When I was a baby romance reader, I discovered the Horde Kings series by Zoey Draven and literally lost two weeks of my life in them. To this day, I think about them. But I havenโ€™t pushed myself to read more - almost because I know sheโ€™s going to suck me in again. Welllllpppppโ€ฆ here I am again.

When she receives a mysterious offer for marriage that would pay off all they owe, she takes it. Then she meets Azur, her new husband who plans to ruin her father and everything he holds dear.

๐ŸŒŸ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„: Lord, I forgot how incredible Zoey Dravenโ€™s writing is. Sheโ€™s impeccable, and this first book pulled me right back in.

I could get lost in Sci-Fi alien romances. And Zoey Draven makes them easy to read. The world building is right alongside the plot, so it never feels burdensome. This little world with fated blood mates and alien berserkers was FUN and beyond swoony.

But itโ€™s the characters and the romance that make this a five-star rating for me. Azur was hard not to love. He was vengeful and cocky and then he fell SO HARD for Gemma. And Gemma was independent and smart, it was so easy to root for her.

I am very easily slipping into Book 2, and I canโ€™t wait to see how I like it.
