I received an ARC of this book from the author and I voluntarily reviewed it. Thank you Setta Jay!

What an original story by Setta Jay. I have been following the author for some time now, and she always proves to me, time and time again, that she can take a trope and twist it into something original and refreshing. I loved the mix of tropes in this book; royalty, arranges marriage, mercenaries, the worlds elite. Jay managed to make all these come together in a harmonious way in this story, when it could have easily been a terrible mish mash. 

I can’t review this book without commenting on the sensual scenes. They were’t the most beautiful explicit scenes I had ever read, but my my, were the smooth and sensual when you read them. They will make you hot under the collar alright. Wowy! Where’s my Viktor? 

I really enjoyed how this book sets up a series. How it gives us hints at other romances. If there’s something I learned with the Guardians series, is that with each book, the world solidifies, and the books get better. I cannot wait for the rest of this series!

Destined to Carve - Setta Jay

I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Setta Jay!

Even after so many Guardians novels, I am completely enamoured with this world; I cannot get enough if it, or the characters.

This book is the first in the "second generation" series. From reading my previous reviews, y'all know I love Hades, and Pothos because of their black wings. Well, lets add Rykr to that list, because holy smoked he's hot - and has wings, hehe.

I love how Jay set up a completely new and intriguing threat for the Guardians. It could've easily felt like a repeat of the previous series, but to me, it really doesn't. In true Jay fashion, the ending leaves you with unanswered questions which lead you to desperately want the sequel.

Even though this book is about the second generation, the original characters whom we've come to love are still present and involved in the story. There are so many characters now, but I'm not complaining. They're all fabulous *wink*

All in all, another great read by Setta Jay! She has truly become a staple in my kindle *grins*

Eternal Ecstasy - Setta Jay

I received an ARC of this book from the author via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Setta Jay!

What a great finale to the The Guardians of the Realms series. Serena's story was exciting as she was feisty with a very possessive God. I've always loved Serena and I am so happy she found a suitable mate. I really enjoyed when they both didn't want anything to do with each other. It made me giggle when they were trying to stop something that couldn't be. 

Setta! Those last chapters were so intense! The suspense and the anxiety were well worth it with that ending though - you know those black wings get to me! (Wow I just used three exclamation points in three sentences; no shame). 

I am sad that this series is over, but it was extremely entertaining. Thank you for the summary of the past books at the beginning. Really appreciated!

Storm of ecstasy - setta Jay

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you NetGalley!

Entertaining as always. I really like this series; much more than I thought I ever would. It's sexy, original, mystical, every book is similar yet completely different.

One thing that is getting hard to keep track of is the amount of characters. Like, holly canoli Setta, how do you even write these books. Ouf, my brain is hurting just thinking about it.

As always, I admire how straight to the point Setta Jay's books are; how there is no frilly stuff and filler - I mean there is some ;) Ya know.

I liked how we explored a new world a little in this book, but the end was a tinsy winsy predictable. Other than that, great plot, and I cannot believe that was book NINE! What???

Anyways, I thought Hades was my favourite, but man, Pothos has the wings that made me fall for Hades, he's got tats, and he's drool worthy sexy. Can I be his thea? Pretty please?

divine ecsasy - setta jay

​That feeling when you turn the last page not expecting it to be that last page followed by the feeling of hanging off a cliff. I WANT MORE. *crying face*

Hades is my favourite male mate yet, thus far in the series for four reasons:

1. He's fricking Hades
2. He is a God
3. He's sexy as Hell (see what I did there)
4. HE HAS WINGS

This book had me all wound up and wanting more. Always more. Did I just experience a frenzy? I think I did. Ahh Setta Jay, what you do to me. These pages were filled with sexiness. Divine Ecstasy was well written, exciting (pun intended), captivating and enthralling. Setta Jay knows how to put a story together and keep the reader hooked until the very last word, and then some.

I absolutely love Sasha and Hades together. They are a beautiful match. Hades is absolutely amazing. He is caring, compassionate, protective, strong, and can I say sexy again? Why can't actual people have actual wings *insert yet another sad face*

And finally, that ending. I felt a pang in my heart when I turned the page on my Kindle and it was the last one. I actually kept turning pages to make sure it was really the end of the book. Wonderfully done Setta Jay

Ecstasy unbound - setta jay

I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my review. Thank you NetGalley!

This book was so damn sexy, it even made me squirm. 

At First, I was overwhelmed with the amount of characters... It was a little hard to keep track of them all. Even as the book went on, I kept getting confused between characters and having to refer back a few pages-I only got the hang of this in the second book.

However, I really love the world(s) Setta Jay has created. The use of Greek terminology is great -and I understand it since I'm Greek- and interesting. I can also say that the books get better as they go! You learn a lot more about the Guardians and the plots get more exciting as they go forth; not to mention addictive! 

Happy Reading!

P.S.: I'm on book 5 :)
