From USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Hefner

Book #6.5 in the Etherya’s Earth series

General Garridan thrived for centuries without a bonded mate. Born an aristocrat, he relinquished his family’s wealth and privilege to fight in the Vampyre immortal army. Although his father wants him to bond with an aristocrat, Garridan only has eyes for one woman.

Siora is a natural warrior. When the army finally allows women to join, she vows to become the first female battalion leader. Dreams of an amber-eyed Vampyre general have no place in her world, even if he is the only man who’s ever made her long for a bonded mate.

Consumed by her skill and effort, along with her inherent natural beauty, Garridan offers to help Siora secure a leadership position as they near the final battle with Bakari. Although she swears they have no future, he yearns to claim the stubborn woman as his mate. Can two warriors from different paths find love or will fear douse their spark before it’s barely begun to burn?

      5.0 out of 5 stars Soldier Sexual Tension
      Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2023
      Verified Purchase
      Garridan is a general for the immortal army, and Siora is a soldier working her way up since women are now able to be soldiers, thank you very much Miranda and Evie. Anyway, Garridan and Siora bump heads all the time during training, we saw that in the previous book, then they decide to train together extra hours at the end of the day, so he can help fix her tell, and help her to be even better since she’s already one of their top soldiers. I think we can all imagine how the training goes, with all that sexual chemistry and aggression, wags eyebrows.

      Safe read with two tough as nails soldiers with so much sexual tension. A little resistance from her since they are from different worlds, him being of aristocratic lineage, and her being from a farmers lineage, but he’s patient and knows how to handle her. Great storyline, with a hfn.

      I like how Siora was able to showcase her strength on the battlefront, but also submit to her desires in private. Garridan's passion for the fierce warrior challenges his beliefs as he struggles to tame her wildness with his need to protect the one he wants to make his partner in all aspects of life.

      Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2022

      I’m so happy that Siora and Garridan got not only a love story, but a beautiful one at that!

      It may have been short in terms of reading, but it was perfect, and will fill the reader up with all the fuzzy feelings.

      When two warriors let each other past their barriers, expect nothing but tenderness and raw affection.

      I really enjoyed this novella!

      Siora has made it, she is a soldier. They now let females serve with the men. Garridan is in charge and for some reason she thinks he's out to get her. Nothing could be farther from the truth. He admires her and harbors others. Finally they finally come to an understanding. What will become of their growing attraction?

      An aristocrat General has a lot of feelings for an elite soldier and her mouthiness. There are complications but mates will triumph. Nice love story and good character formation for a short story.

      A cute little side story of two people not looking for love but find it anyway. I enjoyed this quick read with a strong FMC and I’m happy that she found what she wasn’t looking for and ended up with a HEA. I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed it.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Can these warriors find love?
      Reviewed in Canada on March 8, 2024
      Verified Purchase
      Garridan is a general in the Vampyre army. He was born an aristocrat but he wanted to be a soldier so he joined the army. His father, however, wants him to bond with an aristocrat. Specifically, Celine, but Garridan has no romantic feelings for her nor she for him.
      Siora grew up on a farm and still lives there with her father. She helps him whenever she can around her duties to the army. She works extra hard to prove herself in training, as one of the first females in the army, and is in the running to become one of the new squadron leaders. I love that Siora is described as tall, muscular, and broad shouldered as a warrior likely would be and she is totally a bad-a$$!
      Garridan and Siora butt heads constantly, each of them thinking the other is stubborn and antagonistic.
      After some one-on-one training, it starts to become evident to both of them that they may actually feel a bit differently about one another and the sexual tension becomes more than either of them can ignore. Siora believes nothing can come of that long term though since Garridan was born an aristocrat and she was not.
      As is often the case, misunderstandings cause a few issues that they need to work out.
      Even though this is a novella, there is still plenty of steamy romance! There are definitely more than a couple ways to get a workout in, am I right? ;)
      There are also some side plots that you just know are going to be addressed in a later book. I can’t wait!
