A review by bookish_kristina
The Wolf of Kisimul Castle by Heather McCollum
4.0
This one was actually pretty good, even though the beginning premise was a bit weak.
Full disclosure, my enjoyment of this book was definitely enhanced by the superior narration of Tim Campbell. So far, this is my favourite in this series. The other two were pretty convoluted and silly. The heroes in this are pretty interchangeable; brawny, Scottish, rough men with magical dicks. The heroines haven’t been very impressive and their backstories are always so melodramatic. This heroine was different and I think that’s what made this more enjoyable. Though she did *of course* have an almost rape in her backstory (mandatory for this series), she came from a good family and wasn’t harassed and coerced by terrible circumstances. She was very strong and capable, and though she did get rescued, she also did some rescuing of her own. This one had some pretty good smex scenes too, that were swoony and romantic and not too gross.
This was a short listen but pretty enjoyable.
