I was given a free copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.I really need to stop judging books by their cover! Really not a fan of the cover so I wasn't sure about the book itself but the book blub sounded so interesting that I had to give it a try.If you are in need of a quick HEA fist with a slow build up, this is so the book for that. It's a quick read but also a complete and satisfying read.I guess this book can fall under paranormal...Lake is a naiad which makes him one with freshwater and Forrest is a dryad which makes him one with the trees; so the names of our MCs are kinda obvious:-). Lake has spent the last eight years some what displaced because he's had now water to call his own or home until he is stationed in upstate Michigan. Forrest has been in the closet since he figured out he was gay and seemed to be content to stay that way. By nature and by job they were the guardians of Kingdom, the center of the Northeast's ecosystem. Their relationship is a slow build starting with friendship (which I appreciated) that doesn't show their true feelings for each other until the area they are entrusted to guard is threaten.I adored the secondary characters in this story. Knowing that they are chanting right along with you for Lake and Forrest to get together was nice. You didn't feel like you were in this alone with wanting them to get together and saying "kissing him already" or "tell him already"(there is comfort in cheering along with a crowd LOL).So like I said don't judge a book by it's cover this isn't a cheesy story. Just a nice little HEA with just the right amount of angst, no over the top drama, and a villain to boo.
