What if you fell in love with the one person you'd sworn to destroy? Lara has only one thought for her husband on their wedding day: I will bring your kingdom to its knees. A princess trained from childhood to be a lethal spy, Lara knows that the Bridge Kingdom represents both legendary evil - and legendary promise. The only route through a storm-ravaged world, the Bridge Kingdom controls all trade and travel between lands, allowing its ruler to enrich himself and deprive his enemies, including Lara's homeland. So when she is sent as a bride under the guise of fulfilling a treaty of peace, Lara is prepared to do whatever it takes to fracture the defenses of the impenetrable Bridge Kingdom. But as she infiltrates her new home - a lush paradise surrounded by tempest seas - and comes to know her new husband, Aren, Lara begins to question where the true evil resides. Around her, she sees a kingdom fighting for survival, and in Aren, a man fiercely protective of his people. As her mission drives her to deeper understanding of the fight to possess the bridge, Lara finds the simmering attraction between her and Aren impossible to ignore. Her goal nearly within reach, Lara will have to decide her own fate: Will she be the destroyer of a king or the savior of her people?

listened on audible; i think it would've been a hire review if i would've read it myself and not listened to the narrators.
I love to read. I've been doing it for just about my whole life. And I have absolutely loved and obsessed over many a book. But you'd be surprised as to how few books ( in comparison to how many books you've read) grip you and won't let go until you're done and then you sit there horrified that it is over and you need more you will quite frankly DIE if you don't get more. Was that dramatic enough? Because that's how this amazing book has me at the moment.
This book was a wild ride. From beginning to end. I mean that literally..by page 3 I was WHAT THE WHAT, by page 10 I knew I loved it and by the last sentence I was like AAAAAAHHHH!!
The main character is a princess assassin spy. What more could you possibly want???!! You animals.
I was engaged in the story, however I did have some issues with it. The fist book felt as if it was some kind of a extremely long introduction and all the more interesting things were saved for the second book. However it did work. Now I would very like to read the second book.
3/5 stars
Okay so the plot was good and had so much potential, but it missed the mark for me. I never quite got attached to the characters and I felt like the setting could have been fleshed about more.
