*****Spoilers*****
This one is really a 2.5 for me. Thorne and Saina are promised to one another when she's a baby. However, political machinations and threats pull Thorne into a marriage with a woman from a war hungry realm covetous of other realms. The wife is duplicitous and continually tries to kill Thorne. Why he keeps her around I have no idea even now that the book is finished. In any case, the wife learns of the bride contract and tries to have Saina killed so Thorne sends Saina to earth to protect her. Earth is just exiled people from the realm Thorne rules outside of earth but concealed by magic. After an assassination attempt, Thorne teleports to earth essentially on his death bed to Saina's apartment. Saina heals him with her powers and now that she's a young adult, is ready to come back to the realm with Thorne. Thorne resists her overtures for safety reasons until his hand is forced. Earth gets increasingly unsafe for Saina as people from his realm come after her but the real catalyst to Thorne's change of heart is Saina. In between the begging for Thorne to take her with him, they spend a bit of time satisfying their lust for one another. It results in Saina becoming pregnant and since she's carrying a boy, the only sex in Thorne's bloodline who can teleport, Saina can get to the realm on her own and threatens to return if Thorne won't take her himself. Saina's insistence is because she wants to help him with the assassination attempts. Things end well and Saina does end up being helpful in devising a plan to get to Thorne's family.
All in all, Thorne was too moody and uncommunicative for me. For magical being who is hundred of years old, I found his constantly shutting down instead of talking through issues with Saina to be annoying. That his jealousy is piqued when Saina went to that party was ridiculous and especially when he hadn't bothered to see her in a long time because he was off pouting and ignoring her messages. The angry sex after was hot though. The whole Tarik is my brother and he knew, but then talk about him treating Saina as a date was a bit yuck.
