Synopsis
A steamy fantasy romance about the healing yet deadly power of fate and forbidden love.
When I was young, I was told that my true love would be a faerie king. I didn't heed the warning.
I tumbled into love as soon as our eyes first met, unaware that he wasn't what he seemed.My king wanted marriage, power, devotion, and a family. He had all but one, and as our kingdom stood upon the precipice of ruin, the weight of failure tore us apart.
Though it was not the war but his betrayal that sent me running to a foreign land.And straight into the arms of a one-eyed warrior.
The wolf was a weapon of heartless destruction, a rogue without a real name, and nothing I was allowed to want.
A week spent within his city and the walls of his threadbare home was all it took to irrevocably change everything.And nothing at all.
For there was no escaping the life I'd once thought I'd cherish forever. My kingdom was dying and my king would soon start searching for his missing queen.
Attempting to keep all I'd found in the heartache he'd caused would only create more.So I fled from the wolf who hadn't learned my true identity, and I returned to my kingdom with a silent vow to heal my torn heart. I would try to forgive my faithless husband and accept my bloodstained future.
But those meddlesome fates had other plans.
The warrior I'd left without warning was born a hunter and conditioned to be a monster. An alpha in his own right, he would accept nothing less than what he hungered for.
Even if the battle of his life delivered our hearts to their doom and our kingdoms to their knees.
_This explosive romantic fantasy is a standalone from the world of The Savage and the Swan. It contains mature content and a happily ever after.
In this book you’ll find:
- Fated mates
- Forbidden love
- Shifters
- Fae
- One night stands
The story starts right away
Over the years I’ve come to appreciate books that make it easy for you to read them fast. And there’s nothing better to help you along than diving right into things. The story opens with Aster (the main character) alone in a tavern where Scythe approaches her and they have a one-night stand. It’s spicy, they have a connection, and you get all the feels because they don’t want to let each other go.
Characters all make some serious mistakes
I really don’t like it when a book tries to justify or endear us too much to the antagonists. I don’t think that’s the case here, and I feel like their own arc is very satisfying. On the other hand, our ‘good guys’ also make some mistakes, not just the ‘whoops’ kind but serious ones that I even didn’t know how to feel about them. It was a complicated situation. And that made it so very interesting!
It tugs at your heartstrings
Despite being a fantasy, it does deal with very human stuff that I hadn’t seen approached this way in other books. Maybe I just haven’t read them.
I felt a lot for the main character and was rooting for her all the way!
The Wolf and the Wildflower doesn’t have it all, but it has everything that counts and it’s a story that you can easily read in a cozy weekend.
