Review: The end of a dearly-loved romance series :(

This final installment in the series concludes the ongoing adventures in Austiere, with a final showdown between Caedmon and his half-brother Braedric, and also Rowena facing off with the evil wizard Galleod.But what is more exciting in this novella is Rowena and Caedmon’s journey back through the magic armoire to the future (where Rowena originally came from). Caedmon, the quintessential gentleman-prince, is thrown  literally naked into the apartment of Rowena’s best friend Ollie and his outspoken boyfriend, John. The interaction between the men in these scenes is hilarious, and make Braedric’s Bane probably the funniest book in the series all over. (There’s also a very steamy shower scene – Caedmon’s first experience – that I won’t be forgetting too soon, lol!)No one wanted this series to end, but it does wrap up nicely with a happily-ever-after for Rowena and Caedmon, and we get a little hint at the future for the characters in Austiere. I’m sure there are enough Golden Key fans out there now to twist AJ’s arm into writing a follow-up series, but, let’s be kind and let her finish some other books first! Hmm, my mind boggles in wonder at what other manuscripts the lovely AJ might have on her laptop just waiting for her attention this year….(review posted from fridaynightromance.com)
