Could have been better-- yet still satisfying!!!!
This is the seventh book in Drake Sisters series. Seven sisters share extraordinary powers passed down through generations. With the older six sisters settled with their loved ones, its time for the youngest to unite with her soul mate. Elle Drake has always known she carries the Drake legacy and has to give birth to the next generation of Drake women. In her heart she knows it will be with handsome deputy of Sea Heaven Jackson Deveau. But Jackson has a dark past that he has always tried to protect Elle from- thinking of it as rejection Elle takes on a dangerous assignment to bring down a human trafficking ring. But she is kidnapped, harassed and abused. With the help of her sisters and their men Jackson rescues her and tries to mend her broken soul.
I have immensely enjoyed the Drake sisters series, especially since the last two books were so good. So,I had high hopes for this book but it was a bit disappointing. I believe what completely threw me off was the abuse that Elle was subjected to, it is what I have always come NOT to expect from Feehan books. Another disappointment for me was how little Elle got to use her powers; she has always been mentioned as the mysterious sister who possessed all the powers distributed among the rest of the sisters, so I expected to find more about Elle as a person. However, most of the book is about Jackson helping Elle recover from her tragic abuse, the two bonding, and accepting each other.
The story could have been a lot better but as always Miss Feehan’s unique prose filled with so much passion and emotion was what kept me reading. I liked how she drew all the characters together from the previous books, concluding all stories and ended the series beautifully. All in all I would say if you are a fan of the series, keep an open mind and give it a try.
