The Barren
Kelderan Runic Warriors #2
by Jessie Donovan
Goodreads blurb: Vala Yarlen is one of the Barren—an infertile
female ostracized from the rest of Kelderan society with others of her kind. So
when she’s given the opportunity to join the new colony on a human-occupied
planet, she jumps at the chance for a fresh start. The only downside is that
she has to serve General Thorin Jarrell for the duration of the journey. The
cool, distant male goes out of his way to show his disdain of her. But for the
chance at freedom, Vala endeavors to endure.
Thorin Jarrell is the general in command of the Kelderan colony transport ship. After years of concealing his true parentage and working his way through the ranks of the army, Thorin will do anything to make his mission a success. What he didn’t count on was to find the female assigned to clean his quarters unconscious on the floor. The reason why throws his life into disarray.
Yet as Thorin tries to help Vala recover, the ship encounters trouble. Will they ever reach Jasvar alive? And if so, will Thorin and Vala find a way to be together despite the mountain of obstacles standing in their way?

About the Author: Jessie Donovan wrote her first story at age five,
and after discovering the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey in
junior high, realized that people actually wanted to read stories like those
floating around inside her head. From there on out, she was determined to tap
into her over-active imagination and write a book someday.
After living abroad for five years and earning degrees in Japanese, Anthropology, and Secondary Education, she buckled down and finally wrote her first full-length book. While that story will never see the light of day, it laid the world-building groundwork of what would become her debut paranormal romance, Blaze of Secrets.
Jessie loves to interact with readers. When not reading or traipsing around some foreign country on a shoestring, can often be found on Facebook and Twitter.
The one thing you'll find in all of Jessie's stories are strong, capable women and the people who love them.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5
Unicorns - I loved it!!!
***I choose what I read and review
based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I received a review copy of this
book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!
The
cover is definitely eye catching!
This
is the 2nd book in the series, and it is for adults only due to the
steamy content. While reading in order
is not required, it is much better if you do because when previous events are
mentioned you will know and the characters are richer. I want to mention that a woman is battered in the book,
so if you are sensitive this topic take appropriate measures.
This
book was very interesting and action packed.
I was hooked from the beginning. I didn’t want to put it down at all. I already loved Vala from book 1 because she
is awesome, but in this book, she is even more so. Her tolerance and understanding is epic. Thorin was not high in my favorite list, but
he is definitely something else. Vala
opens your eyes to him as you read, and it is an amazing journey. I was secretly hoping something would happen,
but it didn’t. I am definitely hooked on
this series.
Jessie
always develops the most amazing stories that leave me wanting more and loving
her HEAs. I can’t wait to see what she
cooks up next!
I
highly recommend to sci-fi fans who love space travel, treachery, and romance
especially if you liked book 1!
