My favorite book :) I loved the relationship between the main characters, and it's a slowburn kinda deal. Has sexual content in abundance, but I personally believe it's rushed each time (unless important to the story) and is added on a whim.

2.0

Porn without plot.
Every plot point was quite predictable & this also early on.
Finished this in the hope to get one or more glimpses on my favourite characters but only got sex.
Two stars because there have been two characters I had been interested in.

4.0

TLDR: a book about a human princess betrothed to a powerful and feared vampire king and she must choose between her people or her new husband. There's definitely an enemies to lovers trope. 

I'll start off by saying that I have read the Hades saga from Scarlett St. Clair and I actually liked the Adrian x Isolde storyline a little better. The story is told from Isolde's perspective which, I thought was done well but there could have been a little more character development throughout the book. Their is a lot of spiciness, for some it's a lot, to me I think it's fine (it is a romance book so spiciness is expected). I wish Adrian was in more of the scenes but when he did make an appearance, I thought the storyline was a little better. Maybe we'll get a book from Adrian's perspective like the Hades saga but who knows. The ending was okay, I think it was building up to it. Will probably read the next book in the series.
