The Courting of Bristol Keats follows Bristol who is struggling to stay afloat with her sisters after the death of their parents. Bristol starts receiving letters from an aunt who she has never heard of so she decides to meet her. It turns out that her father might still be alive so she has to journey to a land full of fae. Bristol ends up making a bargain with the fae king, Tyghan but he knows things about her parents and wants to find her father as much as Bristol.

This was a perfectly average fantasy romance. Personally I found the romance to be quite weak, it just wasn’t developed enough for me. The fae elements were interesting but nothing spectacular when compared to other fae books. It was fine but I won’t read the second book.

Mary E. Pearson has crafted an utterly spellbinding fantasy in The Courting of Bristol Keats! Bristol’s journey from her quiet life to a realm of gods, fae, and monsters is a riveting adventure filled with heart-stopping action and breathtaking romance. The intricate plot weaves forbidden love and dangerous bargains into a tapestry of emotional depth and high stakes. Tyghan, the enigmatic fae king, adds layers of intrigue and tension that kept me glued to the pages. This book is a masterful blend of fantasy and passion, exploring the complexities of love and the sacrifices we make for those we hold dear. It’s a captivating start to what promises to be an unforgettable series.
