For a romance book, not bad. ( )

I will admit that I'm a bit of a sucker for a good fantasy story with magic and royalty and impending doom. You add in an element of m/m content and I'm definitely there. And this story had those things that I enjoy and generally, the story was told very well.

But there were a few things that ended up detracting from my overall opinion of the book. For one, Lyon seems to get over his PTSD really suddenly and inconsistently. Second, there are parts where the book really, really drags - discussions that likely don't need to be relayed because they have no bearing on the overall plot and are secondary to the main characters and story. Third, Lyon's reluctance to relocate permanently - something he's been adamant about - just seems glossed over at the end.

That said, Lyon and Tobin are interesting characters and seem to be great together and I enjoyed this one. ( )

4.5 stars.

I would love to know more about pretty much everyone in this book (other than Lyon and Xen). More about Tobin and the king. More about that annoying captain, who drove Lyon crazy in the second part of the story. There is So. Much! Loved it :) ( )

I may just have to rethink my stance on the fantasy genre because I LOVED this. It has everything - two great MCs, adventure, chills, pathos, love, and a really great HEA! ( )

The Lyon

This book as a bit out of my usual genre, but I really enjoyed it. It is a story of love and fighting to keep that love. ( )
