A princess unwittingly betrayed
Princess Eudora of Cieala is sent by her father, Valin, to
the Passion Kingdom in order to seize control of its formidable army for the
power-hungry King.
A prince with the power of gods
With his kingdom standing unknowingly on the brink of war,
Aja, prince of the Passion Kingdom, agrees to wed the Ciealan princess against
his wishes for freedom. By securing her to him, he unlocks a power in her to
rival his own and a maelstrom of lust that could consume them both.
A world with but one salvation
The Passion Kingdom is the first and last defense against a
recently awakened ancient evil. With archaic magic awakened and the world on
the verge of chaos, only the rightful rulers of the Passion Kingdom can lead an
army to triumph over the forces of evil, or sentence humankind to an eternal
oblivion.
Alyx C. LaCroix knows how to weave
a fantasy together that the reader can almost step out and touch the
atmosphere. I loved the way that the descriptions and character developments
progressed so that the reader could imagine everything perfectly. If I closed
my eyes then I could imagine the Passion Kingdom. I was left wanting to move
there and learn how to use magic.
Eudora was
such an innocent when the book started that I wasn’t sure if she would be able
to deal with the way people lived in the Passion Kingdom. And Aja was such an
asshole I wanted to reach through the book and smack him. But as their
relationship developed I was surprised at the way they each became more than
they were and began to understand each other.
The
kingdoms fighting at the end was not surprising but I am surprised at the
twists and turns made throughout the battle. There was good build up and the
resolved atmosphere was perfect.
The only
thing I was slightly disappointed with was that the sex scenes seemed to be
very tame. For a Passion Kingdom and the people having to ‘tame their passions’
I was surprised by the lack of detail. There was enough that it was a turn on
but I felt like it was limited. Not bad, but limited.
Overall I
gave this book 4 stars. I really liked it and the idea of a world that was well
described and while different, was easily relatable made this book very good.
