The gods don't like it when you disobey the rules. Mirek learns the hard way that impatience only leads to more discontent. Since nothing in life is fair, it is Riona who loses a year to teach Mirek the value of patience. I'd be livid!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Never really did warm up to the couple, but I really do appreciate the way Pillow integrates the other couples' stories into the current story. I think that's the only reason why I keep reading this series - it's nice to know what the others are getting up to.

Touching and brilliant

I absolutely loved this "finish" to the series. I say that as I know that this is a vast universe of books and I fully intend to read each and everyone. Falling for a woman who then lays in a coma for months and when she awakes isn't exactly what you bargained for, takes a special love. This is such a lovely book about how trauma and loss changes people and how love can help them heal.

Riona comes with the other brides but gets one of the workers to let her get off the ship through a employee door so she can duck out of the bridal parade. This is one bride who has no intention of getting hitched!!!

Mirek is sad at the thought of another year with no bride. When Riona sees a groom make off with her sister she chases after them. Mirek bumps into her whilst in his shifted form and she doesn't really flinch and his cyrstal glows. She is his!! He gets her to accept his tent for the night and they will sort things out in the morning. Little does she know what he has every intention of claiming her as his wife.

In the morning after smashing Mireks crystal she heads to where she last saw her sister and putting her face in the "yellow" sleeping flowers and has an allergic reaction for several months. On waking she thinks her pirate buddy has caught upto her and wants the money she owes. She finds that she's married to Mirek, who has been caring for her all this time. She agrees to stay there until she can make money to leave and he offers to make her his assistant to help her pay her way. Whilst also trying to find ways to make her accept him as her husband.

A brilliant conclusion to this 4 book story arc. We find out why Riona is so reckless and head strong and how alienated she feels amongst this close family unit of shifters and their wives.

I really liked it. Riona was strong and self-reliant. Mirek was also strong, but sweet and patient (after the initial rush to the alter). I'd love to read the other books in the series, but I just can't convince myself to pay $6 for and e-book .
