I'm reluctant to give it more than 3 stars as it is too short, however, the story itself is entrancing from the first page to the last. That cover, though.....exquisite!
What have you done to me, you wickedly handsome Volc?
Her diamondblade crown sits proudly on her head and her black cape flaps behind her. She's powerful and stronger than any other person I've met.
How he reduces me to a begging, trembling, aching mess is beyond me. If it were anyone else, I'd kill them. Not Ryke Bloodsun, King of the Volcs, Truth Seeker and fire maker. Bossy. Infuriating man. Breathtakingly beautiful.
She was meant to stand above all men, including myself.
“For a mad, bossy king, you’re sometimes sweet.”
“And for a cold-hearted queen, you’re awfully hot.”
Clever, cruel queen. She’s much smarter than I gave her credit for. Playing the most ruthless king of all by way of his cock.
I am their worst nightmare. I will eradicate them all. With a loud scream, I pour my rage into the storm around us.
“So close to death, my queen. You simply needed a dark king to bring you back to life.”
“Trust your instinct. Trust only yourself. Trust in the cold.”
''Beautiful.
My fiery, cold queen.''
'My cruel queen smiles. “Our love is destructive.”
“Only for those who attempt to step between it.''
I see you, Cold Queen. […] your time is limited. You’re just waiting for someone like me to dethrone you and end your miserable existence. Your wish is my command, your royal frostiness.
“I’ve taken your innocence, snowflake. It’s a brutal matter. But soon, your body will adjust to mine. You’ll realize we fit together perfectly.” […] “The ache will fade and the fire will ignite. Burn with me, my queen.”
“If I die on the battlefield…” she mutters against my lips.
Then I’ll die too.
This woman has power over me—power I didn’t even know existed in this world. Making a powerful man like myself feel powerless is a very dangerous move.
From the moment I saw her, I knew she was mine. I never planned on taking her sister or leaving her. No, I was going to make her my queen in every way possible. And that’s my truth.
“If I die today,” I rumble. “Know that every second with you was the ultimate gift.”
Heat blazes through me, my eyes searing into hers. “I’ll burn the whole damn world to the ground. If you can’t exist in my world, then no one else is allowed to.” My cruel queen smiles. “Our love is destructive.” “Only for those who attempt to step between it.”
