Book 2 in the Dark Magick series. This is what I love about paranormal romances - things that normal people can't do are totally normal for Fae and situations that are SO not possible in the real world are totally acceptable for me to believe in paranormal novels. Great book - great story, nice sex scenes, lots of adventure and intrigue, creepy villains and more! I'll look for the other books in this series. Emmaline Gallagher is about to risk it all and voluntarily travel into Piefferburg. This might not seem all that dangerous until you know that she is Fae and only her personal gift of handling glamour kept her out of the Fae lock up in the first place. But Emmaline has been working with the underground against the Phaendir, and in order to keep them from becoming even more powerful, she has to contact the one man who would rather kill her than look at her. Emmaline is counting on her glamour to keep her true identity a secret during this mission.Aeric O'Malley, more commonly known as "the Blacksmith" has waited centuries for a chance at revenge for the death of his fiancé. Over the many years it has been the one thing that kept him going. No one knows what happened to the assassin who killed her, but Aeric has made sure that if Emmaline ever shows her face in Piefferburg he will know. Now after so long it appears that revenge just might be his - she has entered the city.Barely past the gates, Emmaline finds out that not even her glamour will keep her safe from Aeric. Now she is his captive and it's looking pretty dim for her. Aeric has hidden Emmaline away because he just couldn't bring himself to kill her immediately. Time is running on both Emmaline's mission and her quest to capture the only man she has ever loved. The truth is all Emmaline has to explain those long ago actions and why it happened. Aeric finds himself believing Emmaline and eventually deciding to help her out. But they soon discover the danger to Emmaline was not just from Aeric. His heart given again, Aeric will do anything to keep Emmaline safe - even if it means destroying her trust and love.
What do You think about Charme Cruel (2013)?
Interesting story is what carries this, I skipped all the sex because it's boring.

Interesting and not a bad read, but still not quite pushing my buttons
