This was an ARC provided by Korey Mae Johnson.This is a first time author for me and also my first time reading fantasy. I normally don't read fantasy because it drags out and it's hard to get into. I read a sample first and was instantly drawn in. I finished this in a matter of hours. I couldn't pull myself away from reading it. The characters in this story Kyra, Taric, and Draevan all made me feel for them in different ways.Kyra is innocent and insecure, she is an outcast. She differs from other Elves in that she hides, she is not part of the kingdom. She is full of witty sarcasm, quick to snap back at Taric and Draevan. I could strongly relate to Kyra's insecurity. I felt as if I were a shadow watching the story play out.Draevan has never allowed himself to feel for another woman, his mother had foreseen that he and his cousin would slay the giant and marry the she-elf given to them as payment. He waited for the day when he would find her. Kyra instantly softens Draevan even if he refuses to admit it at first. Draevan instantly hits me as the dominant one between him and Taric.Taric is the softer one, he feels for Kyra although as the story goes on, he quickly finds his dominate bone. To me, he is the more tender lover. Taking his time with Kyra, enjoying her with each stroke.As the story progresses you learn more about the characters and watch them grow. They learn to trust each other and become to depend on each other. If Kyra hadn't been so stubborn I think this would have made the story slow and boring. With her sarcasm and stubbornness she makes the story a good read. This story has suspense, romance, and a wonderful storyline. I love that you see the jealously between Taric and Draevan over sharing a wife, you see that all the characters are still working out their flaws and learning to cherish one another, not fight.Shared Between Them has made me reconsider reading Fantasy. I enjoyed reading this and look forward to a possible sequel. This story will leave you panting and wanting more. You'll feel like you have come to know them personally. I highly recommend Shared Between Them especially if your like me, you don't typically give fantasy a chance. I will be adding more of Korey Mae Johnson to my bookshelf this year.
