I can see why him holding himself back due to his own insecurities (all valid) spiked Ophelia's own to a hurtful level (which made my heart hurt). There are some misunderstandings, and drama surrounding the peace treaty, but there’s also a sweet HFN ending that’s making me crave more of this series.

I was absolutely hooked from the beginning, and I loved how the story unfolded and Ophelia found her place in a new world with her grumpy monster husband. And as Ophelia becomes more at home in the Dark Kingdom, they are unlocking a long lost legacy that Allerick is too stupid to see. Ophelia’s parents found some explicit pictures of a Shade(shadow demon) when she was in her late teens and she gets banished from the community. I sighed quietly to myself, surveying my surroundings instead since apparently I wasn’t going to get railed in my wedding dress any time soon.

I mean, I liked him, he was possessive and territorial just how I like my heroes but something was missing overall.

This was everything; it had the perfect combination of romance, plot, steam, worldbuilding, and intrigue. There was definitely part of me that thought we should talk about this, but was I really going to argue with him when he was willing to tongue fuck me into a better mood?

What bothers me the most about their personalities is that one was stubbornly stupid, while the other one was unreasonably.She is a Hunter and, therefore, cannot be trusted no matter how beautiful, kind, and caring she may seem. Now she just needs to convince her surly monster husband, Allerick, that she’s the best fit for him.
