Publisher's summary

Prince Allen has trained his entire life to follow in the footsteps of his illustrious mother, who has made their kingdom one of the wealthiest and most influential in the empire. For the past few years he has trained to become the new consort of the High King. The only thing no one prepared him for was the stubborn, arrogant High King himself, who declares Allen useless and throws him out of court.

High King Sarrica is ruling an empire at war, and that war will grow exponentially worse if his carefully laid plans do not come to fruition. He's overwhelmed and needs help, as much as he hates to admit it, but it must be someone like his late consort: a soldier, someone who understands war, who is not unfamiliar with or afraid of the harsher elements of rule. What he doesn't need is the delicate, pretty little politician foisted on him right as everything goes wrong.

A must read.

Derr' s descriptive text allows her readers to get up close and personal with the characters. This book is a perfect example of how a world could be envisioned if we could accept each other on our on terms with the recognition that who we are and who we choose to love is both an empowering and miraculous gift. Can't wait for her next book!!

Fantastic Fantasy and narration!

Any additional comments?

Yowza! I devoured this book - what a treat! At first, I was a little confused by all the characters and the world they lived in, but once I got into it, I could NOT put it down. I was looking for another Fantasy M/M series to sink my teeth into and was recommended to Megan Derr – yay ♥
The writing flowed beautifully, the characters were vivid, and the story was heartwarming. My only gripe would be that some of the dialogue seemed a bit childish, but not enough to make me put this book down. I devoured it in a few days.

Please take a chance on this series - it's definitely a hidden jewel!

Megan Derr Books

I have enjoy reading Megan Derr books, the suspense, laugh a lot, the emotion of each character as they find love, forgiveness and just plain enjoying reading her books. Keep it up.

A perfect balance

Perfect balance of romance, and intrique. The interaction between characters is real, adding humor paired with concern when needed. Sex happened as a natural part of the storyline.
Narration was wonderful, with just enough change in the character's voices without being fake or over done.

Great Story!

Love this story and series by Megan Derr. Although the narration was adequate, I have come to expect narrators to give unique 'voices' for each character (like narrators Gomez Pugh & Greg Tremblay). Unfortunately, that really was not the case here. If I was not already familiar with story, I may have gotten a bit confused because there was no real difference among the character voices when they were all 'talking' to each other.

Delightful!

Delightful! Arranged political/royalty marriage, slow burn romance, politics and intrigue. I enjoyed the focus on language/translation with a diplomat-linguist as one of the main characters. I enjoyed the High King's snark with his brothers-in-law/arms as well. There wasn't any pointless miscommunication plot line stuff, and the lack-of-communication/assumptions issues were typically quickly resolved and reasonable for the characters rather than drawn out annoying.

I enjoyed the plot, the world building, the cast of varied characters and the reading overall. I definitely hope future books in this series are made into audiobooks because I would love to listen to more!

Loved

There are too many thoroughly enjoyable things about this story to share. I laughed out loud through the entire first half of chapter 14. The whole book was just really well written! I’m a little upset that Book two is so short...

Sorry, this was an odd review.
