Broken Dove by Kristen Ashley

Broken Dove (Fantasyland, #4)

by Kristen Ashley

Far too young, Apollo Ulfr lost Ilsa, his wife, the love of his life and the mother of his two children. The grief of her loss does not settle in his soul, it solders to it. But when he discovers there is a parallel universe where his wife may have a twin, he feels there's hope and sets about bringing her to his world so he can have her back.

But Ilsa Ulfr of our world is married to the parallel universe's twin, Pol, who is not a good man. Not in any way. She's on the run from him and the last thing she wants is to be transported to a fantastical world and be forced to take his side as his wife, even if he is not Pol. And Apollo finds the broken Ilsa nothing like his beloved, and further, wants nothing to do with her.

But darkness is looming and evil is amassing. Apollo must protect his land and keep his family safe, including the new Ilsa.

This is what happens when KA has no restrictions and I have to say that I love it. Was it Golden Dynasty? No but there were a lot of parts- especially the epilogue- that made me swoon and/or tear up. Was it long winded, heavily detailed and slower in some parts that others? Yes...AND I'M TOTALLY OK WITH THAT. I love this world she has created, I love the details, the families and friends. I love it all. At times while reading this, I thought that this side of KA may be more incredible than the mountain man/hot bunch guys. This is a lonnnngggg book but I thoroughly enjoyed spending time in this world, with these characters and I totally need to do a re read of Finnie and Cora's books. I fell in love with Derrik and Achilles. They both need books....long ones. And yes, I'm ready for Noc's book too!
