As a big fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon and this series I was
excited to read this story. This book is an intriguing and
intense read. BORN OF FURY by Sherrilyn Kenyon gives us the
story of Hauk and Sumi. Hauk has been a fixture in this
series and it was nice to finally get to read his story. I
loved seeing the warmth and emotions that he keeps inside
and away from others. Sumi brings out the love and shows us
just how wonderful Hauk truly is underneath his gruff
exterior. Sumi is a great woman who loves with all her heart
and is more than ready to fight with and for Hauk. Watching
the two connect and their romance build made for a wonderful
read.
There is a lot of banter in this book after all it is almost
seven hundred pages long and action can only happen so much,
although there is just as much action as talking. I enjoyed
seeing the characters grow and change. Sumi may start out
wanting to bring Hauk and others down but she soon finds
that there is more to what meets the eye, especially when it
comes to Hauk. It was nice to see Hauk find his heart and
reach for his happy ever after. Love is stronger than hate
and Sumi as well as Hauk learn this first hand. As their
story unfolds the two must learn to trust one another and
their emotions. We learn a lot about Hauk in this book.
Finding out why he is the way he is and why he does what he
does.
I was pulled in to this story right from the start. Although
I would have liked a bit more tension or work put into some
of the many problems that they encountered along the way.
Making some parts more engaging than others yet I never
really lost interest in Hauk and Sumi's story. Sherrilyn
Kenyon
does a wonderful job of combining action and romance to
build a great story that kept this readers attention all the
way through to the end.
Counted among the fiercest Andarion warriors ever born, Hauk is one of the five founding members of the Sentella: an organization that has declared war on the League. They rule the Ichidian universe with an iron fist and terrify it with an army of well-trained assassins. Hauk's enemies are legion, but he fears nothing and no one. He will do whatever it takes to survive and protect his Sentella brethren.
Sumi Antaxas is one of the best assassins the League has ever trained. In her world, failure is not an option and she has never met a target she couldn't execute. So when she's assigned Hauk, she believes it'll be a quick and easy mission.
But nothing is ever as simple as it seems, and Hauk is far better skilled than any she's faced before, in the New York Times bestseller Born of Fury from Sherrilyn Kenyon.
I checked this book out from my local library on a whim. I couldn't put it down once I started it. I was completely captivated from cover to cover! (Kevin Cowles 12:43pm October 5, 2014)
