Warning: This review will contain spoilersBefore I say anything about the book please understand that I do not like to read pornography. This means for me that I do not like to read anything beyond a good make-out session in the bedroom. If you don't mind those things or you even like them, you may enjoy this book. I still think that the plot was lacking and the characters were completely shallow.I gave this book a try because the synopsis grabbed me. I think that fae romance has not been explored enough and I'm always looking for a fresh outlook on it. This story is about a young girl who is told that her parents bargained with the fae to be able to conceive and the price was that their daughter would be given as a wife to a fae prince. Wonderful premise!The first half of the book is this young woman complaining about her situation in life. She spends so much time complaining that she lives 6 years in the fae realm and totally misses it. Now, it felt like a month to her, but her hair grows to the ground, the seasons change, etc and she is just oblivious; I could not relate to this whiny child at all. As I was reading I kept trying to understand how the fae prince could possibly be in love with someone so immature. After they are married somehow both of them decide that they love each other and hit the sack. It is just that fast. I was blind-sided by the author; there was absolutely no relationship building before this happened. This book continues in this way until the end where again the author had great villain potential through the prince's manipulative, lying, brother and it fell flat.Overall: I returned the book and I wouldn't read it again. I hate being negative, but there it is.Hope this helps you decide if you want to read it.
