 For such a short read I really enjoyed this one! It was great to be back in this world and see some familiar characters. I loved the first book in this standalone series but it one was really good as well!

It had family secrets, betrayal, marriage of convince, royalty, a meddling bird and a magic fae curse!

Jules and Nickolas were such great characters in the first book so I was very excited to learn more about them in this one and they really are just such a great paring! The romance was so sweet and I love how Nickolas cared for her and Jules slowly opened up to him.

The secrets and curse were so interesting to read about! Not to mention that climax ending, I feel like it ended in such a perfect way! I loved reading those ending scenes!


I don't want to spoil too much but this one was a really good palette cleanser for me after so many long heavy books so if you’re looking for a sweet, quick, regency-era fantasy read filled with fae, adventure, mystery and a slow burn romance then go and pick this one up!

Thank you to the author and BOMM tours for the eArc. This did not influence my review in any way.
