The Rogue King

When I picked this book up, I thought it was going to be another smutty book with no plot and all about the relationship between the MCs. I was very pleasantly surprised that the plot was actually super good in this book! I loved the overall story line, was super into the angsty love, and the way the overarching plot developed and set up the storyline for the rest of the books of this series. Can't wait to read the rest of them!

Tropes:
- Forbidden Love
- Fated Mates
- Forced Proximity

Almost perfect book. Romantic fantasy well done and I am now completely engrossed in the clan wars even though I was scratching my head to try and keep up with the history in the beginning.

1 star lost for an otherwise great romance that got ruined at the last 100 pages with the “I knew I shouldn't have trusted you” trope followed by the heroine not allowing him to explain himself. Dumb. But fairly common in romance so it happens.

I'm nervous for book two bc the hero hasn't been my favorite guy but I will continue anyway.

I got this book through my BaeCrate subscription and overall I definitely think it's worth it.
