About this listen

Against all odds, Althea Zoltaire emerged from her trials as a champion. Now, she must train even harder and prepare herself to become a true warrior of Thezmarr.

But Thea’s world is turned upside down as she struggles to navigate her newfound magic and uncover the secrets of her past. Slowly, she begins to untangle the truth about her family, her powers, and the evil that threatens to engulf the kingdom.

When Wilder Hawthorne returns to be her official mentor, everything changes. Dark forces are gathering, and he will stop at nothing to prepare her for the challenges to come, even if it means breaking her.

As war looms and their quest for answers leads master and apprentice deeper into danger, the undeniable connection between them intensifies—defying all odds, but also threatening to tear them apart.

With secrets unravelling and evil closing in, Thea and Wilder fight to save the world and each other. The fate of the realms rests in their hands. Will they emerge victorious, or will the darkness consume them both?

Full of action, adventure, and steamy romance, Vows & Ruins is the second book in the spellbinding epic romantic fantasy series The Legends of Thezmarr.

so many Spicy scenes in this one!

The story is really good, but the amount of smut, was a bit too much for me.
the story about their relationship and the kingdom, was really intriguing.

Slow moments

Definitely a good read, however it was really really hard to get through the center of this book. There is a lot of unnecessary romance like a lot.

I can’t, am crying 😭 no it just can’t be true. I love this series and Yeap it’s going to my top favorites this year. And it’s so worth a credit heck use cash if you’re out of credits because you won’t regret it!! 🤗

Wilder is a top tier swoony MMC

It is official. Wilder Hawthorne is a top tear swoony MMC. 🫠

He’s obsessed. He fusses over her. He lets her fight her own battles. Ugh. He’s everything I want in a Romantasy Leading Man. 🥰

Thea is just as badass as ever. Still wildly stubborn, especially when it comes to anything other than officially becoming a Warsword.

And we start to learn more about the “villain”baddie of the story, and although she’s still mysterious, she seems just as badass as Thea. (I’m using “” here, because I’m not convinced?? 🧐)

The final climactic scene was super exciting, and then, just when it’s over…🤯. So, jumping IMMEDIATELY into Book 3!!!

Audiobook notes: Both narrators do a great job. I’m really enjoying the audios/KU combination.

What this book is giving:
✅ Romantasy
✅ Dual POV
✅ Warsword & Apprentice
✅ We can’t. We shouldn’t.
✅ Battles
✅ Mysterious badass lady “villain”
✅ Magic
✅ Cliffhanger

Guardians of Thezzmer

Lots of action; great story!! Characters well developed but not a litany of details to bog things down, but enough to build characters and a continuation of the series.

Spicy and tough women and battles

Overall I liked this book. The spiciness sometimes was a bit much because it was just there to be there and not a pivotal part of the story.
The battle scenes were great and needed more of those.
Thea is a bit immature and I kept forgetting she was in her mid 20’s and not a teenager which is how she was acting.
The plot twist was interesting and not expected so I’m interested to see where that goes in the next book.

Not as good as the first one:(

There was a LOT of sex, which I’m ok with. But there was too much and it was just filler. The story didn’t really take off until the last 2/3 of the book 📕

Good!

Loved the storyline. Could have done without some of the repetitive sex scenes, not that I’m opposed to spice. The twist at the end was kind of a bummer, but it leaves a nice bit of room for the story to continue.

The main lead female determination and focus to accomplish her ultimate goal.

I dislike the numerous explicit sex dramas. I did the entire male military acknowledged and eventually accepted the lead female as part of their regiment.
