A healer and a warrior fight to survive the winter . . . and each other.Grif is tired of life as a mercenary--tired of life, period. So he heads off into the mountains, not much caring whether he lives or dies. But when his indifference leaves him unconscious in a snowbank, a stranger finds him and insists on dragging him back from death.Kiernan doesn't really have time to nurse a stranger back to health; he's on an important mission. He doesn't know why the message he's carrying is significant, but he's determined to deliver it, even if it means risking his life in the winter mountains. Still, he can't just walk away from a fellow traveler in need.Grif didn't want to be saved, and he sure as hell doesn't want to be stuck with an annoying, na ve do-gooder. But since when do the mountains give men what they want? The snow is too deep to travel. Food is scarce. Grif and Kiernan learn to depend on each other, and eventually to care about each other. Neither of them wanted it to happen. But sometimes the mountains don't give men what they want; sometimes, the mountains give men what they need. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

When I finished reading last night (at 3:30 am) I thought, “M/M…or is it…M/m fantasy fairy tale.” With Griff the rather gruff sellsword starting out the story two weeks into on his journey while at the lowest point in his life and thinking he is ready to pack it in somewhere in the snowy mountains he keeps plodding only to fall off a cliff and…be saved by Kiernan. Now, Kiernan is much softer and some younger and totally clueless in more ways in one BUT also much more clued in to what he wants and…that is…Griff. This is a survival story with Griff teaching Kiernan many skills while Kiernan opened Griff’s heart and created a life that was so much better than he had experienced before. And, over time their relationship grows and changes significantly creating a sense of trust, caring, sharing and also the potential for a future together.
Did I like this novella? I must have – stayed up way past my bedtime to finish it.
Would I read more by this author? Yes
I can see this as the introduction to a series set in the mythical land Griff and Kiernan speak of and would enjoy reading such a series if it existed.
Thank you to NetGalley and Riptide Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review.
