Enjoyable plot wise, but I never quite felt the romantic connection.

Loved this book from beginning to end. I loved the plot and the different points of veiw.

Heart of Knives by L.V. Lewis

The Complex is domed society, trying to restore peace to all the species of Metas and humans by making them live together.

Princess Amarie goes to Lorn to become the Elf ambassador in "The Complex". Her financee, Fairy Prince Erihstall is also at the complex.

Amarie and Erihstal try to strength their marriage commitment with a strong bond formed by a love spell. A human body guard, Gary, thinks she is under attack and jumps in the middle of the spell...forming a bond with Amarie.

Erihstal is just vile, thinking only of himself.
Amarie is really caught up in doing what is expected of her no matter the cost.
Gary Locke, the human body guard caught in the middle and now in love with Amarie.

It is all tied to deeper mechinations to destroy the peace, the reason for The Complex in the first place.

HEART OF KNIVES was imaginative but didn't have enough character development, even for a novella length read.

I think I would of appreciated it more in a 1st person telling.

Fast paced, packed full of characters that fly by and a glimpse into THE COMPLEX and its clash of worlds, I'm glad I read it.
