Is this a ground breaking story which I've never read before? No. But was it fun and did I speed through it in a few sittings? Yes.
It's a set up I'm sure those of us who've read fantasy romance before know well, but I did enjoy this book. I liked the characters and was rooting for them from the start, the twists and 90% of the plot are very predictable, but I was here for a slow(ish) burn romance and that's what the book delivered. I'll definitely be reading the next book.
