Iron and Magic

4.5 solid stars.

You will want to read this book before Kate 10. I read that somewhere.

Hey! Its been a while, between being a human cafeteria for a newborn, and all the dirty diapers, its really hard to make time to read, let alone write a review. The little guy doesnt like to sleep for more than 30 minutes during the day.

HUGH! I have been waiting with bated breath since they announced they were writing a Hugh book. And I was not disappointed. There was action, Hugh is super sexy, there was drama. What more can you ask for? Hugh's Iron Dogs come get him and stop him from drinking himself into an early grave. See, Roland took away his love and magic, so poor Hugh is having a hard time coping. Thats alright, because it made a good read. So Hugh has 300 ish soldiers to keep safe, and keep fed, clothed, and sheltered. Did I not mention that hes broke? Well, hes broke. His Centurions found a way to keep the Iron Dogs sheathed in luxury. OK, not really, it was just a deal to keep them fed, clothed, and sheltered. It however, comes at the cost of marriage. To Hugh! Lucky lucky girl.

So blah blah, Hugh marries Elara, the leader of the settlement that has agreed to take in the Iron Dogs for protection. The outside world is supposed to think its a real marriage, so when they have guests they put on a front. Which I loved. Their back and forth snipping really reminded me of the back and forth teasing my Husband and I have. (I promise its a loving back and forth)

Through unknown enemies, and known enemies, Elara and Hugh need to show each other that they can be trusted not to back out of their deal. Can they do it?

Youll have to read the book to find out! Hint: Its a pretty good book, and it was only book 1. :)
