izziede 's review for:

Broken by the Horde King by Zoey Draven
3.0

It's okay.
They know each other as children/teenagers, the heroine is a few years younger.
She thinks she's in love with him from a young age but he rejects her publicly.

During the separation, 10 years I think.
He gets to have loads of sex with various females while she remains a virgin.
She does kiss someone else but once he tries to take it further she flees.
She finds out later that he warned most of the men off when he was there, partly as she was a bit of a fascination due to her being human.
But he hasn't kissed anyone since her.
No intimate scenes other than the Hero and heroine.
There is a lot of sex.
Small other woman drama, a member of the horde plus mention of a few escapades though not detailed.
And before he leaves he kisses her sister, intending on more but is disturbed.
The Hero pushed her away as he was destined for leadership and wasn't sure he could fulfill that if he revealed how he really felt and got involved with her when they were younger.
It sort of works better than other explanations of this troupe due to their culture.

Something that did irritate me was the Hero's comment that he admitted that each time he was with another woman during the separation after he felt unfaithful.
He also claimed he thought of her all the time which is inconsistent with hooking up with other women.
HEA.
Enemy plot thread has been through the series remains unresolved but progressed.

ARC.
