I really love fantasy books, but a lot of them focus more on the adventure as opposed to the relationships between the characters, you know?  This one was delightful because it had a good mix of both.  I really liked that about it.I kind of read these out of order, and started with this one, so I'm not entirely sure what came beforehand.  The premise sounded interesting, and the sample I checked out seemed approachable even if I was starting later in the story, so I thought I'd give this one a try before I checked out the rest.  Sometimes it takes awhile to get to the really good parts in a book anyways, right?  I think so, at least.I definitely wasn't disappointed!  This was a great read, and it starts off strong.  It continues to be really entertaining throughout the entire thing.  I loved the interactions between Melisse and the Marechal, too.  They have an interesting connection between them, and I definitely want to find out more about how that started out.  It kind of reminded me somewhat of some of the more popular contemporary erotic romance stories, but with a fantasy twist, which was really enjoyable.  It's a different kind of world, which is exciting to me.I'm a huge fan of medieval fantasy types of stories and sexy stories, and this delivers on both counts.  If you're the same, and want something with a little more spice than you typically get in fantasy stories these days, you should definitely give this series a read!(Probably start with the first, but if you're like me and you don't, I wouldn't worry too much about it =P )
