Fire Bonded by M.A. Abraham – a Review

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / Apple

Description:
Lyra and Raine live on a mountain, next to a ski resort where they teach snow sports on a daily basis. It’s a perfect foil for two Ice Elves who are Guardians of the last portal. Things get interesting when Telion and Riven arrive to escort the two women who are their Life Mates to the Elven Empire. There they find that not only is the portal weak, but inaccessible. As things turn from bad to worse, they are left with no choice but to travel to the deep north to find Pianth. They are about to find out this is the least of their concerns, for even when they finish with their task, they learn the Elven Empire is preparing to go on a move that is bonded by fire.

Review:

Fire Bonded by M.A. Abraham is the 4^th novella in her Elven Sentinel series.  The previous novellas do read very well as a stand-alone, as enough information is given early on.   Refresher:  The Sentinels are elves who were sent to live secretly in the human world, and as the parents pass, the children step forward. These elves (pretending to be human) are scattered all over the world to watch over and protect the portals across the land to prevent anyone entering the Elven Empire.   In Fire Bonded, we get to see the last of the elves who were responsible to keep an eye on the portal.

Lyra and Raine are the two final elves (fire elves), and they live near a ski resort to teach skiing.  The first of the Sentinels who arrives to greet them, is Telion and he is Raine’s Lifemate.  Shortly thereafter, Corolon arrives and meets his Lifemate, Lyra.   The men have been sent by Lothrail to rescue the remaining girls, get the books needed, and return to Elven Empire.   But things are not going to be easy, since the portal has weakened, and a major threat has their eye on them.

Arya, a powerful demon, survived the attack of her leader in the last book; and now with information that he left her, and learning how powerful she really is; she is determined to find those who have the ability to enter the portal to a magical world.

Corolon, senses the demon following them, and tries to get the four of them to find the books and leave.  However, Arya was not to be denied, and holds them hostage, with a gun pointed at one of the ladies, and the men are protective of their Lifemates.    What follows is an intense battle to protect themselves from the evil threatening their lives, and find a way to return home.  Arya was an evil villain, not to mention very powerful.  Will Lothrail be able to help them escape, and what happens if Arya manages to enter the portal to the Elven World?

Fire Bonded was an exciting and excellent ending to this series.  I did enjoy the four main characters, as they were fun, and accepting their Lifemates.  As always, I love seeing Gabriella, even if it’s for a very short period.  If you have not read the earlier books, I suggest you start with the first book (Earth Bonded), in order to fully understand.  Fire Bonded was very well written by M.A. Abraham.
