Resumen del Editor

New York Times best-selling author Penelope Sky releases her first sexy fantasy romance under the name Penelope Barsetti.

Ivory: I see him watch me. Everywhere I go - he follows. He’s one of my father’s guards at the castle. Goes by the name Mastodon. There’s something about him I don’t like, but my warnings are never taken seriously. But I bet if my brother voiced the same concerns that would be no issue…just because he has balls and I don’t.

Well, I have bigger balls than he ever will.

When I leave for the Capital, Mastodon escorts me. And just as I feared, he kills my guards and captures me. At least he tries to capture me. There’s a lot of running and chasing. I land an arrow right in his neck, but it does nothing. It’s like he doesn’t even feel it.

He takes me into a cavern, and we descend deep underground - to the Bottom of the Cliffs. Then he tells me why he’s doing this. Because my family took everything from him - and now he’s about to do the same.

Mastodon: Her father murdered mine then raped my mother - and forced me to watch. Then he pushed us over the cliff - to our deaths. But we survived - and now we’re ready for revenge. She’s the key to that. After she helps us get what we need, I’ll hang her by her pretty neck and watch her take her last breath.

I steal her from Delacroix - and of course, she fights me the whole way. Not just with her fists, but her mouth too. If she wasn’t my pawn, I might actually like her. When I hand her over to my mother, I realize she has far more sinister plans. She tells me to do exactly what her father did - and force her.

That’s not the kind of man I am, so the answer is no. But then she asks Geralt - the most barbaric man I’ve ever met. So I volunteer - because I know she’d rather it be me than anyone else.

Woah

I wasn’t expecting to love this as much as I did. Dark, with awesome and unexpected creatures.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!

Your going to end the book like that? I sure hope book 2 comes out quick. cliffhanger!!!!

I loved this book!!!

This book was amazing! I’m so excited to listen to the next book. Penelope Barsetti created such an interesting world. I loved that it had medieval and paranormal vibes while having a modern vocabulary. I loved the characters even if you loved to hate them I also loved some of the character’s evolution. The only slightly negative comment I have is that the male narrator could’ve done better.

Great story

I listened to it in 1 day. I wish book 2 was available in audible.

Interesting Story

Fast paced story that kept my attention from start to finish! I can’t believe it ended on that cliff hanger!! On to the next book.

One star off for the female narrator. There were times her inflections didn’t fit the part. Male narration was great!

Meh

I didn’t really care about the characters. I don’t plan on continuing the series. I’m surprised I even finished this book.

Great

I do not understand some of the negative reviews. Barely any f-words, the "c"word a couple times which bothered me but that's just because we're touchy about that word in the United States. Good storyline, good narration, definitely going to get the second book. sex scenes a little dry but I didn't get the book for the sex scenes so it wasn't a big deal to me. Worth the credit, worth the read!

So Good ☺️

This book was an unexpected surprise. I expected this book to be more sci-fi than romance. The romance was more erotic though but it was really good. I enjoyed all of it, even though it ended on a cliff hanger it still made sense and you got a good healthy book as well. Thankfully book 2 and 3 are already written and waiting for me to read so I am off to book 2.
The narrators were both really good and their voices fit the description of both characters.

this is one way ti love a fantasy!! Penelope #1Td

This is one hell of a story!!! I have always enjoyed Penelope's dark romance but I have to say that this Genre has taken her writing to a new realm!!! Her skills have created characters, and worlds at another level in her Extraordinary mind.
If you like Romance with alpha men and strong women check out other series by her under Penelope Sky.
Also the narition is spot on!! Don't miss out on the next 2 interview series

Incredible Must Read!

Rarely do I take the time to write a review. But in this case it is worth the little bit of effort because this book blew my socks off. For it being the only title offered by this author , it was amazing.

The main characters were both from opposite sides politically and the tension of the enemies to lovers relationship was astounding the action begins right off the bat. The male protagonist kidnaps the female protagonistAlmost immediately very early in the book so you get to watch their relationship develop across the length and breath of the book while I travel from one kingdom to another.

Please please hurry with the next one in the series!
