Happy publication day to author Daniela A Mera and congratulations on the release of the final book in the Entangled with the Enduar duet, To Ignite a Flame!
Estela and Teo’s story continues in To Ignite a Flame, and you are not going to want to miss the gripping conclusion to this pair’s duology. But don’t get too comfortable. Once you’ve been introduced to this world, you’re going to want to revisit again and again.
To Ignite a Flame picks up where book one, To Steal a Bride, left off. Well, sorta. At the beginning of this book we get clued in to what exactly is Rholker’s “hang-up” when it comes to Estela. What’s his deal exactly? Well, we get a glimpse into what has become his obsession when it comes to Estela. Just goes to show how a simple act of “kindness” can go to plant a seed of twisted desire in an individual that pushes them to do cruel things. Don’t think for one second we’re excusing Rholker, far from it. He’s a jerk and deserves what he has coming for him.
Once the story shifts back to our two main characters Estela and Teo we’re thrown into the chaos that they are struggling with and suffering through. Estela, has been kidnapped by the giants. When she has finally stopped being so obstinate towards Teo and allows him in this happens. Of course it does, because why not? Otherwise we wouldn’t have a story to dive into, right? LOL!
Now, Estela is locked up in a dungeon, Rholker is looking to claim her for his comfort woman, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to have her. How far will he go? Well, book one left readers with the answer to that question, and book two continues it. Let’s just remind everyone of this one fact...Rhokler...is unhinged. Period-t.
Teo is struggling with his own problems with Estela. He misses her, he needs her, but his people need him, too. Compound all of that with his quest for answers. Yeah, the author dropped quite the bomb on readers with the Elves turning traitorous behind an artifact that was stolen years ago. You’d have thought they’d have gotten over it! I mean, come on!! They’re doing great! They’re doing better than the trolls, ahem, excuse us – the Enduares. So...does it really matter? Still? Well, the answer to that question...you’ll find it deep inside this book. LOL!
Estela is a challenging character to really “love” but she grows on you. Just be careful, because right when you think she’s making progress...she does/says something that throws it all out the window. LOL! You can’t help but think...”less vitriol Estela, less!” Seriously, less means that you’ll potentially make a friend or two who will be willing to help you out. Just a thought. LOL!
Prepare for a lot of chaos and drama with this book. You can’t help but hope for the best for the two lovers as they each fight to get back to the other. It won’t be an easy thing, but everything that plays out is beautifully written as each grows to love and care for the other more. Huh, so absences makes the heart grow fonder in this case.
But Estela was challenging as hell in book one, Teo takes up the mantle in this book. We cut him some slack because we get his damage more so. He has a set goal and agenda, with Estela (especially in book one) she just came off as contrary and obstinate.
Readers who are wanting a HEA are going to get in this book. Of course, since it’s a duology, it’s to be fully expected. It’ll take some time to get there, but it is definitely worth the wait.
Love a good fantasy romance novel packed with drama, tension, and so much more? Then this is the duology for you.

The spark has been lit, and now they’ll burn the world to return to each other’s arms.
Teo made Estela queen of the Enduares—his queen—only for the giants to steal her away on their wedding night.
Locked in a cage, far away from her new home, she plots to paint the palace with Rholker’s blood. He will pay for everything he’s taken.
As she schemes, Teo races across the land in search of allies among the elves. Now that he’s found his mate, he will lie, cheat, steal, and slit throats only for a chance to have his soft human back in his arms. Safe.
To Ignite a Flame is the second book in Estela and Teo’s duet, but it is part of a larger series called Entangled with the Enduar. It is a steamy fantasy romance featuring a desperate heroine and a powerful hero. This adult fantasy romance is perfect for readers of Sarah J. Maas, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Danielle L. Jensen.
Note: This story is an adult/new adult novel with mentions of trauma, abuse, captivity, and other mature themes.
