed villain achieves redemption (one of my favorite tropes). As in the rest of the series, the principal characters have appealing, individualized personalities, and the worldbuilding highlights the differences among the various cultures even as they begin to accept their newly revealed commonalities. The lingering mystery of those common elements and the "yes, but" epilogue don't, for me, detract from the overall sense of closure; those features of the story just lend an increased feeling of realism." ~Award-winning author Margaret L.
