What wonderful world did I just jump into?!? Quick and complete world building (which is hard to find in romantasy), lovable characters, good spice quality! And I love me a good age gap romance!
The faeries and demons are at war. Faerie princess Lori runs away from her comfortable life. Demon commander Lephas is tasked with finding her and bringing her to the demon king. Add in a little bit of getting lost plus a pinch of forced proximity, and BAM! All the feels. And spice. But what will happen once Lephas brings his charge back to the demon kingdom?
OH. MY. GOODNESS! This book is AWESOME!! Who could have known that I’d laugh so hard at a c0ckbl0cking rabbit? Not me, that’s for sure! I don’t think I have ever wanted two characters to have a happy ending more than these two! We only get the HFN ending in this book because it’s only book 1 in the series, but I’m hoping to see more of their relationship in the coming books! Definitely run to read this series if you haven’t already!! The final 2 installments are releasing soon!! ❤️

<strong>A fantasy must read!</strong>

I had heard great things about this series but kept pushing it back on my TBR list only because its a mile long already. But then I read an excerpt from another book and I absolutely had to bump this series up on my list.

While I really enjoy a good fantasy novel, I freaking love a great, dark, romance fantasy novel. This book is absolutely in the latter category for sure. It's dark, intense, emotional, everything I love and can't get enough of. The world building is phenomenal and the characters feel real and are so well developed.

Am I about to binge every book in the series in the next two weeks? Oh yes, absolutely. But I'll be enjoying every minute of it and impatiently waiting for more.

Lost in Love is a fantasy romance and book one in the Hestaesia series. The kingdom has been at war between the demons and the Fae for decades. When the Fae king arranges a marriage for his daughter, Princess Lori feels she has no other option but to run away. But what happens when she’s found by a group of demon soldiers?

This was a fun fantasy read! I really enjoyed Lori’s confidence and optimism throughout this story. Lephas was a wonderful character and I enjoyed the banter between the two of them. This is an interesting world and I enjoyed the magic system a lot - even if we don’t know much about it yet

Overall this was a four star read for me. A good start to a series with engaging characters. This book had spicy moments throughout so overall three flames for spice

If you’re a fan of fantasy romance reads with fun characters, forced proximity, interesting world building and fun banter, then absolutely pick this one up

This story pulled me right through. I read almost all of it in one day. I liked how the two mains got to spend so much alone time getting to know one another. Sure they survived a cliff dive, frigid blizzards, and a bear attack, but it was all just a romantic walk in the woods 😆. I have already grabbed book 2 from KU.

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2023
This one is a mix of action and a cute romance. The cute romance that bloomed in this book was certainly unexpected, but it was a very nice addition to the plot. The princess running from her boring and overwhelming paranoid father because she wanted something more than just being married off to some old faery she didn't know. The action definitely contributed to the romance that bloomed between the faery and the demon that was sent to retrieve her safely.

The surprise that he got when she was more than willing to go with them, and pretty much destroy her father for what he was doing to the demon population just because he could. He sent people out to have her pretty much killed even though those are his daughters out there. Instead of realizing that he was in the wrong the whole time he chooses to have one of them killed off, and double security to watch the eldest since he didn't think that she would stay after both her sister have left the castle for something different.

The faery king has his head too far up in the shadows to realize the amount of damage that he has done to not only his people, but to his daughters. Since they believed that the only way that they would be happy would be by running away from him and his paranoia. The love that the faery and the demon indulge in is pretty raw at the beginning and then blooms into something shyer and delicate when they hold each other in a dark cabin after some serious love making.

Overall, all the little details mentioned during the development of the plot definitely contributed to the flow of the story. I absolutely loved reading through this, and I am glad that the author sent me this as a gift it is 100% worth the read.

I enjoyed the details of the sex and being able to picture it but the storyline just wasn't there. The whole book takes place within about a week, from her getting captured to them falling in love, and they haven't reached Banesteppe. It needs more substanfe

5.0 out of 5 stars Faeries and demons and bears, oh my!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 12, 2018
This was fantastic! The story-telling was engaging and I loved all the characters. (I know that Haros was only a minor character, but he was really funny, and I'm totally looking forward to reading more about him in the next instalment!)
Lori wasn't spoilt or annoying or anything, and even though she was ill-equipped to deal with life outside a castle, she was still determined to do her best, which I really liked. And Lephas! Lephas is awesome. He seems kind of reserved at first, but he's such a perv and I love it!! Lori doesn't know what she's in for! (Hint: a lot of pleasure.)
There are some really heart-wrenching moments in this, along with all the beautiful smut, and one scene in particular gave me epic chills. I recommend this to anyone after a little fantasy with their romance, and anyone who loves a good old-fashioned romp in the woods!

5.0 out of 5 stars I was lost and in love with this book.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 19, 2018
What a great debut from a seriously talented new fantasy/romance writer. The author has a beautiful way with words and uses their skills to weave a fantastic tale of love with inspiring imagery that gives a real sense of time and place. The descriptive language emphasises moments of quiet contemplation and visceral action with equal measure, showing a real mastery of both. I for one can't wait for the next instalment in the series.

What can I say about this book other than it was so enjoyable. The enemies to lovers, the tension, the will they won't they. Ugh, it was just awesome.

It's got romance, it's got violence, death, forbidden romance, and a few steamy scenes.
The plot line was awesome, and for those who like a #shadowdaddy, it has one of them too ;)

I'm straight into the next book in the series. If you haven't read it, please do.

I really enjoyed this book. Didn’t think I would, as I don’t normally do fantasy stuff, but I was hooked from the start. It was so well written, the author used just enough words when needed, which I like in a book. The intimate scenes were appropriate and enjoyable and gave a modern, realistic edge to the story. I would recommend you read this book -you won’t be disappointed

Not my usual read at all. But i really enjoyed the book. Read it in no time at all. The writing is great and the story really drags you in. The relationship between the factions and the characters is really good. Can't wait for the next one.
