Ruby you did it again. This book had me hooked! Our MMC is such a wonderful cinnamon roll and our FMC is strong willed but real enough to trust others. I really love their relationship, sure there were ups and downs but that is what makes it more real. This is for sure a book I’d recommend a friend.

Another very good book by Ruby Dixon.
That said - I’d say the last 3rd fell a little short? It was still 4/5 stars don’t get my wrong. But the end lost a lot of the chemistry of the characters and got convoluted.

This is a book that follows Candromeda and Nemeth as they are from two separate feuding blood lines that are forced to reside in a castle for seven years to appease the gods. With tropes of enemies to lovers and close proximity, this book is an interesting read if you like both. There's also 'monster' love (male character is not human) and knotting which wasn't something I was personally expecting.
The writing style made the book interesting to read, but I feel like the author couldn't decide between more 'medieval' language versus modern day. It wasn't a deal breaker, but sometimes it just felt like it didn't fit. The book felt long, which I guess was okay since I believe it will be a standalone, but I feel like it could have been plotted/paced a little better with more interesting time skips. There were a few interesting twists in the book which kept me wanting to read more.
This was my first book written by Ruby Dixon, and it made me interested to read more of her works.
