I absolutely devoured this book. Nothing I love more than a man completely obsessed with his queen and willing to kill anyone that gets in her way or even better, sit back and admire her crush their enemies herself. 

- Reluctant allies-to-lovers
- He falls first and harder
- Touch her and die
- Morally gray MMC and FMC
- Tortured hero and heroine (someone say hurt/comfort?) 
- Plus dragons and magic!
- Steam and tension so hot you’ll think the dragons are sitting right next to you the whole book
- Cayden has Hozier levels of devotion to Elowen
- Literally calls her his salvation and damnation
- Don’t forget that first scene when they flirted while she held a knife to his throat 
- Just read it already!!

Book 2 was just as entertaining as the first, I had an amazing time. Evie and the Villain have such a cute and fun dynamic you won’t want to stop reading about their antics and adventures. I love these books so much I can’t believe I have to wait so long for the next one because I need it right now! I’m so excited to see Evie become Accomplice to the Villain next. 

If you like silly banter and grumpy/sunshine with a fantasy setting, I highly recommend giving these books a try!
