Between the Dragon King and His Wrath by Barbara Russell
4.0
I am extremely appreciative to read an ARC of this novel as I'm always happy to read fantasy romances. This novel had some great things going for it:
- Strong female lead
- Tortured soul (but hot) leading man
- Guy falls first (IMO - this isn't explicitly put in there)
- Fun world building
The plot kept me engaged the entire time and I enjoyed seeing the building romance between Wlad and Annika. Definitely read the trigger warnings as there is off-screen sexual assault and it comes up again and again in the book.
I think I would've liked a bit more world building but I also love that this was a standalone fantasy romance. It seems that most fantasy romance books lately are a series and I get impatient waiting for the next book to come out.
