A Cursed Son by Day Leitao
Romantic & sexy dreams link a false princess to a
dangerous, disgraced fae prince in this fun, steamy
enemies-to-lovers romantasy.
In her dreams, he envelops her in love. In real life, he imprisons
her in ice.
Assassin, liar, impersonator—dreamer.
As a royal decoy, trained to replace the Krastel princess even in
a political marriage, Astra’s life is not her own. With a duty
like that, how can she dream about love?
And yet she knows she has a kindred soul. She can feel his
presence every night, holding her in his arms, surrounding her
with his warmth.
But ice-cold reality crashes in when Astra’s carriage is attacked
by the Crystal Court’s disgraced prince. Banished for heinous
crimes and armed with powerful relics, he’s a wielder of mighty
magic and can even penetrate minds.
It turns out that he is the man in her dreams.
And this is about to get very, very awkward.
A Cursed Son is a fun, sexy, enemies-to-lovers romantic fantasy
for fans of fae, elemental magic, arranged marriage, forced
proximity, snarky banter, and dream connection.
Available on KU!
Astra is a royal substitute and she has been trained since her childhood to be a replacement for the Krastel princess - whether it is for a dangerous situation or even in a political marriage. Though she knows she can't have a life of her own, it doesn't stop her from yearning for more or dreaming about a kindred soul. But after a series of unexpected events, she ends up meeting him and it turns out that he is a banished fae prince - Marlak, who is rumored to have killed his entire family. Unlike her dreams, he's very cold and closed off, and now she's married to him😂 Talk about awkward 😂
This was my first time reading something from this author and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it! I'd initially requested the ARC after seeing the cover(it's so pretty!) and the synopsis, and it was definitely satisfying on the romantasy front! Both of the MCs were extremely likable and it was really fun to be in Astra's head as she's so witty and sarcastic but also levelheaded at the same time. Marlak was actually very sweet under his grumpy exterior and he was so respectful of Astra's wishes. I loved the slow development of their relationship from strangers to friends to lovers. It ends with a cliffy but there isn't any huge misunderstanding between the characters so I was very satisfied with that😂 I'm looking forward to reading the next book now and discovering more of this world!❣️✨ Also, this one is available on KU so you can check it out if you're in the mood for a good fantasy romance!

I'm originally from Brazil but I've been living in Canada for almost
20 years. I have a lot of influence from Brazilian writers and
Brazilian culture, but I also read some popular books in English,
watched anime, and movies from different countries.
I've always loved to write stories, and I like to always include
romance, action and humor in my writing. I think stories can touch us
deeply. I live in Montreal, Canada, with my son.
My books include the YA fantasy series Of Fire and Fae, Kingdom of
Curses and Shadows, Portals to Whyland, and the sci-fi standalones The
Sphere of Infinity and Star Spark.
