She's perky and her family doesn't appreciate her. He's suffered a tragedy and thought he'd never love again. The characterization is nothing special, and the setting is a blandThis was a lovely fantasy romance by one of my new favorite authors. I wonder why people complain so much if there is a romance in a sci fi or fantasy novel? Are all the people complaining single and uninterested in love or do they just insist that people in fiction be unrealistically asexual? Anyway this book sucked me right in.

Glad you enjoyed this one Grace!
The characters in this book are lovable. Every thing else seem typical for a love story, but the tone of the writing was incredibly inviting and almost soothing. Fawn and Dag were an unlikely pair; Dag with a military persona, and Fawn a lowly, naive farm girl, albeit witty, clever, and resourceful. Fawn was a damsel in distress rescued by Dag, that was how their paths crossed. They pushed old boundary lines to be together, against all odds.The story was not all romance, there was magic, action
