In The Promised Queen, the thrilling finale to Jeffe Kennedy's Forgotten Empires trilogy, the fate of the world hangs in the balance as Con, Lia, and their allies sacrifice everything in a final bid to destroy the corrupt empire.
Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, the lush romantic fantasy world of the Forgotten Empires series will sweep you away.
Claim the hand that wears the ring, and the empire falls.
Conrรญ, former Crown Prince of Oriel, claimed the hand that wears the Abiding Ring, but the prophecy remains unfulfilled. Queen Euthalia of Calanthe returned to her island kingdom, but broken in mind and body. With the blood of war unleashing ancient terrors, Calanthe isn’t the haven it once was.
Lia must use her magical bond with Calanthe to save their people while Con fights to hold off the vengeful Emperor Anure and his wizards. Con and Lia will have to trust in each other—and in love—to fend off ultimate disaster.
The Promised Queen is the conclusion of the Forgotten Empires series. I highly suggest that anyone interested start with book one and read them in order of publication.
Con and Lia, both used to depending only on themselves, had to learn trust, tenderness, and love. Emotions that not only helped them bond, but also helped them unite to protect their people. Con and Lia grew both as a couple and as individuals, gaining the knowledge needed to see the last battle with Emperor Anure through to the end.
Jeffe Kennedy has created a unique and fascinating fantasy world. Every book has been a phenomenal journey and I cannot express how wonderful the conclusion to this fantastical series is. All the loose ends are tied together perfectly. I can honestly say that this is one of the most satisfying endings I have ever read. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good fantasy with an embedded romance.

Dianne Duvall’s Top 5 Recommended Reads for the Season
Hello! Thank you for joining us. I’m very happy to be here today, celebrating the release of AN IMMORTAL GUARDIANS COMPANION. This year marks the tenth anniversary of the launch of my Immortal Guardians series, so I thought it would be the perfect time to provide fans with a one-stop shop for some fun Immortal Guardians extras: over a dozen deleted scenes (which feature favorite characters), bonus scenes, short stories, and many laugh-inspiring character interviews (often conducted by Sheldon). And what better month for the release than October? :-)
Back when paranormal romances were relatively rare, I could always count on a few precious PNR books to release in the weeks leading up to Halloween. Well, that season is upon us again. And my TBR Pile is once more teetering near the ceiling. So, I thought I would share some paranormal romances… as well as a couple of books outside the genre… that I think are great reads for the season.
1) The New Species series by Laurann Dohner. If you haven’t delved into this PNR series, you should check it out. It’s one I enjoy so much that I return to it and reread it often.
2) The Stand by Stephen King. Those of you who chat with me online know I love Stephen King’s writing. He is an amazing storyteller whose books always manage to make me think things like, “Wow. No other writer would’ve thought to describe that in such a way.” And this book is one of my favorites.
3) The Argeneneau Vampire Series by Lynsay Sands. I’ve been reading these books for years and always enjoy them. I admit I’ve fallen a little bit behind on the series, but I’m really looking forward to catching up.
4) Shock Value by Jason Zinoman. Before my writing career took off, I used to work in the local independent film industry. And one of the producer/directors I worked with clued me in to this one. The subtitle sums it up well. The book shows “How a Few Eccentric Outsiders Gave Us Nightmares, Conquered Hollywood, and Invented Modern Horror.” If you like horror movies, you’ll probably enjoy this.
5) The Lords of the Underworld Series by Gena Showalter. This is another paranormal romance series I enjoy rereading. The characters always pull me right in right from the first page.
If you give any of these a try, I hope you’ll enjoy them!
For those who are hearing about my Immortal Guardians series for the first time: If you like powerful heroes who adore strong women, action scenes that will keep you flipping pages well past your bedtime, and romance that is alternately steamy and sweet and laced with humor, then I hope you’ll give it a try. :-)
What books would you recommend for this season?

A Buzzfeed “19 Anticipated Books That Have Finally Been Released For You To Read”
The final book in the wickedly seductive new Scottish historical romance trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Enoch, Hit Me With Your Best Scot!
The MacTaggert brothers have one task:
Find English brides or lose their land!
Coll MacTaggert, Viscount Glendarril, is a big, brawny Highlander who doesn’t like being told what to do—not even by his exasperated English mother who is determined to see her eldest son wedded and bedded. However, when he comes to the rescue of an irresistibly beautiful woman, Coll discovers that he may have found his perfect match…
The challenge isn’t that Persephone Jones is famous, wealthy, independent, and smarter than anyone he knows. The problem is that she isn't interested in marrying any man—especially not a hot-headed Scot—even if he is the only man who seems to understand who she really is even when she’s not sure herself. When Coll learns that Persephone is actually a lady-in-hiding and someone is willing to kill her for what she stands to inherit…Well, Coll has never been one to turn down a fight. When hearts are involved, nothing comes between a Highlander and his lady.
In Hit Me with Your Best Scot Coll McTaggart is the last of the McTaggert’s who needs to find a bride, or his mother will pull all financial resources from his father and their Scottish land. Persephone Jones has everything she wants, independence and a job she loves. She begins to suspect her life is in danger and finds the idea of male protection necessary. When the path of these two crosses, they find they can help each other. Coll in finding a bride, and Persephone protection.
Although this story did not find its way to even a top ten for me and it is not my favorite of the series that I have read, it did not make me cringe while reading it. Admittedly, historical romances are not my favorite backdrop, but I do not mind them from time to time and I like a Scottish highlander. Persephone can stick up for herself and she is not a push over. Coll respects her and does not treat her like an unintelligent woman. There is not much of a slow burn here, lust plays a big part in their coming together and they do not deny that for long. The rigid society that surrounds them hinders their relationship, but they overcome it. Coll and Persephone make a good pair and there is a sweetness to them. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys historical romance.
