Release Blitz: Edge of Steel by Elizabeth Dear

 Edge of Steel by Elizabeth Dear is now live!




My mates rejected me, and now they’ve come crawling back. It’s too little, too late....

When the men I’d been falling for spurned me and then left me in the woods to die, I vowed to cut them out of my life for good.

But the Moon had other plans for me.

It turns out Heath, Aiden, Elijah, and Wyatt are my Fated. A rare blessing of perfect mates from our celestial deity.

One I absolutely do not want.

But now I’m stuck with them at Guardian training camp, where I'll continue my quest to earn a permanent place among our kind’s elite military force. Within their ranks, I’ll finally have safety for myself and my beast.

I don’t need bonds, and I definitely don’t need my Fated, who only want me now because the Moon told them they’re supposed to.

But these four powerful shifters aren’t giving up so easily. They’ve come to camp ready to claim what they think is theirs.

They’ll find my claws are out and my swords are sharp.

Game on, boys.

This is a paranormal romance set at a supernatural summer camp in present-day USA and should be read after Clash of Claws. It is a “why choose” romance, which means our heroine will have multiple love interests and will get her Happily Ever After with ALL of them by the end of the series. This is book 2 of a trilogy, and it will end in a mild cliffhanger. It is intended for readers aged 18+ and contains foul language and spicy scenes. Detailed content warnings can be found in the Author’s Note. Happy reading!

Edge of Steel is book 2 in this incredible shifter series by Elizabeth Dear and one definitely not to be missed.

Book 1, must be read before reading this book to understand what is going on and why four powerful prime shifters are grovelling and practically begging for forgiveness. 

Avery continues to be an incredible heroine who stands her ground and knows her worth. I love her character! She is fierce, just as much as her beast, and even though she has four Fated mates desperate for her affection, it’s hard to forget what they did to her. 

Heath, Aiden, Elijah and Wyatt are all desperate to be with Avery after discovering they are Fated. They have the summer to earn her trust and love back and will stop at nothing to get it. They also find themselves protecting her from other quads who are also vying for her attention and the possibility to bond with her. We learn even more about each member of the quad, especially the mysterious Elijah and his basilisk. I love how affectionate he is but also how he’s such a fierce protector. 

I love the side story of investigating the death of Avery’s mother as well as Elijah’s family. This was the perfect addition to the book and I love how it tied into something greater. 

Even though this ended on a cliffhanger, it wasn’t as massive of one as the first book. It definitely leaves you begging to find out what happens next and I, for one, will wait in great anticipation for the third book!

Meet Elizabeth Dear

Elizabeth is a corporate girl who recently discovered she's also a dreamer and storyteller. She's a military spouse, a mom, and a lover of genre fiction, especially romance and urban fantasy. Academy romances were her first love. When not writing or spending time with her family, her favorite pastime is going on a journey with a powerful heroine, her sexy, obsessed love interest(s), and a cast of characters she'll still think about days later.

While always a romance writer, Elizabeth tends to jump around the subgenres and romantic pairings. Her specialty is strong and uber-competent female leads with a backbone and a smart mouth. Elizabeth also discovered that readers love that her heroines tend to have supportive, loving families--particularly strong sibling relationships--so she tries to incorporate that into each of her series. She loves to write action, suspense, banter and steam.

Blurb:

Skully Morgan. That is my name and all that I know. 

In the darkness, my mind searched for solace.

I had no memories. No recollection of what happened that night on the cliff. When I woke, it was to hostility in the form of a man, claiming he once owned my heart. Madden is as cold and hard as his steel gray gaze. He told me he hated me. Then banished me from my home. 


What he didn’t know was the relief that followed. A phantom lightness I couldn’t explain. So I left willingly. I went with my aunt and turned my back on a past that didn’t feel like mine. 


Two years later, secrets unravel, and I discover the life I built is not what it seems. I’m dragged back to the town that cast me out, to the family that claims me only when it suits them… and to Madden—the man who now promises to destroy me for daring to return.

He says the magic I wield is dangerous.

He says I’m trouble.

What he doesn’t understand is that I don’t belong to anyone anymore. And the power flowing through my veins is strong enough to fight back.

This book was incredible!

Written in Flesh is the first book I’ve read by Ashton Brooks and now I can’t wait to read the next book!

This second chance, enemies to lovers romance was brilliant from start to finish.

Skully Morgan wakes up in the hospital with no recollection of what happened in the last nine months. She only knows that her ex, and soon to be step-brother Madden, is sitting by her bedside ordering her to leave and not to return. She has no clue what she did to deserve his ire.

I loved how interwoven magic, angels, and demons are throughout this book. The book was so mysterious and definitely kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire thing.

I loved the secondary character, Azriel, who Skully thinks is just another ordinary guy she strikes up a friendship with randomly. What she doesn’t realise is, Azriel is actually an angel of death and she shouldn’t be able to see him. He’s loyal to Skully and such a much needed light to this story. 

Skully’s character is amazing and she is determined to remember what she’s forgotten despite what her jerk of an ex says. The journey that Skully goes on to rediscover her past is so well written and I really enjoyed reading about the secondary characters, her friends from River Falls. 

Fair warning, this book ends on one hell of a cliffhanger! I seriously need the second book, like now, to find out what happens next!

Blurb:

I don’t let anyone in… I can’t afford to. But he’s the first person who makes me want to try.


My new roommate, Caleb, breezes into my life like unexpected sunshine lighting up the darkness. My secrets and sharp edges are built to keep people out.


But when he wraps his warm body around mine—needy and trusting—something in me cracks open and unfurls.


And the deeper Caleb sinks into my chest, the more I know I should push him away before he sees too much.


Before it’s too late. Because in the end, I know the truth will break us both.

Opposites attract 
Roommates 
One is exceptionally tidy 
The other is quite the opposite! 

When Caleb fell ill and became quite clingy, his relationship with Whit transformed from awkward roommates to something more tender. Even Caleb’s family mistakenly assumed they were a couple, and playing along with that idea only brought them closer together. 

Their growing affection—both in public and in private—felt entirely genuine and heartwarming. Through Caleb and his welcoming family, Whit gradually became a more open and warm person, which stood in stark contrast to his own upbringing. 
What a fantastic conclusion to an incredible series!
