I don’t know what made this more of a fantasy romance: that he could see ghosts or that he was a virgin MMC 😆

Maybe big-donged barbarians are born with innate sex god abilities in this world? Let’s go with that.

This book was more fun than my three star rating suggests—we had only one horse, our hero pretended not to speak their language and comically overheard things he shouldn’t, and all the barbarians in this series fall so hard.

It just had a plot point that I’ve realized is (kinda randomly) not a favourite of mine.

When this couple originally met he agreed to marry her just so he could bed her, break a curse with his peen (yeah, you read that right 😆), and then leave her (and maybe even kill her). Of course, he fell in love with her instead. 

But the plot point of ‘she would figure out that he originally planned to betray her and doubt that he loves her at all’ hung over our heads for most of the story. And rather than being focused on the big-donged barbarian fun times, I was filled with dread instead.

But this is probably a me-thing and most people would really enjoy this book, which is the fourth novella in The Dead Lands series but can be read as a stand-alone.
