Rhomiko and the Confirmed Bachelor

Amaranthine Saga, Book 7

By: Forthright

Narrated by: Travis Baldree

One bachelor is love-shy. One is unrequited. One is much-loved. One is blindsided.

Argent Mettlebright knows how to keep a secret safe, but it's only a matter of time before someone notices that Hisoka Twineshaft has disappeared from the political arena. With tensions on the rise, the world needs his leadership more than ever.

Nobody wants to help Sensei more than Isla Ward, but his door is barred against her. Right, then. She has a plan, and she has a co-writer. Maybe with their next book, her hopes will finally reach her mentor.

With spring's arrival, Stately House's enclave stands ready to welcome a Scattering. The estate has never been more secure, but Tsumiko wouldn't call the resulting sanctuary peaceful. Too many battered souls. Too many wistful glances. But with the help of a dragon bard's lullabies and an impish crosser's confidence, she leads her ever-growing family.

Seeds to plant. Imps to hatch. Winds to change. Rogues to lure. Hearts to win. Vows to keep. Lives to share.

Really good wrap up

This story is a good wrap up of the primary Amaranthine series. I can’t say it’s a standalone- it really should be enjoyed in order.
Characters are matched up in pairs and mini clans. Ginkgo was a really sweet surprise (refer to Mikoto). Evildoers are caught to the great relief of all. Integration of the Amaranthine has progressed significantly, especially in the U.S.
And Stately House continues to experience change and growth. It’s lovely that the series ends with Tsumiko and Argent, as it started with them.
Baldree became the voice of the series even though I couldn’t visualize it at the start.

Great

Great end to a wonderful series. I really enjoyed both the story and narration. It does a wonderful job of wrapping up all the little loose ends from the other books in the series.
