I HATED this book. The plot seemed forced, and really weird. The twist at the end was badly executed. And don’t even get me started on the characters. The princess has no personality traits except being creepily obsessed with the main guy. She’s helpless and makes him do all the work. The main guy is totally weird. The language he uses back and forth makes me confused as to which time period this is.

In conclusion, this book is totally sexist and weird. DO NOT READ IT BECAUSE IT WILL BE A WASTE OF YOUR TIME.

"The Fire Between US", was a great story of love, respect and devotion. It was hard to put down. It kept you wanting to see what happened next. It was not predictable(which is good). It kept you curious as to what was going to happen next. There was some violence, but it was mostly a sweet story of love and devotion. I would recommend this book.
