Heart of the Fae (Book 1 of 6) by Emma Hamm

First Line:

Blood covered her hands.

Summary:

Sorcha has spent her days trying to find a cure to the plague sweeping her home. Her father is sick, and if she does not learn how to stop it, her sisters will be too. She resorts to making a deal with a dangerous Fae to travel to a dangerous place.

Eamonn is an exile, born to be a king until his twin brother stabs him in the back. Literally. Crystals emerge from his wound and he is banished to a cursed island for his unsightly appearance.

He lives in shame until a beautiful woman comes looking for him, and he is forced to accept the fate he gave up ages ago.

My Review: NO SPOILERS

The plot and romance are on point!

I was intrigued by the cover art and honestly, it was worth it! I am a sucker for a big softy (aka Stone) and as I grew to learn more about him, I grew to like him more. I also love that Sorcha was on a personal quest and we got to see some of her life before she was sucked into the world of the fae.

I think the story lost a bit of steam at the end, but overall this was an interesting read!

My Favorite Quote(s):

The ghosts of his past walked with Eamonn across the ramparts of the castle. They tugged on the cloak wrapped around his shoulders, tangled in the high peak of his braid, clutched at his wrists and pulled him back towards the gloom.

The weather grew angry with him. Together, they would rage against each heartbeat—each breath—that kept him alive.

“Your eyelashes feel like feathers,” he whispered in her ear. “I have very little poetry for women such as you. I cannot ever compare your body to artwork, or sing you songs of lovers in a hidden grove. My experiences limit my words and talents.”
