I came here for the smut, but stayed for the plot. There were several fantasy aspects I‘m pretty sure we read before or heard of, but I really enjoyed how Scarlett put these tropes and plot lines into a new story. I sometimes found Isolde a bit annoying and very rude, although I understand that she needed to be ruthless at times to show her power as Queen, that she could survive.
I like Adrian very much. He was sweet, possessive, cunning and very sexy at the time time. I did not enjoy how he and Isolde came together in the beginning, but the sexy times improved each time.
Can’t wait to see how this evolves in the second book!
