She even manages to sink a poison-tipped arrow into their commander, who survives long enough to conquer the Keep and claim Calista for his own. Now, with her fathers life at stake, Calista must nurse the brigand back to health, and the strangest thing happens: She finds herself fascinated by his tautly muscled body, and enthralled by his hotly whispered demands. Ever since his fathers death, the fearsome warrior they call Torch has been consumed by his quest for revenge. Taking Blackbriar Keep is the first step in that plan, andby the three godsit wont be the last. But after taking one look into Calistas smoldering gray eyes, Torch discovers a passion nobler than retribution.

I was a tad worried it was going to be more historical romance than I like. But for the most part, it was just enough fantasy to keep me interested. I found myself at times a bit confused as to what was going on. I was easily distracted. Overall, Destined for a King was a good read and I would be keen to continue the series. I liked the main characters, and the plot was interesting. I just got a tad lost at times.

The hero first meets the heroine when she wounds him with an arrow as he's storming her family's stronghold. Cue one of my favorite tropes: nursed back to health. However, it's tough to balance the actual healing portion with plot advancement and this book just lagged at times. I also wanted more of the badassness we saw from the heroine at the beginning. ⭐️⭐️💫 (2.5 stars)
