BLURB: Tighe is Summer’s Prince, the second son of the Summer Queen. The blindness of his mortal father cursed him with eyes that see too much, and now he wanders the woods of immortal Summer alone. He is an outsider in his own country, or at best a curiosity, never someone anyone truly wants. Faelan is gancanagh, one of dark Summer’s most treacherous beings. Beguiling as he is beautiful he, like all of his kind, was made to incite lust and longing even as he seeks true love. For anything mortal, anything unprepared, even to be in his presence is dangerous. When the two meet by chance, Faelan can’t help but be curious about this half mortal prince—and the prince is more interested in a companion than questioning what kind. Tighe has never seen anything but the lie behind love. Faelan is love’s lie, and knows it. Is the beginning and end of everything between them inevitable? Which is stronger, need…or nature? Publisher’s Note: This book is associated with the Eight Kingdoms series by Belinda Burke.
REVIEW:
Sexy and Romantic. This short story is primarily a romance but also serves as a history of sorts to the Eight Kingdoms Series. The story begins when Prince Tighe finds out his mother, the Summer Queen, is pregnant. Shortly afterward Tighe meets Faelen, who is a magical being known for his dangerous allure. Tighe is drawn in by Faelen even though he knows he should run the other direction. When they come together, their first union is beautiful and erotic, but Tighe fears that magic is all that binds them. While Tighe keeps his distance, Faelan realizes he has true feelings for Tighe. Their romance progresses throughout the story, but before the story ends, there is an appearance from the Red King.
I really enjoyed this sweet and erotic story, but I believe one reason I liked it so much was because I read the first two books of the Eight Kingdom Series prior to reading it. I think if I hadn’t read those books first, I may have been confused about the significance of the Summer Queen’s pregnancy as well as the appearance of the Red King. However, I read this story without pause and was drawn to the love affair between Faelan and Tighe. I recommend this to anyone who loves magical beings and erotic fantasy.
