My Savior by Alanea Alder
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Book 4 of the “Bewitched and Bewildered” series. This installment features the tall drink of water Darian and witch Amelia.
This is the point in the series where I noticed that our characters are (figuratively) drowning in brothers. Between Aiden, Rheia, Darian and Amelia I’m losing track of these brothers and wondering why there’s no female siblings. It’s a small gripe but I feel better having mentioned it. Moving along now…
Darian is drowning in the darkness and is at risk of losing his soul. This is the first mated couple thus far where the male counterpart has resisted his mate. The first 3 stories featured the males being “all in” and I thought it was a refreshing twist. I’m thoroughly enjoying this series and with each book I become more and more besotted with these characters. Perhaps personal preference is to blame but I felt the “steamy” scenes were lacking.
Last complaint- Amelia is an empath and reveals that prior to being a cosmetologist she was a child psychologist. Apparently the emotions she was experiencing while working with these damaged children motivated her career change. I have no issue with this but I am annoyed that one of the male characters expresses that his value of Amelia increases when he realizes she previously held a job of higher value (in his opinion). Instead of backhanding the man who would make such a remark Darian considers this a compliment. Can we all agree that is unacceptable? Why are his “brothers” figuratively looking down their noses at Amelia’s career choice? What a pack of snobs!
Now I’m onto the next book! Happy reading!
