Star-Crossed Alliance by Monica Goertzen Hertlein digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Though her heart yearns for love, she must save her people.

Love against all odds, mysterious high-tech invaders, sword-wielding knights, and a warrior princess.

Princess Shawnia, heir and military leader of her prairie kingdom, intends to marry for love, but when her people are carelessly killed by invaders with unimaginably fast transport and deadly weapons never before seen, she must forge an alliance with the northern kingdom sealed by marriage to their prince. The northern prince is handsome and charming, but believes women and royals should remain protected far from the battlefield. Despite what the marriage will cost her in personal freedom and heartbreak, she resolves to see it through to save her people.

Star-Crossed Alliance Reviews

4.5
““You make me strong, yet at the same time I’ve never felt such comfort as I do in your arms. You are wise, yet make me feel like laughing. You have become my closest friend as well as my lover. I want to live with you for the rest of my life. I want to have children with you.” I was greatly invested with Shawnia’s story from the very start! I could hardly set this book down without having the urge of picking it back up again! I loved the setting! At times, the amount of detail written was a tad too much, but I’ll always prefer that over lack of information and detail! It was very easy to feel emotionally attached to Shawnia and her group! I love a strong, independent FMC who has such an amazing bond with her friends and family. The second Leon was introduced, I was a little worried there was going to be some second male lead syndrome but thank goodness that wasn’t a thing! The yearning between Shawnia and Leon? OBSESSED! You could tell how much Leon respected and cared for her<3 I will never ever be mad over a happy ending! I definitely will be buying the physical copy of this book once it’s released!”
“I was obsessed from the get-go! Shawnia is an inspiring character that is immediately likable and you care about her and her companions from the outset. The story was well written and though the ending was predictable, who doesn't love a happy ending? The diversity represented was easy going and natural as well, giving a very accepting and loving vibe to the world-building. A must read for any fantasy romance reader!”
