The Winter King

Wow, just wow. I could not put this book down. This was a beautifully-written, well-executed story. I was expecting another smut fantasy with a tepid plotline. I am so glad to be wrong! This story was steamy as hell, don't get me wrong, but also had a badass heroine who literally saves the world by the end. Khamsin is fiery, stubborn, and rebellious and manages to grow in character and power throughout the story. Wynter is cold and unapproachable in the beginning, but eventually the sweet man beneath the icy exterior is revealed. All the characters were amazing, full of depth and complexity. I will likely return to this one over and over again!
