The Archer: A Dark Fantasy Romance

Product Information

H was like Jekyll and Hyde- he was really dominant, j/p alpha and then switch- blushing, self doubting crying beta whimp. I wanted him to stay true to his character Aslin dressed herself up as her younger brother to serve in the Tirian army, but now, four months later, she's been caught by the enemy after a mission. I got super excited here because girls dressed as boys is my catnip, but this book doesn't feature any of that. All of Aslin's disguise shenanigans happened before the book starts, and her sex is revealed in the first chapter when her clothes are cut off her. This book is good. The author has the potential to really dive deep and get a good one out there. Yes I would read another book by this author. Not about a character from this book... But another story.

This book claimed to be a new fantasy romance featuring ‘rough sex, reluctance, and violent combat’. Unfortunately, this book doesn’t really deliver on any of those things.Aslin- Strong/ brave/sweet/vulnerable. A new soldier pretending to be her younger brother to protect him from the “draft” basically. She is skilled with a bow and arrow. I only wished there had been a great epilogue at the end. But I am happy from the author's note that there are other stories planned to be set in the same world. I can't wait 🥰. If you are looking for a sweet fantasy romance with light, but tenderaching angst and steamy moments, this book is a must read. Ruby Rodrigo is also a new author worth discovering and supporting. I foresee a bright future for her ❤.

It was a fast read. I'd say maybe a B level book. I could tell the Author wanted to maybe write a book off the doctor or the princess. I hope the author doesn't. There wasn't enough connection or interest. This book should just be as it is. Move on to different characters and a different story and write a non related book. If you like enemies to lovers romances within the fantasy genre this steamy read is one I recommend.NEW RELEASE* from Lucy Felthouse – Curve Appeal, a standalone contemporary reverse harem/why choose romance! (@cw1985) Includes*REVIEW* June 26, 2023 Though it’s difficult to see why, since Aslin has the personality of a wet tissue. I’m meant to believe this girl impulsively ran away from home, lived as a rough-and-ready soldier for four months, and carried out dangerous missions? She evinces no patriotism and, for the most part, barely any feelings.

Even though this is labeled a dark fantasy romance, I don’t find it dark at all. While it did begin with the heroine captured, the hero was never anything but protective and considerate once things were revealed. What a great find this book was! This dark fantasy romance is a fabulous read and contains one of my favourite tropes, enemies to lovers. It’s also got plenty of steam, forced proximity, a strong and determined heroine and an alpha to to die for. It manages to be both sweet and sizzling at the same time. I enjoyed how they are immediately drawn to one another and how their attraction swiftly grows and develops over the course of the narrative. There are some steamy and explicit scenes and these are beautifully written, as is the rest of the book. The plot contains plenty of passion and adventure for both hero and heroine as they navigate their relationship and unfolding events. They discover much about each other, including a number of secrets and unexpected revelations before their HEA is achieved. The worldbuilding held my interest without overpowering the central romance and thrust of the narrative. My interest was also piqued by a number of side characters whom I hope to see in any future books the author decides to release.Ero isn't massively better. His only personality trait is lusting after Aslin, to the point where it was actually laughable. How are you commanding armies from her bedroom? And what the hell have you fallen in love with, considering she barely does or says anything? He essentially turned into a massive simp, and it was kind of unappealing. I'm pretty sure the word 'abasement' was actually used at one point. Why? This one wasn't strong enough. Some authors are successful at moving to another character and writing a book off of them. Very few are. Their connection is good, the way it's written. The feeling of loss. I felt that when I was reading. I liked the plot twist. That was good.
