Simply Salcedo ✨: Review: Shards of Desire

Shards of Desire by R.L. Caulder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beauty and the Beast inspired
Enemies to lovers
Dual POV
Morally grey characters
Arranged marriage
One bed & one horse
Forced Proximity
Magic bonds & curses
Dragons

As soon as I saw RL Caulder say it was Beauty and the Beast inspired, I knew I needed this in my life.

I loved the change up of M/F vibes over the why choose! (I do love me some why choose though…)

Sia and Theo were my perfect match. Broody, moody, and has a booty?! Jk, but really. Sia was a strong and fierce woman who knew exactly what she wanted.

10/10 perfect way to close out this year. ✨

Looking for your next great read?

Shards of Desire is the first STANDALONE book in the Dragons of Sin universe. This book is a standalone that can be read on its own, and will not have a cliffhanger. The universe is intended to be read in any order. Content intended for mature audiences. Follow the fiery Siyana and her icy dragon king as they navigate the arranged marriage neither of them wanted, but perhaps will one day realize they needed. Amidst a kingdom being torn apart by a curse, can a scorned king and his queen, who never wanted a crown, find a way to unite two halves of a world that were always meant to be whole? Tropes and content included, but not limited to: Dragons & humans, royalty, arranged marriage, forced proximity, one bed, beauty and the beast inspired.
