Read wRite RunAn avid reader and runner. I like to spend my spare time with my dogs Reese and Orion.
This is a book I have been highly anticipating and it did not fail to meet my expectations and even exceed them. I am a sucker for dark fantasy romance and Rose in Chains was the perfect recipe with a dark, morally grey male lead and a strong, unafraid to fight back against her circumstances female lead who tests the MMC at every turn.
Celandine is a princess whose kingdom was stolen from her by the man who betrayed her whom she seeks vengeance on in this novella. She needs the help of a Hesperine who has been cursed to sleep for a hundred years and so she forms a plan to infiltrate his guarded home to wake him so they can work together to take down a mutual enemy. However, they both come from family lines they are also enemies, throwing in some enemies-to-lovers tension that kept me hooked.
To be clear, this was a highly anticipated read for me, and while I was expecting to like it, I was not expecting to have overwhelmingly strong feelings on it.
