Aslin finds herself in enemy hands at the tail end of a war between her country and that of Ero, the enigmatic captain who has kept her prisoner for weeks. When a peace treaty nears, Ero decides he’s not ready to let her go. Suddenly Aslin is faced with a sea voyage into the unknown, destined for a mysterious island where she knows no one. No one, that is, except for the dark and possessive man who has claimed her body and is perilously close to claiming her heart. The mfc was supposed to be a warrior but had no fighting spirit at all. She just let things happen and when along with barely a question or complaint or putting up a fight at all.

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. 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 🥰. 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. This was really disappointing. The story had so much potential. Annoying Miscommunication trope. There was maybe one chapter that was “dark” but it was more non-Con than CNC so it was just gross and not sexy.

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. The Archer is a dark fantasy romance with explicit sexual scenes. It is for mature readers only. There are scenes of rough sex, reluctance, and violent combat. This is a standalone work with a happy ending.

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. It read as a fairy tale of sorts, very geared towards erotic romance and with quite solid world building and a nice plot to boot. This book confirms that I really like sweet fantasy/barbarian style romances with a healthy dose of spice and epic-feel. The H, Ero, was such a perfect male, all considerate and princely and yet visceral in his feelings as well. The h, Aislin was a little more opaque in personality, but she was very brave and loved with all her heart. The tender angst between them was simply but effectively done, appealing to the heartstrings gently. 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 ❤. Though it’s difficult to see why, since Aslin has the personality of a wet tissue.
