The Stolen Luck by Shawna Reppert
4.0
CW for slavery and abuse. I was hesitant to give the whole four stars, but the book was too good for just three ;-)
I listened to it in a short time, the narrator did a great job, I was emotionally involved and wanted to know how it would work out. Also I was satisfied with the way consent was treated in this difficult situation with one of the heroes being a captive to the other. I have read another fantasy romance where the heroine was captive to the hero, and I hated that they had sexual interactions while she was not free. This never happens here, both heroes take the subject of captivity very seriously.
I did not wholly like the heroes, both annoyed me from time to time, especially James. Then I had some issue with the use of mortal and immortal. Immortal only seems to mean having a really long life expectancy, as elves are dying throughout the book. I was not as much into the traveling, but I know plenty of people whose catnip that is. For those who are into this for the sex: it takes a long time, and the first time is with the wrong guy! But the longing is nice.
