King of Battle and Blood by Scarlett St. Clair
5.0

“Their union is his revenge.

Isolde de Lara considers her wedding day to be her death day. To end a years-long war, she is to marry vampire king Adrian Aleksandr Vasiliev, and kill him.

But her assassination attempt is thwarted, and Adrian threatens that if Isolde tries kill him again, he will raise her as the undead. Faced with the possibility of becoming the thing she hates most, Isolde seeks other ways to defy him and survive the brutal vampire court.

Except it isn't the court she fears most—it's Adrian. Despite their undeniable chemistry, she wonders why the king—fierce, savage, merciless—chose her as consort.

The answer will shatter her world.”

Oh my gosh. This was everything I needed and more. This book definitely has a lot of smut, but it does have a plot line. I can’t do books that are just smut and not much to it. But, this really delivered and I freaking loved it. Adrian is bae. This book was very addictive and I had a hard time putting it down. I love the world and want to see more of it. I love all the tropes that were thrown at us and I’m a sucker for all of them. I love how badass both Adrian and Isolde were and how they didn’t put up with things with others and and between themselves. I love how ruthless Adrian can be, but how sweet he is to Isolde. This was just everything. I need more. You all have to read it so I can gush with all of you.
