Girin is half troll and half human. He has lived alone on his mountain since his mother's passing, not fully accepted by either humans or trolls. Although he is lonely, he is at peace with his life in the forest. When he finds Ronan, a male witch who has been starved and tortured, near death, he takes him home and helps him recuperate.Ronan is initially distrustful of Girin, as Ronan has never known kindness. He's been a slave all his life and is now on the run. The more time he spends with Girin, however, the more he begins to trust and even care for him. But the day comes when Ronan must return to his former life to settle an old score, and it's when Girin insists on accompanying him, that the two grow even closer.This was a delightful romance between two characters, both lonely and shunned for who and what they are. The world-building was intriguing--just enough description of the settings and the culture to pull me in without overdoing it. I fell in love with big oafish Girin right away, and was very satisfied with the HEA ending. I'm so happy he found the love and companionship (and family) he so deserved.The heat level is low, but it feels just right for the story. No complaints here. I'm imagining all sorts of ways these two can have sexy fun together...
