Winning what you want may cost you everything you love...
As a general’s daughter in a vast empire that revels in war and enslaves those it conquers, seventeen-year-old Kestrel has two choices: she can join the military or get married. But Kestrel has other intentions. One day, she is startled to find a kindred spirit in a young slave up for auction. Arin’s eyes seem to defy everything and everyone. Following her instinct, Kestrel buys him—with unexpected consequences. It’s not long before she has to hide her growing love for Arin. But he, too, has a secret, and Kestrel quickly learns that the price she paid for a fellow human is much higher than she ever could have imagined.
Set in a richly imagined new world, The Winner’s Curse is a story of deadly games where everything is at stake, and the gamble is whether you will keep your head or lose your heart.

4.5 Stars. (Full Book Review)
Don't let the gorgeous cover or the summary fool you, The Winner's Curse is no light, swoony romance. It's a beautifully written, brilliantly crafted high fantasy story of love, betrayal, politics, and the fight for Independence. The romance between Kestrel and Arin is a slow burn, one that is both heart racing and frustrating. Plot twists and constant strategizing keep the story moving and it all leads up to an ending that left me clutching my heart and eager to read the next installment!
I just wish I didn't have to wait so long for it!

Can't wait to read the other chapters in the book it was wonderful and I am chomping at the bit to get the full book. Just from the first five chapters in the book I am hooked! I love that the heroine is so independent and just wants to do her thing on her own time and not have to have an escort everywhere she goes. While she is at the market with her friend Jess, Kestrel ends up with a new slave but where is she going to put him to work? As a blacksmith? Who knows what she will do, she certainly doesn't.
