First I should warn you that though this is a fantasy romance, it is not a dark or bdsm fantasy romance. It is spicy though, and I thought the book was good enough that some of you who like good storytelling would enjoy it.

This is a supernatural fantasy romance set in modern day, though it has a first chapter set in the far past. There is a type of fae called ‘Gancanagh’ or ‘love talker’, male fae that are known for seducing women. Women who fall under a Gancanagh’s spell go crazy, they become so in love they lose all common sense.

Lily is a young woman whose sister feels she’s not girlish enough. Her sister, an actress, has fallen literally madly in love with Ronan O’Farrell, who turns out to be a Gancanagh (though Lily is of course not aware of this in the beginning). Lily takes on the task of going to Ronan to demand he apologize to her sister in hopes that will pull her out of her madness. She and Ronan make an interesting deal..

This book was very focused on the story and it was not just a reason for the characters to have sex. I liked the story and the premise, and even more because the Gancanagh are really a part of Irish lore. Lily was a fun and believable character. Ronan had an interesting setup and throughout the story things became harder for him. There was a good amount of tension between them. There are some very sexy scenes that are not directly sex but build up, and they’re hot. The sex scenes themselves are hot too.

I should warn you that the book ends on somewhat of a cliff hanger and you won’t have the satisfaction to see Lily and Ronan get together for a happily ever after (yet?). I guess I’ll also have to read the next one! I absolutely loved the cover of the book. It was unlike other covers which is why I chose to read it and share my opinion. All in all I really liked this book and I think it’s worth a read. Even if it doesn’t have BDSM.
