At the mention of this being a beauty and beast retelling with Fae I was onboard, but this was so enchanting and swoon worthy!
With tropes including enemies to lovers, touch her and die, forced marriage, mate bonds, curses and forbidden romance this was set to be a winner.
I devoured it in a few hours and couldn't put it down. It's dark, gripping and addictive, with a strong stubborn FMC, and a possessive but considerate MMC.
The concept of a Volcanic Fae King (fire) and Selkie (water) adds to the forbidden element on top of a forced marriage, being held captive and being enemies, but with a curse to break, secrets, lies and conflicts, this is a masterpiece of slow burn enemy to lover romance, angst, suspense and mystery.
Ending on a major cliffhanger prepare for anxiety while you wait for book 2!
Highly recommend and looking forward to the next book!!
