Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

This is a great read! An intense and chemistry-filled fae romance with magic, intrigue, well-developed characters facing a heartwrenching situation, and a gorgeous, passion-filled romance<\/p>\n

Hannah is a young human woman who lives in a cabin on her beloved family farm. Working with her parents, she was living the life that she\u2019s always wanted until she became sick. Her body is shutting down and nobody can tell her why. She knows her time is limited, but her family is fighting as hard as they can for her, and they\u2019re preparing for a fundraising event to raise money for her medical care when a handsome stranger appears on the farm.<\/p>\n

Ellister is a tormented fae whose job who arrives at the farm to fulfill a bargain made generations before. He needs to collect payment on a past favour, and the price is Hannah\u2019s soul, which he must return to his master upon her death.<\/p>\n

From the very beginning, there is a strong connection between Hannah and Ellister. They are attracted to each other, but believing that he is there to buy the farm from her parents, Hannah is instantly enraged by his presence, even if it brings her peace and relief from the almost-constant pain that she suffers from. The draw of wanting to be near him, while hating him, creates wonderful chemistry, especially as Ellister finds himself unexpectedly falling for Hannah.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I feel for you is unmatched by anything I\u2019ve ever experienced. I don\u2019t even have a name for it. It\u2019s literally indescribable. All I can say for certain is that I would do anything for you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Torn between his duty and the feelings he is developing for Hannah, Ellister wrestles with his fate \u2013 and with hers \u2013 as the two of them fall hard for each other. It\u2019s sweet, passionate, and beautifully emotional, with Hannah\u2019s illness making it all the more heartfelt.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never felt safer or more content than I do now, and I\u2019m just grateful for every minute I have with him. \u201cSo, how long will you stay, then\u201d
\n\u201cAs long as I have to.\u201d
\nThat vague statement requires clarification. \u201cAs long as you have to for what?\u201d
\n\u201cTo be here with you.\u201d
\nStunned, I blink. \u201cAre you saying you\u2019ll\u2026stay until \u2013 the end?\u201d
\n\u201cIs that what you want?\u201d There\u2019s a tinge of hope in his question.
\n\u201cMore than anything.\u201d
\nI hear him swallow. \u201cThen, I will.\u201d
\n\u201cWhy?\u201d
\n\u201cBecause you need me.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s a gorgeous, swoon-filled romance that is full of emotion, chemistry and passion. I loved watching things develop between these two despite all that they are facing, and can\u2019t wait to see how their story unfolds.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve only known me since yesterday.\u201d
\n\u201cIt\u2019s enough.\u201d
\n\u201cEnough for what.\u201d
\n\u201cEnough for me to know you belong with me.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I really enjoyed this book. I love a fantasy\/paranormal novel, but they\u2019re often long and quite the undertaking to dive into. This is shorter book that is well written, easy to read and which very quickly sucked me into the story. I loved this first part Hannah and Ellister story. Ellister\u2019s world is well-developed and intriguing, those final chapters bring twist after twist as Ellister fights to save the woman he loves, and the stage is set for an exciting conclusion when their story continues in The Dark Fae’s Destiny<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I loved this one \u2013 4 stars!<\/p>\n
