Camiella continues to file complaints against her family and takes self defense classes while Laev is rebuilding his life, continuing to socialize and taking an active interest in his friends and family.

I like that while they are kind people they aren’t push overs. Family and friendship is important to them and they both shoulder more then their fair share of guilt. Laev and Carmiella are strong, intelligent people-both the victims of cruel people. The story starts out introducing us to our protagonists and showing us the reasons behind the walls they have built around their hearts. Owen’s shows their faces and lets their voices be heard. We see more a realistic view of this society the selfish, the cruel, and the social constructs that it’s built upon. A bit darker and edgier then what we have seen with the last few installments. I found Heart Search to be reminiscent of Ms. Due to her cruel father’s and uncle’s constant abuse, Camiella finds it hard to trust any man-including her Heart Mate. Abandoned by her family at age 15, she has worked hard to built up a good life and business. He knows that he has a true Heart Mate out there but his heart cannot bare the pain or shame that he might once again not be what a woman wants.Ĭamiellia Darjeerling has always known who her HeartMate is but when he choose another woman, she buried the pain and went on with her life. He has hired a private investigator to locate and retrieve the residence heirlooms. Now that his Fathersire has passed, Laev is head of the residence and slowly putting his life and home back together.

After her death, Laev discovers she stole from his family and even gave his HeartMate gift away. She only wanted the money and prestige of being married into a first family. Then he married at a young age to who he assumed was his HeartMate, only to find she wasn’t. His family has feuded with the Hollys for centuries-causing death and animosity on both sides. Laev T’Hawthorne hasn’t had an easy life.
