ARC Review: Reaver by Larissa Ione

“I have officially inducted Reaver to the top of my book boyfriend list.” ~Under the Covers

Just when I thought I couldn’t love this woman more, here comes REAVER.  I’ve been waiting for his book since I read LETHAL RIDER and I found out all the little tidbits of information that left me craving his story.  He’s come a long way from when we first met him, and although I always knew he would be sexy…. I didn’t expect to fall so hard for him.  He is the perfect male.  The one you want by your side, the one you take home to meet the parents.  *sigh*  I have officially inducted Reaver to the top of my book boyfriend list.

But wait, that’s not where my fascination with this book ends.  I’m admittedly a fan of strong, tough heroines.  Kick ass and maybe a little mean. They may bite a bit.  Well, that’s Harvester.  Knowing their backstory, and knowing how they’ve both come so far and changed so much through the centuries, was already heartbreaking.  But seeing what Harvester has had to go through, what she’s willingly put herself through, was beautiful.  She is truly tough with a heart of gold.

I don’t want to bore you with the many reasons why I loved both Harvester and Reaver, just know that they are two of the most awesome characters in this series!  And they are perfect for each other.  I was unprepared for the extent of it.  REAVER does their story justice in every way.  The slow build up, the step by step unveiling of memories, the past colliding with who they are now.  I couldn’t have asked for Ms. Ione to do any better.  This was perfect.

As I’ve come to expect from Ms. Ione, REAVER had a lot of action and slow burn sexual tension.  The battles always get bigger and more dangerous and this was no exception.  But my favorite part for sure was the fact that the characters stayed true to who they’ve become.

I was so consumed in this story while reading it that I could hardly think of anything else.  I needed to see it all play out and see their HEA.  So thank you Ms. Ione for one of my most enjoyable paranormal reads this year!  I can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve next.
