Synopsis (Goodreads):
Some might call Princess Anja of Ivermere brave for offering herself up as a bride to Kael the Conqueror, a barbarian warlord who'd won his crown by the bloodied edge of his sword. It was not courage that drove Anja from her magic-wielding family’s enchanted palace, however, but a desperate attempt to secure a kingdom of her own—even if she has to kill the Conqueror to do it. She expects pain beneath his brutal touch as she awaits her chance. She expects death if he discovers the truth of her intentions.Thoughts on The Midwinter Mail-Order Bride: Holy wow, I loved this book. SERIOUSLY. Anja and Kael's slow burn romance was EVERYTHING. Throwing in the tangled politics of the various kingdoms and it took EVERYTHING and made it even better. Because Kael really is a barbarian warlord trying to do what's best for the people he's liberated. And Anja...well, Anja has her own issues to deal with and they're just as complicated as Kael's.
She didn’t expect Kael to reject her and send her back to Ivermere.
Raised in the ashes of the Dead Lands, Kael fears nothing—certainly not the beautiful sorceress who arrives at his mountain stronghold. And no matter how painful his need for her, he has no use for a bride who would only tolerate his kiss. Yet the more of Anja's secrets he uncovers during their journey to return her home, the more determined he becomes to win the princess's wary heart.
And Kael the Conqueror has never been defeated...
SLOW BURN ROMANCE, MAN. I'm becoming a fan of it. Watching two people grow to admire one another makes me giddy. Kael and Anja's slow burn is a little different in that they're both fiercely attracted to the other when they first meet, but circumstances keep them from acting on it. However, they're journey back to Anja's home gives them MORE THAN ENOUGH time to let all that simmering tension boil over.
I am honestly crazy in love with this book and would LOVE LOVE LOVE to read more about Kael and Anja and the kingdoms they inhabit.
