Even Though, Even If, Even When...

Philip Avery and Rose Everhart are bound by fate, their connection undeniable, their souls intertwined by something deeper.

But destiny is never simple. Fate can be cruel, and love isn’t always enough.

Torn between his pack and Rose—his trium perfectum, the one person meant to balance his magic, heart, and very being. Philip walks away when his alpha demands a choice—his pack or Rose—leaving behind the one person who truly saw him

Even after heartbreak and separation, their souls refuse to sever.

Philip and Rose must decide: Can love survive the weight of regret? And is redemption possible when the person you hurt is the one you’ve always belonged to?

Review

I have not read the authors other work, other than a short story about glitter bombing pixes. And that didn't really help me understand what was happening in this world the story is based. But it was an entertaining novella 😁 and made me want to know more about the world, which is why I read this book.

In this story We follow Phillip and Rose, who share a magical bond from the moment they meet as kids, but they somehow know it's not the time to fully connect. Is a lovely sweet childhood friendship/blossoming romance.

As the story developed, Phillip ended up doing, what I thought was something out of character to the boy he was in the beginning, but if he hadn't, I guess the storyline would have been a bit boring 😉 and let's face it, peer pressure is real for teenagers.

Anyone who reads my reviews, knows I don't do spoiler reviews. But at the end of the story, we have Rose and Phillip and their bond connected with them happy at the end of the book.

What I liked:

It feels like the start of a massive, epic story arc and I enjoyed the authors writing style. I loved following Phillip and Rose's journey!

What still confused me:

If  this had been a fated mate storyline I would have not been confused but with this emphasis on three... 

  The whole Trium Perfectum ? ( I googled it in Latin it's basically reads, Threes is perfect) And series is called "Trium Perfectum" ... yet there are only TWO of them?! 🧐 Is there a third person missing? Are the answers hidden in the author's previous books or will this be revealed further on in other books?

Update -

I reached out to the Authors PA and they said Accidental Faerie Tale and Even After are prequels. 

Conclusion:

If you love stories where a hidden magical realm seamlessly twists into our normal world, you need this on your radar. BUT maybe don't jump in part way through a series 🫣 like I did, look at the other books first: 

So I'm concluding this review with saying I suggest reading 'An Accidental Faerie Tale first Even After ☺️

REVIEW 

⭐⭐⭐⭐  

I loved the first book, but was sorely disappointed with the way the second book turned out in regards to the 🌶️ scenes went. 

I was honest in my thoughts and I'm going to be honest with this book.

I started the book with a sense that it would continue in the same vein as book 2 but, I will say that although the BDSM was still there. It was written in a way that - and I'm still not convinced someone who's been abused for 10 years would accept this, but they were not as bad as the others, so I didn't let them sway my view. But that book needed Better trigger warnings.

Now onto what I did like... (As spoiler free as possible) 

That we were back into the action, suspense and investigation of finding Sarah.

I loved that it was Ariana that was responsible for saving herself in a situation.

BUT WAS suitably traumatized by it even though it was self defense.

 Henry said 

"I thought I knew what evil looked like.

I was wrong.

 For years, I believed Victor Kane was the monster at the center of everything..." Well there's someone close who's been keeping secrets... Oops... No spoilers 😉

As the investigation deepend, I was literally ignoring everything else other than reading the next page.

And that was how it continued up to the ending. 

I will say that there is a lot to trigger readers, so it's not a series I'd recommended jumping blindly into just because you have read some dark romance before. Check out the triggers. 

But overall... This story really was an emotional, thrilling action packed read that I'm glad I stuck with to find out if Ariana and Henry get their happy ever after...

At The end of this book, you get a sneak peek into Blake's book... So maybe Henry and Ariana will Pop up in that. 

I'm assuming it will be another dark Read, but I was already intrigued by his past in this book to know that I want to read it when it's out.

The Prize by Vanessa Fewings

Kat's rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third book in this trilogy and boy I really got into the story and couldn't put it down. In this last adventure, Zara puts everything on the line, her reputation, job, and her history all for her lover—Tobias Wilder. Keeping his secret has cost her, but hopefully Tobias and Zara can prove her credibility in the art world and her father's reputation, and bring to justice the person responsible for stealing precious artifacts and priceless paintings, They will have to use all their combined experience and knowledge to bring the truth of an unscrupulous mega-rich billionaire and his son to justice.

With Tobias's ingenious inventions, they set off to capture their prize, and hopefully, they will get the chance to spend their future together.

Now what I didn't like about the book, well the blurb on this book has a bit of a spoiler ( I would be a bit fed up to be honest if I had accidentally read this blurb before reading the first book... as it gives the plot twist of book 1 away) But that was it... I loved this book, the pacing, the way the author brings the world of art into the book, which made me want to stop and google the paintings that were mentioned in the book, I wanted to go sit in a museum and sit in front of a painting, to just 'BE' and absorb the art. Hopefully, I will get a chance to do that soon but I will have to make do with my screensaver on my laptop which has a mix of famous art paintings as well as famous photographs to keep my artistic muse satisfied.

I do love reading books that bring you not only great characters you can get invested in, but also expand your imagination, knowledge, and inspiration in the setting of the story. This book did this and I just loved picking it up and wondering where Zara and Tobias would lead me to next.

I have enjoyed all three books But As I mentioned above, try to ignore the blurb of this book, grab book 1 and get reading.

A life she never imagined...and a love she can’t deny

Zara Leighton has risked everything to track down the elusive art thief known as Icon, only to discover him already in her arms: the billionaire tech genius—and her lover—Tobias Wilder. Zara wants to resist Tobias, to deny his fiercely sexy smile and their sizzling chemistry. But instead, she agrees to help him one more time.

Tobias will do anything to protect Zara, but he needs her for one last ultimate job: a job that will clear both their names and grant them a future together... if they can pull it off.

The danger is real. The stakes are unbelievably high. But when it comes to love, there’s only one prize that matters…

Can she outwit the ultimate master in a timeless game of seduction? 

Chasing Icon, the world’s most notorious art thief, was the most seductive thrill of art investigator Zara Leighton’s career…until the clues led her to the man who holds command of her body and heart, Tobias Wilder, a billionaire with charisma to spare. Her duty to capture him is complicated by the intensity of their passion. Her will to end their connection is tinted with red-hot need to never let him go. Tobias’s heists are about more than money or ego, but no one—not even Zara—can guess at his true motivation. But how can he pursue his deepest calling when it pits him against Zara, the love of his life? 

REVIEW

The Game by Vanessa Fewings

Kat's rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book 2 of this series had our intrepid Art investigator Zara Leighton falling down the rabbit hole of lust and attraction as Tobias has swept her off her feet, but the more she gets to know about Tobias, the more clues to who ICON is start to point to Tobias, and Zara is now facing the ultimate dilemma. Zara has always ‘done the right thing’ her new job is on the line, and when a painting appears that cast’s doubt on her father and therefore her integrity, Tobias is there to help… Will Zara give into her heart or listen to her head?

The Author takes you on a tumultuous journey into the art world where the Mega rich will do anything to own a priceless piece of art.

We learn more about why ICON is selective in his targets, and I couldn’t help but route for him, and hoped that Zara would listen to her heart. I was ‘googling ‘ pictures as they were described in the book, as the descriptive writing intrigued me to actually see if I could see what Zara saw in each painting. It was fun, and that’s the one benefit of an e-book… I know I could just type it into a search engine if I was reading a paperback… but I am lazy sometimes and it’s just a click of a finger on my kindle!

There is more action in this book, and the storyline keeps you glued to the pages, I dived into book 3 as soon as I finished.

I really enjoyed the book and I think I will miss these characters when I have finished.

REVIEW

The Chase by Vanessa Fewings

Kat's rating: 4 of 5 stars

I first heard of this series at a book signing, where Ms Fewing was attending (very lovely person to meet I may add) and as I love Art, and suspense books this series was the one I wished to read. I was lucky that a few months later there was a promotion for the next book in the series - The Prize. So I am reviewing this book in advance for that release.

I enjoyed this book, the intrigue, suspense and also the romance. Our main character Zara first love is Art, the history, the uniqueness of each artist, and the way each painting is seen by the individual. I really got how she viewed art so it was easy to get into the book and follow Zara as she entered the exclusive job at one of London’s top art investigation firms,

Zara's talent for seeing deep into paintings means that she ends up on the team that is helping the police hunt for 'Icon', the mysterious international art thief, he seems to be methodical, daring and selective in his heists, which in turn is baffling the authorities, but as.Zara delves deeper into the case, her personal life becomes more complicated also with the tragedy of her past coming to haunt her as she begins to make a future for herself doing something she loves.

When she meets Tobias Wilder, a billionaire who needs her expertise and her discretion. Wilder is an Alpha Male, used to having everything his way, but the sparks fly between them, as their relationship develops Zara can't help surrendering to the way he makes her feel, but will the secrets that Tobias is hiding kill the budding relationship? and the other question is...

Who is Icon?

Well I know now, you will just have to read the book to find you yourself.
