I was chosen to read this as an ARC and this is my honest review.
"He’s searched the entire realm for the ultimate treasure… her.
Varya lives in the shadows. As a tomb raider, it’s easier that way. Known for obtaining the unobtainable, she risks life and limb to provide for her small desert town: a magical chalice with never ending water, an amulet that heals, a map that shows where all the other magical objects are."
This is Greed's book and we are met with Varya. Varya is a little firecracker and someone that cares deeply about her home and it's people. She relates to the trauma they face. She has an adventurous spirit within her (no, not like our boys do) and it so gives me Tomb Raider Lara Croft vibes. And I am HERE FOR IT.
We are already familiar with the world setting since this is book 2 of the Seven Deadly Demons - if you aren't go read Lust's story! You won't regret it. It was very easy to jump back into the kingdoms and the setting for Greed's was better than I was expecting. I literally started this in the morning and I just couldn't put it down. I can't believe I read this in one day. But that's how captivating it was.
I would have to say so far Greed's story is my favorite so far. The adventure, the spice (sizzling), stubbornness, and the banter between the two main characters...And I can't skip over the fact that Greed is a sexy thang AND IS A GINGER. YUM. You don't see too many male love interests that have red hair these days.
So if you love subjects on the Seven Deadly Sins, mythology, settings where it's a desert adventure, and love spice, this is the book for you. I anticipate the next book which I'm guessing is going to be Gluttony, whom is introduced to us in this book. And his character doesn't disappoint ;)
Thank you, Emma Hamm, for choosing me to be one of your ARC readers! I was definitely surprised and it made my day when I received the email <3

Just as good as the first.
This was really nice. I really enjoy how Emma Hamm writes romance. I feel like her characters fall in love. That is to say, there is intention to it. They aren’t stumbling or teleporting into love. We watch them learn to love one another and struggle with the implications of it, but they don’t hide or miscommunicate like so many other stories.
This book is about Greed and the thief who saved him from the vile criminals who want to take his throne.
Simple enough concept, but very well executed. This feels like a proper romance. I had a good time.
4/5 stars

This book was absolutely amazing, I loved every minute of it and am so grateful to Emma to have been given an early copy of Greeds book. It was lovely and the spice was phenomenal. Greed is up there with one of my fav characters, he's just everything you want in a MMC. Varya was great with how she didn't put up with anything that didn't make her happy and she didn't taking any nonsense from anyone, she's a strong woman and her and Greeds relationship was so great. The ending was amazing and the whole book really kept my attention. It was amazing, highly recommend reading!

Too slow paced and didn’t keep my interest. The conflict within the characters throughout the book got tedious to read about. Maybe when I’m in a different mood I will come back to it and be able to enjoy it but I just need something different at the moment
