An Eternal Guardians Novella (1001 Dark Nights)

I received an ARC for an honest review.

Every time I read a book from the Eternal Guardians series, I fall in love all over again. As soon as I finish one, I want to start over with Theron's story.

Even though this story is cataloged as a novella, it is fantastic!! Nothing ever felt rushed or skipped over. Just like all the other Guardian books, Ms. Naughton writes such a vivid tale! I get lost in the world she creates and all of the mythical creatures just fascinates me.

Ari is an Argonaut that has gone rogue and Daphne is a Siren-in-training tasked by Zeus and Athena to bring him down. Once Daphne meets Ari, she discovers things that make her question everything she's ever known.

I absolutely loved this story! There's mystery, romance, and we even get a little glimpse of Argolea and some of the guardians. Oh, and that ending... Wow! I won't spoil it for you, but just know... You. Must. Read. This!!!

I can always tell how much I missed the Argonauts, as soon as I pick up one of their books. This is book #7.5 in the series, and as it was just a novella, for me, it was over too quickly.. however.. it did bring up some good intrigue that I hope will be resolved in the next story.

I believe I first met Ari, in Nick's book, Twisted, and I am glad he got a story of his own. He, like all the Argonauts, are strong leads, who need a confident match. Daphne was a good mate for him. I can't wait to see whose story is next. I say this with every addition to this series... if haven't read about these Eternal Guardians.. You really should!!!

I love The Eternal guardian series! I read it all in one night. I couldn’t put it down until i was finished. I love the characters, especially when they pull in the Argonauts. Such great characters. The main characters in the story, Daphne and Ari, were well written. You could feel the chemistry between the two. The love scenes were hot and exciting. I love Ms Naughtons writing style. You get very involved in the stories right away. The books always leave you wanting to see what happens next, who will hook up together, maybe Silas and Sappheire ? We will see….

ARC reviewed for a honest review.

This was my first read by this author. Absolutely a wonderful read. I enjoy reading books about the Gods and this one didn't disappoint.

Ari has lost so much time to his revenge. He locks himself away and only protects. He misses his family and his old life.

Daphne is a training siren sent to distort Ari.
What she finds in the process is simply stunning.

This book is a must read. So many emotions play out in this read.

Excellent writing with a fantastic storyline.

5 great stars

Ravaged is a great book by Elisabeth Naughton in the Eternal Guardians series. Ari is handsome, Tara is beautiful and together they are strong and fearless warriors. The danger is intense, the fighting is fierce and their passion is explosive leaving you breathless. From the first page I was hooked and couldn't stop turning the pages until the very end. Ms. Naughton's books never disappoints and I always look forward to her next one. I would highly recommend this book to everyone, especially lovers of Mythology. I received this ARC book in exchange for my honest opinion. Enjoy, I did!

First I’d like to thank you for ARC Elisabeth. I Love the Eternal Guardian series and I was not disappointed. I was enthralled by this book and found I was having a hard time putting it down. The emotional roller coaster is uncanny. You captured me and pulled me right into to this story. Ladies you will not be disappointed at all, the thrill, excitement, passion, you’ll become part of the story. Well done Elisabeth, Well Done.

Short as a novella should be. but it gives glimpses into the greater plot line of the eternal guardians series as a whole. i wont recap the whole story (ill let you figure it out.) suffice to say that it was an enjoyable quick read. i got an early copy in return for my honest review. perfect for a day at the beach or where ever you read to get away..

Amazing! A lost character coming to life in this story. Once you start reading you cannot put it down! Characters are given a second chance at love and life even with the Gods trying to stop it at all cost. You will fall in love and cry while reading this book and wonder if the son will have enough love and understanding to forgive his father.
My only complaint is that I wish the story line of the kingdom and guardians were included more into this story. But if you're looking for a forbidden love story between a grief stricken guardian and a Siren in training then this is definitely the book for you!

Loved Aristokles and Daphne. What an emotional love story. So glad Daphne found Aristokles. Glad everything worked out the way it did. Zeus is unbelievable. Hope he gets what he should. Can not wait to see where the next book takes us.

Elizabeth Naughton’s, Ravaged: An Eternal Guardians Novella (book 7.5 in that series) is the latest installment in the 1001 Dark Nights series and it does not disappoint. I have read a few of the other 1001 Dark Nights novellas, but this is the first one that I have read from Elizabeth Naughton’s Eternal Guardians series and it will not be the last. I was hooked from page one and I loved how the author, despite being a novella, took the time to provide the reader with character and storyline details that can be lacking in other books of this length. The characters were well defined and I absolutely loved the banter and dialog between them. Even if you had not read any other book from these series, there was great continuity in the writing and you were still able to follow what was occurring and the situations were so well described. I truly appreciate her attention to detail - the scenes were suspenseful when needed as well as passionate and steamy when required. I also loved how she was able to blend Greek Mythology references but incorporate them with a modern twist – they did not appear farfetched. My only disappointment, it was over too soon  However, I cannot wait to start from the beginning of this series and see what I have been missing out on. This one is a definite MUST read, you will not be disappointed!!!

Note: I would like to note that I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This does not, in any way, affect my opinion of the book.

Ravaged focuses on Ari's story. Ari was a Guardian 50 years ago, but when he lost his soul mate he went a bit nuts. He faked his death so his son would move on and leave him alone with his grief. During those 50 years he has hunted sirens, the ones he blamed for his mate's death. Now, Zeus and Athena send in a novice Siren to seduce and kill Ari, but when Daphne arrives, what she has been told by Zeus and Athena does not mesh with the warrior who comes to her aid. Through their story she comes to care for him and he for her and along the way they fight a secret sect of Sirens, find out he is cursed, is not in fact crazy, and he is reunited with his son and fellow Guardians. It was a fun, short read and I enjoyed seeing Ari find a happy ending after the loss of his soul mate.

Talk about betrayal! Daphne was living a life full of lies. She was sent by Zeus and Athena to kill the monster rogue Argonaut, Aristokles. She was promised a position as a full fledged Siren upon her completion of this task. Who knew the more she got to know this so called monster, the more aware she became of the lies she'd been told and of her attraction to him.

Daphne is so full of spirit. She stands up for herself and for what she believes is right. Aristokles is a big, sexy, cursed warrior and it's his life's mission to help those in need.

I couldn't put this book down. It's full of action, romance, forgiveness and suspense. I can't wait to read more of this amazing series from this fantastic author.
