Review:
The finale of
the fabulous Dark Sword Series was a long awaited story here at the Romance
Witch Reviews. Following this story
since the beginning has emotionally invested me in the HEA awaiting Broc and
Sonya for all these years. The evil has
been coming for them from the beginning, but with their skills and the love
they are ready to share there can be no question of good prevailing and love
blossoming between these two great people.
Our story picks right up with Broc chasing
after Sonya, who’s run from Castle MacLeod in her grief over her sisters death and
the fear that she’s lost her magic. With
Deidre amassing her forces to attack again Broc knows he doesn't have much time
to find Sonya and return her to where she belongs. Riddled with guilt over the harsh words he
tossed at her in his own grief, Broc is moving against the clock tracing her
signature to the end. When he finds her
he fears she won’t make it.
Hurt and delirious with fever, Sonya is unable
to believe that Broc has come for her.
She feels her magic has left her leaving her unable to heal herself and
making her weak with exhaustion and unable to go any farther. Knowing she is hunted by natural and
supernatural predators leaves her running recklessly right into even more
danger. When she suddenly awakens from
her fevered sleep to find herself warm, safe and healing, she is both thrilled
and terrified to find that Broc has come to take her back to the castle and the
friends she fears she has left down.
Dealing with the attraction they have both felt
for years, continuing to try to deny their feelings, Broc and Sonya find
themselves hunted by wyrran, sent by Deidre to capture them. She is obviously determined to catch her
prey, leaving Broc and Sonya forced to separate in order to find a way to
safety. But when Broc is captured, Sonya
refuses to leave him to Deidre’s diabolical and deranged devices for long.
On a quest now to find the artifact to defeat Deidre
once and for all, Sonya and Broc are no longer able to deny their passion and
the sensual connection that’s been there since the beginning. Making love to Sonya is all Broc knew it
could be, but knowing he’ll eventually have to give her up is tearing him
apart. Sonya is dealing with her own
fears as her magic slowly begins to return and she fears when they return to
the castle, Broc will once again deny them the love they both need to survive.
Full of angst, sweetness and magick, the
romance between Broc and Sonya is long overdue and fills you with happiness as
they finally come together. Broc is once
again showed as a dangerous opponent and fighter, but the courage Sonya shows
in the face of danger is surprising and very well shown. The fears that have always run their lives
are shucked like an old cloak leaving them with immense new possibilities and
the chance to finally become who they were always meant to be, both as a couple
and as their own people.
There was an interesting twist to the overall
plot at the end of this book, leading to the spin off series called the Dark
Warrior series. The world of the
Warriors is changed forever and now it is time to find out what new opponent
they will have to face and the challenges that will lead the bachelor Warriors
into a strange new world. Look for the
first novel Midnight’s Master and enjoy the show.
