3.0

It was a book and I read it. Almost lost points for smut but it was fairly limited.

When an orphan girl is determined to become warrior legend, but first she has to convince the royal court that she’s worthy… and her escort is a curmudgeonly warrior who doesn’t have time for her sh!t. This audiobook had me up until the early hours of the morning wanting to know what comes next.

This book has all of the ingredients for a solid fantasy romance- interesting magic, overthrowing of patriarchal rules, curmudgeon mentor/love interest, found and true family, and long buried secrets… I found myself cheering for Althea from page 1 and loved to hate Wilder as soon as we met him. No spoilers, but their slow burn is done so well and I can’t wait for more in Vows & Ruin!
