The Mist Thief (The Ever Seas #3) by L.J. Andrews
(Audiobook narration by Lucy Rivers and Will Thorne)

Skadi first met her husband-to-be Jonas with blades in hand in a battle against each other, although Skadi fought only because her fiance was holding her grandfather against his will, and if she did not comply with his demands, it put her grandfather in grave danger. After the battle settled, and her cruel fiance was defeated and fled, they found that they had a mutual enemy and wanted to ensure they would be prepared for any future battle with him and his father. The king of the shadow elven agrees to marry her off to prince Jonas of the fae realms, to encourage peace between them and unite against them both. Both kingdoms wanted peace and an arranged marriage was agreed upon, purely political without the assumption that neither Skadi nor Jonas would look at the marriage as anything other than keeping their kingdoms safe in an alliance. This would be helpful if needed to join forces in any future war.

Neither of them expected to grow feelings for one another. Both had reasons to keep their hearts closed and told themselves it would never happen. The problem with that plan is the more time they spend together, the harder it is to say that the initial agreement is what they want anymore. Their mutual attraction to each other is palatable and becoming all-consuming. They both have dangerous power and Jonas loves that side of her. Her fire, and her darkness, but she fears it will push him away as everyone including the people from her own kingdom fear her magic.

“Be gentle, be kind, and be nightmarish. I will want you every way.”

As with the previous two books in this series, there was plenty of action, shameless wicked flirting, and a romance full of heat and desire. I liked this book just as much as the others and from the ending of this one, it looks like another is in the works for two of the side characters Mira and Tate. I'm looking forward to seeing how those two get on, although I have an idea where it will go
