Gideon, by Macy Blake, is a great continuation of the Chosen Champions series (which started with Logan).
It is definitely a romance – specifically, a second-chance romance – between vampire Gideon and incubus Taj, but it is just as much building the found family of Logan and Bailey’s pack. If you have not yet read Logan, you really should read it before Gideon. While the romance would stand alone, the rest of the world-building will not be as clear if you’ve skipped Logan.
Also, while the book continues in the world of the Chosen One and Hellhounds series, it is not necessary to read all of them before this book, though if you have, there will be some delightful Easter eggs for you!
Taj had a brief appearance in Logan, helping to uncover an incubus who was violently attacking others. At that time, it was clear that he and Gideon – part of Logan’s pack – had a past history. As a fae cut off from his realm, Taj has been struggling to make his way in the world, despite the world-wise help of his human friend Erich.
Gideon and his team are sent to investigate more magic problems and come across Taj again. Sparks fly between Gideon and Taj, despite the pain of past betrayal. Feelings get harder to deny when it becomes clear that Taj and Erich are in danger because of some of the choices they have been forced to make. Hopefully, Logan’s team and their powerful friends can defeat the evil that has Taj in its sight.
While Gideon and Taj are working out their feelings from the past and looking towards what possibilities the future might hold, the rest of Logan’s team is continuing to build and gel. The balance of the book – between building the team and building the romance is spot-on. This works in large part because the team plays a role in helping to open Gideon’s heart to connections with others (including Taj) and in teaching Taj that he can trust and be part of a community again.
The book does a great job providing check-ins for characters who readers care about, pushing the overarching story forward, and never losing sight of the central romance that drives this particular story. (And, of course, it sets up delightful teases of possibilities for future books.) Another great read from Macy Blake!
(I read an ARC of the book just prior to full release.)
