Its fantasy meets dark romance. What more could you want!? I love the power dynamic they have and all the banter between the main female character and all the other characters. The switching pov was so interesting and definitely strengthened my love for this book. The inner conflict and the back and forth definitely made it frustrating however juicy details came fast and it kept my interest enough to read it in one day. The different mythical characters and varying degrees to magic was extremely interesting. Cant wait to start #2

Gina Maxwell has won me over as a fan. I picked up her other book "The Rebel King" just as a grab at the library.... so I read this book second, but the great thing is...they can be read as a standalone, and still fall absolutely in love! I immediately was hooked on the passion Caiden & Bryn share. These books also have very sexy adult scenes without feeling like I'm losing the plot. This is a real love story, steamy passionate, and fairytale like, but real flaws in characters that are learning to love themselves, as well as their true mate! You MUST READ!!!! I'm definitely adding this Gem to my physical library!

OMG such a fun reread. The spice, the DS...HOT. Love the lore and can't wait to read book 2 later this month when it releases. I really need to find out more about Tiernan and Fiona!

Wanting a break from reality Bryn jumps at the chance of a free weekend getaway to Vegas. What better way to relax and unwind before getting back to reality and hunting for a new job? Little does Bryn know this weekend getaway is about to turn into something so much more than she bargained for.
Caiden, the King of the Dark Fae, has a lot on his plate but when he makes eye contact, across a crowded hotel lobby, with Bryn he’s determined to learn more about her. What starts out as a few drinks and a great conversation turns into… waking up married?! With fuzzy memories of the night before Caiden is determined to put some distance between them…no matter how much he craves more of Bryn’s time and attention.
Bryn is all sunshine while Caiden is a grumpy alphahole. I absolutely loved watching Caiden try to deny his growing attraction to Bryn. Everyone, except Caiden, can see just how much he wants and needs her. There’s just something so gratifying about reading a grumpy alphahole brought to his knees by his growing affection for his partner. Then we have Bryn blossoming as she learns more about herself and her desires as Caiden awakens a passion in her she’s never experienced before.
This book gives us a steamy Fae novel with the grumpy/sunshine trope, waking up married in Vegas, trying to fight a mating bond, and so much more. I had so much fun reading this book and cannot wait to see what else this series has to give us!
