—RT Book ReviewsThe Forbidden HeirThis story was packed with action, political intrigue, scheming, and high stakes. Alyssa - Goodreads reviewerThis is a marvellous book. The world building is unique and complex. The characters are well developed and likable and there is intrigue for days. If you've read the first book in the series it only gets better in this one. Lissa - Goodreads reviewer'Forbidden Heir' is a great rarity: a sequel that I liked better than the original book. Margaret - Amazon reviewerThe Unbound QueenThis was an incredible 3rd and final book in The Four Arts Series which did a wonderful job of tying up the loose ends and seeing great characters finish a wonderful adventure. Amazon reviewerCameron is delectable, Sophie is the right mix of practical, insanely talented and wary of the power broking that is going on around her. It was brilliant to watch her come into her power.
