This is the 5th book I've ever read from Kristen Ashley, and this book and Sweet Dreams are my favorites!!This story is basically Game of Thrones with a happy ending. I've read somewhere that the author was inspired by Khal Drogo and his Khalisi from Game of Thrones, and I don't mind because I love it!Circe, the heroine, woke up in an unknown world where men hunt their brides and can kill each other without qualms. She had no idea how she got there, and she didn't have time to figured it out because the next thing you know, she's claimed by the king of warriors and became a queen to his people. The story continues with Circe's trying to adapt to this new world with completely different customs, however I warn you that this world the author created is very violent.The heroine was raped by the hero on the hunt, though it was briefly mentioned. And I guess I was not too shocked by that because I was prepared, I knew that this book will somewhat violent based on the author's inspiration (from Game of Thrones), it was explained that that is the way of the warriors. You fight for the bride of your choosing, and then you claim her after you won.The hero and the heroine are two very different people with very different values, however they try to work it out and make concessions, and compromise, because they love each other. I'm not very good with reviews but I just want to say that I enjoyed reading this book very much and I'll be waiting for more books from Fantasyland Series :)
