Captive of the Horde King by Zoey Draven
4.0
So good! The quality of the writing is really what gets me, the author just does a very good job of creating an atmosphere for the story that it sucks you right in.
Pretty normal sci-fi tropes going on, seemingly barbaric alien takes a human woman for a bride… and it turns out his people are actually great and he’s a kind and good natured king and they fall in love. I appreciated how much of a fight Luna put up as well, especially that she seemed to fight for quite a while before conceding to her husband. Their dynamic is not one of my favorites, the way they “hate” each other and that just turns them on, but it works for this story very well.
Mostly I liked seeing her find her way in this new life and find herself in the process, the romance was more of a side show in comparison. The spicy scenes were good, not great.
