The last time a fae royal took a human bride it started a war.This time it could prevent one.
I have been a loyal servant to the fae crown my whole life–an arrangement that has kept me safe from the violence between our two races…until I kill a fae noble.
Sentenced to death I beg the king for mercy and am shocked when it comes from the eldest prince who hates me.
But there’s a catch…
Now thrust into the role of my growly protector’s bride-to-be, I have to choose between playing along with this fake engagement or following my own heart to protect my people.
Until the Stars Fall is the first in a new fantasy romance collection of interconnected stand-alones set in a magical war-torn world, where love is weakness and danger lurks around every corner. Loosely inspired by the classic movie, Sabrina, this slow-burn fated mates tale with a fake engagement brings you a growly, yet noble fae prince and the sunshine human who just might be the death of him…if he doesn’t fall for her first.
My Thoughts:
A Quick, Captivating Romantasy Adventure
If you’re looking for a fast-paced, enchanting escape into the world of fantasy with a swoon-worthy romance, Until the Stars Fall might just be your next great read. For me, it’s another solid four-star rating! This standalone romantasy hit all the right notes, and while it doesn’t dive too deep into complex world-building, it strikes the perfect balance for anyone looking for a fun, engaging story that’s easy to follow.
A Perfect Mix of Fantasy and Romance
At its heart, Until the Stars Fall is a classic enemies-to-lovers romance wrapped in a “fake dating” trope with a dash of fantasy. From the very first pages, I was pulled into the dynamic between the two lead characters, their playful banter, and the inevitable romantic tension. The chemistry between the main characters is electric, and if you love the idea of opposites attracting in a high-stakes world, you’re going to enjoy this.
A Fast-Paced, Addictive Read
One of the things I loved most about this book was how quickly I was able to get through it. I finished it in about two days, and once the story had me hooked, I didn’t want to put it down. The pacing is excellent—there’s always something happening, whether it’s action, romance, or plot twists. The straightforward world-building made it easy to immerse myself in the story without feeling overwhelmed by intricate details or overly complicated lore.
A Refreshing Fae Romance
It’s been a little while since I’ve read a good story about a mated fae pairing, and this book reminded me of why I enjoy this trope so much. The fae element adds just the right amount of magic and mystery to the romance, without overshadowing the character development. The relationship between the protagonists felt organic, and the mated bond added depth to their connection. If you’re a fan of fantasy but don’t want to get too deep into world-building, this book offers the perfect mix.
Strong, Witty Female Lead
One of the standout features of this novel is the strong female main character (FMC). She’s witty, clever, and stays true to herself throughout the story. I found myself rooting for her right from the start, and her strength and humor made her a relatable and enjoyable protagonist. Her dynamic with the male lead added layers to the story, making the romantic build-up even more satisfying.
A Great Choice for Fantasy Newcomers
If you’re new to the fantasy genre or just dipping your toe in, Until the Stars Fall is an excellent entry point. The plot is engaging without being too complex, and the romance element makes it approachable for readers who might typically shy away from heavier fantasy reads. It’s an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a lighter but still captivating read.
Final Thoughts
All in all, Until the Stars Fall is a thoroughly enjoyable romantasy that I would happily recommend to anyone in the mood for a quick, magical romance with a strong female lead and an irresistible enemies-to-lovers storyline. It’s the kind of book you can breeze through in a couple of days, leaving you smiling and satisfied by the end.
This is definitely one I’ll be suggesting to my fellow fantasy and romance readers alike!
