Blurb/Summary:

**Rescued is the story of two different couples with two separate love stories whose lives entwine at the end of the book. Don’t ask me why my Muse made me do this.**

Davrik is a Kindred warrior who lost his beloved wife in a shuttle crash five years ago. Unwilling to accept her loss, he embarks on a mission to find her doppelganger in alternate universes. Sonya, trapped in a world devoid of love, becomes the center of his desperate rescue mission.

Captured by the Scourge and sold to an alien brothel, Sonya's life has taken a dark turn. When Davrik arrives, offering salvation, she is overjoyed at first. But that’s before she discovers a secret that shatters her heart and changes everything she thought she knew.

Lan’ara, an Empath Kindred, senses the emotions of others. Guided by her connection with Nate, a captured ex-Navy Seal, she races against time to save him from the brink of destruction. But Nate is suffering from severe PTSD, which makes him a danger to everyone around him. Can Lan’ara's unique abilities can offer him a chance at healing?

As both couples navigate their separate paths towards redemption, they converge in a final confrontation. Facing the malevolent AllFather's tyranny, they must join forces to overcome the darkness that threatens to consume them all.

In "Rescued," the 30th installment of the Brides of the Kindred series, follow these two couples as they battle their own demons, find love against all odds, and confront a danger beyond imagination. Will they emerge victorious, or will they succumb to a fate worse than death? Find out in this captivating, spicy sci-fi romance that intertwines D/s, wounded warriors, and an enemies-to-lovers journey.

Review:

Readers get to go back into the multiverse with the female Kindred in Rescued: Brides of the Kindred, Book 30. This was an action-packed story with two different Kindred searching for the one the Goddess put aside for them. Their stories intersect at pivotal moments in the plot. 

Davrik is a male giant/blood Kindred and Lan’ara is a female empath Kindred, both in search of their human mates. Davrik and Lan’ara each are protective and selfless in the pursuit of their individual mates, Sonya and Nate. Sonya and Nate, as humans, are a little wary at first, but they both rally to show incredible courage and love towards their mates Davrik and Lan’ara, respectively.

I absolutely love the sci-fi aspects in the Kindred series. Rescued has some interesting and creative details in the multiverse world-building. The story has a little of everything: romance, D/s, action, sci-fi, and horror. Evangeline Anderson achieves a HEA for both couples after putting them through hell.

Rescued is a great story with strong characters. Both relationships are complete by the end of the story, no cliff-hangers. However, as a reader, I would like to know if there are any ripple effects from the characters traveling back and forth between universes. Also, what will become of the alternate Earth, its people, and those that have previously been sold off as slaves?
