Faced with the scars of
his brutal past, Reyes must find a way to complete his mission and
defeat an old enemy while keeping Angelica safe. Bringing down the
slavery ring is a personal quest for him—even if it requires intense
brutality and bloodshed—something he hopes Angelica will understand and
accept. But will his search for vengeance cost him the one woman he's
ever truly loved?
Wow
what a wild ride this series was. I think I have forgotten to mention
that each book is rather short so it didn’t take long to read all three books
in one sitting. With that said, I am amazed at the amount of intense
drama she packed in each book though. I finished this one and had to just
sit and catch my breath.
We
begin in the final book of the series that Angelica and Reyes had to decide if
he would allow her to dominate him for the Scorpion. It was clear this
was a trap but they didn’t really have any other choice if they were going to
go ahead with the plan. All hell breaks loose for them as the evil
intentions of the Scorpion and Engle’s unfold. They both wanted to tear
the duo apart and use them for their own individual desires. With Angelica’s
power to revisit visions, she can see what is going on and guide Reyes on his
mission, but this could be the one time she is too late.
What
happens next is a whirlwind of drama and suspense and just when you think that
they will get a semi happy ending, being free but not together, the author
twists the plot and a whole new conclusion happens. I will admit she took
what I predicted and made it better than I could have even imagined. I
had moments that I was holding my breath without realizing it, then feeling the
tears form as I watch their worlds clash.
What
I loved about all three books in this series was how courageous Angelica was,
even in the face of death, her love for Reyes determined her every move.
With her love Reyes was free to take the gifts he had been given yet refused
all of his life and use them to save their lives. They became a force to
be reckoned with during the whole series, even when they were the underdogs and
you saw no way for them to pull it off, where one lacked the other stood up and
brought it.
I
am already searching for more books by this author; she won me over with this
series.
I believe this is the conclusion of
the Savage Chains series, although it is written in a way that the author can easily
add more to the story, and it is a great conclusion to Reyes and Angelica's
story. Scorpion's identity was revealed in the previous book and Angelica and
Reyes must decide just how far they are willing to go to take down the Starlin
group. And they find themselves in a deadly situation more than once this time
around.
Despite all that is going wrong
around them, their relationship continues to develop and strengthen. This adds
to the level of trust they have for one another, which adds to their ability to
communicate telepathically. It also increases the level of passion when they
are intimate, both in public and in private. Because this installment builds on
books one and two, there’s not a whole lot more I can say that won’t spoil the
read for those who haven’t yet made it to this point.
Shattered is a great addition to the Savage
Chains series and an excellent conclusion to Reyes and Angelica's story. Fans
of the series will appreciate the way in which the author brings the situation
with the slavery ring to resolution. I thoroughly enjoyed the series and look
forward to reading more of Ms. Roane's writing.
