Very conflicted regarding this book. I picked it initially knowing nothing about the author or the story. I enjoyed it and it’s a sweet story. I would have even looked forward to any sequel if it were to happen. But afterwards I became aware of an interview the author had provided on the background/inspiration for the book and it now has left a terrible taste in my mouth.

Wow! Just absolutely loved this book. The writing is beautiful, engaging and made me realise I’m holding my breath, on several occasions. 

Fantasy, Romance, Lore, Battles, Dragons and woman knows how to write a spicy scene.
