Forgotten...Book 16 in the Brides of the Kindred Series

I loved this storyline! I find myself looking for a Kindred man in real life! Thank you for Evangeline! Never disappoints!

If nothing else, this serious remains consistent. It picks up right after the last volume, which I will admit, I didn’t read, which is normal for the series.
This time we are following, Kate and Rone. Now I really like Rone. Kate was the one I had a problem with for about 2/3 of the book.
After losing her memories, she becomes this incredibly dangerous, gun, wielding, female. It felt as if the author wasn’t sure if they wanted to make her strong or weak, and Kate flip-flopped between the two dynamics. Additionally, as his tradition with this series, Kate is yet another victim of sexual assault. It really makes me wonder if Florida has a very serious problem.
The thing is that I felt that this additional trauma was unnecessary for Kate. The basis of the story was quite strong and very intriguing. A wife who lost her memories and needs to be reconnected with her husband? It’s good stuff. Then with the added effect of a drug that caused her to be afraid of him, and the fact that she still needed to team has beast? Again, good stuff. Watching Rone deal with the emotions of having his mate so close but being unable to actually touch her? Again, great stuff.

Sadly, it seems like all the additional trauma and the flip-flopping us of Kate’s newly repressed “bad experience in college” (which she gets over in a matter of seconds btw) hindered the core of the story. I think if Kate would’ve been a more well-rounded character, this story actually would’ve worked out much better. It’s not a bad addition to the series. I tend to skim over the ridiculous parts, like Kate, more than willing to shoot and attempted to kill a human being and having zero consequence… She just didn’t seem consistent, as a character. I guess this was probably because she was incomplete/broken because of her memory loss, but it really had a habit of breaking the immersion of the story and in many cases felt lazy and dumb as she became a broke record about either her scars of her “bad experience.”
But as always, this series is consistent with all the other books. And it’s a pretty simple read. It’s just a shame, because I think it could’ve been better, if more thought would’ve been given to Kate and a deeper Consideration that not all of the “strong” females have to overcome sexual trauma. I think it might be time to pull another play from the book and put the r-card down.

I have to say it's been quite a while since I've been addicted to a series. I just started to read the Kindred Bride series 1 month ago and I can't stop. On a day off, I can find that I can read 5 books and still crave more. Yes, they all have most of the same "I'm not worthy of love" or "how can they love me because of my past" issues that stand in the way of becoming a couple. But, I find the way the Kindred male seduces his woman to be irresistible. I even find myself wondering what is wrong with my own husband. If you want an easy romantic and simply erotic story with characters that continue to ind themselves together, read Evangaline Anderson's books.
