I received this ARC for free and am leaving this review willingly.
I ended up enjoying the story after about 58% the way through the book. I had a hard time with certain things being too descriptive. I have a tendency of creating in my head what is described and when there's too many descriptive words used for similar things I have a hard time concentration and getting passed it. For about the first 40% I was thoroughly confused on well almost everything. I think it was mainly because of all of the fantasy terms used for the story and not knowing exactly what they were supposed to be.
However the story did get much better and I had a much easier time time reading once there was more world building for the Fae realm. I definitely want to read more but alas no more yet! I really did enjoy the character building with Titus and Ryanne and that little twist with Titus at the end had me smiling and so happy!
Honestly I believe if I weren't such a picky reader with descriptive situations this could have easily been a 5 star read for me! The only downfall I had was it said it was a slow burn enemies to lovers. The enemies to lovers yes but when I think slow burn I think spice and there was no spice. However I will recommend to those that love fantasy and are looking for something a bit different from the normal fantasy selections out there!

Touch of faete
Wow what an amazing deep adventure.
In this book we follow a girl called Ryanne. She look like an ordinary girl to anyone there but in truth she isn't ordinary at all. She can see other creatures and have visions if she touches people sometimes. She also have an annoying little sidekick called Bricius, now Bricius isn't a human, and no one can see him or hear him apart from Ryanne as he is a pixie.
We also follow Titus, Titus had a dark beast inside him, telling him to kill, craving for murder. Titus is also not fully human either, he is a pirate, from a different realm., he misses the old days back on the sea where he could actually be himself, he hates this human modern world where technology and guns have taken over, he longs for his ship and his sword, but he has to please the beast inside him before it takes over fully. He is an important creature with no soul.
Titus bumps into Ryanne and soon finds out she isn't fully human and she is touched by fae, he could fetch a fair price for her so tried to kidnap her, but things don't go according to plan as he soon finds himself in custody of the fae world. Ryanne has to now choose her destiny and path, to help the fae and discover the pirates weakness or go back to a full human life and never see the fae world again.
This book was amazing, I love the description of everything, so you can see and truly appreciate the world around. I love how tense things were, it was a very good flowing read. I wanted to know more, it kept me reading and wondering. The betrayal, romance, adventure and magic within made this a beautiful read

I received an e-arc from netgalley and my opinions are my own.
Different and interesting. I have never read pirate/fae romance and at first the terms were confusing. It has a slow start and takes a bit into the book for things to be explained but once they are the book takes off! It got so much better with the love interest. Their banter was great. The dual POV created a better experience to understand the full story and the tension that is created between the characters. Has a loveable side character that is fun to read. There is a bit of spice for those who are wondering and overall a great romance story!
