![]() ![]() Rye is unbelievably stubborn, but has good reason to be - she's not only dirt poor, but that way for good reason. Flora, the rich upper class love interest is *so* so sweet and patient. It got a half a star for that alone. Secondly the characters are fun. Once I figured out what I had, I almost just deleted it, But oh the blurb was actually intriguing, and the author is a kiwi and I just thought why not. Turned out, it was pretty good. Firstly, it had a ton of little nods to NZ (mostly plants and flowers) which cracked me up and probably won't anybody else (although the idea of anyone not-kiwi trying to pronounce Kahikatea is giggleworthy). So I quite literally have no idea how I ended up with a lesbian romance set in a world populated with sprites, nymphs, goblins and the occasional fairy. I'm not queer, and I don't like fairies much. But Rye is a poor builder's labourer with a teenage sister to raise, while Flora is a wealthy artist-celebrity with a tree-top condominium and a sporty, late-model flying carpet. Broken Wings is a soaring celebration of the power of love, family, and justice to triumph over intolerance, homophobia, and slavery." I rarely read romance, I don't much like erotica (although, the heat level on this is pretty low). I mean look at this: "When Rye Woods, a fairy, meets the beautiful dryad Flora Withe, her libido, as squashed and hidden as her wings, reawakens along with her heart. This book is so far outside my wheelhouse, I hesitated to review it, because I have no idea what I'm talking about. ![]()
