These are books I’ve read and really enjoyed. Most of
what I talk about will probably be paranormal/scifi but not always. Although
it’s rare, I do read some contemporary.
This week is: Constant
(The Valespian Pact Book 3) by Lexi Ander

Blurb:
Can a Warlord and a Prince find love when the galaxy
is on the brink of war?
Chief Warlord Sohm'lan has a job he loves protecting
the family who claims him as one of their own. He has known the loss of a mate
and believed he would walk alone for the rest of his life… that is until Prince
Mestor demanded more from him than duty. Unable to fathom why Mestor would want
a widowed older warrior, Sohm'lan maintains his distance believing Mestor will
eventually choose an amor closer in age and experience, even though the thought
causes him more pain than it should.
Prince Mestor is tired of pretending and his patience
is eroding. He needs Sohm'lan to see past their respective ranks and duties to
who Mestor is underneath it all. Worried Sohm'lan will be lost to him if he
pushes too hard, Mestor and Sohm'lan are caught in a dance of denied desires
and tangled obligations.
Warlord Sohm'lan and Prince Mestor struggle to find a
way to their heart's desire against the backdrop of galactic conspiracies, the
dangerous mission escorting the Fal'Amoric royals, and discoveries within the
Vondorian family that threaten to tear apart everything they hold dear. The two
of them stand together to fight the coming battle whatever the consequences.
*Note: Constant is 250,000 words and is
the third book in the series that must be read in order.
My thoughts: It’s here! It’s here! Y’all, when I heard this book was coming, I can not
tell you how loudly I yelled lol. I’m a huge fan of this series. You want excellent
scifi worldbuilding, this is the book for you. The details are so clear, so
crisp…. It’ll impress you. It did me. Lexi doesn’t build just one world. No,
she builds a whole frigging universe lol. Speaking from experience, that’s not
easy!
This book covers Warlord Sohm’lan and Prince Mestor’s relationship,
but it’s so much more than that. We get an in-depth look at the younglings of
the royal Vondorion family. We see how they feel, how they react to what’s
going on with Zeus and other plot points.
You absolutely need to read Alpha Trine and Striker
first, or you will be completely lost, in my opinion. This story runs parallel
to events in Striker but the overall plot *is* continued. Make sure you have plenty of time when you start this. You won’t want to put it down lol.
