A woman determined to discover her past…
Adelyn, daughter of Lila and Latimus, has never felt quite whole. Although she loves her parents immensely, the origin of her lavender irises always remained a mystery. When she overhears rumors of a secret species of immortal who share the rare trait, she’s compelled to journey into treacherous territory to find them.
A man destined to protect her…
Leo, son of Kilani and Alrec, prefers solitude rather than the misery and exclusion he experienced in the immortal realm. When a gorgeous Slayer shows up at his remote cabin, he yearns to protect her, even if the stubborn woman drives him mad.
A perilous journey…
Incensed by the grumpy Vampyre, Adelyn vows to leave him behind. But the obstinate man insists on protecting her, and each day they forge ahead, she wonders if her heart might need the most protection of all…
Grumpy-sunshine romance lovers—this one’s for you! For everyone who enjoyed The Dawn of Peace, Kilani and Alrec are back as their son experiences his own love story! Enjoy your time in Etherya's Earth.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2023Adelyn begins a journey to find her heritage. As she begins the journey, she is caught in a storm. She finds a cabin and goes in to get out of the storm. Leo comes in to his cabin and they get into a disagreement. They finally decide to wait out the storm in his cabin. She tells him about her quest to find the Nymphs who she believes she is one. Leo insists on going with her on this dangerous journey and they open up about their past histories. Leo and Adelyn finally find the Nymphs and she learns about her birth parents and some of the Nymph history. Leo and Addie fall in love and she tries to convince him to return with her to the immortal realm. He initially refuses but then does show up to bond with her. Addie becomes the Nymph Ambassador in the immortal realm and begins to educate everyone on Nymph history. Can't wait for the next book!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2024Always intriguing with twists, romance, and great story lines! Author is creative, a joy to read, with lots of suspense.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2024Great book. Never disappoints. But what’s up with all the men always having hairy chests? Always a pleasure reading one of these books from this author. Highly recommend time and time again. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2023I loved this read. Little Leo is all grown up and is a sexy and grumpy man now! This was a great grumpy/sunshine trope storyline.
Adelyn is an aristocrat who decides she needs to take a journey to see if she can uncover information about her birth parents, one of whom may be descended from an ancient group of people. Determined to take the journey alone, she gets caught in a story and needs shelter. She ends up on Leo's doorstep.
Leo is a grumpy vampyre who lives alone by choice. His only companionship comes in the form of visits with his parents. Even though Adelyn is a bit too aristocratic and chatty for his liking, he can't leave her unsheltered in the storm.
The more time that Adelyn and Leo spend together, the more their attraction grows. Leo becomes protective and accompanies Adelyn on her journey and things spiral despite their best efforts to fight it. Despite their differences, they balance each other. Each brings out the best in the other, and it is so fun to see their relationship evolve.
This can be read as a stand-alone, but other books give some insight into other couples/characters that are sprinkled throughout the book. The banter was top-notch, and the spice was 🤌!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2024I loved this grumpy love story!! There was something a smidge different about this one that I enjoyed so much! I love that it wasn't insta-love and that they were insta-together. I enjoyed that he had to fight with himself first then for her. It was refreshing! Her boldness to stand firm and find her birth family was empowering and sweet! What I didn't like is the whole Mine thing and the F bombs. While I enjoy the author's writing style, some things threw me for a loop. Referring to anatomy as s*x "he placed it on her s*x"...why? Or her deepest place or why are eyes called irises? Those are just little peeves for me. Not enough to knock off a star but enough to cringe a little sometimes.
*I received a complimentary copy of the audiobook from the author via Story Origin.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2024The Solitary Protector gives us Adelyn and Leo's story and I think it is my favorite story of the "kids" thus far. Adelyn is on a mission to find her birth parents and her journey leads her and Leo to cross paths. Leo is perfectly fine living his solitary life but when he meets Adelyn his desire is to protect her. The more time they spend together the more their feelings develop and the more I love both of them. Leo is flourishing in his life with Adelyn and their ending was sweet in more than one way. I loved that we get to see the family with their little one in the end. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024This has been such a great series that I am sad to see it come to an end. Adelyn and Leo are as opposite as you can get, but watching their love story develop is truly entertaining and I am going to miss them and the others in this series.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024I enjoyed Leo and Addie’s story. Leo is a gruff and grumpy guy with a big heart and the banter between him and Addie had me chuckling. There is a sweet HEA and with the ending you know there will be more books to come. I listened to the audiobook and found it to be well done.
