About this ebook

After centuries of frolicking as a Summer Girl, Siobhan isn't sure she's ready for her new life. Promoted to Summer Court advisor alongside Tavish, Siobhan suddenly has responsibilities and a chance at romance--until she and Tavish are at odds as they help guide their queen through a life-changing revelation.

Aislinn, former mortal and current Summer Queen, thought she'd already faced the most difficult obstacles fate could throw her way. Losing her humanity, becoming a queen, loving someone who spends fifty percent of his time in another world, facing the embodiment of war in a battle, Aislinn is ready to make sense of her new "normal."

No one is prepared when the former Dark King, Irial, arrives with a secret that could challenge the delicate balance between the Faery Courts.

This short story bridges the time between "Love Hurts" (the short story set after the original Wicked Lovely series, included at the end of all editions of COLD IRON HEART, and the next Wicked Lovely novel). "Summer Bound" will be available in ebook only in 2020.

Ratings and reviews

I loved being with some of my favorite characters again. The setting starts in a sparring match which is much like the rest of the story, I suppose. The Summer court is the focus; shown after the big war and how they are adjusting at the micro queen and advisor level. Irial comes a calling with all of the best lines of the story. While Tavish and Siobhan flirt around duty and desire. I feel like the meeting after Urial felt choppy and the lust was more graphic and less YA level than previous stories. It felt more novella then short story length with a new character introduced with new problems, but no resolutions. Overall, I would still recommend to fans of the series but I would not recommend starting with this book if new to the series.
