Great series

I read the whole series in just a couple of days. It took a couple of pages before I really got into that first book. I was surprised it was only one POV. I was worried it would feel one side but the way it was written it worked so well.

I liked all of the characters. How she defined what family was and what love looked like for her.

The story although has a lot of the same points this genre has, it was still unique enough to feel different. Would read the series again and definitely read this author again.

Bond of Destiny begins with high adrenaline and picks up right where we left Rowan, in the clutches of her deranged father.  

In the final book of this non-stop action fantasy trilogy, Rowen and her mates tie up loose ends and finally figure out how to make their bond work for them. The whole trilogy has been quite an adventure and everything wraps up wonderfully.

Every bond mate is different and for Rowan, having five mates is unique. She loves each of her men individually and she wants them to love her for herself and not because some fate decides. In this final book she finally comes to terms with their love and how strong it has become. Rowan has dealt with a lot in a very short amount of time and while trouble seems to follow her and her mates wherever they go, they always step up and are stronger when they all fight together. 

Once they finally recognize that their love really will conquer evil, they stay strong and work to bring about change. It's not an easy road and there is angst and turmoil to get there, but what a worthy cause to have love as the backbone in any foundation.

Told from Rowan's POV, this reverse harem is full of action and steamy moments which focus solely on the heroine's pleasure. 

I finally finished a series and it was pretty good 🥲 
This last book was more action packed (as action packed as it could be considering we’re focused on 6 people and a whole plot) but I really liked Rowan, and I was so glad when the bullying stopped 🫠 
The found family was so good & the epilogue was my fav and what I wanted.
Tessa has become a new comfort read author.

Rowan started this series as a human girl with problems at home and she has progressed so far! If you love seeing the FMC go from an ordinary person with ordinary problems, to an amazing and fierce woman, who knows her own worth and brings out the best in everyone around her, then this series is for you. Rowan's men are all so different from each other but when they all collaborate and surround their girl with love, there's nothing they can't do. Although parts of this book are a bit fade to black (torture, not the steamy parts) I found myself filling in the missing bits with my own imagination - that's not a bad thing, in fact I found myself even more engrossed. For a first series, Tessa Hale has done an incredible job. I can't wait to see what her incredible brain thinks up for us next and I'm already feeling pretty buzzed about her new upcoming series!
