The Reluctant Savior (Etherya's Earth Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Rebecca Hefner (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 out of 5 stars 72 ratings

From USA Today bestselling author Rebecca Hefner

A complex heroine who doesn't believe in love must choose to save the realm...

Evie, daughter of virtuous Princess Rina and malicious Deamon King Crimeous, is a woman torn in half. The first centuries of her life taught her fervent lessons about pain and suffering. For ages, she suppressed her mother's noble blood, crafting a reality where she was alone and drifting…until an ancient prophecy calls to her, possibly creating a purpose for her squalid existence.

Kenden has commanded the Slayer army for a thousand years. Strong, cunning and loyal, he longs for the day Crimeous is defeated and he can settle down to build a family. Focused on conquering the Dark Lord, he’s stunned when Evie makes a brazen demand that must be fulfilled before she chooses to fight with them.

Although incensed by Evie's ultimatum, Kenden has never desired a woman more than the flame-haired vixen. Though she stirs his ire, he also has a deep well of compassion for the beauty who suffered so much trauma centuries ago. Together they train, and by night their connection grows, building toward the moment when they will battle her father. But, in the end, Evie has a choice and struggles to espouse righteousness over malevolence. For, when one's worst fears are exposed, the evil is so much easier to embrace...

**If you love a slightly-evil, complex reformed antiheroine, this book is for you! The Etherya's Earth fantasy romance series is best read in order although each book does have its own featured hero/heroine and HEA.

        I have to admit that I was a little nervous about this book, I mean the first three were fantastic, sexy, and totally got me hooked on romance, but, could she do it again?

        The End of Hatred was chosen as my number one pick for 2019 on my blog and Rebecca was interviewed by me a few months earlier so to say that going into book four of the series the question entered my mind, could Rebecca do it again?

        Pop Review

        Action, adventure, romance, with a twinge of erotica, just when you feel its starting to get to sappy Rebecca goes and gets a techy warrior scenario scene going that would raise an eyebrow on Mr Spock and give an instant erection to any d&d geek alive then bringing out of them the sappy blood lust romance addict in any nerdiest of nerds launching them into full “nerdvana”.

        🤓 uh..., huh?

        This book excited me, I felt satisfaction during and after it ended, did I want more? You bet! The fact that there will be another installment of this series makes me weak in the knees, believe me that’s a good thing. The Reluctant Savior I feel is the second best book of this series, not taking anything away from the middle two but book four does it and Rebecca done it right. Evie proves to be as sexy and mysterious as she did in book one, her sexual appetite and blood lust go pretty much unchecked as she satisfies her desires and delivers you to the edge while laughing the whole way.

        Great job Rebecca, I know I said this four books ago,but I’m saying it again, I’m a fan!

        Reluctant Savior is the 4th volume in Hefner’s Etherya’s Earth series and as soon as I picked it up I was riveted. Like her other books, RS is an inspiring story of love and loss, with a strong female protagonist (although Evie would definitely say she was an antagonist ;), lots of steamy sex scenes, and a well-rounded plot. However, although I typically favor the first book in any series, RS may be my favorite of the Etherya’s Earth books. I love that Hefner included the story of other couples finding love as well, especially since they were characters that I couldn’t help to route for in her other books. Also I loved Evie and her struggle with having a dark side. I mean who hasn’t imagined choking someone with their mind?! (Just me?! Lol) Evie and Kenden’s relationship is fiery, deep, and passionate, and I love his undying and stubborn dedication to her. Lastly, I think my very favorite part of the book is that it hints at more to come!! I would definitely love to see a lot more from Hefner in this series and others. Thanks for an excellent read!! :)

        Evie and Kenden develop a relationship as he convinces her she has lots of good in her. Crimeous wants to take Ardains unborn baby and Evie convinces him to take her and she will help him defeat the vampyres and slayers. Evie gets into the final fight when Crimeous believes he is undefeatable. Evie then goes away to get her head together. Kenden goes to fond her and they get married after she finally accepts that she loves him. Unknown to any of the immortals, there is a secret daemon group that wants to avenge Crimeos death.

        4.0 out of 5 stars Loved the story even with the few complaints!
        Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2024
        The reading for this book was a little shaky at times but still good. The story was great but the descriptions got repetitive. Kendon's chocolate irises is one of them. How the narrator says baby when referring to Eevie isn't that genuine. Seemed forced. All of the self loathing kind of drags on but still good. I love the series and I loved the story. I like that Eevie was extremely hard yet easy at the same time. Not sure how to describe it.

        *I received a complimentary copy of the audiobook from the author via Story Origin.

        On to the next book!!

        Oh man, I can’t say enough amazing things about this fourth chapter of Etherya’s Earth series. The passion, the struggles and depth of characters is just beyond amazing. I loved every moment of this story. Everyone has an inner Evie inside them that has doubts about their self worth, there ability to care and love and the hope to find someone like Kendan to show you that your strong will and determination are beautiful inside and out. Loved the message this particular book sends. And oh my ... all the history that unfolded and the sub romances had me sweating! Love love love

        I just finished up the fourth book of the series and I loved it. I can't remember when I read a whole series in such a short time but it goes to show how quickly the books read and so easily. The story continues with a focus on two other characters that have been introduced in the series earlier. It's a refreshing way for a story line to develop that the main characters have changed for each book and yet the other characters are still very much a part of the storyline. I liked how the author ties the story so that as each character has been introduced through the series, they are intertwined into the overall story line. This book isn't just about love, but also good vs. evil. You always root for the good guys and when the good guy are strong women, even better. Looking forward to book 5!

        Oh my days, where do I even start? Such an emotional journey. I knew from the moment these two met in book one that sparks would fly and boy did they!! Evie and Kenden were electrifying together. The steam 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Excuse me whilst I fan myself! Who'd have thought our lovely Commander would be so fiery in bed 😂
        There were so many heartbreaking moments. I felt so deeply for Evie and her struggles to see the good in herself. Again, Rebecca tells such a beautiful story between two characters who were clearly made for each other.

        I absolutely loved seeing all my favourites. Miranda is forever up to her matchmaking tricks and cracking me up every single time. It was a joy as always. Looking forward to seeing where we go next because I also totally want to see our joker Heden meet his match! ♥️
