Review for Betrayals of Spring by L.P. Dover

The smell of rain vastly approaches as we are lying on the ground in a sea of flowers. They surround our bodies while the fresh Spring wind caresses our skin with its soft, gentle touch. Combined as one, we stare into each other’s eyes as we bask in the pleasure of our love and OUR land.

The Land of the Fae has flourished bringing a new beginning and a new court, the Fall Court. Five years have passed since then along with the dreaded day that Meliantha, Summer Court Princess and one of the powerful Four, was betrayed and broken-hearted by the sexy and alluring Winter Prince, Kalen. Spurned by the man she loves, Meliantha has turned and fallen into the arms of the fierce and handsome warrior, Finn, who understands she can never love him, but wants more than anything to mend her broken heart.
The Winter Solstice Ball is approaching, meaning Meliantha will have to face the Winter Prince and make it out of there with her heart intact. But what does she do when Prince Kalen acts as if nothing ever happened and seems more in love with her than ever before?

The dark sorcerer has planned his twisted game of lies and deceit well, and has enjoyed making himself a player without anyone’s knowledge. The game is almost over and the players are exactly where they are needed to be. Will Meliantha figure out his twisted game and save all the players? Or will the dark sorcerer once again obtain the power of the Four and take everything away from her…..even her one true love?

My Take:
4 Stars

Would I recommend to others:  yes
Appropriate for 14 and under:  no, 18+ in my opinion
Language and sexual content:  high on both

I really enjoyed this book, just not quite as much as the first one.  There's something about Ryder and Calista that was more dear to my heart.

I enjoyed some of the twists and turns in this book, but some of it was more predictable now that I know what to expect from the dark sorcerer.

I enjoyed Kalen the most.  I loved his vulnerabiltiy and his charm and sarcasm.  I really hated what was being dished out to him and the princess throughout the story though.  Just when you think thinks are going to calm down and work for them, something happens.  I did enjoy the tasks that the sorcerer set up for the princess to accomplish, but it was sad what she had to go through.

All in all, this was a quick enjoyable read and I'm moving onto the Sorcha and Drake's story next.
