Ratings and reviews

Hm. This book was awful. I tried to give it a chance and keep reading, and made it probably a third of the way through before I gave up. Bad bad bad. I don't know why other reviews mention it being a cute or sweet read--- "With a rough start to the marriage..." translates to him assaulting her multiple times. There are so many other BETTER books than this one, don't spend your money on it.

Dumbest book ever. The husband is abusive and unlikable, the stupid sea hag woman is a troll, how weak minded is this supposed lioness? I can't say how disappointed and dissatisfied I am with this book. I want my money back.

Lyonene is a baron daughter and upon meeting the black lion she is scared from the rumors she heard but upon meeting him she see a ghost of a man whom is lind under all his gruff but deeply sad inside. Ranulf is known as the black lion upon visiting William a baron he is enchanted by his daughter and soon is betrothed to her his equal an lioness to his lion. Ranulf wants to be free of his demon but they haunt him and starts haunting him on his wedding week. With a rough start to his marriage an act of love teaches him to ket the past go. Then perhaps he can find a true love. good book sweet little funny at first but the middle just kinda drags on , but so worth the read regardless. I will be checking out the rest of series and trying other book by this author.
