I finished this one two days ago, I could not put it down and stayed up WAY later than I should have on a work night just because I couldn’t put this one down. All the things I love are contained in this one- MMC is smokin’ hot; FMC is intelligent, cares for others, has a deep sense of loyalty and doesn’t expect someone to save her because she is capable of saving herself. There is a lot of focus on the main character’s relationship but also has a good bit of political intrigue, and the conflict comes from all sides.
Drawbacks (I know I gave it five stars, I couldn’t put it down…)
Secondary characters are interesting and done well, but with a few more pages committed, this could have been epic. Without giving spoilers, there are several simultaneous conflicts occurring at the same time, which is great…but again, with more pages committed to fully fleshing this out, could have been epic as well.
Bottom line, still a five star read for me….I would read it again, I am going to keep it and not sell it back for more books, and I had a hard time going to bed on a work night because I could not put it down…the definition of a five star read for me. Two days after finishing it, I am still thinking about it and I think this one could have easily been two books with both about 400 pages.

Do I think it's good within its category? I don't hate it? The category being: smut/porn with a plot/romantasy.
I didn't find it as predictable as others have noted. I did find myself wanting to continue reading. Okay, the exception being that there was a part in the book where I couldn't bear another sex scene so close together for lack of substance. But after that, it got better.
Basically: it's an easy, enjoyable read. Don't expect too much.
Also, I'm not one for quotes but that part where he goes something like "you doubt my ability to conquer a kingdom, fuck my queen, and hunt a witch?" LOVED IT.
