My fate is bonded to two princes– one born of blood, the other of powerβ€” but my trust lies in neither.
My skin is cursed by the stars, my fate damned by desire.
But when the dark prince offers me a bargain that will save his people and my life, the cruel and intoxicating male gives me no choice.
Our union is his revenge, and I am his sacrifice.
His lies are unforgivable. His wicked touch still bathes me in sin.
He is my mate, and he is tortured by a curse to protect his people from his own family.
I could now see him for exactly who he was. So why can’t I get his alluring touch out of my head?
I am the key to saving his kingdom, but he alone has the power to ruin me.

As much as I like Adara and Evren, I did to feel like this installment moved the storyline arc along until the very end. The progression of their relationship is important, but it felt like we spent more time with Evren β€œeating” than understanding what it meant for Adara being in the Blood kingdom. Despite this, I’ve pre-ordered book 3.

The following two tabs change content below.
I am a lover of alpha males with dirty mouths, strong heroines putting alpha males in their place, and the Chicago Blackhawks. I'm a proud hockey mom who can often be found at the hockey rink cheering on my favorite forward, with my kindle close by.
