Description
Lady Maximilian is the daughter of the powerful Duke Croyso, but she is rarely allowed outside her family's sprawling castle for fear her stutter will tarnish their noble name. When she is forced to marry Sir Riftan, a low-born knight caught in one of her father's schemes, Maxi doesn't dare hope for happiness, let alone love. Her stumbling communication and his gruff manner sour their relationship before it can begin, and Riftan leaves without a word the morning after their vows are exchanged.
Now, three years after their disastrous wedding night, Riftan has returned a war hero. To Maxi's surprise, despite rumours that he was offered marriage to Princess Agnes, a beautiful and renowned sorceress, Riftan still wants Maxi for his wife. And when he comes to claim her, that longing becomes a desire that bewilders Maxi, even as she is overcome by the scorching heat Riftan's presence ignites within her. As she learns to navigate the intricacies of her new life, Maxi will find herself and her courage, and discover that she is anything but powerless.

Dnf at 30% I saw this book at my local bookstore and thought „Wow, that’s such a pretty cover, let’s look at some Goodreads reviews“. And then everything went downhill from there. The reviews were bad, warning other readers about really weird SA scenes and no communication at all. I also have to add that the world building was weird and not really thought through. And even though I (shockingly) reached the 30% mark I have to say that NOTHING happened. There was absolutely nothing going on besides some random sex scenes where he was telling her that she needs to relax if she wants the pain to go away. I can’t tell you why I even started the book in the first place. I would say that I had some hope left because the blurb seemed interesting. But this book gets a big, fat NO.
