What a treat!
This story was wonderful. It was exactly the quick bit of sweetness I was looking for.
Loved the bit of history attached to the tale.

Book #1 for Olympic Games Readathon, Team Apollo. Book that starts with A.
I loved this so much!
Interracial romance in medieval times. HERE. FOR. IT. I loved Agnes and MacAllister. Agnes is considered an "exotic" for being a dark skinned woman in King James' court, and she meets a Highland clansman leader Gareth as an emissary, and sparks fly. Months later he comes to win a tournament for her kiss as a favor. It was super swoony and adorable.
I just wanted more of it. It was only 40 pages, which was still a full story. But I wanted more from them, and seeing more about how their interracial romance would affect that time period. I was super into it, and just wanted more.

Too short and too sudden. But that's on me, I should remember to filter out these short romances.

Really well done story. Nice tie with actually history. Too short. Wish it were a full length.
