Broken Warrior (The Weavers Circle Book 1)

Product Information

After having only read Drake's " Ice and Snow Christmas" books, I was happily surprised to see what she could do with a non-contemporary story line and wasn't at all disappointed.

More pieces of the puzzle slotted into place in this story, as we work our way towards having all six Weavers, and their Soulmates, assembled for what's almost guaranteed to be a gigantic showdown with the worst of the worst Big Bads yet to come.

A promising start to a new series by Jocelynn Drake and Rinda Elliott, though the romance elements felt rushed and I think the world-building needed more work. Warnings = For some, the Insta-love might be a problem. It didn't feel completely "organic" to me even with taking into consideration fated mates. There didn't seem to be a lot of attraction or chemistry before they were suddenly making declarations.

This case of mistaken identity forces the cute artist to stay at the plantation house for his own protection while they search for a way to take down a witch. The Weavers Circle really is a fabulous series, it's an interesting take on elemental magic blended with the otherworldly villains. We meet 2 of the five brothers and get to know and adore them. I love Baer and can't wait to get his story. Grey is an introvert who is a hard character to get to know because he seems to keep a lot to himself. I can't wait to get in his head (get it? those of you who have read the book will, lol). The inevitability of their pairing was a bit predictable, as the one new Weaver needed a Soulmate to increase their chances of closing the rift, so even though Harrison initially saw Hale as too young and unserious, the previously-straight Keeper eventually had his bi-awakening and fell head over jealous, possessive heels for Hale. As expected. 🙂 As this was a romance, of course Baer and Wiley finally, finally, *FINALLY* realized that they were Soulmates -- but only after a bit of outside confirmation , which made me an itty bit crazy.

And it was super sweet that they fell for each other even though they thought there was someone else out there for Hale. I really love them, It was a very good book, with a new weaver joining the circle and a WTF revelation at the end of the book that made me scream. Harrison tries to resist because he thinks that Hale finding his soulmate is more important, when Hale is just more of the opinion that they have days left before they'll probably die, so why not just enjoy each other while they can? Baer is the animal weavers, he's impulsive and wild. After meeting Wiley for the first time, Baer spills the truth about him and his brothers. Wiley is a nerd, super-heroes, comics book , fantasy , that's his reality in his mind, so meeting a real superheros, with the ability to shift into any animals, it's like a dream comes true for Wiley.
