5/5 Stars 🌟
▪▪I breathe, you inhale and we both go up in flames▪▪
And that's exactly what I did, go up in flames beacuse this book was STRAIGHT UP FIRE
I was hooked from the very first page and found that this book was everything I didn't even know I was craving and more. It was gripping, exciting, addicting and intense. It was full of violence, murder, passion, intrigue, steam and political struggles relvoing the British Monarchy.
Saxon was cold, distant and guarded. He was so very stubborn, grumpy and indifferent and often infuriating but for some reason this is my very favourite type of Hero and I fell hard and fast for him as did Isla.
He was conflicted with his loyalty and moral compass but he was also focused and determined to the point that he constantly underestimated Isla's capability to be just as ruthless and cold as him and misjudged her from the get go.
Isla was strong, sassy, stubborn, vengeful, loyal yet broken and plagued by grief and tragedy. She takes on the responsibility to protect and care for her siblings after they lose their parents. She is a total BADASS. She wasn't perfect and had many moments of naivete and doesn't always think rationally before acting which usually lands her in dangerous situations but she is so incredibly tough and passionate and quite possibly one of my favourite heroines I've read recently . She is a true fighter.
Together Saxon & Isla were the best combination of two strong, stubborn individuals who were so similar yet completely different. I loved how they both went toe to toe with each other every single time. The banter, the fire, the heat and passion between these two sizzled. The entire story takes place over a 2 week period so their relationship was definitely fast paced but I didn't mind one single bit.
▪▪ She turned to fire and I turned to Ice▪▪
From the beginning til the end this story had me on the edge of my seat with feelings of nervousness and unease with not knowing what was going to happen next but I absolutely loved every minute of this book and if this were a movie I feel like I would rewatch it over and over again.
This is book 1 in a series of interconnected standalones with a storyline that will carry on through each book and ended on a soft cliffhanger that leads us into book 2 and I WANT IT NOW!!

Release Date: April 30
It’s dark, it’s gritty, and there’s a pretty good chance it’s the royal romance you never even realized that you wanted. Your new anti-hero obsession is almost here—do you think you can handle Saxon Priest?
“I’m not scared of you.”
I meet her gaze. “You should be.”
Spy.
Defender of the Crown.
To all of England, I’m Saxon Priest. Traitor. Murderer. Owner of London’s most infamous anti-loyalist pub.
And then she appears.
Isla Quinn may claim that she’s only looking to buss tables, but I’m no fool. Bitterness bleeds from her hard-blue eyes, and her hatred for the queen is so palpable, I can practically taste it off every sharp-tongued word slipping from her full mouth.
“Hire me,” she begs.
We’re on opposite sides of this war. Enemies from the start.
Isla thought she found an ally, but she’s found me instead.
Savage.
Ruthless.
A man with no heart, no matter how the dead space inside my chest lurches whenever she’s near.
And so I lean over, dragging her deep into this twisted game of crowns and thrones, and offer a single vow: “I could use you.”
