The Queen’s Dance (Heart & Hand Series Book 2) by Nicole E. Kelleher – Review by Jennifer Gordon

The Queen’s Dance: A Sizzling Slow Burn Fantasy Romance by Nicole E. Kelleher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Once again the mystical world of Aurelia came vividly to life in this epic, sizzling slow burn fantasy romance. I was gripped by book one so would personally recommend reading it first, however this can be read as a standalone story. Lady Claire has a secret, that she can ‘foretell another’s fate’. Claire is determined to never fall in love due to this curse. Then she meets Trian, a shy nobleman assigned by King Godwin to escort her across the realm. When Claire discovers he is immune to her powers a friendship develops. Claire then finds herself falling in love, however, her fears come true when Trian is attacked. Claire is taken to the dark kingdom of Nifolhad by assassin’s. In order to survive and with hopes of returning to Aurelia Claire ally’s herself with the mystical women of the Fenrhi Temple. She soon finds herself in the middle of the battle for Nifolhad’s throne, but help then comes from unexpected places. To return to her home and to her loved ones she must embrace her curse and think of it as a gift. The descriptive narrative brings both the characters and setting to life making me feel immersed in the story. The epic storyline and exciting plot twists had me gripped throughout. Whilst the slow burn romance between Claire and Trian kept me happily turning the pages. I look forward to book three!
