*Book source ~ Many thanks to the author for providing a review copy in exchange for an honest review.

Layla Brightarrow has been in love with Ulric of Glengowyn all her life. When war breaks out between humans and Sorcerers the elves decide to remain neutral, putting Ulric completely out of Layla’s reach. She is one of the best archers around so she is the one given many of the assassination orders to eliminate traitor elves, those who lure humans to the Sorcerers. Then she is ordered to kill Ulric’s brother Althir and almost dies in the attempt. Will Ulric remain neutral? Is he loyal to family? Or Layla?

Not bad for a short story. The world is described very well and the characters are decently fleshed out. The chemistry between Layla and Ulric is off the charts and the conflict put me on the edge of my seat. Ulric seems to care for Layla, but is he still loyal to his brother? Trust is hard for Layla, but in the end it’s all worth the effort. A wonderful quick read.

~*~*~*~*~
In a fantasy world, not everything is as it seems...Knowing this, can two lovers learn to trust each other, or will their relationship tear them apart—and possibly contribute to the destruction of an entire race?


Layla is a human, fighting for her people, trying to defeat the Sorcerers set on enslaving and killing her entire race. The elves have decided not to take sides, leaving the humans to fight for themselves. But when the Sorcerers manage to bring traitor elves to their side, the scale tips even more—and it is likely that the winner of this war won't be the humans...


Ulric is an elf, one that has known Layla for years—and secretly wanted her the entire time. When she is almost killed, twice, while trying to get rid of traitor elves (including his own brother) he finally realizes that he can't live without her. But Layla doesn't seem to feel the same way—or does she?


Elf-fire, a pheromone that elves produce when deeply, truly, attracted to someone else, only adds to the passion that already burns between them. Can Layla learn to trust Ulric, who has put his heart and body on the line for her? Or will her trust in him lead to heartbreak—not to mention betrayal that could kill her....


Brightarrow Burning is a short novella, well under 100 pages. And yet, while reading it I almost forgot this fact. Usually, novellas feel rushed and incomplete, leaving the reader wanting more before the last page is ever turned. But Brightarrow Burning was nothing like this. I absolutely loved it, and while, obviously, I wouldn't say no to more from this book, it wasn't needed as Isabo Kelly did a wonderful job at telling a complete story in only a matter of pages.

I enjoyed watching Ulric and Layla fall for one another. The loving was spicy hot and so intense that I think I saw some smoke wafting from my NOOK. But, even more important, was the fact that their romance seemed genuine—it was not just lust burning out of control. They were connected, heart, body and soul. I'd love to have my own elf lover, as the elf-fire seems to turn an already hot scene into a real scorcher! Of course, we find out that it only burns that bright when true love is involved—on both of their parts. Without love, eventually the elf-fire sputters out to nothing and can leave the human ill for the rest of their life. So maybe I'll rephrase that: I would love to have my own true-love elf lover. :)

This is my first romance novel and I wasn't sure how I would like it. I will admit that romance is not my thing but I thought Isabo created a good story and it was well written. There were pirates in space, space stations and time travel which for me is good since I love Sci-Fi. I did want to know how the story ended and what happened to Jake and Leia. Good story and characters.
