The Secrets of Jane: Forgotten by Charlotte Mallory
4.0
Spice rating: 3
THE SECRETS OF JANE is marketed as Pirates of the Caribbean meets the Witcher, and I definitely see it! Add also a sizzling romance with touch her and d!e vibes, a fast attraction and delicious spicy scenes, and you have yourself one engaging romantasy book!
The protagonist of this book is Jane, a feisty woman with a habit of getting into fist fights. Her past is wrapped up in mistery, and of course it catches up to her! In comes Soren, a mercenary tasked with finding Jane by a council of warlords, and bring her back to them. But what are the secrets of Jane's past? That's what Soren wants to find out, and what Jane wants to protect at all costs.
This fantasy is a treat for those (like me) who love reading books that are more on the dark side. The world-builing is quite dark, and there isn't a character that isn't morally gray to be found! I found that really refreshing. It was interesting to see that even the protagonists are following their own agenda without necessarily trying to be heroes. I also enjoyed both Soren and Jane as individuals, and I loved their banter! Their scenes were HOT, and I cannot fault Jane for being so immediately drawn to our smexy pirate mercenary. I for one love a good fast attraction, and I think the quick spicy payoff serves these characters well, but I might have liked to see some more meaningful events or conversations before Soren decided to keep Jane for himself.
The book ends on a fantastic cliffhanger, and I cannot wait to get some answers in the next book!
Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy for review. Opinions are my own.
