My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this fantasy story. These are two new authors for me which I enjoyed and look forward to reading more from them in the future. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters from the beginning. They took me on an adventure like no other. They are relatable as well as keep the story engaging. The author’s attention to details gave the story a fun, realistic feeling which brought the story to life. I found this story to be fast paced and full of adventure. This is a story about Rowan. She knows who she is and where her place is in this world until now. She now finds herself an outsider and in a relationship with a captor that takes a turn she never sees coming. What happens next, I highly recommend reading this book to find out. They are great characters that truly made the story for me. I really enjoyed Rowan and what she brought to the story. This is a great story that I don’t regret picking up and neither will you.

Scarlet Princess is a historical romance about an unorthodox, free spirited princess who is feared by many because of her scarlet hair. After being captured for “stealing”, her captive recognizes that there is something about her, and even with all her “flaws” he is intrigued. She is a “prisoner” with a culture that is very far off from what she is used to and has to adhere to some of their ways while they determine her fate. I really enjoyed this story and cannot wait to read the whole series. I really fell in love with the two main characters, Rowan and Theo. Rowan has a teasing way about her that is captivating. I see a lot of myself in her character – I can only play by the rules for so long till I need to say something and defend what I believe. One way I knew I really loved this book was the fact that I read it in a day, and in the morning I was still smiling and repeating quotes in my head while feeling all warm and fuzzy!!

Truly interesting tale of romance among two kingdoms that hate each other. Princess Rowan and her cousin are busted for stealing vodka. Of all things, vodka? I love this, actually. In most stories, its’s jewels or high price items but the vodka makes it feel a little more real. The characters feel real because Princess Rowan is having to overcome these feelings of how she grew up. It’s a book that makes you think. Highly recommend.

This was such a good story or of a strong willed princess who was someone that was easily admired in more than one way. The story seamed to weave just so perfectly, and everything that happened, made sense, and the twists and turns and impact it did to the story was undeniable! I could easily be apart of this kingdom helping Rowan with the issues she faced. It was that amazing of a story!

It was not hard to like Rowan. She had the brilliant mind of a ruler, but also the right amount of sass for any situation and the perfect ruler for her kingdom in my opinion. She was more than just well written, she was very realistic in more ways than one! She faced trouble sort to say through out this book, but she knew how to handle her self, and wanted to be her independent self. She may be trouble some at times, but when the fight for life as well as her kingdom comes up, she is more stronger in her heart than anyone probably ever expected, as well as a force not to be reckoned with!

I loved how the story played out. With not just our heroine, Rowan, but with the other characters she meets and we are introduced to through out the book. Characters I met, I thought were say a “good guy” but is that the intention or someone more wicked? Or am I wrong of the wickedness? There was so much awesome components to this novel! When I got to the end, I was like no! I want to know more, but this is where it will pause to the next one in the series. I need the next installment, out as of well like yesterday haha. It was so easy to get lost into this book, and I loved it from beginning to the pause at the end.

The author had put together a wonderful story that flowed like a beautiful river, each thing leading to the next. Every word and action led to what happened next. It was an amazing read, and so very easy to get sucked into the story line, and get lost in. Which i certainly did! The writing and technique truly spoke for itself and I anxiously am awaiting to see what unfolds in the next book in this amazing series!

This is a book written by two authors that I was unfamiliar with. I must say that they did an unbelievable job of writing this book together. I LOVED IT! I fell madly in love with the main character, and I want to be her. Seriously. She is such a strong willed and independent person that I couldn’t help but love her. And root for her success I did. There is apparently a series that was written previously that takes place in the same land of Lochlann that I didn’t know about before reading this book. I don’t think it’s required to read it prior to beginning this one. However, I do plan to go to my library to check them out just so I can get more insight into the land. I will say, PLEASE READ THIS BOOK! I promise that you will love and enjoy it just as much as I did. I honestly can’t say that this book had any flaws. I cannot wait to read book 2. Thank you ladies for such a wonderfully, well written book.

Scarlet Princess is the first book in The Lochlann Feuds series by Robin D. Mahle and Elle Madison. This is my first read from either of these authors, but the cover and blurb sparked my curiosity, and as I am a sucker for a great fantasy, I quickly snatched up a copy, putting aside everything else I was reading, and dove in to follow along on the adventure.
WOW!!! This story was unexpected- in a great way! Even though it took me a chapter or two to really find a feel for the story, I quickly found myself completely engrossed in what was happening and became entirely invested in the character/s and the whole outcome of the story. I thought I knew where this story was headed- but the authors cleverly twisted things up a bit and had me clamouring to discover how things would play out- I spent a lot of the time on the edge of my seat waiting and wanting to know what happens next. And that ending!!!! OMG- I need the next book STAT!!!!
The most exciting thing here is not only have I found a new series I absolutely Flove, I have also discovered two wonderful authors who have a plethora of new (to me) books for me to explore!!!! #winning!!! Click-click-clickety-click, I can feel a book binge coming on!!!!
This is primarily a fantasy, with historical detailing, a dystopian-esque setting, wonderful world-building, drama, danger, romance, and plenty more!!! It felt to me like a more grown up, dystopian-esque version of Disney’s “Brave”. It would make a great movie or television series, too!
You will notice that I haven’t gone into any detail over the storyline, that’s because I really think that you should go into it without knowing too much, and just let the story and the authors surprise you. Trust me, if love fantasy adventure, with romance, danger, and intrigue- then you will not want to miss the opportunity to grab a copy of this book to add to your collection!
Fantastic!!
Excitedly awaiting Book #2, Tarnished Crown- It can’t come quick enough for my liking!

Thank you, Robin D. Mahle and Elle Madison!

Scarlet Princess is the first book in The Lochlann Feuds series by Robin D. Mahle & Elle Madison. It is a quick read with lots of adventure. The world building, the plot and the characters are done well in this a sweet and fun romance. This is my first read of this duo and I found myself genuinely enjoying it and lost in the journey.
Rowan our strong willed and fiery red headed heroine is strong, feisty, sassy, and fun. She is entertaining to say the least and she is so well written you can’t help but lover her. I love the banter between the characters and often found myself laughing out loud.
Just kind of ended because there is one of those that many hate, yes there is a cliff hanger.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

These ladies are some of my favorite authors for a reason!! They write a phenomenal story with AMAZING characters that always leaves me wanting more!

The Lochlann Feuds continue with the story of the daughter of Queen Charlotte and King Logan, Princess Rowan. Oh boy does she land herself in quite a situation! She ends up in enemy territory only to discover that her offenses are life threatening. As she finds love, maneuvers tricky friendships, and tries to endear herself to her enemies, she is not prepared for what happens. In all honesty… neither was I!

This book ends on a completely unexpected cliffhanger that I have only read one other time. There is a secret part of me that hopes I am right about it, too! But I am not going to spoil it. I cannot wait for the next book!

This is a must read book! Fun, witty, clean fantasy romance!

Elle and Robin can usually be found on road trips around the US haunting taco-festivals and taking selfies with unsuspecting Spice Girls impersonators.

They have a combined PH.D in Faery Folklore and keep a romance advice column under a British pen-name for raccoons. They have a rare blood type made up solely of red wine and can only write books while under the influence of the full moon.

Between the two of them they’ve created a small army of insatiable humans and when not wrangling them into their cages, they can be seen dancing jigs in fields of wildflowers and sacrificing brownie batter the pits of their stomachs.

And somewhere between their busy schedules, they still find time to create words and put them into books.
