SYNOPSIS

Lara has only one thought for her husband on their wedding day: I will bring your kingdom to its knees. A princess trained from childhood to be a lethal spy, Lara knows that the Bridge Kingdom represents both legendary evil - and legendary promise. The only route through a storm-ravaged world, the Bridge Kingdom controls all trade and travel between lands, allowing its ruler to enrich himself and deprive his enemies, including Lara's homeland. So when she is sent as a bride under the guise of fulfilling a treaty of peace, Lara is prepared to do whatever it takes to fracture the defenses of the impenetrable Bridge Kingdom.

But as she infiltrates her new home - a lush paradise surrounded by tempest seas - and comes to know her new husband, Aren, Lara begins to question where the true evil resides. Around her, she sees a kingdom fighting for survival, and in Aren, a man fiercely protective of his people. As her mission drives her to deeper understanding of the fight to possess the bridge, Lara finds the simmering attraction between her and Aren impossible to ignore. Her goal nearly within reach, Lara will have to decide her own fate: Will she be the destroyer of a king or the savior of her people?

REVIEW

★★★

Rating: 3 out of 5.

I don't really know where I stand with this one.

I started because of the hype and why not but guys... I don't think I liked it all that much. 

Partially its because I read it on the course of a few days when its suppose to be a very bingeable book, I also listened to the audiobook, I am not saying its a bad one or anything but I do say that I wasn't inmersed into the story and I also lost track of what was going on a few times.

There was also so may political discussions that I wasn't able to follow and didn't care that much to be honest.

However, my 3 start rating is purely and merely because of the beginning and partially the end. 

The start to this book was so powerful, and I instantly thought "this is going to be a great one". The ending was just something else, I wasn't really feeling the characters because again, I was kind of out of the story and the world but I know that if I would have been paying attention, I would have enjoyed it million times more.

I did also lived our woman main character she was just such a badass and such an intelligent woman that and the story a bit better for me.

Sadly, I will not be continuing this series, I just didn't care that much. Don't hate me for this review, I know this is a widely loved book and im genuinely sad about it, I was just on such bad place reading wise. 

Maybe I will try it again in the future and hopefully continue the entirety of the series. 

Have you read it, if so did you liked it? Let me know!

REVIEW

⭐⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rating: 5 out of 5.

“The only way I’d be willing to write a romance novel is if you’re one of the main characters.”

I fricking adored this book. It made me cry and its been a while since I felt so emotionally attached to a book. 

The romance in this books is absolutely immaculate, how they love each other in such a tender way.

One of my favorites aspect of this story was the fact that he helped her to overcome on her biggest insecurities, which was the physical damage of the fire, but something that was way better than that was whenever he reminded her of how grateful she should be for even being a survivor of such a mortal experience. 

“Because I don’t know if you’ve realized this yet, but you’re alive, Fallon. And every time you look in the mirror, you don’t have the right to hate what you see. Because you survived when a lot of people don’t get that lucky. So from now on when you think about your scars, you aren’t allowed to resent them. You’re going to embrace them, because you’re lucky to be on this earth to see them. And any guy you allow to touch your scars better thank you for that privilege.”

I don't know why but it made me feel extremely emotional the amazingly stunning quotes that the book has.

My heart broke and the it got pieced back together and THEN it broke once again.

I have no idea if this follows a specific trope but I want to read everything that comes close to this but lets face it, no book will ever compare. 

It is surely not a very smutty book but that was exactly was I was looking for. I literally have no words to explain the million emotions that this book made me feel.

The characters in this story are so fleshed out, the type: I have never met this people but I feel like have known them for a lifetime. They just feel so real, Collen Hoover did an amazing job.

This is probably one of the books that I have read from CH so far, I know that some people say its their least favorite but personally its one of my top rated for sure. 

Also reading Novemeber 9 on the 9th of November just makes the experience completely different.

I can not wait for the reread next year!

REVIEW

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

This was such a lovely time! I absolutely loved (almost) every single moment of it. 

The main character was so powerful and she stood up for herself which is something we need in fantasy books, specially the ones that are set in a past time.

I really really liked the love interest main character as well, he supported her so fricking much and it was so lovely to see.

However I did find him kind of a typical love interest, there was nothing remarkable about him but still they were so cute together.

The plot itself wasn't all that original, it definitely feels like something that I have read before and like a very much typical fantasy romance book, but that was the only reason why I didn't gave it 5 starts. It is also such a bingeable book which made it super easy to fly through. 

It didn't had a super complex fantasy system nor a very hard to understand world which again made it a super easy read.

Overall I do really recommend it! Unless you are looking for an epic high fantasy, this is definitely not it.
