Rayla is an Elemental and is learning to manipulate all five elements while at the same time trying to understand and get to know each of the Lords, make a love connection, avoid the evil fae lord sister Ainessa, rescue her family, and trying to not get captured by the Order again.Poor Rayla! You can’t help but feel bad for the girl but at the same time envy her a little.Who do you trust when everyone wants you for your power? Can you even hope for love when you are being forced to bond with one of the five fae lords?Well, Rayla Tate is going to give it a shot. In order to postpone a permanent bonding with one of the lords she has agreed to temporarily bond with all five of them.  In Rayla’s words at the beginning of chapter one, “Sounds pretty smutty, but thankfully it isn’t as bad as it sounds”. She hopes that this temporary solution will buy her the time to discover whom she can trust and most of all if she can trust her heart.Christie Rich’s world building and character development is amazing.  All of the characters continue to grow and change. I love that the author has woven questions of social class structure and weighing love against responsibilities into a story that is both vivid and captivating. As I have said before this is a fantastic series that continues to get better with each book.
