I attended an author signing where she mentioned this story was based on the idea behind what would happen if two enemies were locked in a room together. The banter was funny and playful, it really helped keep the story flowing. I really loved this! Jase and Kazi were a treat! We have some truly amazing character development in this. She overcomes fears and prejudices from her past to connect with Jase and always keeps her mission as a soldier in mind.īless you Mary Pearson for giving us an angsty romance that doesn't feel abusive at any point. She comes a long way before the book even begins, training to be an elite soldier. Kazi often returns to memories of her childhood, when her mother was taken away and she was forced to survive on the streets. Men who are probably in their early 20s drink to excess after the death of the patriarch. Sometimes the language gets a little salty, but doesn't go beyond "bitch," "ass," and "bastard." And characters, including Kazi, drink. Sometimes it gets a little gory: ears severed, a finger cut off, a knife through the neck, and soldiers covered in others' blood. Besides the kidnaping, there are raids and brief battles with causalities and injuries. Another couple has a brief tryst against a tree with only moaning mentioned. There's plenty of kissing and groping, with talk of wanting to do more but not having protection.
Kazi, a 17-year-old soldier, gets kidnaped with Jase, the leader of a city in the Remnant kingdoms, and sparks fly. Like the other trilogy, this is a fantasy adventure heavy on the romance.
