The Blades of the Rose Bundle: Warrior, Scoundrel, Rebel, & Stranger ReviewI have really loved reading Zoe Archer's Blades of the Rose. Her series is a wonderful combination of adventure and romance, sprinkled with a touch of magic and a bit of sex, set in gorgeous locales in a time gone by. The overarching theme involves the noble members of the Blades of the Rose finding love even as they fight to prevent the elitist Heirs of Albion who are intent on stealing magical artifacts and accumulating enough magical power to install England as the world's supreme power.
In Warrior (Blades of the Rose #1), Thalia, a sturdy yet beautiful Englishwomen living in Mongolia, takes on her first mission as a Blade and ends up with an unwanted protector in the honorable, heroic, commanding, capable and virile Captain Gabriel Huntley - gotta love those manly men. I loved the initial conflict between the independent Thalia and the protective Gabriel and there were enough contests and battles, mixed in with the glimpses of far-off Mongolia and its people, to keep the story moving while still allowing time for a slowly building yet steamy relationship for Thalia and Gabriel.
Scoundrel (The Blades of the Rose #2) stars the oh-so gorgeous Blade Bennett day. Bennett is a rake, but an appealing one because he truly loves the women who flock to his bed. But Bennett's views on love undergo a change once he meets London Harcourt, daughter of the leader of his enemies. London's joy at experiencing all that life has to offer, as she for the first time tastes freedom having lived an extremely restricted life, captures Bennett's interest. I loved London's willingness to risk her life and her heart for the chance to finally experience passion and I enjoyed watching Bennett's frustration when his world view shifts and he can't get London to `hear' what he is really saying. Scoundrel is set in and around the beautiful isles of Greece and also offers a bonus side romance between supporting characters, witch Athena and salty sea captain Kallas.
Rebel (The Blades of the Rose #3) takes place in the beautiful frozen Pacific Northwest and adds a touch of paranormal to the world of the Blades. When Native attorney Nathan Lesperance returns to the area inhabited by his ancestors, and even as something hidden within him begins to stir, Nathan finds himself inexplicably drawn to frontier woman Astrid, a former Blade who has lived in self-imposed exile after the death of her husband at the hands of the Heirs. Rebel was my favorite of the Blades of Rose books, Archer really outdid herself in with this story. Nathan and Astrid are both well drawn characters and their slowly developing relationship brings a great deal of emotional depth to a story that also had a good amount of action and covers some very beautifully described territory.
The final book, Stranger (The Blades of the Rose #4), stars genius inventor Catallus Graves, who has made appearances throughout the series. Catallus is quite reserved, so his romance is not as fiery as some of the other Blade's romances. Also the book has a different feel from the rest of the series, since the leads' quest to stop a magical takeover which threatens epic consequences takes them not to some exotic earthly locale but to the otherworldly land of Faerie. But I was charmed by Catallus and I loved Catallus ' heroine, Gemma Murphy, her determination, inquisitiveness and willingness to take the lead in moving their romance forward was quite appealing.
I highly recommend the Blades of the Rose series if you are at all interested in historical-ish adventure romances with a touch of magic set in gorgeouslocales. Don't fret if you don't own an e-reader, all four books are available separately in paperback too. If you are looking for more Blades of the Rose there is also prequel novella in the anthology Half Past Dead.The Blades of the Rose Bundle: Warrior, Scoundrel, Rebel, & Stranger OverviewThe Blades of the Rose BundleWarriorTo most people, the realm of magic is the stuff of nursery rhymes and dusty libraries. But for Capt. Gabriel Huntley, it's become quite real and quite dangerous. . . In Hot Pursuit. . .The vicious attack Capt. Gabriel Huntley witnesses in a dark alley sparks a chain of events that will take him to the ends of the Earth and beyond--where what is real and what is imagined become terribly confused. And frankly, Huntley couldn't be more pleased. Intrigue, danger, and a beautiful woman in distress--just what he needs. In Hotter Water. . .Raised thousands of miles from England, Thalia Burgess is no typical Victorian lady. A good thing, because a proper lady would have no hope of recovering the priceless magical artifact Thalia is after. Huntley's assistance might come in handy, though she has to keep him in the dark. But this distractingly handsome soldier isn't easy to deceive. . .

But the work is dangerous--and they can't always protect their own. . . Ready For ActionLondon Harcourt's father is bent on subjugating the world's magic to British rule. But since London is a mere female, he hasn't bothered to tell her so. He's said only that he's leading a voyage to the Greek isles. No matter, after a smothering marriage and three years of straitlaced widowhood, London jumps at the opportunity--unfortunately, right into the arms of Bennett Day. Risking It AllBennett is a ladies' man, when he's not dodging lethal attacks to protect the powers of the ancients from men like London's father. Sometimes, he's a ladies' man even when he is dodging them. But the minute he sees London he knows she will require his full attention. The woman is lovely, brilliant, and the only known speaker of a dialect of ancient Greek that holds the key to calling down the wrath of the gods. Bennett will be risking his life again--but around London, what really worries him is the danger to his heart. . . RebelOn the Canadian frontier in 1875, nature is a harsh mistress.

He's the first Native attorney in Vancouver, and welcome neither with white society nor his sometime tribe. Not to mention the powerful wildness he's always felt inside him, too dangerous to set free. Then he met Astrid Bramfield and saw his like within her piercing eyes. Now, unless she helps him through the harsh terrain and the harsher unknowns of his true abilities, it could very well get him killed. . . And The Woman Who Left The PackAstrid has traveled this path before. Once she was a Blade of the Rose, protecting the world's magic from unscrupulous men, with her husband by her side. But she's loved and lost, and as a world-class frontierswoman, she knows all about survival. Nathan's searing gaze and long, lean muscles mean nothing but trouble. Yet something has ignited a forgotten flame inside her: a burning need for adventure, for life--and perhaps even for love. . . Praise for The Blades of the Rose "The action explodes on page one and the pace never lets up. You're gonna love The Blades of the Rose." --Ann Aguirre, national bestselling author of Hell Fire on Rebel He protects the world's magic--with his science.
