I received an ARC copy of this book. What a great read! It is well written. The world building is complete without being overwhelming. The banter/flirting between characters is perfect. I think it had a good balance of humor without being silly. The spice was introduced nicely and advanced appropriately for the characters' situation. I would rate the spice level 2-3/5. The ending felt complete enough to be satisfying, not like a cliffhanger. I would highly recommend this book for any fantasy romance reader. I look forward to another book!
