Zasha Gershwin lives a rigidly controlled life. He doesn’t see anything wrong with being prepared and organized, and he certainly doesn’t have time for such frivolous things as love. He cares for Thane, and he’s certainly attracted to the witch, but that’s just how the mating bond works.
While his mate may not remember their previous life together, Thane Braddock has no trouble recalling every moment, right up to their tragic end. Now, he has a second chance to make everything right. Unfortunately, he’s making all new mistakes this time around.
Evil lurks to the west, spreading its shadow across the desert, and the races hover on the verge of war. When the Braddocks are called to answer the rising threat, Thane and Zasha’s turbulent relationship will be pushed to its breaking point. Can they rekindle the old flame before it’s too late? Or is history destined to repeat itself?
Review
Four-Letter Words
by Gabrielle Evans is a story of
discovery and fulfillment as Thane Braddock and Zasha Gershwin are reunited
from past lives. The tale brings the
Braddock brothers closer to fighting a mysterious and uncanny foe as more
questions arise than answers. Thane and his brothers must rescue lost siblings
in order to fulfill their destiny all the while keeping their mates and
personal lives safe and secure.
Thane is deeply in love with Zasha. Zasha, aware of his past
connection to his mate Thane, is disillusioned and does not believe in love, an
intangible emotion and one the new Zasha does not subscribe to. Thane makes it
his mission to love-bomb Zasha, thus sealing their lives and destinies.
When I saw the title Four-Letter
Words I wondered what four-letter word would stand out most to me as a
reader and reviewer. I read the book specifically looking for words, and then I
read it again to simply read. Ms. Evans
used words such as mate, heal, need, want, mine, and love. The final
four-letter word she wrote was home.
Thane longed for his mate to love him unconditionally and
find his place in his life; his life being his home. Zasha was written as a man
who knew the world, but was not worldly, especially when emotions were
attached. Ms. Evans was brilliant in
her joining of Thane and Zasha, their personalities complimented each other, their
desire to be together over came any obstacle and their need for acceptance
drove them.
I was pulled into the story as I became invested in their
lives, touched by every nuance written. Turmoil led to tenderness and despair
led to love. Ms. Evans is a master
story teller and never fails to deliver a story filled with lust, desire and
intrigue. Within the same chapter I was
overcome with emotion as I laughed and cried. Her characters are demonstrative and passion-filled
and open a reader’s eyes to new worlds.
Through the careful words of Gabrielle Evans, Thane and Zasha discover the most important word
they need; home. Home is not bricks
and mortar, but Ms. Evans has written
that home is the foundation for all that is symbolic. Home is the joining of
two wayward souls and the discovery of what truly is mate.
