(A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet)

In which there are magic ropes, Greek Gods with a favorite goddaughter, and a kickass magic system, this is A Promise of Fire!

In Bodice Ripping’s 7th episode, our heroines breathe a sigh of relief when they read a book that’s actually good! The book’s heroine, Cat, is the Kingmaker, a woman who possesses powers to divine the truth through lies, and when she’s found by the warlord Griffin, who is also the second in command of the kingdom, she finds herself literally roped into helping him keep his family on the throne. The book features a unique setting based on Greek mythology, well-rounded characters with developed arcs, and a plot that actually works outside of the main couple’s romance. If you’re looking for a fantasy series with cool magic as well as a hot romance, this is the series for you!

Join our favorite ladies as they discuss Kylo Ren, how women-driven narratives make romance stories more enjoyable for women (surprise!), and the merits of sexy spanking.
