Ensaadi by Elisabeth Wheatley has a gorgeous cover and I love it. The colors make it pop and Talitha holding that wicked looking machete only makes me wonder who or what she will be using it on.
MY REVIEW
Elisabeth Wheatley never ceases to amaze me with her creative storytelling. I loved her Fanged series, and am eager to see what Ensaadi has to offer. A dash of Dunes, a pinch of Stars Wars…Voila, we have the Warlords of Sandsea romance adventure series.
Esreth is, well, a bit promiscuous. This time she has crossed a line and Talitha has to find a solution to the problem. Whoa…
Right or wrong, the decision is made and the action begins.
Talitha is ensaadi, their leader, and now she will show them why she deserves the title. She is strong, smart and knows to keep her eyes on her enemies, even when they are standing right beside her.
I was wondering what would happen next, but this wasn’t what I saw coming.
The chase, the fight, brutal and wicked. Love and war. The critters and world building. The more I read, the more I like.
The Dunedrifters…I knew, well, I thought, well, I…
Romance is in the air and ya can’t stop the heart from wanting who it wants.
An uneasy alliance, a warrior born to rule.
I love this suspenseful novella that has characters to die for and a world that stretches the imagination. I can hardly wait to get my hands on the next story, Dunedrifter.
4 Stars
GOODREADS BLURB
In the endless dunes of the Sandsea, strength is the only virtue and weakness is the only sin.
Ensaadi Talitha of Ilios is the warlord’s heir who dreams of peace. Finally, she has the chance to broker a marriage between two feuding tribes, but her efforts are shattered when her besotted cousin claims the bridegroom.
The treachery forces Talitha and her warriors to flee back to Ilios. Only through an uneasy alliance with a band of mercenary Dunedrifters and their enigmatic leader can her people hope to make it home.
With the lives of her warriors and the safety of her city at stake, Talitha will be forced to make the hardest decisions of her life. As an ensaadi, no matter what Talitha may want, a heart is a luxury and a conscience is a curse.
Ensaadi is a 30,000 word novella and first in the all-new Warlords of the Sandsea romance adventure series.
ABOUT ELISABETH WHEATLEY
Elisabeth Wheatley began what would be her first novel at eleven and hasn’t stopped writing since. When she’s not daydreaming of elves, vampires, and/or hot guys in armor, she can be found wasting time on the internet, fangirling over her latest obsession, and pretending to be a functional citizen.
