Harriet does such a good job mixing everything that comes with a romance novel and also those deeper emotional connections with the characters that we are looking for. I love love love April’s desire to have that connection with her mom! I think that was my favorite part. I’ll never see butterflies without thinking of this book again!

I really enjoyed this! The author did such a good job with mixing world building into the plot, and in a way that was easy to understand. It was so fun to have a Romantasy with a Pegasus as well! There needs to be more stories with our fav fantasy animals!

The only thing I really had a hard time with was the amount of times the word “mate” and other phrases were said. It got a bit repetitive for my liking, but I don’t think it prevented this from being a really enjoyable Romantasy!
