The smut? Oh my god.✨A man.✨ Like… finally.

I really liked the two main characters together—they had great tension, the chemistry was palpable (or was it just pure hatred? hard to say), but whatever it was, I was hooked. And that ending?? I’m already eyeing book two.

Now, here’s the thing: this book was basically every other fantasy romance I’ve read. We’ve got:
• the runaway princess with “no magic” (lol okay)
• a rebel camp
• secret identity shenanigans
• mysterious powers that’ll probably show up later in full dramatic glory

So yeah, if you’ve read even one spicy fantasy book, you’ll see everything coming from a mile away. But weirdly? I didn’t mind. It was fast-paced, short, and honestly just fun.

Oh—and if dirty talk makes you uncomfortable, maybe skip this one. But if you’re into that and looking for something tropey and addictive, this totally hits the spot.

Fast-paced but no elements in the story were that memorable compared to other books in this genre.

The Veiled Kingdom by Holly Renee. OMG! Why did I ever wait to read this book.
This book was gripping right from the start. Nyra and Dacre, with their whirlwind of emotions had me on the edge of my seat.
There is something about these two that drew me into their individual stories and I feel like there is so much more to come with them. The banter was hilarious and also captivating. It sent shivers through me.
But can we talk about that ending!!! OMG, OMG, OMG! Talk about a cliffhanger. I cried my eyes out. I NEED more.

This is absolutely a must read and I will now be reading everything else written by Holly Renee while I wait for the next book
