I think Imay have jumped in to the middle of a new series with this one, but who cares? The author did a great job of immersing me right in to her world, and let me just say that its a good one! I've read Ms. Bast before andlliked her but this solidifies it for me: she is now on my go-to list.

This book was a bit of "Lord of the Ring" and a bit of Laurell K.Hamilton in her "Mercy" style. I always love books w/ fae in them; they just are SO sexy! So this book is about Aislinn, a good little Seelie I think Imay have jumped in to the middle of a new series with this one, but who cares?

This book was a bit of "Lord of the Ring" and a bit of Laurell K.Hamilton in her "Mercy" style. I always love books w/ fae in them; they just are SO sexy! So this book is about Aislinn, a good little Seelie, and Gabriel, a bad boy Unseelie. He's also half-incubus, but he is just so hot that Ms. Bast could have left that out and not missed a thing. As it was,she must have used pyschic powers on me to discover my very favorite and most perfect man (inside and out) then created Gabe just for ME! Aislinn is convinced by Gabe - who is "requested" by his King - to leave the Rose Court for the Dark one, where she'll be able to safely learn how to use the magic she has (but isn't supposed to have). Only once she defects, she finds Gabe was just a lure and that she ... well, I can't say much more without spoiling it for you!

So this book is not without romance, but it is not a category romance or a traditional fantasy novel. It was a WONDERFUL read and had just the right combination of action (war and sexual kind), relationships with good, well-fleshed out secondary characters and resolution of the main storyline while still continuing along the epic path of any good series. I sincerely liked and respected both the lead characters and could see myself right in the middle of things (some things more than others, ahem)as the writing is so realistic.

Oooh, and this author did smething very few do but which I LOVE: she brought her characters together realitively early on, so I got to see how things worked out between them, not just for a couple of pages at the end! Congratulations, Ms. Bast, on giving me pretty much everything I could have asked for in a book! I have been searching for a new series and I think this will be it! Yea! ...more

This is an interesting new series featuring the fae. Once again like most fae books you have the Seelie, or good as they are perceived, and the Unseelie, or the bad as they are perceived. But like life good and bad are not always what it is supposed to be.

Aislinn, by her familial heritage is one of the highest born Seelie with a pure bloodline, but she has her own secrets and has never felt like a part of the Rose court. It takes getting her world shaken up by Gabriel, an incubus who has an age ...more

I really wish Good Reads gave me half stars because I am actually giving this one 4.5 stars.

Loved the worldbuilding for this and am looking forward to the next book.

Not sure why, but I did expect more out of the "Faemous" aspect. But I love the fae and once I got a picture of the world going good, the story really clicked for me.
