Will be honest, I did like The Dragon’s Bride more. Still a good book but this one was so fast that I felt like it was very rushed. I liked the couple, the world, I just wish there had been better pacing. Also really loved that this whole book is full of Queer characters. It is highly inclusive, even has a character with Neo-Pronouns! I cannot wait for the third book to see what more happens in this world!

I really liked this one. Thane is still dealing with his grief from the death of his husband a few years ago. He enters this deal with the bargainer demon to benefit his kingdom but he doesn't want to replace Brant nor does he want children. The plan is to step aside and give the kingdom over to his sibling, Embry. Catalina takes the deal with Azazel because she sees the money at the end of seven years as a way to keep people with her regardless of what they feel about her. She figures the money will keep them from leaving. Thane and Catalina are both hurt in different ways. I liked watching them learn that they were more than they presented to the world and that they liked what they found. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Catalina didn't magically change her mind about not wanting to have children.
