This is where I begin convincing you that the Aspect & Anchor series by Ruby Dixon is her best series to date. The King’s Spinster bride is a prequel and is the love story of 2 characters we meet in Bound to the Battle God. 

After Princess Halla saved Mathior’s life when they were younger, he pined for her for 16 long years. Now that he is king, he’s free to claim her as he always dreamed and he is QUICK to do so. We love an “it’s always been you” moment, and Mathior is a YEARNER. Halla, being the former royal of a conquered nation, is hesitant to believe in him at first but can’t help but fall for him. 

They now have a very complex and ✨spicy✨ three day wedding ceremony to get through before their HEA. Mathior must prove himself able to please his wife (wink wink), and Halla must prove herself pleasing to Mathior. It’s all very sexy and also surprisingly sweet. I fell in love with these two immediately. It’s such a fun introduction to the Aspect & Anchor universe and I loved it.
