This world was a fantastic draw in.  It's not perfect and it could use some work in places but I loved the story and the MC's.  Time-travel-ish through a portal to an almost medieval-like realm but whose inhabitants are semi-current on Earthisms and technology!  

Mevlida (I'd go by Mev too!) has returned to the scene of her mothers lost time.  She's trying to root out what happened to her mother, who her father may be and what caused her mum's memory blackout.  Along for the ride is her bestie and fellow history lover, Clara.  They make a huge discovery but before Mev can think about what she's doing she finds herself sucked through a portal!

Ah Kael.  He's the playboy bad boy of Elydor.  He's had centuries under the authority of his father and he now sees the error of his ways.  Now if he can just smuggle this human refugee to safety, he thinks he'' be making a dent in the karma overhaul he needs to undertake!

These two are slow-burn, intense enemies to lovers.  The MC's and the secondary characters are relatable and friendly.  The banter is witty and paced well.  And shock horror - these characters actually have to go to the loo!  I hate it when characters never need to go to the loo, brush their teeth, etc.

There is spice but it's infrequent and not over the top. It was a tad cheesy in places and could be more telling than showing but I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have added book 2 to the TBR!

PS I may be not so subtly hoping for a MM romance between Adren and Rowan, just saying!
