Heartmate (Celta Series Book 1) Robin D. Owens Review
On Thursdays, I am featuring review of romances I adore. TBT!
I have reread this book so many times. Comfort book read for the win!
Danith Mallow is irresistibly drawn to the magnificent necklace on display in T'Ash's shop, but she is wary of its creator, despite an overpowering attraction. In a world where everyone is defined by their psychic ability, Danith has little, and thus is at the opposite end of the social spectrum from T'Ash. But T'Ash refuses to accept her rejection, and sees it as a challenge instead. They are HeartMates, but can T'Ash persuade his beloved to accept her destiny by his side?
Review
This is hands down one of my favorite romance series and this first book is wonderful. I love this book because it straddles the genres of science fiction romance, fantasy romance, and regency.
The magic system in this world is compelling. The world building excellent and anthropological. The character development superb. The heroine and the heroine always grow. And then there are the talking cats. I LOVE THE TALKING CATS! They are great comic relief.
I have read this book at least 10 times. Every time a new book in the series comes out, I read it and then the entire series again. These are fated mate books but the love is always earned.
The hero in this book is great. He wants a family and love. I adore that in a hero. He is fairly clueless about how to court and get what he wants. He is an big strong alpha artist warrior and lord. He is also tortured and grew up in the streets.
Dainth is of a different class and was treated as if she had little value most of her life as an orphan and someone with little apparent magical talent. She goes through a major adjustment in status during the novel.
The love story is sweet, sexy, compelling, and reread able.
I love it each time I read it. Dang. I want to go read it again.
