( ) I have to admit, I was not looking forward to Deacon. If you remember, I wasn’t overly fond of Ashwin, published earlier this year. Boy oh boy am I glad that I decided to keep going with this series. Where Ashwin gave us a more detailed look into Gideon and his Riders, it never really felt like a complete story to me. Deacon, however, is 100% complete and more importantly, should probably be called Ana. As much as this book was about Deacon, it also featured one badass female solider: Ana. She made the book for me. Kit Rocha can write strong females and in this book, Ana is right up there with Lex from the Beyond series. Anyway, Deacon gave us more insight into the sector, threw me for a twist I did not see coming, was full of action and of course smut, and made me want to keep going with the series. I don’t know how many more books are planned for this series but you can be damn sure that I’ll be waiting for them all if they are anything like this one. https://thesebooksaremyfriends.wordpress.com/ Gideon's Riders are a spinoff from the Beyond series. It focuses on the Riders from Sector 1. Deacon has been the leader of the Riders for many years. He's been the one to help build them up into the feared force that they are and has led the Riders through good times and bad, and through the war with Eden, where 30 Riders were lost all at once, including Ana's father. Ana's father trained her to be a Rider. It didn't matter that there had never been a female Rider, that's how he trained her. Being a Rider is all Ana ever wanted to do, and Deacon and Gideon gave her the chance. But, she feels like she has the weight of the sector on her shoulders because everyone is waiting for her to fail. That means that no matter how stern yet bangable Deacon is, she shouldn't even think about him that way. She doesn't want to give anyone the chance to say that the only reason she's a Rider is because she was banging Deacon. But when Deacon's past comes up to bite the Riders, can Deacon and Ana continue to fight their attraction or are they going to act on it? All of the books in this world are wonderful. No one is shamed for who they love or how many they love, especially in Sector 1. And there is a lot of love to go around. I love when Ana talks to Gideon and tells him how she feels and what she thinks needs to happen. Gideon, as always, is worried about his Riders, and wants them to be happy. He hates to see them lonely and miserable. Gideon is very thoughtful. I love finding out more history from Deacon. He's just been shown as the face of the Riders, stern and implacable, so seeing the human under that is nice. Can't wait for the rest of the series. I received an ARC from the author. You received an honest and voluntary review from me. 4 "Follow Instructions or Your Heart" Stars! Deacon features an action-filled plot with a touch of suspense and a love story with a touch of a forbidden love theme. For those of you who are familiar with Kit Rocha's predecessor series, The Beyond Series, this is a spin-off series that takes place chronologically after the war is over and is primarily focused on Section 1. All that said it is not necessary to have read the Beyond Series to be able to enjoy this series. If you haven't though, I would recommend that you at least read book 1 (Ashwin) as it will give additional background about Gideon's Riders and the royal families of Sector 1 which although not essential for an enjoyment of the romance in Deacon definitely help put the political and ideological influences in context. One of the factors that attracted me to this book was the heroine, Ana. Ana is the only female Gideon Rider and therefore feels like she has big shoes to fill. Always cognizant that her actions will affect the many young girls who look up to and admire her, never mind the ones that hope to follow in her footsteps, Ana feels like she (more than any other Gideon Rider) must lead an exemplary life above criticism from anyone. Complicating Ana's hope to lead a life as a Gideon's Rider above reproach is Deacon. Deacon is the longest living Gideon Rider and technically her boss. As her leader, any romantic connections could be misconstrued and call into question her decisions in battle. Try though she and he might though, there is definitely an attraction that binds them beyond the normal ties of co-workers or a brother and sister in arms. And when a shocking secret is revealed about Deacon's past, and the sordid circumstances as to how he came to be among the Gideon's Rider's ranks comes to the surface, Ana's as well as the other Gideon's Riders loyalties will be tested. Can Deacon be trusted? Is it possible to love and also be a martyr and ruthless defender of one's sector as all Gideon Rider's are required to be? The professional quandary's that Ana must navigate and survive are not unlike many of the struggles that professional women endure when their loyalties between home and work come into question. I enjoyed seeing Ana stay true to herself, including her big heart, and still find a way to succeed. Therefore I think this is an inspirational story that PNR/dystopian science fiction romance lovers, particularly women, will enjoy. Now I can't wait for the next book in the series, Ivan, which will feature Ivan. Source: Review copy provided for review purposes. näyttää 5/5 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

HTML: Book #2 in explosive new series from bestselling author Kit Rocha... Ana has trained most of her life to achieve one goal: to prove that anything men can do, she can do better. Now she??s Sector One??s first female Rider, and being the best is the only way to ensure she won??t be its last. Distractions aren??t allowed??especially not her painful attraction to the reserved but demanding leader whose stern, grumpy demeanor has already gotten into her head. Deacon has spent the last twenty years trying to atone for his past, but the blood he spilled as a mercenary and assassin will never wash away entirely. If his riders knew the extent of his sins, he??d lose their trust and respect. It??s easier to keep them all at arm??s length, especially Ana. But his newest recruit??s stubbornness is starting to crack his defenses. And their sparring matches are driving him wild. The passion sparking between them can??t be denied, but neither can the vengeance barreling toward Deacon. When his old squad comes back to punish him for his betrayal, Ana and the Riders are squarely in the line of fire. The only way to save his people may be to make the ultimate sacrifice. But first, he has to convince Ana not to follow him straight into hell. Praise for Gideon??s Riders ??There??s a lot riding on Ashwin, a lot expected of the first novel in a new series by a popular author that makes it a tricky, tight rope to walk. Kit Rocha deftly skips down that line with skill, respect, crushing emotions, and breath-taking imagination.? ?? Heroes & Heartbreakers ??Ashwin gives readers a seemingly impossible romance while continuing to entice readers to join them in this new world that celebrates love, laughter, and life.? ?? Smexybooks ??For me this first book in the new series was just as consuming and addicting as its predecessors. I??m so ready for what comes next. Deacon? Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
