Imperial Princess Celeste knows the only marriage she can have is a political one, but when she meets her potential betrothed, Prince Rayn, she knows what she really wants is passion and love. Prince Rayn, though sorely needing political advantage, has no desire to marry a princess of Kjall, whose previous ruler murdered a member of his own family, but Celeste is sweeter, prettier, and more intelligent than he ever thought, and he may not be able to resist. With political plots and assassination attempts surrounding them, they will have to team up to save both their countries and take the risk of actually falling in love.

PRINCE'S FIRE by Amy Raby is an addictive read full of fantasy, romance, and political intrigue. Raby creates an extremely interesting world full of fire mages and assassins, and the detail about the kingdoms is fabulous. I haven't read the previous two novels in the series, but it was easy to figure everything out in this book as far as background goes. I would recommend reading the other two first to get a deeper feel of the world and learn more about some of the secondary characters to make this book even more enjoyable.

I love the romance between Celeste and Rayn. It is surrounded by incredible political movements since they are both royalty, and I love how they both care so much for their people and doing a good job at their role. They balance each other wonderfully. Often in romance like this, you get a bad, playboy male interest, and while that is perfectly fine, I really like how Rayn isn't like that. He's no saint, and neither is Celeste, but they are wonderfully both kind of normal in that area in the sense that they have pasts that do still affect them, but they don't let it rule them.

PRINCE'S FIRE is a wonderful adult fantasy romance novel, and I absolutely love Amy Raby's style of writing. I am definitely going to read more of her work, and I hope to see more books set in this world.
