The Mistress & The Renowned by Jeanette Rose, Alexis Rune

5.0

please note that the trigger warnings and topes/themes may contain spoilers
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
HEA: cliffhanger
POV: dual 1st person POV
spice: many open-door spicy scenes
TWs: child abuse, deprivations of gore, kidnapping, manipulation, narcissism, PTSD, self harm, torture, violence, war
Kinky Content: ass play, biting, dirty talk, double penetration, โ€œeyes on meโ€, grinding, marking, mirror sex, oral, praise, prehensile magic play, shower sex, spanking, voyeurism
standalone: book 2 of Love and Fate series
final thoughts: book 2 did not disappoint! So much adventure and banter continued in this series into book 2.
This book focuses a lot more on the adventure/war/world building aspects with the romance taking a backseatโ€ฆ but definitely still very prevalent in the story with many spicy scenes throughout.
We get a lot more of Cerberus and Mellie in this book and I love the side characters just as much as I love the main characters.
