4 of 5 starsGwen Cully was a female blacksmith, the last of her family, but her livelihood is threatened when another blacksmith with two strapping sons moves into their village. She's barely holding on because her uncle and father have passed away and she's all alone. When a man bursts into her smithy, she's not sure what is going on until the villagers come and drag him away, bent on hanging him for his deceptions and thievery. Gwen could not stomach such blood-thirsty actions and claimed to love the man to save his life. Little does she know her life was about to change when she finds herself betrothed to Kellan Fox, the most handsome man she'd ever seen. Kellen could not believe his luck when a magnificent woman saves his life although he now finds himself betrothed to her. They make a pact that they'll remain just friends after their marriage, but that turns out to be impossible when sparks fly between them.
This was such a unique plot. I was intrigued by Gwen and Kellan trying to keep their hands to themselves especially after that first scorching kiss. Ms. Jordan slowly teases out the details of Kellan's past with his thieving father and how Kellan finally realized what he wanted and that was Gwen. There were no fancy balls or Society rules, and that was a nice departure from the usual books in the genre. This was my favorite book of the series so far and I look forward to reading the next book.
I voluntarily read the advanced reader copy and all opinions are my own.
