The premise sounds very promising and suffice to say I really enjoy reading this dual POV story about love, betrayal and revenge! 
 
The plot is simple and quite predictable but I still found this bride competition very entertaining and enjoyable because the participant canโ€™t see their partner, they fell in love with each other because of their personality and getting to know each other by chatting.  
The world building is also quite fascinating, I thought it was set in medieval time but it was actually quite modern with cameras and even AI. 
 
The romance is delightful and sweet especially the MMC - Ryker, oh he was a total sweetheart! 
It was no wonder that Brynleigh couldnโ€™t help but fell for him. Their chemistry can also be felt throughout the story when they could only hear each other voice everyday until they finally get to meet! 
 
Overall, this is a great start to a romantasy series and I would definitely recommend this book due to its easy to read writing style and loveable characters! 
The ending though, that HUGE CLIFF-HANGER annoyed me a little bit!! 
I really wish I have book 2 with me, Iโ€™m ready for all the angst in the next book! 
 
Thank you to RR Book Tours and the author for giving me an e-ARC of the book and for having me on this book tour. Iโ€™m leaving this review voluntarily!
