This was a fun read. I liked the adventure theme, spicy scenes were average. I'm not a huge second chance romance reader but it was cute. I did like that we got more exposure to "The Protectors." I just didn't feel like I needed to keep reading

I am a sucker for a good Orc and second chance romance and this book definitely delivered! It’s like Indiana Jones meets monsters and I was here for it.

This was my first book by Trish and I now need to go and read the rest because I am obsessed! Andromeda (Andy) and Luke are very much still in love with each other despite being divorced. Andy is this badass agent who is sent on a rescue mission and the last person she expects to rescue is Luke. He is such a cinnamon roll, I love it. I loved how action packed the story is and tie-ins with history. Can’t forget the passion between Andy and Luke when they come together, it’s hot

“‘All of my travels…every wonder I’ve ever seen, and nothing has ever compared to you.’”

Trish knows exactly what she’s doing when it comes to a second chance romance

● Monster Romance
● Second Chance Romance

I liked this book. I really loved the adventure story aspect! Detail use was good as well as world building. The FMC fear during the river crossing scene had me laughing while reading. It was truly comical. The story kept me engaged and I look forward to reading more books by Trish.

My heat rating is based on the amount of occurrence, length of scenes, and how filthy/explicit. This rates somewhere in the 2-3 range. For numbers sake, I'll give it a 3/5

🔥 “I can’t breathe without you. You’re the missing piece of my soul.”
~~~
Andromeda is an absolute badass! She’s a very capable agent of the Archive and one lady who knows how to kick butt. Even more, she’s so fierce, strong and brave. And she will do everything in her power to protect the people she cares about, even if it means going against orders. I loved her so, so much!

Luke is nerdy, brilliant and so sweet! He’s big, strong and always in pursuit of knowledge. And he might be peaceful and get sick at the sight of blood, but when needed, Luke can show as much courage and badassery as the most capable agent of the Archive. And you know what they say about the quiet ones… Shy on the streets, but, oh boy, what a magnificent monster between the sheets! That huge green orc is such a wonderful male and I absolutely adored every single thing about him!

I loved everything that happened between Andy and Luke! They have a past neither of them has gotten over. Then, Luke is captured by the Protectors and Andromeda is sent to retrieve her ex-husband from the enemy. But the mission doesn’t go according to plan and a new mission is in place when Andy discovers that Luke’s quest is a matter of life and death. I adored everything about those two - the undeniable chemistry, the banters, the tension, the snark, the serious and much needed conversations, the ways they worked through their issues and all the ways they worked together and were there for each other in their weaker moments. And the passion!!! The spice was off-the-charts hot!!! When that brainy orc went all bossy, dominant and possessive… 🥵🥵🥵 I couldn’t get enough of those two! Luke and Andy were such opposites and, yet, so perfect for each other and more than deserved a second chance to find happiness and love together.

In addition, the storyline was phenomenal! If you love Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones, you’re definitely going to love this story, too! There’s adventure, there’s danger, there are ancient mystical artifacts, there are hidden traps and trials that will test a person’s mind, body and soul. And, there are also some vile baddies bent on world domination that need to be dealt with. With everything happening, I was glued to the pages till the very end.

Overall, Abandon is another remarkable addition to the series! It’s filled with non-stop action, danger, adventure, drama, suspense, twists, blazing hot passion and spectacular characters.

I couldn’t put it down and absolutely loved every page of it!

And with that epilogue, I cannot wait to see what will happen next!
