My first Kass O’Shire book and it will not be my last.
This was the cutest spicy monster romance book I swear. I absolutely adored Aegir and Elspeth. The spicy scenes were hot, but the scenes with Elspeth’s flashbacks and issues stemming from her captivity were so well done. I know what it is like to have those and I felt for Elspeth so much. I loved that O’Shire gave Elspeth and Aegir a happy ending with each other, but she didn’t make Elspeth’s touch aversion and other issues just disappear because of that happy ending. It was realistic while also keeping true to a romance novel.
This was such a good book, so well written. I absolutely loved the author’s addition of footnotes, that was just the icing on the cake.
I also received a copy of this book as an ARC, in addition to purchasing a copy once it was released. This book was worth my money.
