Blurb:Forced into an involuntary engagement, Prince Corinth of the North disguises himself and flees to the forbidden city of Evermort to enjoy the last of his freedom. Though a dangerous venture--as Northerners are usually welcomed with the end of a sharp sword--it’s worth the risk for a night of true liberation ... and to vex his father.
After losing half his men in a violent battle at the border of the North and South kingdoms, Sir Axle of the South seeks to drown his sorrows at the bottom of a Tankard of beer. He hates Northerners for their cruel and obnoxious ways, hates them for taking his people as slaves to work the mines, hates them for the murderers they are.
His motto: Meet a Northerner, and unsheathe your sword.
And when a cloaked Northerner enters his tavern, unsheathe his sword Axle does ...
I may have read this a while ago but I usually never forget an Anyta Sunday book. She is one of my all time favorite authors. There has never been a book I didn’t like by her and I one click all her books when they come out. She is also the author of one of my all time favorite paranormal romance series.
Anyway, back to the story. This is a short M/M fantasy romance that was sweet yet saucy! Prince Corinth is a bit arrogant but is it really arrogance when you have the skills to back yourself up? I found it endearing how he made little quips about his capture to lighten the mood. He was a bit spoiled and self centered in the beginning.
Sir Axle was broody and had the largest chip on his shoulder. You could tell how irritated he was that Corinth didn’t seem to know or care what was going on between their kingdoms. As the story progresses, we see how they affect each other in different ways. Axle becomes a bit softer and lets down his guard a bit. And Corinth stops making everything about himself and wants to help others more.
All in all the romance was the cherry topping on a great story. I’ve already read more in this series but these books have been removed from Amazon for some reason so I’ll have to wait to get more.
Is Dru Wellington her pen name? So glad you found a fun one to read!!
