Chosen One picks up right where we left off with Caro realizing that her one nightstand was Elder Merrick and how that played out! We also get to see Caro jump back to her original timeline and repercussions of what happened. A ton of spirit questions were answered and we got to see Caro in a new light, taking on a leadership roll.

I don’t want to give too much away but Scarlett took me on a journey I was not expecting. I find that in a lot of books I can predict the ending or where the story is going and Scarlett always throws me for a loop whether I want one or not! I felt the end of this book seemed a bit abrupt; it didn’t have as big as a conclusion feel to it. There is no full resolution to the story or who Caro’s love interest is which makes me think there might be another installment but we shall see! If this book follows the Forevermore pattern, the next book should be a new character but I feel like Caro story isn’t finished. Overall, this was still a great read, Scarlett always brings you into a new world that you can’t even to begin to guess where you will end up and I always end up binge reading her books!


In exchange for my honest review, I received an ARC edition from NetGalley and Escape Publishing.

Caro has done it again and I am WITH IT! I swear I have never in my life been so in love with a set of characters. No author I read writes like Scarlett Dawn.



I get so deep into these books that I get lost in them. Housework? Um, No. Sin and I have some talking to do and that is just FAR more important.

Also,

SIN. He is hands down one of my top characters ever. AND THAT ENDING. I just don't even know what to do with myself.

I will take a glass of wine and some comfort food please because it is going to be a LONG wait for the nest book. Buuuuut, I know it will be COMPLETELY WORTH IT.

Also I should backtrack. If you are a paranormal fantasy fan you ABSOLUTELY NEED to read this series. Now. Today. you will thank me later.

Again Scarlett Dawn has written a book that is attention grabbing and demands that you stop everything else to keep reading. Caros story has been both interesting and unique and the third book in her series continues to keep us all enthralled

I received a copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

Chosen one is FINALLY here! I’m so happy, when I saw that I got approved for the ARC I started to jump up and down in the sofa, you can imagine how my sister looked at me after that. But really, I was looking forward to this one since I finished the previous which was 2 days after that one came out. That cliffhanger was killing me but not anymore.

Chosen one starts right at the moment Chosen fool ended, with a big realization that who is the individual she slept with. And boy does this cause trouble and complications for little Caro. Safe to say that that the story just gets even more complex after this.
The plot predictable starts with a huge BAM! but what you need to know that Chosen one is completely different from the previous two books. As the storyline goes there are plenty of action still but the main focus still on Caro romantic life or here or there the lack of it. What I really loved in this that emotional wise it up to par with King hall, which so far none of the other books in the series could produce. First it gives you hope, then everything break apart and our heart go through an emotional mince. It hurts so good that for me simply that would have been enough to love the book. Thankfully she even ends up with the character I rooted for, maybe with not the best circumstances but in the end things go well for them.

Caro started to show her tender and vulnerable side even in Chosen fool but in this one this side of her truly shines. Sure her snarky, sarcastic and badass self also shows up when needed but it’s mostly the lonely girl who no matter what she does somehow ends up with the short end of the stick. A lot of her insecurities also come out. I liked this side of her to and what I liked even more was the graceful way she handled her hardship, of course after a short crazy binge.

As for the secondary characters, there were quite a few of them. Manly the Elders and Kings but honestly after the long time between the books it was a bit hard for me to follow who is who. But anyway I think that it’s strange how little their presence actually felt overall when they are there the whole way. Maybe because there are too much of them at once. Also the current kings and queens and even the prodigies are not as important, they kinda pushed into the background and I missed them a bit. With the current prodigies there isn’t the kind of dynamism that I loved in King hall, but since Caro story has a different focus maybe its better this way.

Not to mention finally we get a full insight into the secrets and lives of the elusive spirit elementals. So far in the previous books we only got little snippets here and there but Chosen one gives a full disclosure and it really great to finally get to know what Caro role is in reality, what hare her powers.

I freaking loved this book there are so many in your face surprises and 180° turns that it gives a phenomenal flow to the plot. You definitely won’t be bored even for a minute. The only thing that I didn’t quite understood the meaning, the significance behind the final chapter. Or at least I hope I misunderstood it because I don’t want it to go down that particular path.

Chosen One by Scarlett Dawn is the 6th installment in her massive series Forever Evermore and the third for her heroine Caro. This book was lukewarm for me. There were parts I loved, parts I disliked, and parts that were just “meh.” I wanted to love this book because I really like Caro, but there were some issues that I just couldn’t overcome.

The Likes:
➣ Caro! I really enjoy this character. She is one of those that just faces the world and what it brings her head on and doesn’t care what others might think about her. She’s feisty, courageous, and loyal. Seriously I root for her all the way through the book.
➣ Time travel: if you read the last book then you know that we were left with a major cliffhanger and Caro forty years in the past. Personally I loved this development. I haven’t read the first trilogy in this series so I don’t really know the elders that are fleshed out in this book, but I loved seeing more of them, getting to know them better, AND then going back and rereading parts of Caro’s books when they were “first” introduced. So much makes sense now!
➣ Merrick….I won’t say anymore than that because of spoilers….but y’all *swoon*
➣ Cast of characters keeps growing and I’m not confused! I love this. Whenever there are a ton of characters, I usually need a glossary to refer back to in order to keep them all straight. However Scarlett Dawn has done a fantastic job of making each character unique enough that I don’t need it.

The Dislikes:
➣ The pacing: at times, the pacing for this book was fast, like I couldn’t set it down or turn the pages fast enough for my own liking…that fast. But then about the midway point the pacing went from blazing to ice cold. I’m not sure what happened, but it was like all of a sudden it was almost – dare I say it – boring *cringes* I’m not sure what to think about it. Then probably the last 50 pages the pace picked back up.
➣ The love interest or interests? I’m not sure. I didn’t really follow well what was going on. It felt like the author was possibly setting up a reverse harem type situation for our Caro and I’m not so sure that follows with her character. Maybe it’s just me, but Caro doesn’t seem like the type to be into more than one and she sure doesn’t like to share so….I’m just confused. The main love interest was a hate-to-love type thing and while it worked in the beginning of the book, it got real old REAL quick.
➣ Plot? Ummmm….y’all I can’t even tell you what this book is about because I don’t know myself. While I love Caro, her story so far has lacked direction. I’m not really sure what’s going on, what she is trying to accomplish, or why she is doing what she is doing. I’m lost. I noticed this in the last book and had hoped that this one would begin tying some threads together. So far no such luck.

Overall Chosen One was just an okay read for me. I’m interested enough in Caro to continue reading the series but I’m also disappointed that I’m still so lost in her story. I wanted….no NEEDED her story to begin making sense by now. Despite this I will continue to read and follow the author as I do love her storytelling ability. I have confidence that in Caro’s last book (which I believe the next one is) all these loose ends and directionless plot will make sense because Dawn is that good! If you enjoy the series, you don’t want to miss this next installment! If you haven’t read the series, than I highly suggest you begin with the first book and set some time aside to binge.

I have been waiting with bated breath for this final installment in Caro's story (you will need to have read Chosen Thief and Chosen Fool for this installment to make any sense).

Chosen One continues right where Fool ended, and it is one bumpy ride from that time on!

I liked Caro back in the past, chumming it up with the Prodigies (soon to be kings) and Elders from earlier books in the series. Oh my goodness was it great to see them. And their present day reactions to first meeting her make a lot of sense now.

Caro has been kind of in limbo in this series with who will be her love interest. You'll like it when you find out who they are - or are they really the one for her?

I won't lie though, I did have some issues with this story. I found it floundering about 3/4 of the way through, and felt it needed a push to get it back going again. I did end up skimming/skipping a lot from there one, as it felt like it was just spinning its wheels and going nowhere. I felt myself disconnecting from the story and just wanting to get to the end - this could just be me though.

Don't get me wrong, the story is good, I just felt that maybe it wasn't really the end, the closure of Caro's story like it could have been, if you get my drift.

Whilst this installment did fall a little flat to me compared to the previous books in this series, I know that there is so much more for Ms Dawn to give us.

Can't wait to see what she brings us next.

I had to read this book over 3 times before I could put it down long enough to write this review. It was so good! I feel like with each book in the series I find all these hidden things from previous books and it makes each re-read that much better. The characters are all so relatable and realistic that they start to feel like real friends. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

It’s all about Caro, her past, her present and what a difference forty years can make. Can you imagine being sent back in time, having those memories as if they just happened yesterday and then being thrust back to the future (or present), your emotions still raw, and your memories still fresh while everyone else has moved on?

Get ready to witness love, hate, passions on fire, revelations, compromises, and secrets revealed. This time out, Scarlett Dawn gives us character interaction, character reaction and, oh, the conflict as Caro steps up the plate and shows her chops, gains allies, crosses lines and has some people practically eating right out of her hands.

Yeah, yeah, we were left hanging by a thread previously, but Scarlett Dawn more than made up for it with her inside scoop on some deep, deep Spirit Elemental secrets. Elders and Kings will vie to stand by Caro’s side for a chance to follow her into her world. Learn WHAT the CHOSEN ONE is and pay close attention, because like Caro, there is more to this than meets the eye!

Let’s see, attitude, charm, snark, humor, confusion, and heat all tangled up in Scarlett Dawn’s special blend of awesome that shows up on each and every page, each and every character and each and every interaction that can sometimes be over-the-top! Through it all, emerging like a star, is Caro, bigger, bolder, wiser and ready to be all that she was meant to be…and yes, there are new questions to ponder until next time! It felt good to slow down the action and turn up the info, especially on some eyebrow-raising events!

After waiting what seemed like a lifetime I finally got my hands on Chosen One!
I can honestly say it was certainly worth the wait. After being taunted and teased by Scarlett Dawn over Caro's relationships and life, it was nice to be able to see what's in stall for her and compare my theories with what actually takes place in the book.

Thank you very much to the Escape Publishing and NetGalley for letting me get an ARC of Chosen One exchange for an honest review. #ChosenOne #NetGalley

I have been waiting for this book for a very long time. I was reading the previous books again and again, I was repeating the scenes in my head over and over and then, I was so lucky to read Chosen One... And I am speechless... Everytime I think that this series cannot go better, it goes better and better! This story absolutely was a master piece!

We continue from where we left off in Chosen Fool. Caro wakes up from his *steamy* night and finds herself in a bed with a *very* familiar face (wink, wink). We finally see what really had happened in 40 year ago. And when Caro goes back to her time, emotions are everywhere! The chemistry between the characters are so captivating. I just love the way how Scarlett writes romance in her stories. She writes the best kind of romance: passionate, heartbreaking, breathtaking and natural.

We learn more about spirit elementals and lots of questions are answered whereas the new ones are born. The thing that I found fascinating about this book (other that Elder Merrick LOL) was Caro's character development. We can witness how she gets stronger both physically and emotionally. Well done Scarlett, well done!

This book was stormy. This book was emotional. This book was funny. This book was... good. You will love this book. Even though you don't, I can guarantee you that you will love to hate this book (wink, wink)!

Point of View: First Person, Female
Plot: ☆☆☆☆☆
Writing: ☆☆☆☆☆
Romance: ☆☆☆☆☆
Characters: ☆☆☆☆☆

This book will feed the hunger of all Forever Evermore fans and will answer the cliffhanger from the last book. You will not be disappointed, or in my case I was not disappointed on how Scarlett Dawn spun the life of Caro from unwanted to the most wanted (but in a very good and sexy way). You will experience a lot of "Aha!" moments that had puzzled you from Chosen Fool. And for once in your Com life you will thank Philip Masterson for his last devious deed because it led to funny, heart warming and of course life changing moments in Caro's and Cain's life. Who's Cain? You better read it to find out.
Scarlett did not disappoint in this book. Read it and love it, just like I did.

I received this ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. 
I'm a long standing fan of this author and it was incredible to read in advance Chosen One, because we were waiting for it for a long time. I literally devoured it!
What can I say... Caro has an interesting love life. This side of her has never appealed to me. With this book, I finally understood the profound hate Scarlett Dawn has for destined mates... and soul mates in general... yes Caro found hers in this book, but it's not a happy ending. Keep reading!!!
Here we also understood the previous and current titles of this series... I was under the impression it was a trilogy, so I was a bit put off by the cliffhanger, in particular a it was a romantic/emotional one, but no, there's another Caro - book in the future for us. Love the Leric-Cain-Sin love triangle... uhm... love square...
4.5 stars
PS OMG too many characters... too many elders to remember..

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for an honest review.

OMG. This book. It’s captivating. Amazing. Perfect continuation of Caro’s story. I absolutely adore her! She’s a character you don’t want to cross.

I think it’s funny some of these men think they can cross her. She might be young in comparison to others but she’s dang smart.

Gah. I read this book in less than 6 hours total. It’s long but freakin amazing. I just can’t tell you that enough. Love love love this series and Scarlett Dawn has created this paranormal world so well.

If you’ve not started the Forever Evermore series yet. You should get started.

Now when does the next one come out?!?

If you like Paranormal Romance with a fast pace, a well built world, wonderfully fleshed out characters and a good dose of steamy sex scenes then I promise Chosen One will not disappoint!
The third installment of Caro's story in the Forever More series starts right where the last book left off and takes you on a trip that you probably won't expect. As always in a Scarlett Dawn book there are times when you laugh, a few tears to be shed, and for me at least, a point where you want to give her a good shake and yell "Why?!"
All in all I would say I thoroughly enjoyed this book. My only negative critique would be that I would have liked a few more questions answered, but it could easily be that those will all be solved in the last book so I'm not holding that against my review.
(This book contains lots of naughty sex scenes and a cliffhanger ending)

#ChosenOne #NetGalley

As you can see, I am a huge fan of this series. It’s a go-to read for me when I just need a really incredible series to dig deep and stay there for a while…Forever Evermore hits that for me. Needless to say, I was a little excited when I was granted an ARC. I stayed up most of the night engrossed in the newest edition, CHOSEN ONE. Yes, it is just that good!

The story starts back up right where it left off with Caro noticing the eye color of her not so anonymous bed partner…and oh, boy does it roll from there.

CHOSEN ONE was everything I dreamed of and more but nothing like I expected! Take all your theories and pack them in the circular filing cabinet, because Dawn is going to blow you away. You'd think after re-reading this series more times than I counted, I would have figured out a thing or two...but nooooo, and still thrilled with the results.

I can say this without giving away too much: a few characters that I loved showed their darker sides; I want more Tristan; what an ending; when the heck is #7 hitting the shelves! Okay, even with a lot of information granted to us about the elusive Spirit Elementals in this book, there is still A LOT we need to know. Book #7 can't come fast enough!

Once again, Dawn made these characters jump off the pages and knocked us around a bit with some amazing emotional turmoil. There are lots of humor, happy, and witty antics that are perfectly accented with the heartbreaking and then it is highlighted with an entire realm of all the fuzzy emotions in between.

I completely LOVED IT! Totally worth a sleepless night binge reading!

Posted pre-read 10/30/17
YES! YES! YES! I got IT!


I'm currently UNAVAILABLE, I'm Reading Chosen One RIGHT NOW!!! Then I'll be re-reading the entire series AGAIN! OMG, It's like Christmas and my birthday and Halloween all wrapped up in an ARC.

I love that scarleet keeps you guessing on what will happen next. You think that you have it figured out ans then you are sideswiped by a plot twist that you wouldnt have guessed. I love that this book in my mind is a trilogy within a trilogy. We get to continue to see how caracters progress even though they are not the leading caracters anymore. But you see how they have grown and how they interact with caro and make her the person she is and how they have influenced her. I cannot wait fir the next book and hopefully find out what and who caro ends up with and a sneak preview into our next leading lady

Another fabulous sequel to my favorite series...I couldn't put it down until I read it all through in one night! Caro's adventures with Sin, the Royals, and the Elders amaze and constantly pull at the heart strings. Her relationships with them all continue to evolve and grow, and I especially loved getting to learn more about Cain and how their relationship is maturing as they work through their personal issues.
