Review: White Heat by Leta Blake
SYNOPSIS:
Forbidden love conquers all
Student Vale Aman uncovers a tale of forbidden love and boundless devotion in an ancient journal dating from the early years following the Great Death when the world was divided into kingdoms known as Lineages.
Sian Maxima, the heir to a great Lineage, wants to marry his childhood sweetheart, Avila Rossi. But their love is outlawed. After a secret, desperate tryst is discovered, Avila alone will be punished for their transgressions.
Only Sian can save him.
Within the journal’s pages, Vale uncovers a story to inspire and strengthen him while he waits to find an equally great love of his own.
REVIEW:
In a surprise twist, I didn’t like this Leta Blake story. I really enjoyed the Heat of Love series thus far and thought this prologue would be an enjoyable little addition. But the novella was too short for essentially two stories crammed into it.
There was the journal flashbacks which the ending left me feeling unfulfilled and I wanted more closure. Then there was Vale’s present day and his feelings and well I thought that deserved its own attention too. The novella just lacked a balance and as a result I couldn’t find myself getting sucked into either world.
