REVIEW
I received an e-ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Chosen champion was a sequel worthy of its characters and full of unstoppable movemtn and action. As Vi tries to find a way to reachTaavin, the danger of the epidemic of the White Death spreads and no one is safe anymore. There are many twists and turns in this book with mysyteries and prophecies that may or may not come true.
I also fear that Taavin knows that either he or Vi will dies but I can't confirm it. I hope for the best. There is a plot twist I didn't see it coming and a cliffhanger that made me demand more! I seriously can't wait for the final (?) book in the series!

Summary from GoodReads
After I caught my boyfriend cheating, I tried to be mature about it with an amicable split. But he took his retaliation too far, and I have officially had enough. No more Miss Nice Haven.
No one is allowed to lie to me, betray, embarrass, and devastate me, fill me with self-doubt, or put my future at risk, and expect to get away with it. He is going to feel my wrath.
Enter Wick Webster, his archenemy.
Nothing would provoke my ex more than to see me moving on with the one guy he hates most, so that’s exactly what I plan to do.
The only hitch in my brilliant scheme is Wick himself. He’s just gotta be all love-not-war and peace-is-the-only-way. He’s more concerned about helping me heal than seeking my sweet revenge.
And what the hell is it about his soothing presence and yummy looks that calls to me until I forget how much pain I’m in? He’s making it awfully hard to use and abuse him for my malicious means. The damn guy is making me fall for him.

REVIEW
I received an e-ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
There is a certain beauty on seeing the characters you love form a previous series appear again and this time their daughter is the protagonist! I am a huge fan of the Forbidden Men series by Linda Kage, but still if you haven't read the books you can read this one as a standalone and then move on to the 'prequel' series.
Haven finds her boyfriend cheating on her with her roommate and she catches them in the act. Running away, she stumbles upon Wick, who knows Haven and after a series of events they end up, sharing an apartment together. Slowly they become friends and as Haven heals over the sting of her cheating boyfriend, she slowly becomes friends with Wick and his family.
The beauty of this book was the intersecting chapters about one "Henry" who is deeply in love with a girl and his adventures in college. There is a surprise here, which personally I caught up with it in the middle of the book. I also liked the way Linda depicted a poisonous relationship, which in my opinion also included verbal abuse. It's not much but (again to my opinion) is subtly mentioned. I enjoyed this book very much and I seriously want more of college adventures and loving characters!
