The Guardians Of Gaia Series
Blurb
The conclusion of the war between Elizabeth Bathory and the Guardians of Gaia draws closer, but the theriomorphs and their allies are caught between vampires loyal to Elizabeth Bathory’s daughter, Anna, and humans controlled by Elizabeth and her sire, Thrace. With the forces of evil now pressing on them from two sides, the theriomorphs need help, and they need it fast!
And soonest our best men with thee do go...
It has been five hundred years since Antonio de Barajas, one of the oldest surviving theriomorphs, lost his mate at the hands of his worst enemy. But Gaia never revealed the whole truth about Raphael’s fate, and Antonio is shocked when Raphael arrives to train Evan St. John and Adam Carson as true Dark Guardians. Yet the man who returns after so long is not the same man Antonio once loved. The hard and lonely life as Gaia’s hunter has changed Raphael almost as much as his lost memories of Antonio and the love they once shared.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men...
Antonio must work with the stranger who wears his lover’s face, and while Raphael is welcomed by most of the team, one member sees his return as a threat to his own place in Antonio’s life. But Thrace has allied himself with terrorists who possess a weapon of mass destruction. Now the theriomorphs and Dark Guardians must work together in a race against time to discover Thrace’s plan. Even as Antonio and Raphael are irresistibly drawn to one another, Antonio risks losing far more than his heart this time. If he and his team fail in their mission, millions will die, for Thrace will stop at nothing to destroy Gaia once and for all.
My Two Pennies Worth
Well, that was quite an ending to the story that started two books ago. As with the previous two, this book continues the story arc that has carried over all three books but focuses on a new pairing.
This time it's Antonio's turn to find his true love, but it's not with the person you might have imagined at the end of book 2. No, this is a story of second chances and falling in love all over again.
The whole team are present as they try to stop Thrace and Elizabeth for the last time, so we get to see our previous couples, while they all hand out relationship advice and learn to hone new skills. And it's great to catch up with them all.
I really liked the contrast between Antonio and Raphael, how Antonio has moved with the times while Raphael appears lost in the past with his manner of speech and lack of technological know-how. Evan teaching him how to use his smartphone is the best.
I'd like to see Jean Paul get his HEA, and to learn what Gaia's Guardians plan to do now that the threat they've been focusing on for centuries is over. I hope the author continues to write in this world, even if it's only the occasional short story.
I highly recommend the entire series.
