I love how the only reason that she’s there is to heal the kings future wife/wifes in the running, but she ends up doing what she least expected to do. She’s definitely dirty and knows how to get what she wants, but I think my favorite part was the massage scene, that was SO HOT. I need my husband to give me a massage like that now.
The Ash King was just his level of hotness. He had a power he could barely understand and a kingdom that hated him for all the wrong reasons. He needed a queen, but a queen that would calm his storms and his eruptions. Especially when he got to the point of what felt like no return. The things that we fin$ out about his past and childhood were heart wrenching. I couldn’t believe it at all. It made sense why he was such an asshole. I loved his character so much, especially at the end. He became such a wonderful man that I’m sure I would’ve loved if I lived in the kingdom.

I couldn't put this book down; royals, magic, secrets, scandal - yes please! Loved it for the "hunger games for the king's hand in marriage" theme, and the whole
This is the first book in the series that made me want more of this story, these characters; instead of the standalone romances. I loved this romance, the characters and their stories, their powers and growth, I want more. A few times the plot was a little predictable, but still enjoyable.
Medium spice, more than the previous books in the series.
