Superior m/m fantasy romance. In this world m/m love is as acceptable as m/f relationships. An excellent fantasy adventure complete with dastardly villains and tortured heroes. Highlighted no quotes but enjoyable nevertheless..
3.5Some solid fantasy world building with well developed characters both the MCs and secondary ones. I enjoy stories with misunderstood characters and Alric definitely classifies and I liked seeing how Gareth's perception of him changed. I loved how the bad guy was defeated, I thought it was very cl...
Good, and while it wasn't quite a beautiful web of intrigue, it definitely had something there.It was good-ish, but then it got really benign towards the middle into the end, which was sort of weird for me.I despise misused homophones.And I guess that injury from saving the life of the other is a mu...
The relationship between Gareth and Alric seemed to move too fast from "angry reluctant grooms" to "overly concerned spouses". In truth, I didn't hate or love them. I really wanted to see more of Balthazar and Elwin (not together, just their characters). They were the most interesting ones.

This could have been a fantastic read, especially for a fantasy aficionado, but all the fantastic elements were either glosse...
3.5 stars. A copy editor could have bumped it up to 4.
The Devil's Fire is set in another time a place. A time where kings and knights still waged war with tempered steel and bows and arrows. But, in this space there are is also magic and evil. One evil in particular, that touches the two main characters long before either meet.Forced to marry to sec...
I really loved this one!Hmm, let's count off the reasons why I do :D1. Arranged marriage that turns to love... Gareth hates Alric when he finds out about Alric's past. Alric hates himself because he thinks he's contaminated with the whole cursed with fire thing. 2. We have the setting of a medieval ...
Gareth and Alric deserved to be together!!!Yesssss sorry if I'm spoiling but I MUST start telling this book don't have a HEA, but a HEA+babies and I LOOOOOOOVED IT!So, if you read the plot you get it's a epic... I search in the dictionary a definition:epic |ˈepik|noun•a long poem, typically one deri...
I liked it but at times the reading became tedious and I felt the need to skim. I would have loved to read more about Alric and Gareth's relationship without the life-threatening aspects of the book.
