So what’s Ronan about?

So, what did I like about Ronan?
Teresa Gabelman is one of my favourite authors. Her writing style makes her books un-put-downable. The plots are gripping and the pace is fast without feeling rushed. I love the way she writes her characters. Their personalities have all the traits that I love – or love to hate.
Ronan exceeded my expectations!
The spark of romance between Kira and Ronan could be seen in the previous book. However, the relationship and sexual anticipation built at a nice pace within these pages. I must be honest and confess that when we met Kira Grail in Invisible Warrior (The Protectors #11), I didn’t like her. I thought she was very abrasive and narrow-minded. However, Kira has turned into another first-class female lead to join the ranks with the other amazing women in this series. I admire her gumption, she always puts herself in the line of fire rather than endanger others. Although she may not have combat skills, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t know how to fight!
And while we are talking about other characters in this book, what would we do without Steve. He continues to be the comic relief and he had me laughing my arse off numerous times throughout this book. My favourite VC Warrior, Jill, stole quite a few scenes and is still as fabulous as ever! In fact, I loved the way that a lot of the other couples relationships developed in this book, seasoned VC warriors having to come to terms that their alpha behaviour needs to be modified. 😉
Ronan has an engaging story-line that kept me hooked.
This story kept me guessing; there are some new story-lines, revelations about some ongoing mysteries. Plus, a few shocking twists within this book that I didn’t see coming – I was overjoyed at being taken by surprise! I loved that Ronan had me shedding tears and got my blood boiling with anger and frustration. It also had me laughing my socks off, sent tingles of titillation to all the right spots *blush* and warmed my old romantic heart.
I love the VC Warriors, they all hold a special place in my heart.
However, I was convinced that their usual kickass battle strategy was going to fail miserably reading this book. I had my fingers crossed, hoping that Ms Gabelman didn’t kill any of them off to prove a point. The paranormal world that she has created for them is changing and growing. Expanding to include more supernatural beings such as witches, warlocks and shapeshifters. Where magic is involved, the Warriors have to evolve and change their tactics to succeed. I’m looking forward to reading how the series evolves along with our swoon-worthy vampire Warriors.
Was there anything I disliked about it?
I loved this book as you can tell by the 5 stars.
Ms Gabelman weaves the main points about the continuing story threads into this one. However, I don’t think that Ronan can be read as a standalone story. You need to have read the previous books first. Too much has happened and there are now lots of characters to get your head around.
Basically, what I’m saying is…
Boy, did I love this book; I couldn’t put it down!
Ronan‘s got everything that I look for in a 5-star story; action, romance, an exciting plot, humour (like most Brits, I really love good banter) and well-written, erotic sex scenes.
Content Warning:
This book has graphic violence and explicit sex as well as some darker themes. Therefore, I’d only recommend this book to adults who are OK reading material of this nature.
I’d recommend Ronan to adults who are fans of relationship and romance tales. Especially if you love enigmatic cowboys, gritty story-lines with heaps of passion.
