Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)
Tropes: enemies to lovers, fae, dragon shifter, fated lovers, mates
I recently had the pleasure of diving into an amazing book that captivated my heart from the very first page and astonishingly this was a debut novel by this author .
Having my favorite tropes, the book charmed me and Rogue is one hell of a lover/mate. Their banter and progress was sexy at best.
What truly impressed me about this book were the myriad of twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. I prided myself on my ability to anticipate the twists, but the author masterfully managed to surprise me, saving the most shocking revelation for the very end. It was a delightful surprise that left me longing for more.
The steam level was also 5/5 without being over the top and cheesy.
The side characters had a depth of their own and all had a story and something to offer to the story.
The cliffhanger ending left me yearning for the next book in the series, has left me eagerly anticipating the next installment.
Happy reading!
