4.5 star review... This book not being a 5 star review is my fault, not the author's. This is actually the 3rd installment of the series. I have not read the first two installments (which I will be rectifying that!) so there's some back story that I didn't have... but it did not stop me from enjoying the book.

Rhys is a modern day gifted artist. Faedrah is a princess of an ancient time. Faedrah's kingdom is in true danger... from Ryhs's dad, Leo. He means to save her and help her save her kingdom. From the moment they arrived in her world, Rhys has had a hard time to say the least. It did not help that the first time he meets her parents he's wearing nothing but a bed sheet!

It's a quick read and it keeps you enthralled to every bit of her world and how does he fit in it. I loved that the author made Faedrah a strong female character and not someone that always needs saving. This book was great!

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Thank you to HarperImpulse for my copy of this book via Netgalley. I read parts 1 and 2 of this series in 2015 but I have only just managed to read part 3. As it has been such a long time I probably should have re-read them as I was struggling to remember what happened in the other 2 books.

In this book, I really felt for Faedrah and Rhys. Faedrah cannot sleep without terrible nightmares. The poor girl goes days without sleep because every time she closes her eyes she is tortured. If I do not get enough sleep I am a real grump so I can only imagine how Faedrah felt. Especially when everyone was ignoring her.

Rhys also had to endure Faedrah's nightmares through their connection but not only that he was locked in a cell through the whole thing. He couldn't even help her! I fell in love with Rhys all over again in this book. He is defiant in his mission to protect her.

This was a great addition to the series and I will definitely be finishing the final book before the end of the year.
