All my life, death was right around the corner. I just never expected it to be delivered by the man I was falling in love with…

Magic has been outlawed for almost a century, and anyone caught wielding it or bearing its mark is executed. Which is why I know every day could be my last.

I'm marked for death. My skin bears the branding of the moon. I just thank the stars that it's not somewhere visible.

For one night, I willingly put myself in danger, picking a stranger to lose myself in before I begin my life of servitude to the crown as a member of the King's Guard. But the man I thought was a stranger turns out to be the Blade of the King, Thorn, my new boss.

It doesn't matter that he's temptation incarnate or that the slightest flick of his fingers against my skin brings back echoes of the night we spent in each other's arms. We can never be together again because I can't risk losing this job, and I definitely can't risk him finding out my secret.

Not everything in the Eaorin Kingdom is as it seems, though, and my boss has secrets too. Ones that are just as deadly as my own…

The first book in a new fantasy romance series, Marked by the Moon is filled with steamy enemies-to-lovers romance, mystery, a heroine who will fight for everything she has, and a hero who might just be a villain. For fans of Elisa Kova, Sylvia Mercedes, and LJ Andrews, this thrilling forbidden love romance will keep you entranced until the very last word!

I really liked this story. Definitely some difficulties for the main character and ready to listen to the next story.

Captivating Story

The writing was okay. Character development was okay-ish. However, there really wasn't much going on in terms of a plot line, or development of relationships between characters.

Not enough storyline for me.

It's a great story, characters and world. The narration is terrific! But if you are looking for a happy ending...you won't find it in this story...

Talk about an Unhappy ending...

The storyline was fine, intriguing, interesting. The romance is spicy! I was a bit annoyed with how often certain phrases were repeated & I was ready for the story to move along. I enjoyed the free credit but will not be using my credits to continue the story.

Spicy, interesting, but repetitive & slow.

3 hours in and I have to stop. No clear idea where this book is heading but it’s slow with lack of tension and the scenario doesn’t make sense.

DNF - Where’s the plot?

It has potential! But overall, it was very dry. When you cut out all the layers it’s really about a girl who is relentlessly bullied for sleeping with her boss. At least, that was the main focus of this story. And it’s not like the “reason” is all that wild either. The other guards are upset because she’s sleeping with their boss…. Ok? Why did that take an entire book to convey to us? Being beaten in the bathroom, and locked in the tower was about 60% of the book. Perhaps the next few will dive into the actual magic part.

The previous review also has a valid point. There is no actual reason why this lady had to join the kings guard. Especially if she is literally marked for death and Is well aware it grows bigger every month??Her magic “sister” works in the castle so she wants to protect her ok sure, but why does she need a body guard to be a librarian again? Because she’s performing magic in the castle? But why is she doing that in the first place if it’s that dangerous? Can magic touched not resist the pull of magic after a certain amount of time? Do they die if they don’t cast a spell or something? Why would a king who apparently doesn’t think woman can fight call a literal woman to his castle to personally defend him? And if it’s well known that these marks mean someone is moon touched, wouldn’t they at least check if a guard has one before assigning them to protect king??? Apparently the most important assignment in the world? Uh?

This needs a bit more development and then I think it would be an amazing story. Give us readers a better understanding of the WHY behind her decisions and you might have gold.

I love Helen but this one.. not too sure
