A review by bookitallaway
Wedded to the Wanton Witch by S.L. Prater
5.0
I LOVED this book. It was so much fun. I was worried at first that I wouldn't like it, but then around Chapter 3, the characters started sending each other letters for correspondence and I was hooked from there. I definitely got Pride and Prejudice-esque vibes from this book, which is a good thing! I do wish the book was longer so we had more time to see the MFC skill evolve and I'd have loved to see more of the MMC trickster ways. This can be read as a stand alone BUT I definitely would recommend on reading the rest. We are in the trickster world, and Jonas needs to aquire a Lord's title so he puts out the word he's looking for a wife. Along comes Lady Frances and they both agree to keep the marriage arrangement as purely a business arrangement. They both have reasons for doubt but they will have to work together to overcome their pasts if they want a chance at a better future. There is talk of mated bonds and such, but even behind the main characters development, the background story is absolutely what sells this book.
There was a character in the book that made me want to reach in and strangle them, or at least see that person get their comeuppance! I really enjoyed how it played on standing up for yourself and to hell what people think. The dynamics and love, platonic and physical, between all of the characters is done so well that it doesn't feel forced but rather genuine and caring. I'm a big fan of very dark romance so it's hard sometimes to find a book that isn't just fluff when I want something lighter. This book checks all the boxes… witty banter, fae, fates, mates, humans, angst, etc. I think it was a great soft romance book and I mean that in the most genuinely sincere way possible. This book was truly a joy to read.
It's sort of a 'found family' type situation in a way, I don't want to give too much away. This is a sweet romance fantasy novel, very feel good, not dark at all. Do yourself a favor and read this book, and honestly the others too. You won't be disappointed!
I did get this book as an ARC but me writing this review wasn't a requirement, nor do I get any compensation because of this review.
Spice-3.5/5 (few but good when there, very steamy build)
Plot: 4.5 /5
Character Development: 4.5/5
Overall: 4.5/5
