Bound to the Shadow Prince by Ruby Dixon

3.5

I was absolutely obsessed with this book in the first half. I literally couldn't put it down. I was avoiding work and responsibilities because all I could think about was this book. The tension and yearning between Candra and Nemeth was *chef's kiss* However, I think the pacing gets off around 40% - 50% of the way through the book. I would have enjoyed this better as two separate books because the two halves do feel really different.

I also personally do not like the accidental pregnancy trope, and I feel like when Nemeth and Candra got married, the tension was gone and I didn't really care about the story as much.

Overall, a very well-done smutty book, but a little too long for my liking. The second half did not grip me as much as the first half did.
