Exciting adventure, hot romance, and iconic characters have won her a legion of fans. Over TWO MILLION books sold! Jarmen's Jane Doe ๐ Lords of Kassis Book 6 โ๏ธ S.E. Smith ๐๐๐๐๐ I was a bit scared to read this book, after so many years spend in building up the tension, I was much afraid to be disappointed. Why, I must say now, it was absolutely not the narrative I was expecting, but Jane, Jarmen and the strange birds that make his crew are no your usual characters. Why this book was such a surprise from beginning to end. And while I would probably recommend to new readers to begin with the previous books in this series, more specifically the second and third as they introduce Jarmen then Jane. Or it might be more difficult to understand the dynamic between the couple and the side characters. But with the peculiar timelines of the narrative, it may not be so challenging to read it without further background. Still! And while it is also a romance, as the love story is what drives Jarmen to move forward, it is even more a tale of friendship, shattered dreams, hope and the challenges people will face for the persons they care about. Jarmen and Jane are a sweet couple, both survivors of horrendous traumas, each trying to built a new life with the people who become like family to them. In some way, this book opens with what would usually the ending in a normal romance, then everything derails when someone decides to play god and master. From there began a quest, one that brings together unlikely characters, the most improbable team but one linked by the love of a missing loved-one and their will to band together with one common goal despite their obvious mismatch. This book is part romance and part wild ride as Jarmen journeys to become a better version of himself, learning from his and others' mistakes, teaching himself to listen to his misfits of a friend's thoughts or ideas and accepting not everything holds in his hands. While he began this pursuit as a solitary soul, as time progresses, he makes a family of the peculiar friends who have decided to sign for this crazy run as their story turns into a legend. Plus what would this tale be without Luc, Jon Paul, Num and IQ. They are the co-stars of this space show. In all the author offers us a beautiful tale of undying love with forgiveness and resilient in its wake. 5 stars ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐บ ๐น๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น onscreen lovemaking scene Thank you for traveling on this amazing adventure with me. This story about love, loss, family, hope, and never giving up is very dear to my heart, and I hope you'll feel the same! One thing that made Jarmen's story complex was the multiple series that he was in and the dynamics of the characters. There are always characters that I fall in love with. Charon (Unit 626) is one of them. For me, a true romance is about the journey. How far would you go to save the one you loved? What would you be willing to give up to keep them safe? Those questions and more are brought to life in this story. The story also shows that you don't have to be alone in your quest. Jarmen and Jane's story is deeper and more complex than your typical romance. It is filled with action, adventure, love, laughter, tears, and hope. If you want a story of true love, this is it! "A toast to freedom," Jazin said. Jarmen mirrored Jazin's movement, and Jazin tapped their goblets gently before taking a sip and turning away. Jarmen pulled his attention from the man's back and studied his own raised glass. The Kassisans were most famous for a specific crystal that was abundant on the
