Description

Become what you believe.

Elsa Fredriksen knows there’s a thin line between love and fear. As High Healer, she rights the wrongs committed by those who choose the darkness. But even Asgard’s secret weapon can’t undo every injury—especially when her fate is completely entwined with the god she’s trying to save.

Elsa’s in love with the Norse God of Justice. But Forse’s heart is ruled by fear—fear that the past will repeat itself; fear that opening his heart will compromise his ability to do his job; fear that he’ll hurt the one girl he desperately wants to protect. Again.

When Elsa faces off against the very monster she once swore to protect, her survival depends on a power she isn’t sure she can control. And when Forse’s worst nightmare unfolds in front of him, Elsa has to decide whether it’s more important to hold the realms in perfekt balance . . . or hold onto the guy she can’t imagine existing without.

    I want to thank ST Bende for creating her Realms. I cannot wait to read what is the next book in the series. What an adventure she has taken us on. The action and adventure makes this a book I could not put down. Elsa has a warriors heart but the compassion and goodness that literally shine out with every word you read. I love all of ST Bende's books and this one finally brought home to me one of the many reasons her characters are so real to me, the love and caring they show to one another makes us all wish, hope and dream that we too can surround ourselves with the same. The pureness of heart and spirit are clearly apparent. I wnt ot live in the world created by ST Bende, although there are bad and negative things and people the good and just rightness of it outweigh the bad. I love the twists found in the book, family found in the least expected place. Hope given where you you never believe it could be found. One final thing, the book boyfriends she has created are swoon worthy, the female's in her books are strong yet kind and pretty darn amazing. This book will remain one of my favorites and is already on my read again and again list.

    "I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review." I love this book, this series, and ABSOLUTELY love this author!!! This part of the series features Forse the God of Justice and Elsa a High Healer and God of War's sister. Elsa is such a sweetie, you can't help but love her. Her heart is so good, there's a reason she's a high healer. In fact, she's so great that I was quite frustrated with Forse for being so blind and stubborn by friend-zoning her. Forse, Tyr, and Brynn just do not let her down in this book, and not to mention all the background we learn! I can't wait for book number 4!!!!! One of the things I love is this book contained more action(fighting against the dark forces in the realms) then the others in the Aere Saga and makes you understand why things happened the way they did with Tyr and Elsa's parents and the way they are today!

  • Awesome Book!

    Perfekt Balance, the third book in the awesome Ære series, centers on Elsa and Forse. Each book in the series focuses on one particular couple but the other members of the group are featured throughout. I love that we get to see the characters in each book and learn more about them. These Asgardians are all really awesome! Elsa is Asgard's High Healer and sister to the War God Tyr. She was recently asked to become the Unifier, a role their mother held before she had been killed, but Elsa doesn’t really want the job. As High Healer, Elsa focuses her emotions to help others and tries not to use violence in any way. She is sweet, caring, smart, funny and dedicated to her friends and family. She is also completely and totally in love with Forse. Forse is the God of Justice, a member of their group of Asgardians and a long-time friend of Try and Elsa. He is emotionally guarded, having been burned by an old girlfriend, which makes him fight his feelings for Elsa. He is strong, level-headed, sexy, stubborn and a God. Tyr recruits Elsa, his bodyguard/Valkyrie Brynn and Forse, to help him track down a killer in another realm. Things do not go as smoothly as they had planned and Elsa is captured. Elsa is faced with trying to escape, help her friends out of several tough situations and learn to use her Unifier abilities. This was a great story-line with a right amount of humor, suspense, action and romance. S.T. Bende has written another great book! I cannot wait to read the next one in the series.

    I was given this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I had been waiting for this story since I was first introduced to Elsa and Forse and I have to admit that I was not disappointed in the least! This book grips you from the beginning and doesn’t let you go until the very end and has you cheering the whole way through. If you have not read any of S.T. Bende’s books then I would suggest starting now, because they are amazing and I already can’t wait for the next release 
  • A book full of Justice and Heart!

    I loved this book! Every single book I have read by S.t. Bende amazes me, they keep getting better and better. This book has it all - romance and action. Elsa and Forse are great and I love being able to see the other couples from the series as well! Elsa is such a lovable and nice character - it's so easy to be in her head! I can't wait for the next book!!!
  • Spend some quality time in the dark realms

    Holy ko, this was so much fun! While the action wasn't as all encompassing this time, it was by no means missing. Many of the scenes that were most intense were inside Elsa's mind, or Tyr's, and of course there were many instances where I couldn't guess what Runa would do next but I wasn't even sure I wanted to find out, so horrid was her disturbed soul. Or so I thought... I would have loved to spend more time getting to know Elsa and Forse before this book, but what we do know we learn naturally, it isn't forced upon us in a contrived way, but rather brought about through memories and conversations they share. I really appreciated S.t. Bende's way of allowing us to find out more about the overall Aere story while still engaging us with each couple as we go along. It's got to be completely confusing to keep such a huge story arc straight while also writing individual journeys. I'm convinced Bende's some sort of word ninja, secretly putting together her books while no one is the wiser to her shenanigans. They're so emotionally satisfying, even when I'm left wishing I had more to read, I never regret the time already spent doing so. I'm absolutely ecstatic there will be two more to go, I could spend all year with this crew!

    Elsa is the high healer of Asguard. After the death of her mother she also inherited the title of unifier until her brother Tyers girlfriend can be trained. The problem....she doesn't know the first thing about being a unifier and there is no one around to teach her. Her friend and secret love interest Force- the God of justice is helping her figure things out, but when she's around him, she's thinking about anything but practicing unifying. If only she could break through the walls he has guarding his heart. I like how clean and fun these books are. Even though this book is much darker in nature then the previous two, it still maintains a bit of a humorous side two it. Especially when everyone is communicating with Elsa through Tyre. I love how the characters can go through these traumatic events and still maintain their youthful, playful attitudes. There is plenty of drama, action, comedy, and romance to suit all your reading needs so grab this book up! Make sure you get the first two as well. You don't have to read them first, but you will get to know the other couples if you do.
  • So good!

  • May the Forse be with you!!

    May the Forse be with you!!!!! This is Forse the God of Justice and Elsa's story, as they travel thru the realms on a great adventure, with the God of war and a certain Valkaryie, Brynn in tow. Elsa cracked me up thru out the whole book, she is so in love with Forse and he just isn't having it. Elsa already a healer has become the new Unifier after the death of her mother is really stuggling to learn to do this and doesn't read her mothers journals which explain things until after she is kidnapped by Runa, who also happens to be Forse's exgirlfriend. I highly recommend!!!!!!! Can't wait for the next book!!!!!
