Darcy: Guarded Hearts Book 5 Kindle Edition

by Claire Marta (Author), Nia Farrell (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 30 ratings
Darcy Takahara’s distrust of supernaturals makes her wary of
cadre members Zana Sasani and Lukas Schmidt.

Darcy Takahara’s experience with dark forces puts her at odds with the men at the Citadel. With her cousin in their clutches, she’s not sure they can be trusted.

Driven by her own agenda, she accepts a teaching position at The Haven, a private boys’ school in rural New York. She’s on the trail of her ex-lover, Dr. Liu Chan, the former member of an elite secret order. Discovering him on staff at the school, she fears Liu is up to his old tricks.

Gaining the trust of those around her is imperative. Darcy does what she must to infiltrate their ranks and learn Liu’s secrets. When things take a devastating turn, she’s forced to seek the help of two men she’s been trying to avoid.

Zana Sasani and Lukas Schmidt have been watching Raven’s cousin for a while. The Asian beauty is feisty and strong, and they’ve both fallen head over heels for her.

The problem is she can’t be trusted. When circumstances force a wary truce, the men think they have their chance to win their fated mate. But Darcy’s mission is far from over. With an old enemy rising, the men must work quickly to aid her or risk losing her forever.

    So many feelings about this book, that I couldn’t write my review after finishing like I normally do. Instead I needed to allow my brain to soak in all the glorious darkness that this book is.
    Firstly, when you start to read this book, be prepared to read it in one go. You may not stop, adult, or participate in life until you’ve finished it.
    When we met Darcy I wanted to punch her in throat for the way she behaved and the things she did. Should’ve known better. These two nefarious authors had me do an about face and now I’m wanting to protect Darcy UGH!! Not fair guys!
    Seriously though, get into this series because it truly is one where no stones are left unturned, no characters make it through without injury and no one is truly what they seem.

    The next in the continuing saga of the Guarded Hearts, Darcy, our fiercest fate mate to date, discovers hidden secrets and forges a new place for herself in this world of shifters and paranormal guardians, and villains. As with the other books in this series, there is plenty of sexy shelter, steam and alpha males and strong female characters who are not afraid of their own sexuality. As always those with triggers proceed with caution, dub/con non/con bondage and violence.

    This is book 5 in the Guarded Hearts series by Nia Farrell and Claire Marta. Darcy’s journey with Zana and Lukas has many twists and turns and can only be understood if you have read Books 1-4 first. A definite must read!!

    Claire and Nia has again produced a "I can't stop reading" book. A few times I got so upset with Darcy I could slap her, and those darn gargoyles, stubborn as always.. Darcy brought in a new unexpected twist and I can't wait to see how she'll deliver...

    Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2020

    I absolutely loved this book!! Darcy was introduced earlier in the series but these authors take to a whole nother level when they gave her her own book. Zana and Lukas can’t keep their eyes off Darcy when she first comes to the Citadel to visit Raven. But she is banished from the grounds because she helped Riley leave and Zana and Lukas are beside themselves because they haven’t had contact with her to know if she’s OK. When she shows up on their doorstep in a state of shock Zana and Lukas jump into action to figure out the cause. Will they be able to protect her? I can’t wait for more of this series!!!

    I liked Darcy when we first met her in Raven, but then we got to Riley, and I didn't like or trust her anymore.

    I have to admit that I didn't like her at the beginning of this one either, but she quickly redeemed herself. I got to understand some of her choices and began to understand why she did what she did. Not an excuse, but an understanding at least.

    I can't wait for the next book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars More than an extra touch

    Darcy finally got her own book. I can’t say I really liked her, when we met her in earlier stories, but I was facinated by her.
    Following her and understanding what drives her made me like her a little bit more. That she became more than what she was and compared to the other fated mates, gave it an extra touch.
    I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book
