Oh.My.Goodness. This book 😍! 

Book dragons, I knew I would probably enjoy Lunaria by Kara Douglas after reading the list of tropes and the blurb. What I wasn’t prepared for was to devour this book in less than 2 days! I don’t think my kindle left my hands as long as I was awake, which is basically the highest praise I can give 😂.

I had such a fun time following FMC, Amira Ramsey, as she traded life as the only woman in a soldier’s war camp, for the opulent castle and The Matching (basically the marriage market for eligible nobility). Although Amira has no intention of marrying and is really just using the opportunity to escape her awful father, she finds  that life at the castle is different than she expected.

Trust me when one say that I could not stop turning pages! From masked balls, to couples games, to surprise proposals, to political intrigue, to midnight runs through the castle gardens, to missing best friends, a terrible father, and two men vying for her attention (ok, one was being more subtle about it, but you get my point 😎), this book was utterly unputdownable. If you enjoy romantic fantasy, please do yourself a favor and read Lunaira. 📖

If you’re the type of reader who doesn’t like to wait for the next book, fear not! Book 2 in the series, Illuminance, is due to be published on March 21, 2024! I know I’ll be picking it up ASAP!
