Doherty is great at establishing the "feel" of scenes quickly and I really enjoyed the ramping up of tension throughout this story. An approaching blood moon and the ongoing threat from Tanner's pack of origin have them all under a great deal of tension. The pack is still bonding in this novel.although things are definitely settling into place. and perhaps other secrets kept him from bonding with Ean. His past experience with interspecies mating. In an earlier book, it became clear that the two shifters were mates but Matthias was having none of it. This particular installment focusses on Matthias - a dragon shifter - and Ean - a wolf shifter. This book continues the story of the various pack members Doherty has brought to life in her series. I've reached out to the author and will update if that is incorrect. At the time of writing this, I believe it might be the conclusion of the series. This is the fourth book in the Chevalier Series by Kay Doherty.

I received Hearts of Destiny in exchange for a fair and honest review. The Chevalier series put a unique twist on shifter romance and I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for readers next. This series was my introduction to Kay Doherty, but I’ll be keeping my eye out for more from this author. Even though each book centered around a different couple in the Chevalier pack, nothing for any of them was resolved until this final story. The author did an amazing job of wrapping things up and making the final book worth the wait and giving ALL the characters, not just Ean and Matthias, the HEA they deserved. There were a lot of twists, turns and surprises in Hearts of Destiny. Ean’s ridiculous plan just made him come around a little faster – which was probably a good thing. If Ean hadn’t resorted to tricking Matthias, I’m sure he would have come around eventually. It wasn’t a surprise that he was keeping secrets, but once they were revealed, things became a lot clearer. Matthias wasn’t my favorite, but he redeemed himself in Hearts of Destiny.

Almost everyone else in the pack knew it, which only made it worse. <3įinally! I suppose that there was no better couple to end the Chevalier series with, but readers were tortured almost as much as Ean with Matthias’ denial. A very satisfying end to a unique series.
