The Frost and the Flame brings fun twists to the grumpy fae trope by weaving the regency romance of Pride and Prejudice throughout.

The only downside (for me) was that I hadn't read the first two books in the series, and while it's said to be a standalone, I think I would have followed both the storyline and the character's growth far more easily if I had taken the time to read the first two books. So learn from my mistake, and start with The Wraith and the Rose, which is a Scarlet Pimpernel retelling.
