I actually enjoyed this book. It maybe was a little slow in places, but I think that helps with character development sometimes. It can get a little repetitive, but it wasn’t too much. I don’t feel either main character was unbalanced either. Looking forward to the next one. Both voice actors did a great job.

"To all the readers who want an MMC that will absolutely burn the world down for her."
The above is the dedication Charlotte Mallory writes at the beginning of her book, The Secrets of Jane: Forgotten, and what a perfect way to hint to readers what we're getting into! I gotta say that Soren Latham is my new favorite book boyfriend. He is depraved in the best sense of the word and ruthless when it comes to protecting the ones he loves. I love that Soren has empath abilities as well. Empathy is an ability I don't often see in Romantasy/Fantasy Romance books. It is refreshing to see it in a main character, especially a male main character. The way Soren can read Jane's emotions/feelings and respond with just the right action/behavior made me swoon!
I like the FMC, Jane, as well. She has this lost identity thing going on. She's a badass. She can fight. She won't let anyone intimidate her. She's fearlessly protective of the ones she loves. And she has healing abilities. Her background is a mystery. As I read through the book, details about her upbringing slowly become unearthed. Discovering her origins was a main motivator for me to keep turning the page.
The banter between Jane and Soren is GOLD! It really makes the book special. I like their relationship dynamics and how he uses his empathy to help Jane heal from the past. What a sweet mercenary!
I think Charlotte Mallory did a wonderful job with the pacing of her book. I didn't think it was too slow or too fast. It was perfect! I didn't find myself getting bored or getting lost with world building. The last 20 percent of the book is especially exciting! Speaking of world building, Charlotte Mallory also does this well in her book. We jump in to the action and get the details about the world as we follow the plot.
The book ends in a cliff hanger, but it's a good one! I can't wait to read book 2, The Secrets of Jane: Reborn. I hear it comes out in March 2025. I only have to wait a few more months! Yay! I applied for an eARC of Reborn, crossing my fingers I get accepted!
If you enjoy a rough MMC who is actually a cinnamon roll on the inside, pirates, mercenaries, discovering lost identities, a little depravity, and some spicy scenes, you will enjoy The Secrets of Jane: Forgotten.
Happy reading friends!

Dark romantic fantasy with a strong bada$$ FMC who can stand her ground against the morally gray MMC?! Yes. Please!
