Best read of 2025

This was my second arc reading ever and I loved this book! Adored every single bit!
This book is a story between Cyriel and Enna. They are drawn to each other from the very first chapter. It feels like magic but that's crazy right ? When I started reading the first few chapters I thought ooooh this is a cowboy romance...nice....COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG...
I don't want to spoil it too much but Enna lives in this century and is a married woman. Cyriel lives in this century but wants to go back and he needs her to do that. He knows she's his soulmate (I got some acotar vibes here, I heard the line there you are in my head). Eventually they both get back in the 14th century (hello outlander vibes). And she learns he's anything but a cowboy. He went back with a purpose, he defends the weak (robin hood anyone?) and wants justice to be done. mix all of that with a ton of spice, and you get one of the best books ever. There was a scene in this book, so spicy I think even my ears went red . There is also an age gap between Enna and Cyriel. She's 29 and he's around 15 years older than her. But then again I'm a real sucker for age gap romances. Beware this book is the very first of a trilogy and book 2 will be available somewhere in spring '26. So you know it ends in a major cliffhanger and the author doesn't want to tell me what's going to happen next .
This book has over 500 pages and I read it in 2 days, it's that good, plus sleep is overrated anyway. It's like nothing I ever read before,a very unique, spicy, dark romance. You will go through so many emotions in this book and all I wish for is to be able to read it for the first time again. Please pick it up, you won't regret it !!!
