The Hob's Bargain by Patricia Briggs

jwells's review

Good as a fantasy, slightly queasy considered as a romance. Luckily it's VERY slow burn, and very clean/sweet. I'm not crazy about the element of

the girl being forced to marry the monster as a sacrifice, to save her village.

  We are supposed to be okay with it because

she conveniently falls in love with him.

  It all feels a bit dated to me. 

I have a rule not to read romance novels written before 2000. Maybe I should extend it to include anything with a romance subplot, and update it to exclude anything written before 2010. Ugh.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Death

Death of loved ones, including a first husband. A coerced second marriage, to a nonhuman, which the protagonist warms up to rather quickly.
