Ancient Vengeance by Katie Reus

4.0

This is the second book in the series and follows the story of Stella and Rhodes. Stella is the younger sister of Juniper from the first book. This can be read as a standalone as the beginning of the story has a basic catch up of the world and history.

Rhodes has been tasked with taking princess Stella... and his employers are not fussy about her condition. Not that long ago, her parents opened their realm and formed an alliance with New Orleans. Stella's long lost sister had been in New Orleans before returning home. Stella yearns for the adventure of travelling since she was very much overprotected by her family. However, she runs into trouble on her way to New Orleans and is lucky Rhodes is there to help her. He had already decided not to harm her upon seeing her and is now completely smitten.

Rhodes is the ultimate protector and is so delightfully broody! Of course, when his deception about his true mission comes to light, Stella has to come to terms with his nature.
