Fleeing my father's cruelty, the wicked king who robbed me of a future, I face death in the streets, caught between a rebellion and a tyrant's reign.

Captured by those sworn to kill me, the rebels remain blind to my true identity—the missing daughter of the despised king. Faced with an impossible choice, I stand before them: join the rebels or face their blades.

Yet, Dacre, the son of the ruthless rebellion commander, becomes torn between suspicion and a desire that mirrors my own. He allows no one to touch me, tries to protect me, yet threatens me at every turn.

As secrets are weaved beyond our hidden realm, a fierce battle unfolds within me. As I get closer to the rebels, and their cause, my loyalty to my kingdom clashes with my undeniable devotion to Dacre and the burning connection between us.

In a world where love and hate are two edges of the same blade, I find myself caught in a delicate dance between forbidden desire and my looming destiny.

Jamie’s review

Tangent – I love how pretty these book covers are 😍

This series is fast paced and spicy! There are tons of similarities between this series and Powerless and it was hard to not compare/confuse them. I like spice so I preferred this series. I won’t say that the plot is unique or there were twists I didn’t see coming, because I would be lying 🤥 I do wish there was more character development, it would have made things more suspenseful.

Dacre is definitely a morally black, problematic MMC. I get why he has haters. I am not one of them. But his connection to the lackluster FMC felt insta-lovey and I definitely prefer a tension-y slow burn.

Overall, this was a fun little predictable read. I’m not mad about it. And we can always count on Holly Renee to spice things up 🌶️

Erica’s review

The good? Dacre’s mouth and what he does with it. The bad? Maybe everything else??? I kid, I kid. I don’t know…I was just a big fan of The Stars and Shadows series so I think I had higher expectations. And even though I don’t know her, I love Holly Renee! Maybe it’s how gorgeous the books are, maybe is her exceptional smut writing and banter…love that girl. But, I do prefer the Stars and Shadows series over this one.

I love a morally gray…fine guys, even a morally black MMC (should I bring up Darius again?), but Dacre was a bit all over the place for me with too little explanation of his awful behavior (one scene in particular – IYKYK). BUT, overall – these are pretty little shorty spicy romantasy books that check off all our fave tropes with a good FMC. They will entertain you AND jazz up your bookshelf. What’s not to love?!
