A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland

3.0

I think this book was confused as it what it was supposed to. Characters had several personality changes throughout the story, the tone of the story shifted at the 60% mark from serious, anxious and heavy to light and humorous, and the main plot of the story got resolved off page.
The cover and the summary would suggest that this is a romance book, but the romance part starts happening in the last third of the book. The romance itself was fine, nothing too spectacular. The fanfic tropes had me rolling my eyes but I guess they served the story.
This book is really hyped but I would suggest to set you expectations lower. I though I was going to read a romance not a counterfeit mystery with villains that turn out to be comic relief.
There is anxiety and panic attack rep.
