Broken by the Horde King
by Zoey Draven
5 Stars. Wow, I really enjoyed this book.
After reading blurb of Broken By The Horde King, and it’s about second chance, childhood friends to lovers with angst and unrequited love, I was sold! I went straight into reading it even though It’s part of a series and it’s already the 4th book, this book can easily be a stand alone. Also, I didn’t know it was as sci-fi romance, a first for me.
A summary:
Maeva is a human girl abandoned in a forest and was found and adopted by a Dakkari Alien Family. She grew up and raised in the Dakkari ways but she was subjected to bullying for being different thus makes her not able to talk. When she was 8 years old, he met a Dakkari Boy destined to be a King, his name was Kiran, at the time he was the prince and he comforted Maeva when he saw her crying, he gave her his name, which is a sacred thing in the Dakkari way of living. Kiran’s name was Maeva’s first words. Kiran and Maeva became inseparable friends, they grew up and it resulted to Maeva falling in love with Kiran. At 20 years old, Maeva wanted Kiran to know her feelings but he rejected and she felt humiliated. Also he went away to train to become a Horde King, without even saying goodbye. That leaves Maeva having a broken heart. The most devastating happened that cemented her cold heart was when her mother died and Kiran didn’t even show up. She vows to never fall in love to Kiran and to anyone.
9 years has passed and Maeva is an apprentice healer, she wanted to be a certified one or what they call a Mokkira.
Kiran, a Horde King went back after 9 years and he needed a Mokkira for his own horde. An incident happened, that led to Kiran and Maeva’s reunion. Kiran requested for Maeva to be his Mokkira. Maeva agreed but she was guarded, she still has feelings for Kiran after all those years but she can’t let her heart. Kiran realized his mistakes and wants her back in his life.
The story is very well written, the plot is engaging and not confusing for a first time reader of the series. I find myself hurt and emotional with the events. I really love how strong Maeva’s character.. it’s a rare thing to find a heroine who doesn’t give in too easily. She still loves him deeply but she’s distrustful and so she make it hard for him. Kiran is swoon worthy of a character, he acknowledged his mistake and really work to gain her, a true blue alpha possessive too. I love him! I love the reconciliation part, it was kind of slow burn but in a good way. The author did a good job at how she managed to make it angsty and emotional and at the same time, sweet and sexy.
I’ll definitely read the whole series now. 5 stars!
