5.0 out of 5 starsA brilliant introduction to a world with gargoyles and demons
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2022
Bitter Sweet Love is an enticing introduction to the Dark Elements world. This short prequel focuses on Dez and Jasmine, which we will see again as secondary characters of the three books that follow.
After being gone for three years, Dez is back to claim the love of his life or, as it's a tradition in the warden community, to be mated. They grew up together and had feelings for each other, and just as Jasmine's dad announced that they would mate, he disappeared. And she hasn't been able to get over it, much less to forgive him for breaking her heart. She has seven days to give him a final answer but, before doing so, she demands him to meet some conditions.
It's swoony the way Dez will give everything to make Jas happy. He is very much protective of her, as every warden is of the women. And he is hot and charming, and so very alpha with a huge heart. Jasmine is fierce yet centered, and will quickly discover that love doesn't fade nor goes away. They are so amazing together, that I found myself devouring their story.
Who would have thought that I would be swooning over gargoyles and demons? The world Jennifer L. Armentrout created is addictive and captivating. I can't recommend this series enough.
