Blurb:
The twenty-fifth day of December is fast approaching. It is a day that is celebrated throughout all of Faery. It signifies the birthday of the beloved Princess, Noelle Bogosian, who on this year will turn thirty years old. With her impending birthday, her father, the king, has deemed it time for her to marry. The king has reinstated the Royal Tournaments, a series of competitions that would allow warriors near and far to compete for his daughter’s hand in marriage.
Noelle, being the loyal daughter that she is, has agreed to her father’s outlandish idea of finding her a husband. She will do anything for Faery and knows that finding a suitable husband will help secure Faery’s future. But for Noelle, she’s ready to test out the legend of a Faery’s kiss. She’s been ready to find that one special Fae to spend all of eternity with.

My Thoughts:
Noelle Bogosian needs her friend.
Ryo Daerosis is willing to fight for what he wants. Jandar Yesro is also willing to fight for
what he wants. It’s that beginning which
will make it interesting to see who comes out the victor. Ryo is a man who is front and center –
there’s no mistaking his goal. But
Jandar is the opposite – he’s a man of mystery.
Part of the story reminds me of the Camelot era – and I don’t mean
JFK. It made me wishing that I were a
spectator while Jandar and Ryo show off.
But then whom would you root for.
Is this a case of good versus evil?
We also have a secondary character, Marric, which made me really
curious. I found myself wanting to know
more about him. What is it that draws
Noelle to him? Sad part is that I
couldn’t find out if we will see him again.
The only way to truly get an answer to that is to follow the author.
The author does a great job of creating tension between these
three. We also see that the heart wants
what it wants but Ms. Marie doesn’t leave it there so you’ll want to get
comfortable. It’s a story that would be
great to read all winter long – not just the holidays. But it’s also one that you could read any
time of year. It’s one that I can see
myself reading over and over. Yes this
has a mature rating due to a couple of explicit sex scenes but for me it’s a
truly romantic tale. Even though this
genre is listed as paranormal, you tend to forget that while reading. I look forward to reading more of this
author’s work.
Excerpt:
Ryo Daerosis was on a mission. He would participate in the Royal Tournaments to win the Fae princess’ hand in marriage. Her beauty and wit were known throughout the land. Warriors from all over Faery were descending upon the royal palace this week for the tournament.
The Royal Tournaments were an age old tradition to marry the princess off to a strong suitor, to ensure there would be two powerful rulers ready to assume the responsibilities of ruling all of Faery. This was the first tournament to be held in the last century since the royal couple only had one child, the princess.
Ryo was from a long line of strong Fae males, the Daerosis Clan, who were known as fierce warriors. Elas Daerosis, Ryo’s own father, had been the leader of the Daerosis Clan for the past two centuries. It was at the urging of his father that Ryo entered the tournaments. As the eldest son of the clan leader, it was time he settled down. Also, as the eldest Daerosis in line, Ryo was in charge of the clan’s army, making him the perfect candidate to be the future king of Faery.
