She has other romance genre novels, but fantasy writing is where she truly shines.
A SHORT PREVIEW: When Aster and Rorn fell in love, they never dreamed that life ruling a kingdom would be the thing that tears them apart. Ruling isn't everything when money can't buy you the few things you desperately crave. Betraying each other, Aster flees the country and falls in love with another but leaves him in an attempt to spare him from her husband's wrath. The wolf she leaves behind? He's not as keen on the idea, though.
Thoughts: Overall, this story makes no bones about the consequences of infidelity and failed marriages. It's got such serious topics spilling across the pages, that much of it doesn't feel like a light fantasy romance? Tbh - I think this is why I loved it so much. Her writing feels like real emotions and can tug real feelings from you. - I read this in exactly 9 hours because it was so good I basically flew through all the pages!! - Another thing I loved about this book is that it so clearly shows the dangers of getting too wrapped up in your partner. Leaving behind friends, your interests etc.. healthy love shouldn't make you lose yourself.
FAVORITE QUOTE: "Rorn would never hurt me - not physically. Nor would he allow anyone else to. I once thought that made him nothing short of magical. Then I learned there were numerous ways to bleed.' - When you recognize that a character's disillusionment in what it means to be in love has shattered ... that's when the good stuff comes in.
NOTES: - fated mates (complete with the alpha-hole shifter type) - world building -- super fun because this builds off of The Savage & The Swan, which I also loved!! - Very much an adult romance, and I added it to my 'mature women's romance' bookshelf here because the main character is in her 30's.
TWs: infertility, cheating, children outside of the marriage etc. (This one def got me to cry a little! I didn't know cheating would be involved in the wayyy it was written so I wasn't expecting it.)...more
