Excuse the pun, but this was definitely a good read! I loved Cora and Noc together! Even better, I loved her parents and best friend. No matter how unbelievable the things she told them was, they took it in stride and had her back. The next two books are going to be EPIC.

Another amazing story, Cora and Tor, so much feeling in this book. Really felt for Cora, she has no way to prove she is telling the truth. Some really funny and truly emotional scenes.
KA gives each person in her books their own distinctive features, Tor speaks very politely, very clever.
Although I love this book at the start he is pretty cruel to her, it's understandable why but she has no way to prove she is being truthful, I really felt for her.
The character of Tor and Cora are married but of course it's not Cora of this world he is with now but he and Cora of his world did not get along at all, due to her actions so he had sex with other women.
Our Cora becomes aware of this and although she is technically not his wife, it is hurtful as things are brought up at times.
There is a very painful scene which is extremely hurtful to Cora.
No intimate scenes with anyone other than the Hero and heroine.
I think this is the only book where the Hero gets to see 'our world' which is imteresting.
HEA.
Although the enemy plotline continues through the series.

Re-read this (05/19/2021)
I must say, I have never forgotten the main plot of this book, but re-reading it sure helped with understanding Prince Tor more. I am not cursing him anymore or anything like that. ;)
I still love just how good Cora is.
Truly, this one is fantastical. :)

This one was just okay...A 3.5, I guess.
I guess princes just lost their appeal on me because of how rugged the first two heroes appeared to be.
Princes can be true assholes, you know? In this novel, Prince Tor was such an ass to the nice Cora that I wanted to slam his head onto the pavement. Gods, how cold hearted can a guy be. I know that the medieval Cora was a bitch, but still... the modern Cora didn't deserve being treated like that. She was very nice and very understanding of his world. And how did he repay her? Uuuuggghhhh He lost most of his charm to me when Cora overheard them talking. Even when Cora forgave him and all that, I can't seem to shake off the bad taste that it left.
Anyway, it still held lots of things that I want from a KA book. It just didn't work out as well as I wanted it.

There was a lot of extra in this book that was unneeded. Descriptions, unnecessary dialogue, scenes, etc. I was also disappointed in the lack of action and the ending. I did enjoy the main characters more than those in The Golden Dynasty. I connected a bit more with Cora and Tor.
This book was enjoyable. Nothing too special about it for me and I don't know if I will read it again but it was a nice addition and enjoyable few hours. I will admit I did cry.
I found Tor, although the definition of an Alpha male, quite one layered and didnt seem to have much character development unlike some of the other male characters KA creates.

Mini-Review:
A cute story. I liked how he was always in love with her even when it was the wrong Cora. I'm curious to see the underlying thread that is suppose to tie all of the stories together. I wonder if it will be concluded by the last book?
