Pride of Uttor #3
Adored
Adora Leonnte, sister to the Uttoran emperor, endured a year trapped in a forced marriage—and his bed—by a Sebboyan prince driven by a sinister prophecy to take her against her will. The war that followed destroyed the small country, but she emerges unbroken…if not unscathed. Safe again in Uttor, she vows to put the horrors she faced behind her and once again become the fearless young woman she was before her abduction.
As fate would have it, her hated kidnapper left her carrying his child, and that is a condition even she cannot wish away. Adora’s enduring hope for romance fades until a blue-eyed, self-possessed foreigner walks back into her life and reawakens feelings promising the erotic delights of which she’s always dreamed.
Vallmer Berringen, the handsome and devout prince of a country allied with conquered Sebboy, has come to Uttor for two reasons: to secure the treaty that will give his country a much needed alliance, and to fulfill his father’s orders to use the occasion to find a suitable bride. Captivated by Adora’s intelligence and courage, Vallmer is torn by the fact she is both pregnant and pagan. Her infamous reputation taints Adora, a woman that a man of his position and faith should never be tempted to woo.
Can he reconcile his vision for his country with his passion for a woman whose spirit sets his blood on fire—but for whom kingdoms have gone to war?

About the author
Tali Spencer
16 books165 followersI am fascinated by swords, mythology, and everything ancient and magical. Sword and sandals? I'm in! But I also love bodice-rippers, Regency romances, magical realism, pulpy detective stories, cozy mysteries, and South American literature.
Though I grew up as a bit of a nomad, I currently live in Pennsylvania with my husband and travel whenever I can. Every destination yields a story or three.
When not writing, I read everything (really, everything), experiment with food, and take long walks with my loving, if slightly neurotic, poodle.

’m a fan of Spencer’s work, and even this series because it was the first by Spencer that I had read. So you can image my happiness when I found out that this book was released, I couldn’t grab it up quick enough.
I do want to start off with saying that this is by no means a standalone. And honestly, even though I had read the other books in the series, that was awhile ago. So there were some times where I was a bit confused about what was going on, and all the drama that was happening.
But taking all of that out of consideration, I did still enjoy this story quite a bit. The storyline between Vallmer and Adora was just amazing. Watching their relationship form when it was a bit taboo (but not that type of taboo!), but it was one that started as a friendship and grew into something more serious. That was amazing to follow along with because it’s not something that you get to read about a lot.
Of course as with all of Spencer’s books, there is an insane amount of drama and action that kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting to read more and find out what was going to happen next.
All in all, I have to say that this series is a great read and if you enjoy cross romantic pairings books (Book 1 is MF, book 2 is MM and book 3 is MF) then I completely suggest that you grab this one!

4.5*
Well-written, well-paced with interesting characters and believable interactions. This story swept me into the world of Uttor on the first page, and I couldn't stop reading until I turned the last page.
