Undeniable Lover (Warriors of Lemuria Book 4) Kindle Edition

I loved everything about this book. It’s my one of my favorite series

We are immediately thrust into the action in this standalone novel! Saar is sparing with his king, Noeh. A king he loves, a king he has vowed to protect.

Saar is the definition of a militia man. Loyal to a fault, devoted, honorable. Am I swooning? Yes.

Within the first few pages we learn that Saar is Noeh's best warrior. He is the Commander in Arms. We also learn that Saar and Noeh have a very unique relationship. King and servant, yet there is a respect of brothers.

We are also introduced to Kaelyn. Well, Saar and Kaelyn haven't met each other officially yet, but on the battle field, Saar couldn't get himself to kill her. She was too...delectable. ;) Basically, he had a moment of weakness and he can NOT afford any types of weakness when his king is involved.

Rosalie Redd has officially introduced our first conflict. Obligation versus desire. Oooo this woman knows how I like it!

----
"Saar’s mind drifted to the beautiful female. Nothing good could come from seeing her again. She was the enemy. By all rights, he should kill her. He ground his teeth. I pray I don’t find her. Yet, a part of him deep inside wanted nothing more."
----

Oh but he finds her.

Kaelyn has to be my favorite bear shape shifting female, like, ever. 🐻 Kaelyn, like Saar, is loyal and unfortunately she is being forced to fight for a side she doesn't want to fight on.

If only war was accommodating for love, eh? Oh but it can be, especially for these two.

Saar and Kaelyn find each other under the most inconvenient circumstances. Rosalie Redd is giving us enemies to lovers unlike anything I've read before.

----
"The memory of him asking her to unbraid her hair in the Keep’s cell resurfaced full force. The reason then…to release her from her physical cell. The reason now…to release her from her mental one. They’d come a long way since then, and without a doubt, she’d fallen for him."
----

I've fallen for him too!

We follow both Kaelyn and Saar as they are faced with unbearable decisions that are meant to tear them apart. But what about that loyalty Saar has for his king? You know, the king he would die for?

----
“How could I ever trust that you wouldn’t betray me?” Kaelyn’s words tracked through his mind, followed by his father’s. “Does your loyalty lie with the future king or yourself?”
----

Ouch.

Betrayal, doubt, fears. Undeniably saucy! I'm not sure how Saar is going to get out of this abyss he's dug for himself, but he'd better do it fast before he loses Kaelyn forever.

Undeniable Lover is immaculate and descriptive. I was sent to another time, another realm where love exists alongside war, and hatred quickly evolves into a burning desire.

★★★★ ½ stars for Saar and Kaelyn.

I wasn't expecting such a unique enemies to lovers story that was so tempting, sexy, sizzling, with AMAZING action! I was completely taken with Undeniable Lover! I have read many enemies to Lovers romances but nothing prepared me for THIS particular one. Saar surprised me in THE BEST way. Once he decided to claim Kaelyn, he went from despising her to needing to protect and care for her. And Kaelyn was no slouch either. Tough, sassy, smart and feisty, she felt like the ULTIMATE match for Saar.

The passion and romance was So....SOOOO GOOD! I could feel the delicious tension throughout the story and it was so compelling. What started out as a hate turned into smoldering, sweet, and super sexy romance that was empowering and downright AMAZING! I freaking ADORED this story!

Undeniable Lover gets an UNDENIABLY GOOD FIVE SHOOTING STARS! Breathtaking, unique, and a real eye opener...I could read this again RIGHT now!

I'm a sucker for scifi-fantasy blends and this definitely qualifies! I really enjoyed reading this book. I think the male and female lead worked well together. Yes, they were soulmates but their relationship didn't lack foundation completely. They're both warriors, skilled on the battlefield and they respect one another as such. Neither is superficial which makes them well matched, too.

I do think some parts of the plot were just a little too convenient but it didn't make me dislike the story. I still dived into the plot and was rooting for the leads, so, I can't complain. Additionally, the author knows how to right one heck of a cliffhanger (more like an opening for the next book actually)!

What I didn't like is how the author used the same descriptions over and over again. I found that this happened a lot, though not exclusively, when it came to "spicier" scenes. I understand the basic mechanics are the same every time but use different vocabulary. There's more than one way to skin a cat, as the saying goes.

Lastly, the author explained way too much. She explained to the point I felt like she didn't trust me or maybe her skills as a writer. You've set up the characters, the scene, their body language, dialogue, etc. Trust that I'll be able to pick up on their feelings and the scene without you having to be redundant or go into an unnecessary amount of detail.

All in all, still a good read. I'd pick up the next book for sure.

Undeniable Lover
Caught in a war game between two opposing forces, Saar and Kaelyn are supposed to be enemies. After her capture, Kaelyn returns to the Keep as Saar's prisoner. When he is ordered by his king to kill her, he is unable to do so and lets her go. After following her back to her Tribe, Saar is captured only to be rescued by Kaelyn, but it has great consequences to her. They then are on the run as traitors from both sides. Thankfully, as some last minute negotiations between the war gods, Kaelyn is traded sides and is now able to not only rescue Saar from his inner beast, but return to the Keep as a new ally. This book ends in a cliffhanger with the loss of the beloved baby prince. You can't help but wonder what happens next and who will ultimately win the war for water. This is book 4, but the first that I've read in the series. Although, there is obviously lots of back stories here, that if I had understood would have made the story even better, I felt that it was easy enough to pick up. All characters are interesting and I wanted to learn more about them. I rate this book 5 hearts.
