Book Summary:

Emilie

I never asked to marry King Cyrus, the ruler of the neighboring realm. But after his wife passed away, my parents saw an opportunity to gain his favor. They didn’t hesitate to offer my hand in marriage. Despite the circumstances, I’m determined to make the best of the situation. After all, becoming royalty comes with plenty of advantages. But first I’ll have to get past an unexpected obstacle—the king’s brother, Ladon.

Ladon

I’ll do anything to protect my family, even if it means sabotaging my brother’s upcoming marriage. I know the truth—that Emilie is a money-hungry opportunist who is unfit to be the queen. I'll do whatever it takes to see their engagement come to an end. She thought she was entering paradise, but I’m going to give her hell.

Until disaster strikes...

Now, we only have each other. Working together might be the only way to survive the twisted games we’ll be forced to play.

My Thoughts:

Emilie the FMC is a sexy, and sassy take no crap kind of gal. She is sent to marry and become queen to a man she doesn't know. Ladon the MMC is a broody I can't stand you type. He is out to protect his family from the unwelcome female. They are soon taken hostage by evil forces and forced to survive together.

I love the tension between the two and the slow-burn aspect of the storyline. You got to know both characters well. I did think the world-building could have been a bit more descriptive but it didn't take away from the story.

P.S. If you like a slow-burn fantasy romance you might want to give this one a try. I'm looking forward to the next book.
