I have to admit that I normally stay away from books like this but I have enjoyed Gun's books in the past so I picked this one up and was not disappointed.
The premise of this book is why descendants of Dennamore have the "Yearning" to return. They have this yearning even if they have never been to this town before. I enjoyed how the author continued to build upon this mystery of why Darian is drawn to Dennamore and how she and Samantha must unravel the mystery surrounding this town with a few others from the town. There are some twist and turns that kept me reading and by the time I got to the end I was wondering when the next book in this series would be released. I think that makes Yearning a successful read for me. I am happily waiting for book two.
4.25 stars.

FRecently, I have been trying to read some romances that fall outside of my normal comfort zones and Renegade's War for sure fall into that category. For me it had suspense, action and romance (but more of the first two mentioned). It was for sure an entertaining read. And I admit that I would like to read more from this author.
Aurelia runs a group called the Tallawens. She was abducted as a toddler and has grown up in the oppressive country of the Slawes. Their main purpose is to help people leave the country of the Slawes for the free country of Sandslot. After a recent run from freedom, Aurelia and others in her group comes across a unconscious woman who will later remember her name as Blue. Of course Aurelia and her crew are skeptical because the Leaders of the Slawes are always looking to infiltrate the Tallawens. And so the story goes.
Even though this romance falls into a category that I don't often read, I liked that it was not overly done on the Sci-fi side of things. As I read Renegade's War, I found it easy to understand what was going on. I think it did help that a reference to when this was happening which put things into perspective. Though alot of this romance focused on action and suspense, it had just the right amount of romance for this type of book. The two mains had chemistry and just had a good fit. There wasn't much sex in this one, but honestly I think the scene it did have was well written and done tastefully for this type of romance.
After I finished this one, I found some things surprised me and other things didn't. It was a great mix. If I had to change anything I might change the ending just slightly. After everything that happened, I think I wanted just a tad bit more.
4 stars.
