Good story but a little confusing until almost the end, unless you’ve read the others then you won’t be lost. I really don’t know what to write. Sorcha is on of the Embraced and was raised with four other girls in a convent on the Isle of Moons. Sorcha can sort of control fire and finds out her mate is an elf. The Woodsman is like Robinhood, he also can talk to the trees and control things made of wood. When Sorcha is captured after dressing as a soldier, The Woodsman rescues her and another man. They don’t get along at first but once they really get to know the other, then the Woodsman will do whatever it takes to keep Sorcha safe.
Action, dragons, elves, and evil characters. I enjoyed it once I got into it.
* Voluntarily read and reviewed this for NetGalley *

i waited a long time for this book to come out and it doesn't disappoint. Sorcha and the Woodsman really make things happen. Regardless of the foretelling these two are just as perfect for each other as the others. With all the twists and turns the romance is still fun to watch/read.

Yet again Kerrelyn Sparks has created a fantastical world and peopled it with magical creatures. Sparks excels at world building. Learning about the various kingdoms and peoples flowed rather than seeming a chore that requires one to keep notes on a pad. The main species in this book were elves and her take on these elves was fresh and interesting. The plot took enough twists and turns to hold interest and the romance was sweet while the sexy bits were hot.
I would recommend this to my patrons as a way into the series or as a stand-alone.

Not gonna lie the man can be a bit daft at times, "holy Light. Was she trying to seduce him? He scoured his mind to come up with a pithy response. “Oh?” Damn, he wasn’t usually this slow-witted." Sorcha his no problem going in for the kill, “We could have a quick affair.” He sputtered wine all over himself..." I really liked this book, which actually kind of surprised me. The blurb doesn't really do the book justice.
