Tamed (The Condemned Series Book 4) by Alison Acmes

4 Stars

The writing and editing of the ARC version of the manuscript was clean, with no typos that I found. The world building was vivid, with the underground waterways coming to life. The characterization was quite good, with both the hero and heroine being complex individuals with strengths and weaknesses. The development of the romantic relationship was dark, sweet, and hot at the same time. The plot and pacing was tight and quick, so I read this novel quickly. There was a medium amount of well justified angst and very high stakes in this novel, so I enjoyed it quite a bit. This novel used the Kidnapping trope, the Prison Planet trope, and the Enemies to Lovers trope. The world building, plot, and pacing were all four stars. The characterization and development of the romantic relationship were also four stars. The combined rating of this novel is therefore four stars. The novel ends on a Happy Ever After ending instead of a cliffhanger, so that is a plus. I recommend this novel to readers who enjoy the Prison Planet trope in sci-fi romance. I would like to read the next novel in this series when it releases. I may buy myself a keeper copy of this novel.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
