Terrific short story, to call this "fantasy" is very accurate. That carriage scene made me laugh OUT LOUD. I could see it coming but it was very well done. Especially what Bane recounted as they arrived at their destination- hilarious.
As always with a short story, a few things get blurry (like the encounter with King Harmon) but I skip by to the next parts. Great couple, amazing hero in Bane and fun dialogue. All kinds of murdery goodness :)

These are always fun, quick reads. I always wish these were longer, but a cute story.

Super campy fun. Insta-love with some classic misunderstandings

Okay totally in love with this book! I just saw this by chance on one thread of recommendations, and I did not even know the blurb of the story and just dived in blind. but mannn, this has the right amount of villainy twists, dark romance and fantasy. And the CARRIAGE ride will live in my mind rent free. ♥
------------- fave quotes:
But while sleeping in his arms, nothing felt false. Perhaps because she felt safe. And she was more than content.
Echo had always wondered what happiness felt like.
Apparently, it felt like this
----------------
One day you will love me.”
Her chest tightened. “Do not ask me to.”
“It would do me no good if I did. A heart cannot be demanded or stolen or forced—love and trust must be given. So when I say that one day you will, I only speak my hope.”
--------------------
“My heart has been hovering somewhere near the stars since I first made you mine.”

A Quick and Sexy Read!
This was honestly a delightful novella. It was so spicy with a good amount of action and character development. I absolutely LOVE Bane and Echo as a couple.
This is my first read of Kati Wilde’s work, so I’m gonna check out some of her other stuff!
