Another great KA read. Fantasy series this time. This bk had way too many positive reviews posted as well as friend rec's to pass up. Circe wakes up in a nightmare in an extremely barbaric parallel universe. Talk about culture shock, not your typical KA read. Despite the story's cruel brutality it still remains a love story. I still can't get over how much I liked this bk despite lots of cringing. Even the language barrier didn't discourage me though I did give up trying to remember what different words and phrases meant and just went with the story. Most was translated either by a character, the author or just by action enough that it wasn't off putting. King Lhan is larger than life, violent, handsome, hot, sexy and totally alpha but as with most all of KA's heroes it was the big guys' sweetness to Circe that that totally captured me.  I was so sucked in by the twist and turns and a few surprises that I was extremely anxious near the end. A few of the scenarios I guessed at earlier as something that may happen - and they did, but that didn't take away from the story.  I know this review doesn't do the bk justice so all I can say is READ THIS BK. Giving it a 4 star instead of 5 simply because I didn't care for the extreme violence against women. On a more superficial level I wasn't a fan of the H/h short separation. Thankfully KA's separations are brief in terms of pages and always end with a great HEA.
