Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and The Cruel Prince, this tale of a human girl stolen to be the bride of a doomed fae lord is irresistibly romantic!
Hers is a life without magic or romance. Until the night he whispers her name.
For years, Valera has worked weary hours as a seamstress just to keep food on the table. She would give her all to protect her little sister from the cruelties of the world . . . and the tantalizing lure of the fae forest. One day, she fears, the fae will spirit her sister away, and how can Valera hope to stop them?
Then the fae come. Not for her sister . . . but for her.
Trapped in a magnificent palace far from her own world, Valera finds herself the unwilling bride of an enigmatic fae lord. He claims he won’t harm her and vows to return her home after a year and a day if she honors one rule: she must never see his face.
Determined to return to her sister at all costs, Valera struggles to unravel the mystery of her so-called husband. Why does he so desperately need a wife? And why her specifically? Torn between love, duty, and the unexpected freedom she finds in this strange new world, Valera must fight to find her place.
But will a burgeoning passion for the unseen figure in the shadows be her undoing?
The Moonfire Bride is book one of a two-part fae romance inspired by the myth of “Hades and Persephone” as well as “Eros and Psyche.” Read today if you’re craving a dark, swoon-worthy hero and a sweet, slow-burn romance with just a touch of steam!

I needed something light to read, that didn't require too much thought and that would be entertaining... to me this book accomplished that. I have to say I don't think it to be a very complicated story but I still really enjoyed this book very much.
It is light, not that short, and depicts the kind of romance that is built overtime... not a romance that happens just because, nor it is forced upon, although it does start with the MCs kidnap after tricking her into stepping out of her house's threshold, but it is developed in a way that it doesn't fall as a Stockholm syndrome trope, she genuinely keeps her trust limited and questions everything even when he is kind to her and doesn't give her any reason beyond her kidnapping to distrust him, which makes it -to me- more realistic.
I didn't expect it to be as enjoyable, so I am reading The Sunfire King, I need to know why everything happened in the first place and if Valera can make amends of her choices.
