I have read through all of Riley's Trollkin Lover's series so now I'm checking out her other works!

Queen Dienne fears her people's safety when the Burbarre war rages through the neighboring kingdoms. When they finally met on the battlefield she is given a proposal by the Burbarre's Prince Jakol: Marry and her people will be safe...

The Good
I liked the slow build to the relationship between Dienne and Jakol. Prince Jakol was obviously obsessed with her from the jump and while he was an forceful presence at first, he immediately started bending to her will in all other aspects but their marriage itself. I felt like that allowed me to root for him and it allowed Dienne to fall for him. Once Dienne let him in their romance was really sweet and they fit together well.

Tropes:
— Political Marriage
— Slow Burn
— He falls first
