Description

Open your Heart. Embrace the Magic.

Elle Drayfield gave up her dreams in a desperate bid to cure her sister’s mysterious illness. She has no magic of her own, yet an ancient cult will stop at nothing to get their hands on her. If she’s not careful, her dying sister will outlive her. But lucky for Elle, the most powerful darkweaver Belmara has seen in centuries has her back.

Blake “Nightshade” Gardner was content to let others solve Belmara’s problems. But ignorance is no longer an option when he collides with Elle and the nightmares that stalk her. Every moment with her leaves him vulnerable to emotions, more dangerous than any beast he has ever fought. But giving in might be the last thing he does.

Bound by their budding romance and a desire to save Belmara, Blake and Elle will have to confront painful pasts, endure lasting heartbreak, and hope their combined skills are enough to defeat the cult and the enemies within they never thought possible. But can their relationship survive the dangers that hunt them?

Perfect for readers looking for no-spice romance, heart-pounding action, swoon-worthy moments, and a romance between a darkweaver karthan and a desperate librarian. A Shadow So Sweet is book one in the Elemental Hearts series, a fantasy romance with a new couple in each book, but with the same fast pace, unforgettable characters, and delicious banter.

Open your Heart. Embrace the Magic.

This was a strong start to the Elemental Hearts series, it had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed the feel of this. C.E. Higgins was able to create a strong story that I was expecting and thought the characters worked overall. It left me wanting to read more in this series and was glad I read this.

What a mesmerizing debut. The story beautifully blends an enchanting world with relatable characters, drawing you into a tale of love, courage, and self-discovery.

The romance is both sweet and powerful, with a connection between the leads that feels genuine and deeply moving. Higgins' lyrical writing and carefully crafted plot make it impossible to put down.

If you’re a fan of romantic fantasy with heart-pounding stakes and tender moments, this book will sweep you away.
