Rogue Rider by Larissa IoneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Finally…..we have Reseph’s story!!!
After being the most malevolent and evil character in the previous 3 books, I was questioning how the author would be able to turn him into an endearing romantic hero that I could bond with as much as I have done with the other three Horsemen. Boy, did she do it!!!
We discover the real Reseph that his siblings always spoke about….the laid-back, loving, caring and fun person…and who ever guessed…a poet living inside him…forget Lord Byron, John Keats…Reseph’s words are sheer poetry…
Reseph is mysteriously found naked and unconscious in the woods by Jillian Cardiff. She’s been hiding since being attacked by demons and though she’s hesitant at first, takes him into her home.
When he wakes up, he has no memory of who he is. But as time passes, they begin to grow close together and fall in love. He doesn’t know why he’s appeared in Jillian’s life, but he knows that he wants to be with her. But what happens when his memory returns? Will it change their feelings? Despite those worries, they decide that their bond will overcome anything that happens in the future….carpe Diem……
But soon evil enters their peaceful life….demons attack Jillian’s next door neighbors and when demon hunters turn up; he knows that Jillian’s life is in danger. He refuses to leave her alone.
So, Jillian is not a weakling….she faces up to her fears and danger -
And when Reseph’s memories return and he finds out the horrors he has caused when he was controlled by Pestilence….he doubts if he can ever redeem himself…will he be able to fix all the bad and wrong things he’s done in the past? And how can Jillian still love him when she discovers that part of him?
Jillian turned out to be a heroine of worth. She had loved and trusted him before she knew of his past and that was never going to change. She knew the real Reseph. She would make any sacrifice, do anything to help Reseph overcome the danger and evil demons that were determined to destroy the goodness inside of him……and like Reseph lyrically told her…
…she will help him put things right, help him with gaining his family’s trust again and ultimately help him stop the Apocalypse.
The romance between Reseph and Jillian was sweet, delightful….but hey, don’t worry….steamy too….the sex scenes were pretty sexy and sensual…… their chemistry was intensely deep and I was happy that we finally have Reseph back – the lovable and fun person…..and that he has found peace and love in his life.
Lords of Deliverance is an incredible and engaging series and the author has created captivating characters, heroic heroes, unique and vivid worlds that make it a thrilling and enjoyable read.
This book wraps up the stories of the Horsemen but with the next book being about Reaver (who has played a large part in the four books) and wicked Harvester…am sure we will be seeing more of Ares, Limos, Thanatos, Reseph and their families again.
Can’t wait!!!
