I'm not sure what I was expecting when I started this book, but I can certainly say that this story keeps you hooked from beginning to end and leaves you wanting to know what happens next. Something tells me this is only the beginning and as a reader, we are in for one wild ride with this series!
Mabel has been tasked by the King with taking out an Orc who has done the unthinkable. Skilled at what she does, she knows when she sets out on her adventure that this is going to be just another (somewhat) easy day at the office. What she doesn't expect it her feelings to get in the way and put her life on a completely different path.
Brugo has done something that is terrible to the human race. Having banished himself from his clan, he is all on his own in this tiny, wooded mountain area with little in the way of resources. When Mabel stumbles in the woods on her hunt for him, he thinks he has another easy job (and potential meal) in his grasp. What he doesn't factor in is his deep attraction to her and this constant pull he feels that makes him think of her as home. Can both Brugo and Mabel put aside their roles in this universe and open themselves up to the potential of love from one another?
This story is fast-paced, action packed and full of spice! The chemistry between Mabel and Brugo is off the charts from the moment they meet each other and it is hard for them to deny themselves of the attraction. Their moments together are certainly hot and leave you wanting more. You also get a lot of backstory from Brugo- the circumstances around what brought Mabel on her mission and why he was exiled from his clan. The one thing I do wish is that we got a bit more of Mabel's backstory. You do get a glimpse into it but there isn't much expanded on it in terms of maybe some more about her parents and the family that she has seen come and go. I feel like the possibilities are endless with Brugo's family because they are still around so that is why I feel like we could have gotten more from Mabel's past- which still could be coming as this story ends on a massive cliffhanger that I hope is taken care of in the next book!
