WarBride

WarBride, Book 1

By: Sylvia Mercedes

Narrated by: Emily Lawrence, Tim Campbell

Ruthless. Bloodthirsty. Killer. And now? Her husband.

Ilsevel knows exactly how brutal the fae raiders are. She watched them attack the holy shrine of her god, slaughter the priests, and drag her sister away screaming into the darkness.

When she's forced up onto the auction block to be sold off as a warbride to the highest bidder—and when the chilling warlord, Taarthalor, pushes his way to the front of the crowd and lays down an outrageous bid—Ilsevel fears her nightmare is only just beginning.

Taar took one look at the fiery little human, and something in him sparked. He cannot explain it. He knows only that he will not see her sold off to one of the soulless monsters trying to outbid each other for a chance to use and discard her soft, womanly flesh. If that means binding himself to her by marriage, so be it.

Can this dark king convince his bride not to murder him in his sleep before he can decide what to do with her? Or do the gods have other plans in store for the captive princess and her terrifying new husband?

WarBride is book one of a dual point-of-view (his and hers) forced marriage fantasy trilogy with a dangerous, brooding hero, kiss-or-kill vibes, and swift-to-ignite steam that will leave you begging for more. If you love watching a cold-hearted fae warlord discover his one weakness just might be the spitfire princess who drives him crazy, this is the book for you. Perfect for fans of Elise Kova, Laura Thalassa, and Danielle L. Jensen.

Great read!!

1st time I have felt compelled to leave a review on here. Loved this book, the 2nd can’t come quick enough!

Just Wow!!

Love this story! The narrators did a superb job. I cannot wait for the 2nd book to be released!!

Has potential

The FMC is the most ungrateful, selfish, and useless individual. I almost didn’t finish the book. I was hoping for some character development but was disappointed. I don’t know if I’ll continue with the series.

interesting world building

the story is good. I would give it a 4.5 if I could nothing was bad. the world building is interesting but a little secluded we didn't get to know many characters except the two leads so it felt a bit single focused at times, but other than that, and the FL making me annoyed at her winning and blaming the ML for things he had no control over, it was nice.

The male saved this book

Just my opinion. I am all for a strong, independent female lead. But this female was annoying beyond reason. She doesn’t listen and think she can do anything she wants without considering the danger to herself and the man who saved her. She is extremely selfish. The male lead is the only reason i finished this book. He is an honorable man no matter what this woman put him through. He has saved her so many times and has saved her from herself more. I’m hoping the 2nd book is better when it comes to the female lead
