Spice Rating: (3/5 peppers)

Summary: Celestina is a Queen’s Lady in a kingdom with a magical queen, vampires, and dragons that have mysteriously appeared. Due to a surprising turn of events, Celestina’s status quickly turns from lady to slave as she becomes the property of the Beast of Fein. She then embarks on a journey to a foreign land filled with romance, friendship, and lots of magic.

What I loved:
-spicy romance scenes
-sharing background in a creative way
-magical creatures
-the epilogue (once you read it, you’ll understand!)
-Mary and her spoon
-FMC nickname

What I didn’t love:
-some of the characters, including the FMC seemed a bit naive for their aged
-I was confused about where the story was headed most of the time, but it did come together in the end which made a lot more scenes
-”instant” love connects between the FMC and MMC

Favorite quotes: <Spoiler>
-”You’re more than welcome to do anything you want to my bones whenever you wish”
-”No, Sky Girl. I want to keep you close because I think you and I might fit.”
-”Celestina, I need you more than I need air to breathe.”
-”If I wanted a different outcome, I was going to have to be a different person. I was going to have to become a person who forged her own future.”
-”You are a warrior in a siren’s body”
-”I won’t let anyone harm you. Even if I have to take on an entire kingdom, I’ll protect you.” <Spoiler>
