⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Aella, a powerful Fae, makes a desperate choice: an eternal, secret marriage to Darrow, a cursed dark fae and her sworn enemy. It’s the only way to save someone she loves—but the cost is steep. Aella finds herself tied to a man with more secrets than she can untangle—and a bond more dangerous than she expected. What begins as a strategic alliance soon turns into something far more tangled, built on reluctant trust and sharp-edged tension. Told through dual perspectives, the story explores characters who carry the weight of their pasts—and act their age. Their chemistry unfolds slowly through banter, tension, and a reluctant companionship that grows into something electric. Both Aella and Darrow retain a strong sense of self and the side characters are equally memorable, each leaving a lasting impact. The worldbuilding here is exquisite. @susan_illene doesn’t dump info—instead, she unveils her rich, magical world piece by piece, letting you discover its politics, creatures, and curses as naturally as the characters do. Sentient plants, long-buried oaths, and mysterious powers bring texture to a realm that feels both vast and alive. The pacing is tight, the stakes are high, and the plot strikes a strong balance between front story without ever overwhelming the core of the story. It’s plot-driven story—but grounded in its romance. With scenes that made me laugh, moments that pulled at my heart, and a realm I didn’t want to leave, this fae romantic fantasy is a quiet triumph. One I’ll be following into the next installment. Ancient curses, forbidden bonds, and a war yet to come—this is only the beginning. #bookreview #bookrecommendations #fantasy #books #romance #netgalley @netgalley #bookishlove #booklover #bookworm #readingcommunity #bookcommunity #bookish #bookseries #instagram #love #2025 #bookreviewer #bookstgrammer
