Title: Hollen the Soulless

Series: Dokiri Brides #1

Author: Denali Day

He’ll mark her flesh. She’ll claim his heart.

Always the dutiful daughter, Lady Joselyn is weeks away from marrying a rival lord in order to secure the future of her father’s house. However, she suddenly finds herself in the clutches of an ancient beast she’s only ever heard of in legends. More terrifying than that is the beast’s master, a wild man who insists Joselyn is his bride by right, and plans to seal his claim in blood.

Wyvern-rider, Hollen, has finally captured the woman of his dreams, though he quickly learns waiting for her was less than half the battle. His new bride wants nothing to do with him and Hollen knows he only has one chance to change her mind. To win her over, he’ll do whatever he must, even if it means keeping secrets.

Their wills pitted against each other, Joselyn will go to any lengths to free herself from this savage and fulfill her marital contract. Her father’s life depends upon it. But even as she plots her escape, Joselyn begins to wonder if one can also be bound by a duty to their own heart.

I was recommended this book by a book friend, a savage Dokiri leader and Lady Joselyn – was totally up for that! I was thinking Game of Thrones material!

There are 2 things about this book that I can say with absolute certainty.

1) Hollen, even though a savage, is a dream man with the patience of a saint.
2) Joselyn Helena Elise Fury was a fool for the majority of this book!

Actually 3.

3) I am not up for closed door segsual scenes. I mean what the heck! I thought this was going to be a juicy offering!

But it was quite gory, there was one part where that I had to skip because it was vile!

Although I disliked Joselyn I must say she was most definitely loyal and determined, mostly for the wrong people and wrong things though! She really grated on my nerves!

I did love the writing and also the descriptions of the world they live in and I do think I’ll read the next book!
