It was easy to fall into this one and enjoy the adventure. I had no trouble becoming invested in princess Dawn. She bears the weight of the world on her shoulders, the responsibility to save her people. She must go to Ethereum and take the heart of an Ethereum lord. Bringing it back to Faerie will heal a curse upon her realm and restore their magic. I suspected something was off when her mother instructed her to end the lord without allowing him to speak. Things quickly go awry on her quest and we follow her discovery that things aren’t quite as she’s been taught to believe. The introduction of Zander and her capture was funny and I loved the banter and forced proximity that introduced. 

Though it was predictable at times, I enjoyed the reading experience. It turned out to be a fun and fast-paced fantasy romance! It did feel a bit more instalove than I typically like, even for fated mates, I do wish we’d had more time to explore their connection.

🚪Fans of closed door fantasy romance this one is for you! I hardly ever come across closed door romances anymore.

There will be interconnected books in this series. At the end of the ebook there was a preview for the next book “Faint Hearted” and I’m really interested in that story too! An assassin princess with a heart condition and lots to prove. Sign me up!
